Katy Perry is a star!
by znz212 on 2018-02-09Rogers Arena - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5Having seen Katy Perry on each tour through Vancouver, I have had the pleasure of seeing her grow from the smaller production at Commodore Ballroom in 2009 into the massive spectacle that is the Witness World Tour. This was her most ambitious production yet with an enormous video screen that spanned the width of the floor - certainly impressive. Katy was on point as she always is. She sings live and she sounds great even with cardio workout she puts on through her entire set. She sang the majority of her countless hits in a nearly 2 1/2 hour production, and sprinkled in some cute moments of audience interaction. The audio mix was probably the best I have experienced at Rogers Arena. I'm not sure if this is due to the fact that the show was being filmed for an upcoming video release, or just because Katy is confident in the power of her voice and doesn't need to hide behind overpowered guitars which is the norm at 100+ arena shows I've attended. I will not hesitate to see Katy Perry again each time she tours nearby, and wholeheartedly recommend seeing her to anyone. Carly Rae Jepsen opened up the show and was fantastic. Her voice was also a stand-out, and she left me wishing she got a longer set, especially considering the over 45 minute changeover before Katy came on. While I've been a casual fan of Carly's through enjoying her songs on the radio, having heard her perform I'll be looking out for future headlining tours.
