One has to wonder if this is the standard that we have to settle for because this was a Caribbean reggae event. SMH.
I LOVEDDD IT! I SAW ALL MY FAVORITES EXCEPT ELEPHANT MAN & VYBEZ KARTEL! BUT IT WAS WORTH THE MONEYYYY!
It seem as if they rush the artist on their performance and all they have its about only 5-10 to perform, then some artist don't show up and they give you a lame excuse for it (such as, he missed his flight) Really???. It wasn't worth $75, I've been attending this show since the very firts one and it gets worse every year.
the show was good lots of great artists like Demarco, Serari, Ricky Blaze (big up Brooklyn) Barrington Levy, the Marley's and even suprise guests Busta Ryhmes and Dj Kahled. However the only downside is that the artists played like 20 seconds of a song then talked and even in the balconey it wsa packed like sardines. Overall the music was good and started my weekend off right.
G Great but disappointed that Elephant Man wasn't there!
It was my husband and I first time going and we will definitely go again. All the artists performance were great. Hot 97 put a great concert together.
The music was not so good and also a lot of people smoking weed in the place....too many interruptions from the singers and at the end Elephant man did not not show up in the event..I will never go again to this type
Obviously everyone is disappointed that Elephant Man didn't even show up. But we spent more of the night listening to Jabba shout out neighborhoods and islands than actually listening to music. Every artist seemed to want to get off stage ASAP. They did literally 30 seconds of each song and then ran off. Vegas gave us a few seconds of all of his hits and then quit. Jabba ran and chased him and asked him to do more, so he had the DJ play Black Eyed Peas and Taio Cruz? That was absolutely ridiculous. Mavado just stood there and let the crowd sing his songs, until he ran out of songs and had to bring in DJ Khaled and his crew to scream a bunch of dirty south hip hop songs that no one came to listen to. Serani actually did well and Busta was a nice surprise to an otherwise terrible concert.
Can't wait for the 2012 edition!! Was perfect but I put 4* only b/c Elephant Man didn't show up. Mavado, Serani, Mr. Vegas killed the stage.
I enjoyed every bit of the show. I just wish Elephant Man and Gyptian was there as promised, but the show was still awesome.
I love the music, but I need to hear it!!! Get a better sound check, artist need to perform more than 25-50secs of the song...then stop and someone yelling on the mic for 2mins...then 25secs of a song...repeat!!! Let those beautiful girls in the audience Slow Wind (or fast)...let us dance, play full songs, at least more than a couple secs. Overpriced for the product recieved!!
It was increadble, The performers was great and full f life I like that , The croud was lifely , I will go it again next year thanks.
I have been to everyone of the Hot 97 on the reggae tip. But this one was amazing, I love the addition of the calypso guess. Because its only right since its labor day wkend to have some SOCA... Overall the event started on time,ended on time..And it was not stop fun... I love you Machel Montano and Ele never dissappoints.
Once again like every other year Hot 97 put on a extremely amazing show. All acts were awesome but Lady Saw took the show. Allison hinds did her thing.
It was just what I expected. Really enjoyed it. Danced all night.
All the artistes did very well, i came when Ricky blaze was performing, and from then i was on cloud nine with my husband...I even loved the special guess artists
The concert was great. It started on time, the performers were GREAT and had TONS of ENERGY. There were sooooo many acts. Thank you so much for having Shaggy! I love him! The only thing I would change were the length of some of the acts. I could tell they wanted to give us more but were under tight time limits.
I have gone to many a concerts but HOT 97 ALWAYS SURPASSES THEM ALL. Its easy to write a bad review but to write a GOOD REVIEW ppl seem to overlook. I HAD TO WRITE THIS REVIEW...THE CONCERT WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Coming from a Caribbean background I could not appreciate this concert more! HOT 97 U HAD ME AT ALLISON HINDS! ALL THE GUEST APPEARANCES...OMG IT JUST BRINGS JOY TO MY HEART! I CANT STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS CONCERT..IF UR A TRUE REGGAE FAN THIS IS THE ONE CONCERT U MUST ATTEND...AGAIN AND AGAIN! PLEASEE DONT STOP DOING THIS CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
This concert was really good. All the artists performed superbly. I felt I got my money's worth. I will definately be going next year.
