"The Lost Art Of" must be a long series now, please. It would be a *Classic*
listen to freddy, they like porter robinson. they have taste.
@@jahanzebkhan9081 Glad to see another Porter fan. Nurture Masterpiece fr
I knew someone else was thinking this...this series is the best
My man freddy just passed the vibe check just by the pfp alone

Honestly, the new magic wand performance that Tyler, the creator did at the 2020 Grammys is probably my favorite performance I’ve ever seen. I feel like that the performance really captured the way the song sounded. It really captured how eerie the song actually is. Like how the song is literally about killing his crushes girlfriend. Like the performance really shows what the song sounded like, like it looked how the song sounded.
That's one of the few performances I've seen that profusely made me go like 'who IS that?'
agreed, can't believe people thought that was a bad performance. tyler doesn't get enough credit
@@bradywhite520 people thought that was a bad performance? who? most people agree it was a great one
Like like like you said the same thing 6 times but I feel u
Yes. I love that performance too. Tyler came a long way. He’s a true artist because he studied the greats to be a great just like them.
Michael Jackson is honestly as good as you can get when it comes to a live performer, he just hits every beat perfectly. It's to the point where I still watch performances of his almost daily.
YES that man could stand still and people be watching him, breathless, hanging on his every word and move. And that's TALENT
Fact!!!!
Prince could also take that role, but I agree. 21 Pilots is also incredible!
Beyoncé aswell
@@dez-m prince wasn’t great at dancing tho. But his performances were very good
I’ve seen Ari and Taylor live and while Ari has the vocals, Taylor had the ability to make a stadium feel soooo intimate. You can tell Taylor really loves performing and her fans. I would have loved to have attended the RED & 1989 tour!
yess!! i went to both red and reputation and taylor’s performance was even better than the (banger) songs. meanwhile i went to dangerous woman and while ariana had the great voice it was honestly the most boring concert i’ve been to
Ariana is better
Always got to put one down to lift one up. Honestly, I like listening to vocals better so I prefer Ari, but Taylor can put on a good concert. They are both good.
@@isuckateverything4073 please tell me where I wrote something that put down Ari. I said she has the vocals.
@@lynninfinite she was talking to @tittiena cuz she says ari is better
Beyoncé learned from the greatest live artists when they still were in their primes, studied them and practiced ALOT to get where she is now. That’s one of the reasons beside many imo why the new generation is lacking in this category. They haven’t enough role models.
ua-cam.com/video/TVP3xTxXbL0/v-deo.html
They have the role models. They just don't care enough to emulate them. Becoming Beyonce takes a lot of practice and hard work and not enough of the newer artist are willing to put in that much effort.
@@fizzychizzy it’s a difference imo between just reading articles/watching videos about said legends and actually being around during their prime, being able to see them live and go with them on a journey that lasts decades. Artists nowadays don’t have that anymore.
@@kalmanta1824 but is that true…Usher was out here pumping entertainment gold with dancing and vocals and choreography and then picked that little white boy up and what is that white boy doing now? There are live acts that are still very good and still in the place to teach today. What was Chris Brown doing in that back half of the Usher era? It’s really because these artist chose not to put in the same amount of work. Its lack of will (by the artist and the labels) that’s the problem in my opinion.
I think lack of recent role models is definitely a contributing factor, especially when so many recent (male) stars seem to have gotten away with just jumping around the stage in lieu of any real stagemanship.
Beyoncé, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah, Britney and Xtina etc. prioritised craft because there wasn’t really an alternative in Black music when they were coming up.
Everyone had to be good at something; if it wasn’t dancing, then it was singing and if it wasn’t either then it was musicianship or re: Hiphop, a megawatt level of charisma to talk to the crowd and sway them with words. Beyoncé et al put a lot of things together to create their respective styles..,
And while there are some strong performers on the rise from the new generation I feel a lot of them look solely to Beyoncé for inspiration when what they really need to do is consider her ONE module of MANY when studying the greats💯
As
an underrated live performer is p!nk, she literally does cirque du soleil (had to google how to spell that) type shit while preforming. she's such a 00's icon, i wish i could see her live
p!nks performances are amazing!!
She still has the record of most consecutive shows here in Melbourne. I think it was like 18 dates in a row.
She's exactly who I had in mind when I watched this video... that and the glitter in the air performance that she did at the grammys 😍
Acually people really recognize her for her live performances
She soared over the audience on a wire and ran around the stage in a hamster ball at a festival back in like 2011, not a fav artist of mine but jesus is she an amazing performer
Taylor Swift doesn’t just work the crowd, she makes it feel like a personal interaction. Everyone is given a bracelet that lights up/changes with the music. It makes you feel like youre part of the music but also makes people sitting in the way back feel seen. At the 1989 tour one of her bits was to bring down this huge hanging mic, get the crowd to sing, live mix the recording into a beat, and then perform with it.

exactly the reputation tour was iconic
I’m still sad she wasn’t in my country for the reputation tour 😩
Never really liked Taylor Swift’s music but I saw her with some friends when I was like 12 and the sheer amount of costume and set changes she had when she was performing songs from different albums was amazing… gave each song a whole new vibe it was fantastic
What tour was it?
