"sang differently" in Japanese


Japanese is the only language that I know in which "different" is not an
adjective but a verb (違う). I know some young Japanese are using 違く as the
adverb, as if 違い were an adjective, but I am not sure if that is grammatically
accepted one or not, and I would like to avoid it.

So, I wanted to say "sang differently" in Japanese, and what I could think of
was "違って歌った", but is it correct? I know there is an expression like "違って見えた"
(looked differently), but in that case, it could be interpreted as
"違っているように見えた", and I cannot explain exactly but that seems different from the
verb sang.

In short, is "違って歌った" correct? If not, what is the correct way to modify the
verb 歌う with a word for "differently"? Or do I have to work around it like
"違う方法で歌った"?




I would say [違]{ちが}う[歌]{うた}い[方]{かた}をした.

違うふうに歌った would also make sense.

違って歌った doesn't make much sense.
