  • I think today is the day I may have failed the "Be Nice" exercise where I am given a video/song to react to and I can only say nice things about it, constructive or encouraging. Today I was told to react to Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger. I tried. I really did. If you've nothing nice to say, best not to say anything at all. Right? If I'm wrong, please tell me in the comments.

      The point was that he doesn't move like Jagger and the guest dancers do. I always thought he (Jagger) looked pissed or drugged up possibly both, like when Jimmy Page staggers across the stage. I had a friend who danced like Jagger and everybody laughed at him not with him, it looked ridiculous. By the way I can't dance but if I had to look like that I'm glad I can't.

    Moves Like Jagger can be used as a case study for the dumbing down of radio programming that started picking up steam in the 2010s.

    So, I worked backstage for Maroon 5 a few years back. and I remember standing backstage and having trouble identifying the song. This was because the main thing I heard was the guitar amp, pointed backwards at the far back of the stage. And it sounded nothing like the guitars heard in the studio version of this song. I strongly suspect the guitarist was playing mainly for himself, and that the audience heard nothing of it.

It's either a magic audio device or he's given himself away as an auto tuned lip syncher and doesn't care that you know this.

    This song has 4 writers credited and it sounds like this. Between the two writers who weren't in the band they have multiple Grammys. Pop from the 70s and 80s was actually interesting, today all you need is the popular samples being over-used and you can replicate half of the songs on top-40 radio.
    I don't think this was about subverting the audiences expectations for Levine to dance like Jagger, I think it was a really lame attempt at forcing a comparison between Maroon 5 and the Stones and these songs written like this don't deserve that comparison in the slightest. Remember when Britney and Madonna did that video where they seem like they're about to bang? I think this is Adam Levine's version of that with Jagger. And if you watch Sympathy for the Devil, Levine looks like he's doing a lame impression of Jagger on stage vibing to the bongo player.