@@adammillwood2709I’m thinking the 1989 tour. That one had ALOT of costume changes
It’s kinda refreshing to see Taylor and Tyler getting the recognition they deserve for their performances
Taylor the Creator
Tyler Swift
Swift the Tyler Creator Taylor
I saw Taylor Swift’s reputation tour live, and let me say, it changed the album for me. I suddenly understood it. My least favorite album of hers was transformed into one of my favorites. Not to mention her huge dance team and the literal acrobats she had. Talk about stage presence. She commanded the entire arena with everything she did.
lol their name rhymes
Bruno Mars is excellent live! He and his band dancing and singing with simple lights and pyrotechnics shouldn’t be so charming for how retro it is, but it works because they sell it well. You get wrapped up in the vibe whether you’re 8 years old or 70 years old, and that’s what he’s all about as a student of popular music
Facts: ua-cam.com/video/TVP3xTxXbL0/v-deo.html
I saw Rina Sawayama live and it was just amazing. She could’ve just sung, her music is amazing, she has amazing vocals and a lot of charisma. But she was dancing, changing fits and still belting like an alien. I loved her a lot, but now I love her even more.
OMG yessss I saw her live not too long ago and it was fantastic! Never thought someone in this comment section would mention her, people need to keep an eye on her, truly one to watch!
I wish she would come to my city so bad!! Her live performances are somehow even better than the album which is saying A LOT
omg i’m gonna see her live in about a month
yesss, I saw her in october, at that point I had only been to one concert the month before and it was AMAZING, she knows how to work a crowd!!
came into this video thinking about her! she's great
Rina Sawayama is an amazing performer, saw her when she only had her EP and a few singles out and she already had costume changes and backup dancers with full choreography. She made these tiny venues feel like a stadium with her presence. Now that her debut album is out and her growing fan base lets her play larger venues, I’m 100% sure she’ll deliver on giving a great performance. Definitely a legend in the making.
This is why I’m so excited to see her live this year!!
I was already seeing Charli XCX in chicago on the 29th then rinas date changed to thr 30th and I can’t wait omggg
bro i tried to get her la tickets and they sold out in like 30 secs, ugh i wanna see her live so bad
Seeing Beyonce live was life changing.
I spent like 10 years watching her in DVDs and when I saw that 5'7 woman come up on stage with fireworks, that bass on the speakers was like 🤯. As a performer myself, I never even thought that a human being could be that agressive and relatable at the same time. The vocals, the tenderness and you can see the effort she puts in every detail. That was the best day of my life.
Saaaaaaame
Viu no BR?
🙌🙌🙌
Agreed and I want to see her so many more times
See y'all going make me break bank the next time she comes through with all of these comments 😂
you really did it with this one!! i saw tame impala live and i’m still searching for that feeling.
Tame Impala is so goated
Saw Tame Impala perform like 4x in one year after their first album came out. They went so crazy at their Louisville show that they blew a speaker and it somehow caught fire. We look up and firemen are climbing the balcony to put out the fire but the band just kept playing, smiling and looking bewildered af lol
same my gosh. was literally floating i swear
This got me hyped. I am so keen for my first Tame Impala concert!!!
im still not over what was going to be my first tame concert getting delayed and cancelled bc of the pandemic 😭😭😭
Nothing tops Beychella.
That live album is sick, and that Netflix special is sick too. The reimagining of classic songs in a new HBCU way is 2nd to none
The reason Michael Jackson's epic performance at Motown 25 is so special is because he did a wholesome Jackson 5 medley with his brothers first and then followed it with an aggressive Billie Jean performance in a room filled with LEGENDS and a TV audience of 50 million people, who still saw him as the adorable ABC kid. That night MJ destroyed that perception and said the crown is mine, FOREVER.
Amazing video. Would love to see a straight up ranking of the specific taped live performances you like the best so I could check em out. Keep making great videos my dude!!
swedish
yooooo
ayyyyyyy
yooo roomie watches nathan zed??? the collab i never knew i needed
CAN WE GET A COLLAB
BEYONCÉ. That woman is a beast on stage.
I feel like people disrespect her because they want to seem edgy and different.
Believe me, there is a reason that women has been on top of her game for two decades.
i have literally never seen anyone being disrespectful of Beyonce
@@nonevers you must be living on another planet lmao
@@ambre4144 for real? people actually try to come for Beyonce? wow. no cause i have never seen an instance where Beyonce is made fun of.
i guess i keep myself surrounded by the right people
@@nonevers you’re on the good side of the internet then good for you friend !😂 but seriously, I really like Beyoncé’s art however im no fan of hers but still I’ve seen tons and tons of ppl minimizing her talent, saying that she’s no better than artists such as Taylor Swift or Billie Eilish (no shade towards them) or that she’s not an outstanding vocalist and this is the “nice” stuff I’ve read
@@ambre4144 back to let you know i had the ✨ pleasure ✨ to meet some bunch of people coming after Beyonce and it really shocked me to stutters lol cause wow
Beyonce and BTS for me. Best live concerts I've ever been in my life.
