I haven't heard a line that presumptious since Boys II Men's "I'll Make Love to You (...Like you Want me to)".

Usually, when people say this they mean that the vocals have been over-processed with Auto-Tune, which is an effects plug-in that can be used within Pro Tools and other DAW (digital audio workstation) software.
Basically, Auto-Tune "listens" to the vocal for pitch variations, and will "correct" those variations based on user settings. Use it on a light setting on a singer who's generally got good pitch and it's barely noticeable - the vocal just blends better with the music.
However, the trend in production as of late is to over-crank the settings (which means fewer pitch fluctuations), even on skilled singers. This creates an artificial vibrato that is reminiscent of the old "vocoder" effect, and is VERY distracting once you've heard it a few times.
In dance music, and more recently in dancehall reggae, Auto-Tune is used as a special effect to create robotic pitch slurs a la Cher's "Believe".

VERY noticable in most Robbie Williams ballads where he needs to hold long notes.

Je4nne....are you worried about a sinister underground cabal of priapically challenged men coming to silence you for mocking their ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION? They way you typed it reminded me of the habit of typing Tom Cruise's faith as Sc*ent*logy (for fear of being googled by tenacious church-members with a grudge).

Don't know your tastes, Sundar, but if you like 70s soul music at all, go get Songs In the Key Of Life. It's a mind-blower.

The exact same thing happened with that Keane single (dunno what it's called, goes "Oh sympathy, where have you gone? etc etc blah).
When was "Harder To Breathe" released? It feels like it's been around for ever.

Blender: Why should we leave our air-conditioned mansions and come see your band open for John Mayer this summer?
Adam Levine: Because you'll get the most passionate, sincere, blistering, sweaty, sexual show you've ever seen in your life. We never want to appear aloof onstage - otherwise, it's not worth the price of the ticket.
Blender: Have you ever gotten lucky on the beach?
Adam Levine: No. I consider myself a really sexual person, but I like a bed, man. There's no sexier place to be than a sea of sheets, space to do whatever we want and no sand going up our asses. Give me space, give me wine, and give me Al Green. No distractions from the point to have amazing, beautiful, nasty sex.
Blender: Do you put ice cubes down your pants to cool off, or is that just us?
Adam Levine: That's just you. I don't ever want it to cool off down there. I'll lose my fire.
He also refers to buying a 19-pound bag of pot in Amsterdam and admits that his biggest fear is being attacked by a shark.
