Hearing Nelly for the 1st time was great. I had originally purchased 2 tickets to take my 14 year old daughter but she was under the weather so I took a friend that I didn't know also liked Nelly and she and I had a great time. We were in LC, Row J and they were great seats as well. But I don't think there are any bad seats at the Jubilee.
We sat left side 8th row, the view of the show was great however the sound was poor. It seemed like the bass was way too loud, it may of sounded good at the rear of the theatre but in our location it was very disappointing.
I went to this concert because I love Nelly's music and I think it is great what she has done as a Canadian musician. But I left feeling that she is really disconnected from her followers and she has not figured out who her core audience is. The music from her "I'm like a bird" era is disconnected from her "Folklore" era which is even more disconnected from her "Loose" (Maneater, Promiscous Girl) era. Watching her perform these songs live it became apparent that there really is no common thread between these song. For a person like myself who loves "Say what you want" and "Forca", I found Nelly displayed great, heartfelt, authentic passion when she sang them. However the showy, bombastic performance of the "Loose" numbers felt manufactured and noisy. The songs from the different eras simply did not blend together during this night. Further, the show could have benefited by a Screen of some sort so that you could get close up's of Nelly's face and her other performers. We were in the 20th row, and with the lighting the way it was it was very difficult to make out any kind of emotion on the faces. Lastly, I was surprised by the awkward banter that Nelly had with audience. It was NOT natural and free-flowing. It seemed like she was reading from a script or performing a canned routine. As a result, this was an impediment for her to develop a genuine connection with the audience. Judging by the number of empty seats in the audience (about 50% of the seats were empty) it appears Nelly has some work to do to figure out who her audience is.
A girlfriend and I saw Nelly on Saturday at the Jubilee. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect; she's been out for over a decade now. Without a doubt one of the best concerts I've seen!! She performed with such enthusiasm and style. She played sooo many of her hits ( I'm like a bird, maneater, turn off the lights, forca, promiscuous etc) the only complaint I had was the crowd. I don't know if people understood that they were at a concert but we got shushed quite a few times. We were also told to sit down. Here's a tip for the future, when singing and dancing at a concert it shows the artist that you're having a great time and are enjoying the music. This is a good thing! Other than that, it was awesome!!
2 opening acts were good but Nelly Furtado's performance was dreadful, dreadful,dreadful to put it mildly.
She sang songs that weren't even on her album. She did a song with one of her opening band it was horrible. She sang with no feeling. Worst concert I have been to. I do not recommend going to her concert unless you want to watch her sing cover songs.
Loved it! My only complaint: it was very hard to see Nelly from our seats. A few big-screens televisions would have made a big difference.
Crowd was ok but a bit lame. Not normally a big Nelly fan but she is a great live performer and showed she really can sing. Did all the hits.
Nelly Furtado has been around for 13 years and has never under done herself. She always brings it and does and amzing show! Her new album "The Spirit Indestructible" is so inspirational and this tour is absolutley stunning! She has so many hits and amazing songs as well!
