Pop rock band Maroon 5 played what was their 2nd and possibly, last concert on Singapore shores on Monday, 25 Apr.

And speculation could not have been any greater as the band, consisting of frontman Adam Levine, guitarist James Valentine, keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, bassist Michael Madden and drummer Matt Flynn, had earlier hosted a press conference where vocalist Levine gave rather ambiguous answers when it came to the topic of the quintet going separate ways.

Still, talk of disbandment did little to dampen the spirits of the audience. As soon as 8.20pm rolled along, drums rolled and the quintet belted out the lead single of their third album, Hands All Over.

From then on, the crowd was experiencing any emotion but misery, as Levine seamlessly progressed into their next song, ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’.

The 32-year-old who’s dating Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna, spoke of how girls were the motivation behind their songs throughout their 16-year career. “The amazing thing about women,” he paused for a moment, before continuing, “Is that you keep us men writing songs about you for all our lives.”

It was clear who the fan favourite among girls was - frontman and guitarist Adam Levine.

It was no joke on Levine’s part. Maroon 5 were formerly called Kara’s Flowers, in tribute of a girl they all had a soft spot for. Their debut album in 2002 was titled Songs About Jane, a jibe at Levine’s ex-girlfriend of the same name.

Naturally, fans got to hear from that album, as Levine took fans’ breaths away with ‘Harder To Breathe’ and ‘The Sun’.

Tributes took centrestage during the 90-minute-long show, as the quintet did mashups of their songs with other classics, interspersing ‘The Sun with the late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Secret’ with Tina Turner’s 1984 smash hit ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It’, to the delight of fans in their 30s and 40s.

Still, it was their own classics that led to their followers singing along to the beat. Amid the rapturous screams and cheers from excited fangirls, more than half the crowd could be heard harmonising with vocalist Levine to their 2002 hit ‘She Will Be Loved’. Levine was suitably impressed at the male audience members’ supposed vocal prowess, referring to the chorus of the song as “a little too high to be sung”.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic student Jolene Sng, 18, who won tickets to the concert, lapped up every moment of it. “(Adam Levine) was so involved with the audience!” she cooed, referring to how Levine tossed his shirt into the hands of screaming fans.

And high was the word to describe the crowd as their deafening screams continued throughout the band’s renditions of songs like ‘Wake Up Call’ and ‘This Love’.

Just when it looked like the band was about to make a repeat of their 2008 gig here by clocking less than 80 minutes, Levine initiated a return to the stage, with more recent numbers like ‘Hands All Over’ and ‘Makes Me Wonder’, before bowing out with a final encore, ‘Sunday Morning’.

After this successful gig, will the 5 of them consider coming back for a third time? Levine seemed to imply so, at the press conference earlier. “What we love about Singapore is the amazing crowd!” he said grinning.
