Maroon 5

Hello. My name is Donna, and I'm a Maroon 5 fan. (Audience answers, "Hello, Donna.") I've been ashamed to admit it in the past, but today I am coming out. I have been a Maroon 5 fan since "Harder to Breathe" in 2003. Then came "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved" in 2004, and "Sunday Morning" in 2005, and I was hooked. Since then, I can't seem to get enough of them. Yes, I know they're a teeny-bopper bubble-gum pop uptown boy band, but I LOVE them! Those of you who know me well are probably shocked by this. After all, my musical taste usually runs much more complex than this. But I just can't help it. No matter how bad my mood is, Adam Levine's whiny, nasaly, auto-tuned voice parts the dark clouds for me like Moses parted the Red Sea. You could put me in a straightjacket, with shackles on my feet, and I would break out of them to boogie to "Moves Like Jagger". That song came on Pandora at 7:55 this morning, and I just couldn't help but sing and dance all over the house, despite the face that my coffee hadn't kicked in. It set the tone for me whole day. I can't even tell you what it is...infectious rhythms, uncomplicated lyrics, simple chord progressions, whatever. I have loved every single Maroon 5 song I have ever heard...even their cover of "The Way You Look Tonight". It's kinda weird, actually. So weird thing about me #1,536 is that I am thankful for Maroon 5. So there. I feel better now.
