People magazine named Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine the "Sexiest Man Alive" of 2013, dubbing him "cool, confident, seductive."
The Internet begged to differ.
The news broke Tuesday night on NBC's The Voice — where Levine serves as a celebrity coach — by host Carson Daly.

The singer reaction by saying, "I feel sexy." The Internet had a decidedly different reaction. The response was a blend of witty and cruel tweets from fans, other celebs and even brands about which stars were robbed of the title and how Levine is more "sexist" and "cocky" than sexy.
I'll be on the @TODAYshow tomorrow morn. I'm not @PeopleMag’s Sexiest Man Alive, but i have sat next to him and learned a lot.
I wonder if Adam Levine used a pay phone to let his fam know he won sexiest man of the year
“@peoplemag: Here he is, your Sexiest Man Alive — ADAM LEVINE! http://t.co/UfnvRlT8nK #SexiestManAlive” you spelled Zach Braff wrong.
Am I the only chick who thinks Adam Levine is gross? He's a mix of too much of a pretty boy, but looking like he smells.
*sees Adam Levine was named People's sexiest man of 2013* The internet was not consulted on this.
Personally, I think Adam Levine is amusing, so I can roll with it. But my own personal Sexiest Man Alive, of course, is Stephen Colbert. - J
Adam Levine is just lucky that Rob Ford got caught smoking crack last week, that's all I have to say.
Well, it's official. I just made my phone call to Adam Levine, conceding defeat.
ADAM LEVINE IS THE WORST CHOICE FOR BATMAN WHAT THE FUCK #WTF #WHY
My favorite reaction to @peoplemag picking Adam Levine was when @Jezebel wrote that they should rename it simply, "Man, Alive." -H
@yongchavezLA I agree. Should've been Hiddleston this year. Next year maybe? @twhiddleston #SexiestManAlive
@peoplemag Sorry ... but #BenedictCumberbatch is the #SexiestManAlive in my humble opinion. Congrats to Adam anyway. #maybenextyear
I don’t want to live in a world where Adam Levine is considered the Sexiest Man Alive
People Magazine must be so embarrassed they spelled "smarmiest" wrong on that Adam Levine cover.
With a shirt this bright, @PeopleMag's #SexiestManAlive might just want to #KeepItOn https://t.co/9zUUEXJVl8
Hot and irresistibly soft to the touch #KeepItOn @PeopleMag #SexiestManAlive https://t.co/TVuHLUAuxw
Adam Levine isn't even the Sexiest Man in Maroon 5... (disclaimer: I don't actually know who's in Maroon 5)
I think they misspelled Adam Levine's newest award. They meant Sexist Man Alive not Sexiest.
If Adam Levine is the Sexiest Man Alive, does sexy mean something different these days?
From Channing Tatum to Adam Levine? DOWN-grade. Booooo....http://t.co/WJiwxTHHFE
I'm sorry, but Adam Levine DOES NOT have moves like Jagger!!!
Levine joins the ranks of Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt and George Clooney for People's honor. Actor Idris Elba scored runner-up on this year's list, singer Luke Bryan came in third, Jimmy Fallon placed fourth and Bruno Mars rounded out the top five.
Internet, if it makes you feel better, at least Levine likes puppies.