Taylor Swift live is incredible, but the Reputation tour was on another level. also on the Red tour when she would sing "i'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town" and then there would be fireworks on stage...iconic. oh, and who could ever forget Beychella...LEGENDARY. also, i've seen 5 Seconds of Summer when they did a stadium tour and a small venue tour, it was really cool to see how they were able to energize the crowd in both scenarios but also make adjustments (cause you definitely can't get a double encore of Amnesia during a stadium show)
Reputation was just mind-blowing.
REP was FIRE!!!
the giant snake during the amas
The shining firework was in Speak Now tour, not RED tour. Dear John wasn't even at RED Tour Setlist. But yes she she so incredible.
yeah i got to see her at the reputation tour and even tho im more of a rock and metal music person that was probably one of the best live preformances ive seen, especially with the giant snakes as stage props
as someone who grew up with britney it's great to see this generation have got doja, she's an amazing dancer/performer and honestly what the pop music industry has been missing for a while now
Yep. She is amazing.
she reminds me alot of a female weeknd, who can perform alot of genres and can sing well.
YES I started listening to my local pop station just for her lol, she is my favorite pop artist
Pop as in popular
Beyoncé lol, and I know everybody says that but there’s a reason. You cannot take your eyes off her even if someone is performing with her, her energy is absolutely insane to feel even from super far away.
Taylor’s live concerts really are something else. - the production value in the Speak Now World Tour??? Like watching a whole musical unfold before your eyes - her team from costume, to set, to fx & merchandising are on a whole nother playing field it’s unbelievable
I remember Taylor Swift saying that she never acknowledged the creativity that went into setting up a tour, selecting the songs, putting it all together, & performing until the pandemic and she was forced to take a step back from touring / the rut.
But it truly it. It is an art form in it’s own right.
Lorde was fucking incredible live. I'm not even a huge fan of hers, but seeing her perform was unearthly and I respect her so much. It was at lollapalooza and in the absolute pouring rain and her performance was cut short due to the thunderstorm. But seeing her perform with all of those people and lightning flashing and thunder behind her was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I felt like I was in a trance, her stage presence was so strong
I still have those albums on replay!!!! Hopefully i can see her live one day too
Tegridy
can’t wait to see her again soon 🥲
@@laneythelame Yeah I only saw her perform like 3 songs and I really want to go to one of her concerts now. She was just unbelievably good.
the giant box and the colors she used repsresented the album so well
Whenever people dare to call Beyoncé overrated its just makes me chuckle because that woman is a machine when it comes to performances. You will never understand the greatness of Beyoncé truly unless you actually see her live. Every single element you see on her stage is planned carefully. According to one of her interviews she spends 18+ hrs a day rehearsing, working with choreographers , vocal coaches , designers , light technicians just so she could deliver the best experience to her fans and audience. When you go to her concert, you get exactly what you paid for. The production and stage design just awes you and makes your jaw drop, the vocals just mesmerize you, the stage presence, the dancers, her backup singers i could go on. Its like you enter a whole another dimension. So for some people to go online and say shes overrated is just absurd because you dont ever know the amount of work this woman has put in to deliver for her fans.
THANK YOU, facts. I'm sick of ppl calling her evil and saying she can't sing too🙄
Most people saying she’s overrated just wanna sound different
@@deletingyoutubetoday9563 exactly! whoever says beyonce cant sing must have no ears cause that woman once had a crowd of 175k people on their feet screaming and all of that was because she just hit the ending note of Halo. And Halo is not even in the top 15 of hardest and vocally demanding beyonce songs to sing
@@dreampinkreel Right? the fact that some people call her overrated yet can only name 4 songs from her. like how you know she overrated without even listening to her chilee
18+ hours a day? that’s cap. but other than that i totally agree she’s legendary
The energy I felt at the BTS LA concerts... I genuinely will be missing that feeling forever. They are amazing performers and the performances are insane.
Omfg I didn't get the chance to go but my friend said that it felt unreal because of how much energy & passion she felt from both the boys and fans. After a week the concert ended, my friend was still shell shocked and couldn't believe what she actually witnessed.....someday I'll be part of that crowd 🥲
I was looking for this comment! I recently went to the bts concert and Vegas and it was unreal with all the army bombs, performances and speeches! The pcd is real haha
Yes!! Being surrounded by the lightsticks and other people who were just as passionate about the music as you was such an amazing experience! It doesn't need to be said but they sound so good live and are great performers, no two performances are the same for them! Hope they come back to L.A soon!
Even some fans, says that seeing BTS live is a religious experience. Also, BTS literally give everything to the point that they just need a FUCKING BREATH MASK, DO YOU IMAGINE THAT?(sorry, I just can't imagine that fact)
tbh every boyband has the same kinda screaming teen energy, not just BTS. not saying it's a bad thing though.
Two best performers I've seen in concert: Beyoncé and BTS. The music is elevated to another level with the showmanship and charisma of the artist, and then there is the audience of enthusiastic and devoted fans who create this crazy energy loop between the artist and audience... those concerts were religious experiences.
I went to bts one they dance yes, but live vocals are very heavily auto-toned also the backup song playing makes it harder to hear the live
very few artists nowadays break a sweat and dance for their shows. these two are different.
you dont even have to be there in person to feel the energy of these two great artists. they command the stage- it’s impossible to take your eyes off of them. i saw bts in november and the energy was electric, just amazing. both bey and bts justify the size of their huge stage.
i don’t know about BTS.
