This just showed the Girls Like You is boring even by the standards of pop Maroon 5. It's good that they did some Songs About Jane era stuff but Harder To Breathe was rather poorly performed. Adam Levine looked bored or lost half the time.

I expected a flat halftime show from them... and they delivered one. I don't think it was a disaster or a s**t-show by any means, but it was run-of-the-mill and very typical M5. I was checking my watch and fast-forwarding.
Gladys Knight though. Singers everywhere need to take some f**king notes. That woman has been singing for going on 70 years and she still sounds fantastic. How the hell is her voice still so well-preserved? Kinda blows my mind.

Honestly what bothers me most is Adam kept dodging talking about the issue of them performing and told us to wait until the performance. I was expecting some type of statement. What exactly were we supposed to wait for?

It felt like a performance that belonged on the voice. JLo, Pink, Shakira or even Christina Aguilera would have been better than the borefest we got.

I just don't see how you can be the frontman for one the worlds biggest bands for 15 years and have that little stage presence. Watch Springsteen's 2009 halftime show for comparison. He dominates the whole stadium. m.youtube.com/watch?v=R06FMoT-hkk

Final comment on this, and then I’ll shut up: Levine was just the biggest detractor from all this. The sad part about this was, if this performance was say, back in 2014, I bet he and his band would’ve done good. Heck, at least it was a LITTLE nice hearing SWBL again. But the problem is, just like how I see his Red Pill Blues Music, Levine just doesn’t sound like he cares at all. He phones it in so much, that it sounds beyond lazy. Look, I really don’t want to trash this band, since they had it back then. They really did.

Adam has the stage presence of a couch.
An actual couch would have been more interesting to watch. And it would be useful too.
Some of us want to sit on Adam but that's just not me. Shirt on or off.

THE LIBRARY IS OPEN!
Who in the fucking fuck did Adam and the other M5 members have to blow to get that performance slot? Seriously. I WANT NAMES NOW. Who in their right mind allowed this to happen? Why was this allowed? It didn't take a rocket scientist to tell us that the BEP one was going to be horrible. We knew it would be and it was. And so was this. No. This was worse. At least that had moments of cringe we could laugh about later. This was just cringe for 13 minutes.
How can Adam be on The Voice giving tips on how to sing better or properly when he can barely do it himself on a live stage even with the keys transposed? This was just so horrible. Couldn't he pre-record the vocals and lip sync?
That "dancing" was beyond tragic. I have seen pool noodles with more rhythm. If you're going try to be sexy when you dance, you need to bring it. Don't just move your pelvis around like you're only half-heartedly doing it. Don't go into the cage at a strip club if you aren't going to make it rain!
That random shirtless moment at the end was totally unnecessary not sexy or needed. I love a hot man with no self esteem shamelessly removing their clothes for no reason just as much as the next person but this is not the time nor the place. The tease and the reveal was not hot at all. Watch Magic Mike and get your #2 pencils and Mead notebooks ready.
How could that choir seriously consider associating themselves with them? They must have been so desperate for the attention and recognition.
I feel really bad for Travis Scott and Big Boi/Sleepy Brown getting roped into this also. I am not a fan of Travis but I guess the kids are really into him and he's bigger than Maroon 5 is at the moment. He doesn't need this kind of exposure.
THE LIBRARY IS CLOSED!

I would have to agree that the performance was pretty bad, probably worse then JT last year in fact.
p!nk or Shakira for next year please!
Katy Perry and Beyonce still have the best halftime performances! (Not that, they were in jeopardy this year).

I'm a casual M5 fan but good to see them dragged all over social media.
The guest made zero sense (thank God bigger names who have actually collaborated with M5 like Cardi, Rih and Kendrick stayed away).
That's two bad ones in a row NFL. Pursue Rih again next year or give it to JLo. The woman might not be a vocalist but at least she entertains.

"After ‘Sugar’, Levine takes off his vest (the whole performance has been like a whole, slow, top-half-only striptease that nobody asked for) to leave him shirtless for set closer ‘Moves Like Jagger’. This is perhaps the most awkward moment of the whole thing – the topless frontman lightly thrusting his way through the track with nowhere near enough swagger to pull it off, as the unfathomably enthusiastic crowd below reach their hands towards him. Unlike Janet Jackson, whose infamous “nipplegate” incident saw her turned into a pariah, he will likely not face any consequences for this move, despite it being as welcome as a kick to the face. It’s a relief when Maroon 5 eventually leave the stage, not least in case Levine starts removing any more clothes." www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/super-bowl-halftime-maroon-5-2442640?fbclid=IwAR0aA7xQl-8DOYQRUZNXgItmBBGzLxWUfOSAAM3qKjHNcMVMnC3x1W6eEhkThe set list btw (from Wikipedia): "Harder to Breathe", performed by Maroon 5 "This Love", performed by Maroon 5 Trumpet fanfare, featuring the cast of SpongeBob SquarePants from the episode "Band Geeks" "Sicko Mode", performed by Travis Scott "Girls Like You", performed by Maroon 5 and choir "She Will Be Loved", performed by Maroon 5 "Kryptonite (I'm on It)", performed by Big Boi "The Way You Move", performed by Big Boi "Sugar", performed by Maroon 5 "Moves like Jagger", performed by Maroon 5

As someone who is bisexual (I found this out just recently, honestly), I see no sex appeal in Adam Levine. Taking off his shirt makes it worse.

A borefest of a Super Bowl Halftime show and Adam Levine looked out of place singing with Travis Scott and Big Boi.The only people that I know that enjoyed were the people that I watched the Super Bowl with and I consider them non-music fans.Anyways ,back to my thoughts on the show. Adam singing "Moves Like Jagger" without Christina Aguilera was a boring,He turned a nice song into a lifeless performance. What's the point of a Super Bowl halftime show if you can't bring in the guests that made your songs hits,No wonder they stuck to the old material.
For Next Year Bring the Imagine Dragons and heck even J.Lo would be better than this.

This was tonight? I literally saw no promo or anyone talking about it. I only found out because Marvel premiered a new promo for Endgame.
I just watched and.... damn. This has to be the worst Halftime Show of this century. I actually like Maroon 5 but this is what their shows are like? The vocals are below decent imo, the songs are okay but underperformed and the guests just ain't it.
Thank God my queer heart considers him one of the most attractive white people ever and he took off his shirt to give me a small reward for making it through those 12 first minutes.

I don't understand why Travis Scott was there tbh if all he did was getting censored. Big Boi at least has the Atlanta connection.

I don't agree with Madonna and Bruno Mars placement here. Madonna is obviously a legend and world class performer, but her show was not it. Totally disagree, and so do the critics. I’ve seen a lot of lists where Madonna is in the Top 5 overall of all time. What are you smoking ? Obviously a biased Madonna Stan... Pukes... Bruno was soooo entertaining ...

I mean, the biggest problem about it is that it's really boring. At least Coldplay have the decency to bring guests that actually liven the whole thing up. I won't even mind if Adam lipped the whole thing as long as the visuals are entertaining like with Katy. But the guests are okay at best, Adam phoned it in with his live vocals, and the stage isn't interesting at all.
Why didn't we get Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson? Hell, after the disaster that is JT and this year's borefest, even Jennifer Lopez will be preferable since she at least know how to put on a show.

I know from the first time they announced Adam Levine as the Halftime headliners that it's gonna suck but I don't expect it to be this bad. Yikes. Coldplay and Bruno Mars each were giving one hell of a show, so this is not a bias towards the big female divas.
