Last week I was able to attend the Maroon 5 concert in Toronto. For those you don’t know they are also known as Adam Levine. I was looking forward to it for a couple of reasons. Mainly because I was able to catch up with some old friends before the show and also to see what all the hype with Adam..I mean Maroon 5 was about.

They have a ton of pop hits, ones that I know all the words to, yet I don’t have own a single song on my iTunes or can even remember watching a single video. Why is that?

The show started right on time and with the exception of a brief power outage went just as planned. Let me just say this. Maroon 5 likes smoke machines, like Beyonce likes wind machines. Fog was everywhere, maybe to keep all eyes focused on Adam. All the hits were sung, Adam had all the women and one guy with a hair bun beside me screaming. It was a typical pop show. Nothing too exciting, nothing too bad. Overall entertaining, but not life changing.

Adam spoke, Adam tried to dance and Adam played a green guitar. Its what Adam didn’t do that has bugged me since I left the show. He never introduced the band! Not even a mention, not even a nod. NOTHING.  The Rolling Stones for god sakes introduces the band. Adam Levine doesn’t seem to have the time, or maybe he doesn’t know the names?

Does anyone have any clue who is in Maroon 5? Did anyone even know there is a black guy in the band? That there were 4 other people in the band? No, and it seems like Adam didn’t remember either. I am pretty sure that the next time Maroon 5 comes to Toronto, it will be called Adam Levine.