@@sorakun1021 Umm no they're not I've been to many bts concerts they don't use auto tune
@@sorakun1021 i have never heard the autotune you say in a live performance, and the backing track goes from being not overbearing at all to not there depending on the stage at which the show is in terms of energy (which they keep up to 110% up until the very end)
bts live vocals are godly, i still remember singularity and outro:tear shocking my core
Michael Jackson just standing there with people passing out will always make me laugh 💀💀 another classic video!
The Aura of that Man was just different, otherworldly
imo Beyonce is the greatest living performer. She switches every performance up, has incredible stage performance, her interaction with the crowd is so effortlessly charismatic and to TOP IT ALL OFF her choreography is unmatched!! She is a beast and no one alive matches her.
And nobody dead neither
@@siri3848 Michael Jackson > but besides that it’s tough to beat her
Kanye?
Says someone who has never seen Koda Kumi perform live
@@siri3848 Ever heard of Michael Jackson? Lol.
I was an attendee of Bey-chella, and still cry every-time someone brings up the performance. That's how much it changed my life
I could not agree more with everything you said. I always say Beyoncé ruined performances for me because I can no longer appreciate anything but the best. I need more than standing and singing, I need to FEEL the music within. She does such an amazing job with her craft, truly the greatest performer
I agree with this so much!! Her stage presence is the most demanding I've ever seen and it's so signature to her, no other artist comes close to that.
I haven't seen any of them live (yet!) but Doja Cat, BTS and Chloe x Halle are some of the artists I really want to see live because of how incredible they are at performing. I just *know* some of their songs would hit so much harder if I could experience them live. I felt that when I saw Ariana and I've never been the same since. Twenty One Pilots' Trench tour was also an amazing experience, the crowd was probably the best one I've been a part of so far.
Whether you like their music or not, Twenty One Pilots are one of the best bands when it comes to performing live. The energy at those concerts is unmatched.
Chloe x Halle's quarantin performances were the highlight of 2020. Their vocals are truly out of this world
@@glorgen fr tho, especially during the trench era, and the scaled and icy livestream was actually pretty sick
I went to see BTS live and it was to date, the best concert I’ve ever been to. They’re amazing performers and put on a great show, highly recommend if you can get a ticket
@@whyareyousubscribedlmao52 man I would love to see Bts live especially since I've heard that Jhope is a phenomenal peformer and he's my favorite. But they just keep on getting popular I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get tickets haha
i saw injury reserve in october performing BTTIGTP and it was one of the best live shows i’ve ever been to. everyone was just on the same exact level and feeling the same emotions. highly recommend
Damn, lucky mf 😄. Hopefully I’ll see them live one day 🙏
Wish you had a chance to see them w groggs man. Their "Arena Tour" was nuts. They also did a pop up show in LA called "Let There Be Light". They gave everyone special glasses to watch the light show while they performed. Nuts
saw injury reserve when they toured their self titled and it was definitely the best show i've ever been to
I'm literally going to go see them later this year, I'm so excited
hi nick green
I’ve seen Beyoncé and Tyler perform live and both artists DEFINITELY know how to captivate an audience and utilize their stage presence. Beyoncé performs for 2+ hours with the endurance and stamina of athletes, for multiple costume changes, effortless choreography, and seamless vocals. Tyler is so hype, funny and interactive with fans during shows, his stage settings are detailed/niche, & he truly puts ALL his energy into the songs. There was never a dull moment watching him.
I wish you had mentioned Britney Spears cuz for the first 5 or so years of her career no one could deny her performance capabilities. From the crystal nude reveal to the slave 4 u choreo PLUS later holding a live anaconda, to kissing Madonna onstage- and those are only the popular ones, like she just killed it everytime. Hell dare I say even her infamous 2007 VMA Performance, at her worst moment, even that shit kept people talking. To this day it’s the only memorable thing from that night. Even when she had almost no stage presence, she still had the world talking. Icon tingz
I guess he just doesn't really follow her music or career, but i agree with you
Thanks for mentioning so I know not to get my hopes up 😂
I am such huge fan of the Reputation Stadium Tour. It's on Netflix and it's so worth checking out! Taylor killed it.
And to think that people said it would flop, it was absolutely outstanding
Was so disappointed he had TS in the thumb and didn't mention it.
ua-cam.com/video/026nyouJaeo/v-deo.html
@@TheMistOfThePast This disappointed me too, why have her in the thumbnail if you're not gonna mention her?
I hope Netflix isn’t the only way I’ll get to watch her live
Seeing Beychella live was the pinnacle of performances for me. I do think had covid not been a thing, a lot of artists would be trying to reach and even top that performance, but the pandemic kind of reset everything and artists have to basically relearn the art of performing.
i've seen beyonce twice and it was the most surreal experience in my life, that woman is legendary
I love tyler’s live “new magig wand” preformance. From him starting off with a small piece of earfquake, to transitioning into his most violent part of his album. Mind you in a crowd of old folk. All with fire, uncomfortable vocals, out of the ordinary backup dancers, and busting some sick moves in the process. You can even see him take a hit of his asthma medication at the moment where he isn’t singing and the camera almost cuts away from him. So much energy, bravo
One thing about Beyoncé is she puts on a SHOW. She rehearses, she executes the runs effortlessly and serves looks while doing it. The greatest performer/entertainer of ALL TIME
bro… jackie wilson, james brown, michael jackson… no them, no beyonce. but of our time, valid
@@georgetester she studied the greats then did it better.
