I started off the night at the sold-out B96 Jingle bash with a two
minute countdown to the first performance of the night, Luke Hemmings
(rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist), Calum Hood (bassist and vocalist),
Ashton Irwin (drummer and vocalist), and Michael Clifford (lead
guitarist and vocalist), but you may know them as 5 Seconds of Summer.
They began the concert by singing, “You Look so Perfect”, and overall,
they had an outstanding performance singing all of their top chart
songs. I felt they really got the crowd going.
Next on stage was OMI; he
preformed two of his most popular songs “Hula Hoop” and “Cheerleader”
along with two additional songs. His songs were very catchy and had us
on our feet the entire performance.
After OMI, Hailee Steinfield went on
stage; you may know her as an actress in “Pitch Perfect 2” or her hit
single “Love Myself”. Hailee Steinfield’s performance had such a
positive message, telling the crowd to “love themselves” and an
important message for the audience which included a lot of teenage
girls.
Pentatonix (PTX) is a capella group, the members in this group
are Avi Kaplan (bass), Scott Hoying (baritone), Kirstin Maldonado
(mezzo-soprano), Kevin Olusola (cello), and Mitch Grassi (tenor). Their
performance was astonishing, although sadly they were the only group to
sing a Christmas song, and actually besides their one Christmas song and
the title of the concert there was not too much in the way of holiday
decorations for a holiday themed concert event.
Once the Penatonix
exited the stage, Shawn Mendes was up, singing his songs with just him
and his guitar. Shawn was the adorable heartthrob of the night. The
girls behind us were screaming and shouting and declaring their love for
him along with the entire audience.
After Shawn, Jason Derulo showed
off his singing and dancing skills, along his eight-pack when he whipped
his shirt off, used it as a rag, and threw it out into the audience
where two girls
fought over it as if their lives depended on it. He
truly stole the show and also had the longest performance of the night.
For the final performance of the night, Demi Lovato went on stage. She
slayed her new album “Confident”, and ended the night ironically with
the song “Cool for the Summer”. It was so nice to see all of these
amazing and incredible performers share a stage.
Even though I
was expecting more of a holiday themed concert, it still ended up being
very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it if you know some of the
artists songs but do not want to purchase tickets for a concert for just
one single artist. It is also a great blend of kids, teens, parents
and adults making for just a fun night out no matter your age! UnRatedMagazine.com |
