It was fun, but..
by Anita on 9/12/22The Observatory - Santa AnaRating: 3 out of 5The music was great! On theme with the event. However, I don’t think the DJs did that amazing of a job at transitioning songs. I genuinely think they tried their best, and maybe I was expecting the event to be a little different. But there was a lot of talking in between songs and the repeated “Santa Ana how are you doing” which was fine a couple times but I feel like it was in between every song. And when songs did transition to the next, it usually was after the entire song ended and it wasn’t smooth at all. I felt like we were listening to a Spotify playlist.
There was also a lot of dancing on stage by one of the girls, which I get it if her job is to be a hype woman. If that was the case, it would’ve been cool to see her at least dress like the theme. The best parts of the show where when people from the crowd joined in and when the guy (I think his name was Richard??) danced/lip sang to Queen songs. He had the exact energy the venue wanted and he was dressed on theme.
If this event was created by the two girls DJing, kudos to them. This is a genius idea and I think if their performance was polished a bit it could be a huge ticket seller. They have the right idea, but should work on the executions.
