'Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine has ditched tennis babe Maria Sharapova because she is a "terrible lover" who refused to move or moan during sex, WENN reports. Levine told Russian magazine Exile "She wouldn't make any noise during sex. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I really thought, like a lot of guys, that she'd be the loud screaming type. But instead, she just lay there like a dead frog. She even got angry if I started to moan, said it 'ruined her concentration.' It was so disillusioning that I went on Paxil (an antidepressant) for a month afterwards. Really, it was much more of a shock than when I found out there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny." '

I find that story rather implausible.

i assumed it was from 'the onion' or something. but no.

fwiw both Levine and Sharapova appear to be denying that he ever said those quotes.

Yeah, he's a class act.
Although, color my face red. I started this thread in 2004 -- and holy crow, look at the time, it's late 2007 and we're still talking about them.

I'm not in the habit of defending Adam Levine but I think someone's been had re: this quote

The videos on the making of "Makes Me Wonder" are interesting.

Actually, come to think of it, "She Will Be Loved" is the only Maroon 5 single I've disliked. They're not half-bad.

Stop it! When people talk like we're in the next year and summer hasn't even ended it's depressing. Many months to go, my friend.
I've always said that Maroon 5 is like a crappy, crappy Hall and Oates for the current generation.
― Cunga, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
They fucking WISH they were as good as Hall & Oates.

I love their last two singles.
― Tim F, Friday, 14 September 2007 00:58 (sixteen years ago) link
The new single sucks. If they'd released "Kiwi," they'd have another Number One. What a poet -- if Adam Levine were my boyfriend I'd want him to compare me to a furry fruit with gelatinous juice.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 14 September 2007 01:01 (sixteen years ago) link
You don't mean "Wake Up Call" do you Alfred? That's the current single in Australia. So good to hear on the radio - I love a big fat obvious punch line.

Their photograph on the Rolling Stone of about a month ago could quite possibly be the most hateful, irritating photo to ever grace that periodical's cover in DECADES.

i could totally see adam levine giving an enthusiastic description of some '80s pop nugget before slamming a wire hanger into some poor fan's vagina.
"Wake Up Call" hasn't really clicked for me, but random line deliveries from "Makes Me Wonder" stick in my head all the time. Usually the way he says "want to dive into you." Dude's got the most amazing/disturbing stare in music today.

I hate "Wake Up Call."

The only feasible number one single off IWBSBL apart from of course Makes me Wonder is the third single "Won't go Home Without You." Pretty much every song on the album is top ten material though.

Not Truman either
Why do gay people love Maroon 5 singer?
― pft, Saturday, 15 September 2007 09:24 (sixteen years ago) link
because no one in the history of pop culture has ever overcompensated more.

possibly in the history of time itself
We gay people keep wishing he pens a song worthy of his looks and douchebaggery. He's almost there.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 15 September 2007 13:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Actually I think part of it is that gay men have this weird mythology thing going for straight guys who appear to get a lot of sex. There are a lot of possible explanations for this.
Plus there's his occasional tendency to look like Jack from Lost:

Well, Levine projects promiscuity.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 15 September 2007 13:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah totally - much more than actual hotness oddly.
― Tim F, Saturday, 15 September 2007 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link
He's clever enough to sense this and start writing "pervy" songs like "Wake Up Call" and "Kiwi," both of which represent what his fans want him to be. I see him losing interest in future "She Will Be Loved"s.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 15 September 2007 13:58 (sixteen years ago) link
I see him losing interest in female pronouns too.
― da croupier, Saturday, 15 September 2007 14:22 (sixteen years ago) link
feminine pronouns, rather.

there is no message to their music or videos beyond "women can't stop fucking Adam Levine."
― da croupier, Saturday, 15 September 2007 19:54 (sixteen years ago) link
i suppose these visuals and lyrics are picked up on their "gaydar."
― da croupier, Saturday, 15 September 2007 19:56 (sixteen years ago) link
That's such a classic message in pop music though. Remember Joe Jackson's 1980 single "Is She Really Going To Engage In Sexual Intercourse With That Chump From Maroon 5?"

I'd never heard this band before today, when their song "I won't go home without you" came on the radio in a shoe store. It sounded almost exactly like the Smoking Popes to my ears. Is this deliberate?
