Actually it has been, ever heard of Prince? Gnarls Barkley? Michael Jackson? Janet Jackson? Red Hot Chili Peppers? Joss Stone? The Clash? Jimi Hendrix? Stevie Wonder? Tons of bands have combined pop and funk, some have based their careers around it. Maroon 5 aren't doing anything new, tons of artists, especially that whole BET scene have incorporate funk elements into their music. They're not nearly as original as everyone is playing them out to be. For current mainstream radio, yeah but when you're original in comparison to Fergie that really isn't saying shit.
