AJR Sings Miley Cyrus, MGMT, and "Birthday Party" in a Game of Song Association | ELLE

#AJR is here for #SongAssociation, and they plan to go out with a #Bang! The Pop trio, comprised of brothers Adam, Jack, and Ryan, got their start busking on the streets of New York City, where they caught the attention of various labels thanks to a viral tweet. No longer in the streets, the multi-talented brothers have moved their setup to their NYC living room, where they continue to generate the uptempo, Billboard-topping hits that we love them for. Tune in on this episode as they sing The Supremes, MGMT, and more in an attempt to beat the buzzer. For more ELLE: • MONSTA X is Back for R...

He whispered it too because he didn’t wanna sing it 😂😂

Jack sounds really similar to the original singer, Nate Ruess, that’s what I’m guessing.