@@siri3848 let’s not
@@whoasked6696 she said what she said ma'am
Michael Jackson is way better
when michael jackson was at the wembley in 88 and he preformed human nature , that shit was the best thing i've ever seen in my life
Florence + the Machine is incredible live. I saw her a few years ago, and the whole time she’s singing, she’s dancing across the stage and twirling around on her bare feet. The way she dances doesn’t feel choreographed (I don’t think it is honestly), like she just moves to the music and let’s it flow through her. When she preformed at Coachella in 2015, she asked members of the audience to embrace one another, and to wave their hats, their shoes, their shirts in the air. The crowd was so into her performance and sure enough they did. She then took her own shirt off, jumped off the stage, and ran around the crowd singing the rest of the song. It wasn’t until her set ended, that she realized she must have landed on her foot wrong when she jumped off the stage, and turns out she broke it! But she was so into the performance that she didn’t even notice! Her energy and presence just absolutely takes my breath away. I can’t wait for her next tour.
Huge fan of Florence and The machine. Florence is just ethereal, I saw her throughout the entirety of her career and she is consistently amazing. Saw her for my birthday at the O2 Arena in London in November, she broke her foot and still danced, ran everywhere and went into the crowd for SIX more songs!
In my opinion, I feel like this is why Kpop has gotten so big too. So much of the music is about the performance of it all, like costumes, choreography, and staging.
I saw The Weeknd's Starboy concert in 2017. Dude got grown men singing with him, just amazing.
great vid and topic! there's a clip of michael jackson's first ever moonwalk onstage that's one of my faves ever. the crowd takes a second, having no idea what they are looking at, and then just start shrieking lol. absolutely electric moment.
It's funny because it's probably his worst moonwalk but there's this magic about the moment that makes it incredibly iconic.
beyonce and jay z at global citizen was insane, I also loved ed sheeran's performance, his whole stripped down thing is really cool and really takes acoustic live to another level
BTS put on INCREDIBLE performances. Like, mind blowing. It’s truly an experience getting to watch them perform live.
YES
Yes, seen them live 2 times, it was an experience.
I’ve seen beyoncé live two times and those were some of the best moments in my life thus far. Not being able to ever see MJ live is a heartbreak i will have to live with forever. edit: also kendrick is top tier live as well
I need to say Taylor Swift live man, the performances I’ve seen of her online are incredible. She is a HIGHLY underrated performer!
I’ve been lucky enough to see her twice (on the red tour and the reputation tour), and that woman is a POWERHOUSE. She knows exactly how to captivate a crowd, whether it’s with dancers or completely alone with a guitar or piano. Her stage presence is so underrated
yes! seeing her on her red tour was my first concert and i was just blown away which set me up for disappointment finding out that most other artists get nowhere close to the energy and effort she puts in
Taylor Swift is most expensive artist for a reason*
Hayley Williams is one of the best live performers of all time. Paramore as a whole is phenomenal, but the presence she has and the way she commands a crowd is just insane, and then she delivers vocal performances that are often better than the studio versions on top of it. Watch let the flames begin at BBC radio 1 big weekend 2013 and tell me how this woman can deliver one of the most chilling performances lying on her back on the stage.
I still remember the paramore concert in 2008, I think it was. Gosh.
I collapsed right before decode, but it’s still one of my favourite concerts I went to ♥️
Pink is an artist that needs to be mentioned among the greatest performers of all time. Incredible live singer and performer!
Yes!
The fact that you didn't include Whitney Houston in here is a CRIME! Not only does she have the GREATEST vocals of ALL TIME but she also could COMMAND A STAGE! She was an incredible performer.
Good rest her soul 😔
Her live performances in front of the troops is untouchable
True
Her and Michael are 2 people I wished I could’ve seen in their lifetime.
she has one where she stood for 2 minutes in silence to nothing but cheers
Little Mix are underrated live performers. They don’t get much attention outside Europe but people have flown across the world to see them. No two performances are the same and their vocals are always live and often better than the recording. They do big dance numbers but they also sing ballads and they also do a capella. They truly do it all and command the stage every time. I wish they got more exposure!
After being a fan of Michael Jackson for a decade now, I still get amazed by how much energy he had when performing, how he gave LITERALLY everything out when dancing, singing...wow damn...
BTS are INCREDIBLE live performers. The dancing, the stages, the music, the charisma and just the ENERGY…so so good
you literally brought up so many of my favorite live performances from the past year. tyler's bet performance was mind blowing
The Goo Goo Dolls performing Iris live in the pouring rain is pretty dang cool
That does sound pretty cool, I'll have to look this up!
What's up struggler
Hey Scott :D
Michael Jackson gave us passion, vocals, dance and BROADWAY he was doing literally magic on stage. He is the blueprint and why artists now are putting so much effort on their music videos and live performances
Long live the king of music, the GOAT
The Weeknd has the best male voice in music today, probably one of the greatest voices ever. When you hear him live it hits different.
