Has anyone read about Maroon 5 singer and The Voice mentor, Adam Levine's recent war of words with the Fox News Channel via Twitter? Without taking sides, this guy is a moron! It's no secret that Fox News is a channel that favors the Conservative side of politics, but when a news channel, no matter what political views they share, plays music from your band, you would tend to be a bit more humble than the way Levine acted.
Adam Levine, who's long been a supporter for gay rights because he has a gay brother or might even be gay himself, recently tweeted while watching FOX News after hearing one of his band, Maroon 5′s songs on the news network: “Dear Fox News, don’t play our music on your evil fucking channel ever again. Thank you.” Seriously? First of all, publicity is publicity, right? And wouldn't he be getting paid for Fox using his song anyway? What an ungrateful prick this guy is? As an unsigned musician and songwriter, I would kill to have my song played on any station or TV channel, for that matter, I wouldn't be crying about their political views.
Anyway, Fox News wasted no time in responding to the tweet. Andy Levy, host of Red Eye, a late night FOX News program, tweeted back to Levine: “Dear @AdamLevine, don’t make crappy fucking music ever again. Thank you!" Red Eye co-host, Greg Gutfeld tweeted: “Dear Adam, That’s not music!” I think that the only fault that Fox News had in this whole ordeal was that they thought Maroon 5's music was actually good enough to actually play on their channel. For anyone who's ever listened to Maroon 5, you know that their music absolutely sucks, and Levine sings like a little girl! In fact, when they first came out, I thought that Maroon 5's singer was a girl until I found out his name was Adam. His falsetto-type of singing is just so unappealing and it's no wonder he's a huge supporter for gay rights, not that I don't support it, but it's because the majority of his fan base is probably gay!
Now, I'm not bashing Maroon 5 because I'm taking a conservative stance on this. I am attacking Levine's ungrateful nature as a musician. As a musician, you need as many outlets as possible to showcase your music, you shouldn't be attacking any one of them! Especially because it's channels like Fox News who use your songs in their segments that got your music into people's ears and brought you the fame that you're enjoying today! Adam Levine, you should really think before you tweet and attack the media because if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't even have your job on TV shows like The Voice, which by the way sucks too, because no one would even know who the hell you are!
This wasn't even Levine's first attack of a TV network, which makes this ordeal even worse! Back in August, this idiot also had the nerve to tweet his feelings about MTV and their 2011 Video Music Awards ceremony, where he posted, “The VMA’s. One day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music! I’m drawing a line in the sand. Fuck you, VMA’s!” Um, hey, Adam! If it wasn't for MTV, you wouldn't even have a career right now, you imbecile! I do agree that MTV is not the music channel that it used to be, but their TV programs do use a lot of music from bands like a Maroon 5 as their soundtrack! People like Adam Levine don't deserve the fame that he's enjoyed!
Don't worry, Adam Levine, I was never a fan of your band, and after this, I'll never support your horrible band! Your music sucks, and the only thing that I can do is urge people not to support you, this way maybe when your not making millions from naive fans, maybe you'll appreciate your fame a little bit more. Your fame was not built on political views! It was built on media outlets giving you the opportunity to be heard, and now your biting the hand that feeds you! I'm all about freedom of speech and freedom of having your own opinion, but don't use it against people who got you where you are today! You should think about changing your band's name to 5 Morons because that's what you are!
