I go to concerts to just have fun.  I am not a music critic.  I don't go to hear him sing wicked games fully in a falsetto.  I just love the experience of being around other people that are all there because we love the same thing.     

Wait so dudes don't go to concerts to see good performances?
I understand you love dudes music, a lot of people do but if you wanna see someone sing his songs off key, you could do that in your shower.
I swear there's only extreme sides of the spectrum when it comes to anything regarding this guy

You guys look into everything too much honestly.  You compared him singing his own songs to a man singing in his shower.  The man can sing we know this.  Its not going to be horrible.  He will miss some notes.  He will hit most of them.  I am not going to criticize him for every small error.  I will enjoy the whole experience.  I am not saying they could put a boombox on the stage just playing HOB and id be content paying money.  But if he isn't the greatest performer ever im not going to cry about it id still have a great time.
still can't find any tickets for the DC show under $300

He did "live" versions of his songs which were really dope. He was actually hitting each notes and even finished with an acoustic version of "Wicked Games" which was

. The only time he got the crowd to sing along was "Montreal" cause it was in Montreal. He's really grown from when I saw the vids of his first performance ever. He looked nervous then but when I went he was very confident and wasn't afraid to try different things. He's grown into a pretty dope performer.

Def worth my money and I'd recommend anyone who has a chance to go to one of his shows to go because it's certainly an experience,a dope experience.

you dont know what we are talking about but you reference it later in your post

I'm glad to hear that he is getting more comfortable and figuring out his show...my posts and a couple of the others were clearly going off that vids that have been posted here and all over the web


thanks for the update...by the time he makes his way around here it will prob be a show worth seeing

I'm a fan. I enjoy his music during L.A. traffic or to get me to work.

I'm 31, so I'm big on respect. Just like I deleted anything Trey Songz when he tried to go at Kelly. Kelly was being played when all these artists were being conceived.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one vexed by this...

What if Trey Songz apologized? Dude would have to go back and download all the tracks again hoping Trey doesn't go at R. Kelly again.

I went to two of his early shoes about 3 months apart and in that span of time he was already much improved.
For the length of the sets I saw, it probably wasn't worth it 

 I personally didn't mind. It was clear the sets I witnessed were baby steps for him to build up for something bigger. I can't remember any moment where he was off his performances I saw. His biggest issue was comfort with the crowd. 

by the time he hits the festivals and tours, he'll kill. No question.

This dude wishes he was Ron Isley though...

 

[slaptastic]

Can anyone find the video of him performing Zone after that song?