Bruno mars
he uses auto-tune too much.
His voice is good but that is a reach
@@MarcusFrederiksen I totally agree. I saw The Weeknd in 2017 (live) after being a fan for 5 years, and it honestly was underwhelming and disappointing. Super nasaly, almost like he had to force the high notes so hard to the point it compromised his overall voice in general. I kinda stopped being a fan after that.
Meh
K-pop artists almost always put on a show for their concerts. I’m never bored watching performances from these artists. The choreography, costumes, lights, stage presence, etc. BTS’s 2019 MMA performance is a prime example
thissss
Fr that is the greatest korean award show performance ever. 38 minutes for a single artist. Wow. Next is Bigbang in MAMA 2015.
@@RashidAli-hw6cp Award show? That was a concert with some special guests lol
i was afraid someone would say this. kpop artist are mainly performers more than singers or anything else. and the thing is they only be dancing, it’s all precise, practiced, & staged. unlike the legends on here they don’t really change it up.
@@corpedatlanta I’m gonna have to disagree. I don’t know what artists you have seen but most that I’ve seen aren’t just performers, they are artists all around. Having choreography (which I have seen artists spice it up for the stage) isn’t a bad thing. Obviously there’s a spectrum just as much as there is with American artists. You can’t generalize it
Taylor's Reputation tour was something else entirely! She made tour versions of some songs and completely elevated them.
Yess I was so blown away by the reputation tour, the album was particularly well suited to an amazing tour
That tour was iconic and still to this day the highest grossing us tour of all time
On the Run II Tour, the first time i got to see Beyoncé live and I really can’t even describe the feeling. she knows how to put on a show!! i was captivated the whole time😭😭
I'd like to mention how coldplay is probably the best band in this century when it comes to performing... the attention to details, like specific shaped confetti (example: a sky full of stars getting white stars confetti), each song has a certain screen filter or visuals, the four of them make sure to walk all the stages (they have three: A, a runway, B and C that is nearer to seats of the venue/stadium), the xylobands that have different colors depending on the song (the whole stage going all yellow during yellow is magical). I grew up listening to them, but only got to see them for the first time in 2016 and let me tell you, i had spent 5 whole years hating paradise, but that song live is BRILLIANT, the arrangement they did for the a head full of dreams tour was insane, because it was the original version (the synths not being as loud as in the studio version) + tiesto remix + the instruments on top of it, the whole stadium went wild, it felt like you were at a party with thousands of people, ever since then I only listen the live version from that tour and even watch the performance from the live in são paulo in their youtube channel, because it was that impactful for me! They're amazing performers, incredibly talented in their respective instruments, with amazing stage productions and chris is so charismatic and so willing to engage with the crowd for the show (even more when he goes out of his way to hype the crowd in their native languages, instead of english!), i recommend anyone to go to a coldplay concert, it's an amazing experience and just overall wholesome!
Yesss 1000%
I loove Taylor Swift and there's one of her concerts on Netflix. I've watched it a dozen times and it doesn't get boring ever. This woman has so much energy in her voice, more than the studio version will ever be able to record and the choreographies are amazing. Still, she mostly dances in her own weird way which makes it so much better. Visibly putting her heart and sould into performing and it's amazing to see
The reputation era was just iconic i can't wait for it's TV version. My favorite performance of her is 'I Did Something Bad' at the AMA's 2018
@@user-yu3jz7qy7u oh by the way your pp is a picture of Little Mix and they are incredible at performing, so underrated
@@ts9517 right they're crazy talented especially the performances of secret love song on the search is great. they should get more recognition.
The Long Pond Studio sessions on Disney Plus was incredible - I know it’s not quite a live performance, but it was as close as we’ll get for now
I was at Taylor’s Reputation Stadium Tour and she was amazing. So much energy and there were costume changes, stage changes, guest acts, etc. Even my bf who is a metal fan was impressed
Bree Runway is an unbelievably good performer - I was at her headline show in London a few months back, the stage was really small and she had just 2 dancers up w her but she had this whole room going CRAZY! MY first concert and one of my favourite memories of 2021, can't wait to see her again later this year
YUP!!!! she’s the Next One
A really good perfomances that I really love are from a japanese band called One Ok Rock. The maist vocalist(Taka) is really insane with his raspy but clean and emotional voice(specially the high notes with this raspy quality). Also, the drummer and the bass just go insane(literally a camera is focusing on the drummer, and you see his passion and love for the music).They also make orchestra version of their song, I'm only going to say that it's epic and they make their music mor epic in a live space.
Their songs are average at best (where compared to other J-Rock songs) but they can perform. Their stage presence is 🔥
taylor swift’s reputation tour was probably the highlight of my life. the voiceovers, lighting, energy, and vocals were insane. she was soaring over my head in a snake i mean come on man
Beyonce is probably the most memorable concert I’ve been to. I saw her live for the first time on the Formation Tour in Chicago the day I graduated high school.
We were up so high in the nosebleeds when she closed the show with Halo, we saw her fireworks and the fireworks in the distance going off at Navy Pier
how... do you not miss bro ffs. Another Classic.
