It's only mid-March and I can already state without a doubt this was the worst show of the year!
Ms Minaj didn't sing. Didn't even try to lip-sync. Over the entire concert she probably pretended to lip-sync 4 or 5 minutes, not more.
In between she actually muttered/wrapped a couple of sentences, rather annoyingly interrupting and asking some stupid “put your hands up” deejay to play another song.
She invited 5 other artists on stage, but each left a sub-par impression, wrapping a handful of sentences, no passion whatsoever, then strutting or dancing around the stage.
Usually when life singing is not an artist's strong suit, they try to put on a bit of a show. While Nicki’s show started promising with a unicorn background, there really was no follow-up. Quite a boring affair.
She arrived late on stage and there were annoyingly long breaks in between. There was no flow at all. Not sure if that was because she was stoned (like in her Brussels’ show the week before) or whether she totally didn’t care.
Summary: worst show of the year. Only positives were that the tickets were half-priced, and at least the audience tried to sing a bit.
I think that the show was great and very spectacular, but it was the exact same as every other show of this tour. I was expecting something more personal, that only us would get to experience, not only changing her lyrics to "Belgium won't you save me" which was already so sweet, but we know that she does the same everywhere else. Also the crowd honestly wasn't the best. I wanted to jump and shout all the time but I always was alone. The people around were so still and kind of disrespectful during the opening act and during Juice WRLD's performance, they could've at least showed a bit of interest even if they don't like their music. But Nicki was extraordinary as she has always been, even if she was 1 hour late it was worth it.
The Nicki Minaj show In Chula Vista, California was amazing!
I saw the "same" show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in late June. Rumor on the block was that the show at Staples Center was toned down due to it being a concert surrounding The BET Awards Weekend Events. The word on the street was TRUE.
Nicki's performance at the outdoor venue outside of San Diego was more than fun and fantastic, it was breath-taking and jaw-dropping.
Nicki had an electric energy that just filled you with awe. Her smile was alive, contagious, and sweet.
I found myself entertained by her silly antics when reverting back to songs from the beginning of her hip hop plight. Then the Mood changed to an upbeat dance tempo, and I found myself jumping up and down, and singing every word to her recent hit, 'Truffle Butter' from the most recent "Pink Print" album. More emotion was pulled from me when I found myself fighting back tears during her latest love ballad, 'Grand Piano'.
With countless hit records, and her sensational stage presence, Lil Wayne knew she was a star in the making when he heard her mixtape in 2009.
Nicki, I will never forget the musical talent you expressed that mid-August night at the Sleeptrain Amphitheater in Chula Vista, California. It was definitely, 'A MOMENT 4 LIFE' that I will never forget!
Three minor questions though:
1) Where was the costume with the feathered headdress that you promoted for the tour?
2) Where was Trey Songs?
3) Why Meek Mill???
Still LOVE YOU though Nicki!!!!
