Lorde Is Not Your Average Pop Star, She's Unique!
by Anonymous on 3/15/14Roseland Ballroom - New YorkI've been a fan of Lorde for a while now and I've been waiting to see her for months. She performed at a few months ago at Webster Hall, but the tickets had sold out. Then when she announced her first US tour, I knew I couldn't miss her this time. I even cried when I brought my ticket. Every show at the Roseland sold out and I was so happy to finally be able to see Lorde live. I knew I wanted to be close up as possible, so I left early. I had a long wait, but it was so worth it! I ended up being in the second row center. I couldn't believe it! I could literally touch Lorde. It was amazing being so close to the stage. When Lorde came out it felt really surreal. She was in the flesh and when she started to sing, I was mesmerized! Lorde put on a fantastic show. She didn't need all the extra things that most performers have at their concert. Less is more. It was just her and her drummer along with the keyboard player. The lighting effects where awesome. I felt like I was at a club and not a show. I loved how Lorde changed the arrangements for some of her songs as well as adding extra songs that I never heard of. The confetti at the end was a nice touch. She truly appreciated all the love from the crowd and thanked us for selling out all 3 of her shows at the Roseland. Lorde is not your average pop star. I wouldn't even call her a pop star because she's so much more than that. Her singing was top notch...she sounded even better in person than on her record! (Even though she had a cold, you would never know it.) I almost forgot that she is just 17 years old because she has this maturity about her. She had the audience at the palm of her hand. I'm glad I got to see Lorde in such a intimate setting and had such a great experience. Lorde will be around for years to come, selling out arenas. Where ever her career will take her, I will be there to follow her journey. I'm happy to have been at the Roseland and seeing Lorde there brings closure for me now that the legendary Ballroom will be closed down for good. I'll always hold on to those memories. :)