I saw Jeremy Zucker a week before I got married last year and it was my first concert back from the panini and let me just tell you... the emence happiness and joy that came over my body when he started playing my wife and my favorite song. I couldn't help but just bawl my eyes out. loud as fuck. people definitely starring at me. didn't care. JUST EXISTING IN THAT MOMENT... by golly... I'm tearing up just thinking about it. His performance and band were all top knot musicians and some even members of his family. the entire experience was just so touching to my soul. I can't wait to see him again.
Omggggg! I LOVE Jeremy Zucker, that man got some kind of unique talent, istg. His music seems so simple yet so special, I love everything about it, the concepts, visuals, lyrics, production, creativity and him as an artists, his vocals and the way he ties everything together is just great. I can’t even imagine how I’d feel if I saw him live. I’m from Dominican Republic so i don’t think he’ll come here, but I hope someday I get the chance to go to one of his concert, even if it means I have to travel to Alaska.

it is the funny music man
I love every single live performance that Beyoncé does.
I'll have to say, BTS' stage presence is unbelievable. It saddens me that many artists in this generation undermine the importance of being powerhouse live performers. It's easy to see the difference in quality when you watch BTS performances and other male artist performances back-to-back. In the era where women dominate the music/entertainment industry (rightfully so), it's very delightful to watch BTS take the stage and show off their charisma. It's easy to see that they put hard work and utmost effort into pleasing a crowd. I recommend anyone to check out BTS MMA 2018 - 2020 performances. They're nothing short of amazing.
selena quintanilla's last live performance at astrodome is one of my favorite live performances to watch. beautiful voice and beautiful woman. she had fun on that stage and so did the crowd. ❤
Selena is an artist I wish I could experience live, she had the energy!
I did not expect you to acknowledge Lady Gaga (don’t forget she can play piano too!) or Beyoncé and I’m SO HAPPY YOU DID 😭! They are two of the best live performers in the mainstream and two of the best live performers I’ve seen live! I do think vocalists like Aretha, Whitney, Amy Winehouse and Celine should be acknowledged too! Also FKA twigs is entrancing live 😳
every BTS's live performance is a piece of art
The key to being a great performer is the understanding of how music and the visual representation interrelate. Yes the best live performers are artists that are skilled in every aspect most noticeably MJ and Beyonce. but every singer or rapper can put a great show if you realise that you literally just need to look at your skill asset and look where you lack. Your voice is on the weaker side? No problem focus on dancing like Britney. You can't dance neither? Make sure your stage production help create an experience like Taylor. You can't dance? Let your voice shine like Adele or rap like Kanye. But it is true that you have to excel at some kind of skill... it can be like I mentioned dancing, stage production, singing, rapping or even playing some instrument, every genre and crowd has its own ''requirements''.
By this point Nathan Zed has dropped more classics than Mozart, love this guy
Definitely Beyoncé. I had to travel to a different state to see her Formation World Tour and it was worth it. Not only to see the album come to life in a different way, but also being in the crowd with all the other Beyoncé fans. So amazing.
if you ever get the chance i highly recomend going to a bts concert, the energy the boys put into their performance and how strongly the crowd reacts to it,,, it's just one of my best memories ever
I have never been to a Beyoncé concert my life, because I don't even live in the US and she never comes to my country. But, man! I watch her UA-cam performance videos (BeyChella, Formation Tour, MTV VMA 2016, Billboard Music Award 2011) at least once a week to remind myself what a legendary performance should look like. In my opinion, she has topped everyone who came before her, every frigging one!!!
I would literally pay with my blood to see that woman live before she retires.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Nathan for putting all the songs used or mentioned in the description 👏🏽
No I don't got time nigga
@@joey_youtube you had time to reply with that tho 🤔
I went to a Tinashe concert this past September, the way she remade the video for "Bouncin" with the choreography on a trampoline??? Undefeated
I went to her show in October! She’s amazing love and that part was dope!!
I've been regular in concerts and festivals of different music genres since 1986, watching legendary artists, and BTS still managed to blow my mind with their performances.
your videos about music are among my faves on the internet no cap THEY ARE PEAK
one of the worst things about this pandemic for me has been that i was 14 when it started, now i’m 16 and i’ve become a huge music fan over the last couple years but i still haven’t been able to go to my first concert. really hoping i can go to one soon cause i really can’t wait to experience that live
Can’t wait for you to experience that 💚
You have my sympathy. You’re right in the age zone where most people start hitting live shows.
Live music is coming back. Slowly. I saw seven shows in 2019, none in 2020, and only one last year. But, that one was such a relief!
U just like me
Heavily recommend Playboi Carti if your into rap. If you like pop/rock check out Ariana Grande and Twenty One Pilots.
Seeing Twenty One Pilots at Red Rocks was incredible the energy the entire time was unmatched, bur I think The 1975's use of lighting on their tours made them my favorite show I'd ever seen.
seen 1975 and TOP live multiple times and they are some of my favourite shows ever!!
yes!! i’ve seen Twenty One Pilots 3 times and each time their energy radiated throughout the stadium, so good.
keep up the analysis' of everything that relates to music besides the actual tunes. I really enjoy. Glad you cornered this market.
