Maroon 5 Concert (Singapore)

It is probably the first time I attended a “rock” concert, and my ears were deafened after the concert. Nevertheless I was quite impressed with Maroon 5. I never had doubts about their musicality and Adam Levine cruised through every song as though it was effortless. My only complaint that the rock act performed for only about 1 hour, which, if one is the calculative sort, e.g. me, did not really justify the $125 ticket that was paid. This would probably be a norm in the States I guess, but in Asia, artistes usually have concerts that lasts at least 2 hours. Maybe they didn’t have enough songs to sing longer (I mean they only released 2 albums till date)? Also, the stage design was rather simple.

Anyway, I really like the song “Won’t Go Home Without You”, which I think was a crowd favourite as well. Since I am not really a Maroon 5 fan (was there to accompany my sister), it didn’t help that I did not know the lyrics to their songs, maybe except the choruses. Oh yes, another complaint: there wasn’t much interaction with the audience, and the songs kept on coming one after another.

But all in all, they showed why they really deserved their Grammy Awards through their performance.

P.S. Didn’t take any pictures at the concert…
