Maroon 5: Misery

This is apparently a slowed down version of the original. I don't think a change of tempo would especially change my judgment on this one. The intro and first verse sound reasonably promising but the song is let down by a 'miserably' weak, bland chorus and the usual cliched vocal/vocoder effects so depressingly ubiquitous in contemporary music production.
This song received multiple grammy awards proving yet again that such awards are obviously not based on merit of any kind. One wonders how much money changed hands.
The band look like a bizarre mix of individuals. The two blond-haired hippy-types were presumably included to broaden the band's market appeal. Maroon 5, Jackson 5? Don't think so.
