The music performance started off quite slow and not necessarily boring just not very energetic meaning the audience wasn't really reacting to the music. But as the performers got more comfortable the audience started interacting more clapping with the beat or cheering. The audience would encourage people who were nervous meaning that some sort of relationship had been built.
A lot of the performance consisted of a shortened version of songs generally including a verse and the chorus. This was good because it took pressure off of the musicians as well as if members of the audience didn't like the song or didn't enjoy that particular performance, a new song would be coming up in a couple of minutes meaning people weren't going to get bored.
The standout performances were either when Billie Jean (Michael Jackson) or On and On(Erykah Badu). This is when the show began to pick up its pace and the audience started responding to the music more. Both of these are standout moments largely due to the vocal performances done by the various people who were on stage. Everyone who sang on both of these songs created there own style for each song and made it unique but not to the point where the actual meaning of the song was lost and it just became a normal cover anyone could put on youtube.
Overall I felt like the vocals were the main presence on stage as well as some of the drumming done in the earlier parts of the concert and towards the end. One thing that could've been done better in my opinion was the guitar solos as some of them felt out of time or had missing notes. This can throw off the performers as well as the audience. Another thing I felt that could've been changed was possibly using a wider variation of instruments. This would've created a different feeling and overall atmosphere.
Performance Two - Performing Arts(dance and drama)
This performance consisted of a dance act that was done at the beginning that was very abstract and different to what I was expecting. The fact that it was abstract meant it could be perceived in different ways meaning it was unique to each person. When I couldn't understand what was going on someone else might've experienced a dramatic performance.
The actors were always facing the audience and projected there voices very well. This meant the audience understood what was going on and good engage with the audience more. Not many mistakes happened and any that did didn't affect the overall performance.
The most notable performance was the 2nd one where a collection of different scenarios occurred performed by a large group of people but each scenario generally didn't include more than 5 people. These scenarios included a mix of humour and also social problems. If the performance was too dark and deep it might have ruined the mood for the entire show so it was a good idea to throw in a joke every so often.
The final performance was a preview from Romeo and Juliet(the prologue). They generally stuck to the script meaning it was performed in the way Shakespeare had intended in terms of the script but they threw in a few modern references for comedic moments and used contemporary music.
Overall I felt like the performance went well and was enjoyable even though it isn't necessarily something I like.
