Concert Review: Usher's OMG Tour .

Usher was incredible - he really knows how to pump up a crowd, including having one-on-one sexytime on-stage with one lucky lady, amazing theatrics, shirtless action_ He played all his hits, and I was beyond excited to see those four words "Peace up, A-Town down" leave his lips. I actually took my mom to this concert for Mother`s Day, and one thing we noticed was how diverse the crowd was - not merely in speed or ethnicity, but in age. There were 4-year-old children there with their parents, teens, college students, 60-year-old couples, high people, drunk people, hot messes, conservative people. the number goes on. It`s awesome to me how large Usher`s appeal is and how his music speaks to so many people. With all the masses in the arena, everyone seemed to be dancing together and simply enjoying each other`s company. It was truly a fun experience. Plus, Usher was so hawt - his vocals were insanely on point, his dance moves were shocking, and he also did an MJ tribute, skits with his dancers, flew over the crowd. I don`t need to give too much away, but he truly was an incredible performer.

As far as Akon goes, I was really expecting the worst. Luckily, I was proved wrong. Though I`m 99.9% positive his mic was turned off and he didn`t sing at all_He put on a very good show! He was exceedingly high-energy, he played the bongos, had an awful set, and was only so much FUN to be around! He showed off his roots, he was funny, he bare a little - really a great performer. Now I see his draw - his songs are fun and danceable, and mass are simply expecting a full time out of him, which is just what he gave us.

The Cataracs - I`m a big fan of them. However, I was a bit bemused by their set. I mean, their DJ set no question was incredible. I was eating that shet UP. But the bunch was not! It was almost like no one cared that often and they went on too early or something - the area was just filled, and the seats that were filled were not paid attention. I look alike the Cataracs may not have been set for an arena tour, even though upon hearing that they were on the OMG Tour I was super pumped. I don`t know, it was sort of weird, and I look like people didn`t understand what was passing on. They didn`t really move much either.

To sum things up - if you`re looking for a fun concert, this OMG Tour is a must-see. Especially if Dev is an opening act as well (she linked the go too!)

This is super late to post, but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone was wondering if they should go see Usher on his OMG Tour. The result is: HELL YES!
