I am looking forward to watching Foster the People, Kelly Clarkson, Hot Chelle Rae, and Gym Class Heroes. To sum these performances:
- Foster the People's setlist was too short (3 songs) but I loved the extended version of Pumped Up Kicks.
- Hot Chelle Rae was to pop-py for my taste but the crowd love their catchy choruses
- Big Time Rush was famous for the teen-agers. I was almost deaf after their set. They had these fluorescent lights on their clothes that I thought would create a pattern but it didn't really.
- Cobra Starship has good songs but the lead vocals keep on throwing the mic stand and it bothers me a little.
- Gym Class Heroes great songs, but the voices of Bruno Mars for Billionaire and Adam Levine for Stereo Harts are taped over
- Jason Derulo had a shiny jacket but with killer dance moves.
- Kelly Clarkson was amazing! She sang a Christmas song which seemed appropriate for the event. The crowd loved her - singing and dancing along even if she's the last performer.
PROS:
Great acts from varied genres, Sound quality is good to loud (from where we were seated), crowd energy is awesome, lighting on stage is good.
CONS:
unstable chairs and platforms (section 110, Row 4, seat 15-16), no cup holders, the breaks in between acts takes too long.
