ariananext Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Title is clear, rate all the artists you've seen live, if you want to give a more accurate answer you can rate based on: a) vocals b) production/show c) connection/stage presence
selena_lavigne Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) I've been to so many excellent concerts, i prefer to rank their discographies. But Eras Tour is worth dropping everything to see. ESPECIALLY with the updated setlist. I didn't see Paramore cuz i always get to Taylor's concerts 5 minutes after she starts. But yeah. Both times i was RUNNING while the intros were playing.

Gottasadae Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Celine Dion - Great! Madonna - Best performer, I ever seen. Beyonce - Best performer, I ever seen. Britney - Good, she lip-synced but I really enjoyed the show. Gaga - meh, I saw her during Artpop Ball and it was really bad experience, definitely not her best time. 30 seconds to Mars - Good, a lot of fun. The Weeknd - Great! 1
Breakdown Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) I'll try to rank them which is difficult, I'll mix objectivity and subjectivity, so the performance by itself and my emotional response (edit: kinda almost exclusively went by emotional response tbh) From best to "worst" (I liked all of them) - Niall Horan - Coldplay - Joris - Lana Del Rey (she and especially her music just mean too much to me, finally seeing her last year was the ultimate fulfillment) - Marina & the Diamonds - Taylor Swift - Bruce Springsteen - Mariah Carey - Björk - Vicky Leandros - Michael Bublé - Madonna - The Beach Boys - The Weeknd - Fler - Alanis Morrissette - Kacey Musgraves - Ellie Goulding - Cro - Paul Anka Edited August 1 by Breakdown 1
diemoehre Posted August 1 Posted August 1 The big artists I saw were: Katy Perry - Prismatic World Tour: really good show, Katy gave it her all. It was super fun and well balanced. Ellie Goulding - Delirium Tour: don't remember much of it but she had a good set list and I enjoyed the concert. Melanie Martinez - Cry Baby Tour: it was okay, she literally just played the whole album front to back. Katy Perry - Witness Tour: also a good show, Katy made us go crazy. Liked the outfits and visuals less than the ones for Prism. Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia Tour: strong tour, strong set list. Really great show. Dua looked and sounded amazing. Taylor Swift - Eras Tour: everything has been said about this tour already. Taylor plays for three whole hours and never seems exhausted or unmotivated. Incredible. 2
TaylorsSquad Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) Kelly Clarkson - great Rihanna - great Taylor Swift - phenomenal Britney Spears - worst live I've ever seen Kesha - great Mariah Carey - great Halsey - great Lady Gaga - great Edited August 1 by TaylorsSquad 1

ariananext Posted August 1 Author Posted August 1 I'm going to give mine as well. Honestly I would rate all of them 10/10 because they were all great experiences overall. Ariana Grande at Honeymoon Tour - my first show, I was 16, probably one of the most exciting, show was amazing for a newbie and it was so much fun, she sung great. Production was nice (Rixton as opener was great). Dua Lipa at Future Nostalgia Tour - the show was super fun with a great string of hits, the outfits were amazing and she's gorgeous. Little interaction but I didn't mind (Griff as opener was cute). Coldplay at Music Of The Spheres Tour - I didn't know all the songs but it was a great show, the lights made it magical and the classics were amazing to hear live. The Weeknd at After Hours Til Dawn Tour - probably my best experience because I was front row and he interacted with my boyfriend during Less Than Zero. The show was incredible and his vocals were amazing. I enjoyed every bit of it. Taylor Swift at The Eras Tour - best show production I've ever seen, her energy is incredible, she's super hardworking. It was incredible to hear some of my favourite songs live. Paramore - I'm going to rate them separately from Taylor, they were incredible and I'm so grateful she picked them as openers. Still Into You live was a moment. Mahmood - saw him live the other day and it was such a great night, I was front row and interacted with him, he has a gorgeous voice and I managed to meet him after the show too. ------ I also saw many italian artists but not full shows, I liked most of them (Annalisa, Elodie, Rose Villain, Angelina Mango, Tananai, Lazza, Luche, Ricchi e Poveri, Biagio Antonacci, Rocco Hunt, Luche, Articolo 31, Alessandra Amoroso, Francesco Gabbani, Irama, Coco, Achille Lauro). 1
