Adam Levine Says 'F*ck You VMAs' !!!

MTV VMAs 2011: Adam Levine Says 'F*ck You VMAs'

Adam Levine

Suffice to say, Adam Levine will not be attending Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.

The outspoken Maroon 5 frontman and judge on NBC's "The Voice," took to Twitter on Saturday to air his disapproval of the network, which he believes has strayed from the original mission.

"the VMA's. one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I'm drawing a line in the sand. f*ck you VMA's," Levine wrote.

It was a statement he did not regret.

"still waiting to have my 'jerry macguire mission statement moment of deep regret...' not happening. phew!" he soon wrote.

MTV tweeted back at Levine, saying, “Soooo you'll be tuning in at 9/8C tomorrow right? BTW, bonus points if you TwitPic your 2004 Moonman!”

Levine's Maroon 5 won for "This Love" that year.

The singer also recently ripped "American Idol," criticizing what he perceived as their policy on openly gay contestants.

“What’s always pissed me off about 'Idol' is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken,” he told Out Magazine. “C’mon. You can’t be publicly gay? At this point? On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can’t hide basic components of these people’s lives. The fact that 'The Voice' didn’t have any qualms about being completely about it is a great thing.”

Hmmm sour grapes perhaps? Everyone knows at this point the MTV'S VMAs doesnt carry any weight. Its about the performances and who's going to do or say something controversial.

He is right about American Idol I do believe they tend to suppress a contestant's sexuality to appeal to Middle America and be known as a 'family show' Adam Lambert should've won that year

I agree with him, fuck MTV and fuck Idol! This is my first time hearing Adam Lambert didn't win, or maybe I just wasn't keeping up or caring. I just remember him everywhere and Taylor everywhere, don't watch the show.

But this doesn't mean I'm going to become Adam Levine's fan, he's just bitter about low sales and wants attention from those who are hipsters and too cool to like him lol
