Days before arriving in Argentina to present on March 12 at the Argentine Polo Field, Maroon 5 generated controversy in his passage through Viña del Mar. The renowned American band received harsh criticism for their attitudes, including singing with reluctance and addressing Quickly to the hotel after finishing your show.
In addition, they transcended videos in which the singer Adam Levine is heard insulting both the traditional festival and the trans-Andean city.
“This was not a recital. It was a shitty television show, ”the Californian is heard saying when he goes out next to the band on the stage of the amphitheater of the Quinta Vergara, home of the popular Chilean event, considered the greatest Latin music in the world and broadcast on television in various countries
In a second video, recorded shortly after the first and with the same poor quality, which does not distinguish the interlocutors altogether, the local press also ensures that the 40-year-old vocalist called Viña del Mar "damn city" and said " morons " when addressing the dressing rooms.
The recital was very questioned in the social networks for the delay with which it began but above all for the coldness with which the group and the reluctance of the vocalist appeared, for not adapting to the festival format and singing everything often and not doing Bises or wanting to receive the emblematic seagull , symbol of the event.
Before the concert began, the presenters, María Luisa Godoy and Martín Cárcamo had already warned that the Americans would do the show without interruptions and that the Seagulls would be delivered to them behind the scenes. Seconds after finishing their presentation, the band members boarded trucks and headed swiftly to the hotel where they are staying.
This Thursday, the # adamlevine label was the first trend on Twitter in Chile, with harsh criticism from social network users of their attitude, but also with 'memes' and jokes for their commented recital.
