Maroon 5 criticized for Super Bowl performance seen as ‘boring’ and ‘safe’

Will Adam Levine wear a leather jacket? Then came hometown favorites Sleepy Brown and Big Boi (André 3000 is too busy starring in Claire Denis films), who performed the Outkast classic The Way You Move, clad in fabulous furs, and was gone in a flash.

Not unlike the Academy's inability to secure a viable host for the Oscars, the NFL's quest to nail down a halftime performer proved a surprisingly controversial affair. If you remember, he got blacklisted and hasn't played in the league since hekneeled during the US National Anthem in 2016 as a sign of protest against police brutality and racial inequality.

"I can not divulge the details on that level 'cause that will be spoiling it - we don't want to do that - but Big Boi is my dude", he said.

"No one thought about it more than I did. We expected it. We'd like to move on from it and speak through the music", he said, adding that he consulted others before making the decision to perform.

The band, led by Adam Levine, will not be receiving a big paycheck for their Super Bowl halftime show performance, though. That's how it felt when Travis Scott showed up and Maroon 5 seemed to slip out of sight for a while, before Levine reappeared to bop up and down a little beside him and strum two or three chords on his guitar.

Samsung Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ smartphones get a price cut in India
Some of the possible names of the smartphone include - Mate Flex, Mate Flexi , Mate Fold and Mate F. As seen on Tom's Guide , the new Samsung Foldable trailer has just come out earlier than expected.

Maroon 5 teased the SpongeBob appearance in a January 13 tweet that documented some of their Super Bowl prep. Travis' partner Kylie Jenner shared footage of their one-year-old daughter Stormi giggling as she watched her dad's performance on a TV and wrote "PRICELESS" in the caption.

If you found yourself questioning why SpongeBob Squarepants made an appearance during Maroon 5's performance, they you're not alone.

When Levine puts a shirt back on, it should read, "I Survived Super Bowl LIII". I personally told my reps I wouldn't do a Super Bowl commercial this year.

Next up was 50 percent of Atlanta's own OutKast, when Big Boi rolled in (in a Cadillac no less!) for his own brief stint on the microphone. "I got to sacrifice a lot of money to perform".