Paddy Posted August 1 Posted August 1 True live excellence: - Madonna (2 times) she just knows how to do it and both times had great banter with the audience - P!nk (3 times) again she knows how to put on a show. She repeatats setlist songs too much recently but the chemistry and show is fantastic - Florence and the Machine (4 times) absolutely incredible what she does without any big production. Has the audience wrapped around her fingers the whole time. Made me cry, jumped down to me, signed my CD as well just incredible! - Taylor Swift (2 times) I swore I wouldn't go to another of her shows after seeing her at 1989 Tour, but I went back for the Eras Tour (I mean, all the hits and more during a 3+ hour long show?) and made me fall in love with her live again. She wasn't bad the first time, she was great that time and I was at the very front, but the audience was insane. Anyways The Eras Tour was incredible. Incredible Artist worth seeing live: - Paloma Faith (3 times) always incredible to see her, she's a massive sweetheart. - Kylie Minogue (2 times) incredible, sweet, puts on a great show and loves every minute of it - Miley Cyrus seen her during Bangerz Tour and it still is one of my favourite shows I've ever been to. She sand Wrecking Ball while looking at me, was so fun, sweet with audience and just incredible! - Adele (2 times) made the arena feel so intimate, was funny, engaging, sweet and just so amazing live. - Lily Allen (1 time) made people go absolutely insane, was fun, emotional night and absolutely incredible. Hope she tours soon again! - Dido (2 times) loved her, so sweet, amazing vocie, incredible personality without pretending she's something she's not. Just herself and a band and very very amazing! - Lana Del Rey what she can do... wow... some pop girls wish they'd have people screaming the lyrcis as much as she did, she was in great form, fun, engaging, loved every second of the show! - Self Esteem it was a theatre excellence, conceptual show so engaging and fun and just incredible show. She healed my depression that night! - Shania Twain (1 time) LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the show. She was incredible. Amazing night. - Tove Lo (1 time) such a fun night, so much fun. Very little interaction with the audience but she made up for it during the songs, like she really was enjozing it and was having a great time, and so did the audience. Definitely going again if she comes! OK: - Beyonce (1 time) the show was incredible (The Formation Tour) and I was so happy to be there, but not sure I'd go again, I like her music but not a hardcore fan of hers. - Carly Rae Jepsen (1 time) she was ok, she was fun, just not for me really. I enjoyed the night, I am happy I got to see her and her many of my favourites live, but name crossed off a my bucket list. - Janelle Moane - Incredible show, loved every second of it, but very little engagement with the audience (and while some make it work) Janelle didn't. Hmmm - Christine and the Queens - Redcar was incredible! It was an experience but not much for me. I loved the show, enjoyed it, but it was a theatre performance but not as well executed as Self Esteem. - Lady Gaga - It was the ARTPOP ball and it just wasn't Gaga at her finest. Fun show, but really not my cup of tea. Disappointed: - Ellie Goulding (1 time) - look the show was fun, but the Meet and Greet was such a bittersweet experience, that the bitterness lingered throughout the night. 1
potent Posted August 1 Posted August 1 based solely on how they were live? 1. Jessie Ware 2. Ed Sheeran 3. Alvvays 4. Imagine Dragons 5. Carly Rae Jepsen
SlimyGhoul Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Charli XCX: Saw her on Marina tour in 2013 and Rep tour in 2018. She has a fantastic, undeniable energy on stage. She's a great performer. Marina and The Diamonds: She did well!! Nothing crazy, but a good job nonetheless. Taylor Swift: Saw during Rep tour, she did a fantastic job, truly. I honestly can say she knows how to perform very well. Camila Cabello: Unfortunately she was on the Rep tour so I saw her perform. It was not anything to write home about.
