Maroon 5 - Beautiful Mistakes feat. Megan Thee Stallion

[spiritboy]

New era is upon us.

[ludichris]

I quite liked the Cardi B feature from the last era so we'll see about this.

[Ska8er]

Well at least Maroon 5 always have these artists on the original versions of songs, not adding them on as an afterthought later.

Except for Cardi B and that was only done to launch the deluxe version of the album so obviously they needed something new. But every other track they released with a feature has been on it from the very start.

Nicki was added on Sugar
A Boogie wit da Hoodie was added on Wait
Popcaan was added on Nobody's Love

Anyway, they used to be great but they've completely lost their identity. I'm no hater, just disappointed.

I feel like this is a bit random... We will see

Their insistance on adding a popular R&B/Rap feature on every single is getting a bit pathetic.

Kendrick, Future, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, SZA, Cardi, Popcaan and now Megan. Memories is their only solo single in half a decade.

One of the worst bands, and they had quite successful career over the past 17 years. They still manage somehow to have hits...

i liked them w their debut, and everything else since then was bad or forgetable. IMO

[BehindBreakaway]

I like a lot of M5 songs and I feel like they always get a lot of underserved hate if I'm honest.

[Ruthymon]

Adam, just go solo already, dammit!!

The rappers are as pathetic as them, if not worse. They can always say NO to a Maroon 5 collaboration.

There's already a thread for this, and i'm updating it.

They also had Wait and Nobodys Love. I mean this band have been in the game for almost 20 years. If they need a rap feature these days to get hits who cares. A lot of artists 20 years in the game are in the exact same boat.

Can I ask exactly why people do hate them so much?

I think it's because they only produce basic throwaway hits that are trend chasing. No quality or originality plus they are awful live and delivered one of the worst half time shows.

Still, credit where it's due. They have an incredibly long career and know how to get a hit every era. GP always has a soft spot for them. I guess would they've stayed with the quality and direction that was their debut they wouldn't have made it through the changes of the industry.

[basticasas]

Lord if both those are criteria used to hate people a lot of pop girls should be despised.

I liked Nobody Love a lot.

Because their lives are so empty and meaningless, hating a Pop band gives them some kind of satisfaction i guess.

[spiritboy]

Can you merge the threads please? cheapthrills

It is also when a band or artist reaches a certain level of success the hate starts. It is a well worn path at this stage.

This.

And finally I agree with InFamous. Loads of artists alter their sounds to move with the times. It's nothing new.