I saw Sza last year and the feeling was just amazing. The Ctrl album has been such a huge part of my life and has been in my rotation since it came out. Getting to see it live was everything and more. It was my first concert in forever and was in the new city that I never went to before. I also tried sn edible for the first time ever and I felt like just Sza and I were at the concert. I also love any of Beyoncé live performance and particularly love Kanye’s performance of his albums.
i saw little simz live once, and the energy she brought just took the song to the next level. of all the people on that stage that night she absolutely killed it
I'm sooo happy you said that, I'm actually going to her concert that she's having later this year (the date was rescheduled due to the pandemic). I'm really looking forward to it!!
The Little Simz show I went to a month ago was so good, was so much energy in the room. Definitely the best performance I’d seen in a long while 🔥
being a part of a collective experience is a vibe. i can't decide if small kinda packed venues are better or like giant ass stadium concerts. i mean, if it's a small venue and everyone is basically a stan and the crowd is like really receptive even to the opener that's such an amazing energy. but at like a stadium show (where my seats are in a different zip code from the artist bc i've had a tragic life so far) there's just so many people and it's a different type of amazing energy.
I genuinely appreciate the nice present when you post, you give us this present filled with intricate thought and nostalgic memories. You really are one of the best creators out there man keep it up !
Man your videos about albums are the best
I re-watched the reputation stadium tour live performance on netflix just yesterday. Taylor Swift really doesn't get enough credit for her stage presence. There's also a couple videos online of malfunctions, and the way she gets people hyped by singing an acoustic version of her songs with no instrumentals at all while being stuck suspended above the crowd is crazy. Critics said that tour would flop, but it ende up being the highest ever grossing tour in the US and North America.
She doesn't tour like that anymore, due to family reasons, but damn, I wish I could see that live
The reputation tour was just a few years ago, so it's a bit too soon to really think she doesn't tour like that anymore, imo! I feel that she will but that the Lover Fest setup was definitely for family reasons, as you said. Maybe for some experimentation, too. But yeah, with the pandemic having stalled things right at the beginning of this new stage, we really don't have a lot of info on what she'll do next. It's pretty exciting but also a bit nerve-wracking lol!
Nathan Zed is like the Kendrick Lamar of UA-cam. doesn’t drop videos often but when he does, they are FIRE. quality >>>> quantity. 👏🏼🙏🏼
Beyoncé Formation World Tour is my favorite concert experience!!! simply no one does it like her
I agree
The one artist which will always be my favorite performers since the beginning would be BTS. alot of people try to segregate an artist and a performer but they are one of those people who bring that together. The music is in Korean but I still feel every part of it , because the connection they make with the fans, nothing can top it
I remember watching the 7hr compilation banbangcon in 2020, the red bullet tour footages, the love yourself footages, the black swan performance from sofi, all the musters till date and they still carry the same amount of energy, passion. Thats what happens when you are happy and love the music u made. They know insanely well how to work up the crowd, the bts medley of 4-5 songs is a big proof
The best part is that the change of vibes one moment u would be listening to taehyungs neo soul singularity and the next moment outro tear will pop out with the skillful rap and just in a moment young forever will make u cry
5 of my favorite moments would have to be
1. The young forever surprise where the whole WEMBLEY STADIUM sang to them
2. In sofi 3 months back where they traveled to the back of the stadium to interact with fans
3. Jungkook flying around the stadium to go close to fans singing euphoria and looking at the songs lyrics it made sense
4. The epiphany performance where the whole WEMBLEY was screaming "im the one I should love" it was surreal
5. Obviously the muster performances where they switch everything up.
i love this video but i can't believe you didn't bring up the legend of performing miss britney spears herself, she is literally the only person that had a chance to sing live on stage with madonna and michael jackson 🥺 and her choreos are on another level as well tbh
BTS has some INCREDIBLE live performances. All of their concerts are something to behold, from their dancers to the visuals to their stage presence and the way they interact with the crowd. Absolutely something to see at least once. Some of the best performers of this generation. The energy of the crowd is unreal and they perform for 3 hours straight, going back and forth between high energy and lower key. Sometimes they even have a live band depending on the tour.
All I could think while watching this video was them, they have insane stage presence, they know how to engage with the crowd and overall the choreographies, performance and visuals are 100/100 🔥
💯! Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE should see them live at least once even if they’re not a fan of them. Their concerts are insanity, I feel bad for people who haven’t experienced songs like Idol live, the energy of the members and crowd is next level.
A friend of mine went to their show in LA and livestream a bit,I literally felt the energy trough it,they are really REALLY good performers,and I think it’s really hard to deny it
I was gonna say exactly that
I watch their performance in mama 2018 man it’s outstanding I can’t imagine how it is seen them live!!!
I haven't been able to see BTS live yet but I have seen them perform for their online concerts a couple of times and I don't even have the words to describe how good they are, it was like I was their at the concert in person. I could never get bored of their performances, and there's this feeling of having to go to all the tour stops because they're that good. Legit woke up at 4am so I could watch some of their online concerts and have never been disappointed!! People travel across the world just to see their concerts.
Please never stop making these Zed! You literally take our thoughts and emotions about music and present them to us in a way we can process. This series anchors so much for me musically. Love from Kenya
