Controversy
Uncensored (top) and censored (bottom) music video for "This Love"
The music video for "This Love" featured lead singer Adam Levine and his then-girlfriend, model Kelly McKee, in extended sex scenes. The video used creative camera angles to show as much as possible without actually revealing any of the couple's genitalia, thereby avoiding possible FCC action.[6] A version of the video where a stream of computer-generated flowers cover up more was created for more conservative markets.[6] When asked about his feelings on this, Levine commented, "That was ridiculous."[8] Bass player Madden said that it was "an absurd over-reaction."[9]
