Adam Levine likened to an 'awkward stripper' during Super Bowl performance
Many American Football fans gathered in Atlanta on Sunday for the Super Bowl.
Whilst some may not be avid sports fans, many will have tuned in to watch the Super Bowl Halftime Show to see what amazing moves were on offer from this year’s act.
It was Maroon 5 who commanded the halftime stage this year, along with appearances from Travis Scott and rapper Big Boi.
I got them mooooves…
Great show, @maroon5! 🎤👏 #SBLIII pic.twitter.com/sdAOPuvhr2

However, a couple moments of the performance appeared to confuse some fans on social media, with many likening Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine to an “awkward stripper”.

Others just couldn’t deal with his apparent “pelvic thrusting”.

While the band performed many of their hit songs including ‘She Will Be Loved’, ‘Moves like Jagger’, ‘Sugar’ and more, some on Twitter were left disappointed by the show branding it one of the “worst ever”.
