Maroon 5 were trending pretty hard last night as they played the Super Bowl halftime show...
but not in a good way.
The internet was baring its savage teeth once again as it rounded up to trash the band.
Was it a sweet sweet victory.
No it was not.
Hello and welcome back to IO!
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and It has been a little while, hasn't it!
How are you doing?
I hope you are feeling potatolicious and ready for todays tasty news.
Before we get into this video I want to ask you guys if you watched the halftime show
and what you thought of it ? What emoji would sum it up for you.
I have to admit I struggle a little with American Football but I watched it for the experience...
The Patriots were, as always, on fire.

OKAY....
So I think that a lot of people tune into the Super Bowl just so they can watch the
halftime show.
In recent years I have been super impressed by Beyonce's absolute banger of a show .... And
I think Katy Perry did a great job and made it really visually entertaining.
Coldplay also got the crowd riled up... but Maroon Five....
Meh.
Unfortunately for the band, fronted by the ever beautiful Adam Levine, they were already
fighting an uphill battle when 40,000 people petitioned for them to pull out and they further
riled the public by not conducting a press conference.
The band and half time show organizers, Pepsi, said that they would let the performance speak
for itself.
People were also pretty pumped that it seemed likely the petition signed by millions to
air a Spongebob song to honour the late creator was going to be represented.
So... the time came...
Maroon 5 took the stage....what approach were they going to take?
Were they gonna give it some Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson sass-troversy?
Were they going to go GAGA about it?
Were they going to get colourful like Coldplay or ride a giant golden lion?
Nope.
They basically played it like your usual stadium gig.
Good... but safe... or so the kinder critics are saying... the less kind?
URM.....

and started a band.

Heidi N Moore said: Adam Levine makes me mad because he exemplifies the victory of shallow
basic blandness over complicated interesting talent and he thinks his abs mitigate that,
but in fact his abs prove the point of why he is so basic and unbearable.
Adam Levine is the spiritual leads of all empty well-built douchebags.
Meanwhile, The New York Yorker Magazine wrote an article called The Artless Spectacle of
Maroon 5 at the Super Bowl.
Comedy account News Thump Wrote: News!
Maroon 5 sentenced to death.
To add insult to injury, the Sweet Victory spongebob was hoping for turned out to be
about 5 seconds long and people were pissed!
Prior to the performance, 39 year old Levine said: I think that when you look back on every
single Super Bowl halftime show... people just can't... it's this, like, insatiable
urge to hate a little bit, I'm not in the right profession if I can't handle a little
bit of controversy.
Would we call this A LITTLE bit?
Or would we call this... a lot...
So... not a sweet victory for Maroon 5 and the Pepsi Half Time show if the internet's
reaction is anything to go by.
What did you guys think?
Did you watch it?
Is the halftime show more important than the sports?
Okay, before I go I am going to read some comments from one of Charlottes most recent
videos about the Amelia Earhart plane debris...
This is what you had to say.