MP3 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Madonna: I've seen her 5 times, the first one for the S&ST, I saw the MDNA Tour 3 times in 3 different cities and I saw the Celebration Tour. MDNA was great, S&ST Ok, I was 16, but the Celebration was one of the best show I've been Céline Dion: I've seen her 3 times, for the Taking Chances Tour, her Summer Tour 2016 and for the Courage World Tour (all in Montreal, so the vibe was epic). Courage World Tour was the best out of the 3, because she sang also English songs in Montreal Lady Gaga: I've seen her 2 times, one for the BTW Ball and the other one for the JWT. Both were amazing, but the JWT was even more enjoyable Foster the People: One time in an open air field in 2011 for Torches and the other one in 2017 in a festival, they are always good Dua Lipa: That one was really nice, but she was somehow cold and didn't talked much Metallica: Fkg amazing, it was the M72 Tour in 2023, sold out show in a stadium Katy Perry: I saw her while I was in Paris for the Witness Tour, it was great Lana del Rey: I was not impress seriously, it was in 2015 Coldplay: For the Mylo Xyloto Tour, it was amazing The Weeknd: For the Starboy: Legend of the Fall Tour, it was really great too Angèle: She was great, it was in 2023, she talked a lot with the crowd Kylie Minogue: I will always remember that one, it was the Aphrodite Tour, it was a very nice show
50thStateofMind Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I canʻt recall everyone Iʻve seen, but: Beyonce was without a doubt the best Kendrick was amazing Justin Timberlake was very good Kehlani was very good 1975 was very good Lana was very good vocally, but a tad boring Janet was a bit of a let down tbh.... Tinashe was great but her set as 30 mins Mariah is definitely on the lower end of the list

Oktober Knight Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Madonna - best shows ever Janet Jackson - high energy Britney Spears - stunning TLC - basic but entertaining Dua Lipa - very impressive Justin Timberlake - entertaining Shakira - not bad Backstreet Boys - boring as expected Pat Benatar - just WOW (those vocals) Kylie Minogue - big production Nickelback - surprisingly very good! Tom Petty - legend! (saw him just weeks before he passed away) Fleetwood Mac - pleasant Stevie Nicks solo - yaaaaasssss Pink - amazing but became repetitive Avril Lavigne - yawn Cher - meh Beyoncé - wowowwow
gustavothehuman Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) HEADLINERS Coldplay (March 21st and 22nd, 2023): Chris is an insane frontman, even while standing still he can control the public. The other members of the band are more shy, but charismatic nevertheless. Production was top notch and the fact they brought everything to the Brazilian countryside is commendable. I think the biggest problem about this tour has been the setlist, but it was perfect in Curitiba. Euphoric, emotional and soul cleansing! 10/10 Taylor Swift (November 26th, 2023): she has put so much effort into this tour, it's incredible. Also, I was really happy about experiencing some Reputation songs live, it was the era in which I became a fan. People love to drag her vocals but they were on-point. The only downside for me was "It's Time To Go" as a surprise song, though I'm sure many other fans were pleased. A wild, opulent, broadway-esque show! 9.8/10 Jão (February 24th, 2024): easily the most well-produced concert by a national pop act. His energy doesn't quite fill the stage like Coldplay and Taylor's, but it should be noted this is his first actually big tour. All in all, if there are any fellow Brazilians reading this, don't let the Twitter crowd fool you, he is a great, light-hearted performer! 9.2/10 OPENERS Sabrina Carpenter (November 26th, 2023): the production was pretty good considering the restraints of an opening act. I'm not particularly crazy about her, but the talent and stage presence is definitely there. Wishing her the best! 8.5/10 Chvrches (March 21st and 22nd, 2023): it was a nice set, but some of the songs were repetitive. The same goes for Lauren's spinning shtick, though she is a great singer. Anyway, it wasn't bad at all, just not my cup of tea! 8.0/10 Clara x Sofia (March 21st and 22nd, 2023): I loved the new arrangements for each song and the vocals were pretty fine. Conversely, I couldn't help but notice they struggled to connect with the public. It's honestly a shame, because both girls seem to be nice people. Keep working! 7.5/10 Edited August 2 by gustavothehuman 1
Chris Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Madonna and Beyonce were amazing live and deserve their 10s. Rihanna and Taylor were awesome too.
Alldeezy Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Best ever: Allday. (Tho i fainted when I swooned hopefully it won't happen again this month but hoping I do get to meet him since I'm lining up 6 hours for barricade) Rihanna x2 Bring Me The Horizon x5 Evermore x6 (all 6 times were good to the point we ended being more mates then me being a fan at the end) I want that relationship with Allday eventually) Nessa Barrett (night 2) 360 Pretty good Linkin Park (would be best ever if chester never skipped in the end but it was his last tour before he died 😭) Maggie Lindemann (had a shitty view) Jonas brothers Eskimo Joe (one in 2011 and other at good things last year) Grinspoon (2019 show) Lady Gaga Panic at the disco Motionless in white x2 Illy PEZ Andy Black End of fashion (justin was so cheeky he kept talking to me during his sets) Good but stressful or meh view The offspring Asking Alexandria (I had crowd surfers and almost got crushed but had to hold on for that setlist) without ben bruce too but it was good Grinspoon (2012 show) Selena gomez Yungblud (meh view wanna see him again) Nessa Barrett (night 1 wasn't at barricade) Twenty one pilots (they didn't sing doubt) Okay Raye (was good but idk wasn't into the blues) The pretty reckless (**** view barely remember) Parkway drive Hands like houses Jordan sweeto Just bad P.O.D Probably heaps more but I'm on a blank right now 1
Gorjesspazze9 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 I haven't actually seen Big Artist live. The biggest one would be Harry Styles. He was fine. but after that 1975 and Kpop groups were the most fun performances.
