Lorde performs an okay concert
by ChaffeurMom14 on 9/29/14BMO Harris Pavilion - MilwaukeeRating: 3 out of 5I took my daughter and her friends to see Lorde at BMO Harris -- so I was not the fan. Still, I have been to a fair number of concerts -- many times not as the fan -- and have to say this one, while decent -- didn't make me a fan as other concerts I've attended have. Lorde is clearly talented and appeals to a wide variety of people -- from preteens to old folks, based on the audience. Her music sounds pretty much the same -- hard to differentiate one song from the next. ROYALS, her big hit - was the best song she performed with the best production value etc... the rest of the concert was okay. She's not much of a dancer, not too much of a band -- and she doesn't have a great rapport with her band or the audience. She sort of just says, "Milwaukee is so nice!" and she did go on for about ten minutes about being seventeen -- which, I think was very nice -- but lost the audience (even the teens). At the end she said, "This will be the last song." She played it. Walked off stage. Lights came up and that really was it. Sort of a let down -- but she's young. Maybe her live performances will improve. She seemed like a nice person and the kids like her -- so I guess -- that's enough.
