..Does Adam Levine Hate America or Just Country Music?

.Does Adam Levine Hate America or …
....Last night on NBC, Adam Levine—the tattooed, six-packed bro of Maroon 5 turned "coach" on The Voice—faced off with either all of the nation or at least the vast swath of it that loves country music. Either way you read it, Levine lost a war with a hot mic when, disappointed with the results of The Voice's top six voting, he muttered "I hate this country" live on national television.

In case you haven't exactly been following The Voice this season—we haven't, though we've been fans of country singer Amber Carrington since we heard this rendition of "Angel"—Carrington was the last of Team Adam to advance. She was "saved by America," as host Carson Daly put it—as in, presumably, the country-loving American public—while Levine's other protegées, Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, were sent home.

Levine, trying to fend off immediate vitriol and probably save his NBC contract, attempted to defend himself by posting the definitions to "joke," "humorless," "lighthearted," and "misunderstand" on his Twitter account. But, naturally, the comment brought out the outrage. For example, one "Chuck Justice" remarked on Twitter: "Is anyone really surprised that @adamlevine said "I hate this country" on TV? He does. He's a communist. Do us a favor & leave." (Mashable has more outraged tweets.)

Some did come to Levine's defense, including those speculating that he really meant to say that he hates "country music"—not the entire country. As Lydnsey Parker of Yahoo! writes, the show is now heavily stacked with country musicians.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

Who is Adam Levine and why should we care?

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

He is a liberal communist rock song writer and he hates America. :P

It's in the opening sentance of the article. FYI Maroon 5 is a band of some sort I'm sure I've heard them before I think they're some sort of alt pop group I don't really care enough to research it.


Interestingly enough this meaningless hubub is the type of thing that would make me exclaim in bewildered exasperation:

"I hate this country"
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

If you have spent any time in car with a tween in the last 10 years you have heard Maroon 5, which appears in the Top 40 with annoying frequency. A year or two ago you couldn't get away from "Moves Like Jagger." Last year it was "One More Night" and "Pay Phone" (particularly ironic since I don't think anyone under 18 has ever even seen a pay phone much less ever tried to use one).
GAH!

At some point in the last 10 years I have been in a car with my kids. But the radio goes on what I want to listen too. They bring those i-things and put the buds in their ears. and they are not allowed to sing along

I'm more interested in how "The Hobbit" will eat "my" box office...
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is

Now Gob you know you shouldn’t hate. Why don’t you give country a chance. Invite her over for tea and biscuits or you could just knock her up. You may find that you like her; now I am not saying that you would leave your wife over country but you might have a nice little side affair. And if sneaking round and listening to country behind her back makes you feel guilty invite her to join in; who knows you guys might take up square dancing or rodeo together. :)

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
