Halsey

I started listening to Halsey in the summer, as a lot of people that have the same music taste as me had been raving about her on twitter, tumblr and instagram. So i checked her music out on spotify and fell in love.

I then told my best friend about her and she too quickly became obsessed. When she released tickets for a London show we bought them straight away.

The effects were amazing, she looked amazing and her voice was incredible! Also, the two support acts (Flor and BØRNS) were really good.

I recommend getting standing tickets, as you will have a much better view (also the O2 Academy Brixton had the floor as a slope so you had a good view from wherever you were standing) and getting there when doors open as the queue moves fast and you'll be able to have a good spot and see the supporting acts.

I really loved her performance of New Americana, Ghost, Young God, Hurricane, Drive and Gasoline!!

The setlist was really well thought out and she was charming, beautiful and funny! One of the best shows I've been to!

There wasn't a massive variety of merch but, as someone who goes to concerts a lot, it was a really really good show. 100% worth the money!

The moment the bass kicked in and the lights went down, I could feel her energy in the air. All of her love, all of her peace was radiating throughout the ballroom and crashing like waves into each and every single persons chest. When she finally appeared in a red jumpsuit and a black top, my heart stopped. Everything in the world came to a pause and she was there, giving her life on stage. After several costume changes and adjustments and beautiful stage presence, Halsey began to address some issues that have come about in the US and in doing so, she reminded us all to be proud. Proud of our race, sexuality, gender and everything in between. And when she looked out into the crowd, scanning our faces, passing her love individually to every pair of eyes she met, I almost felt as though her eyes caught me, way up in the balcony beyond human sight, and I swear she smiled.

Not only is Halsey's stage presence intensely welcoming and energetic, but her voice is absolutely stunning. Even with all her movement and dancing she still manages to sound almost identical to her recordings. I have so much love and respect for her talent and I hope to see her again live very soon.

New Jersey pop singer Ashley Nicolette Frangipane better known by her stage persona of Halsey is the next in a long line of icy cool teen stars attempting to break out of the States. Although she is only 20 years old, there is something quite old headed and mature about Halsey. Perhaps it is due to the fact you can really understand the mixed inspirations of Slick Rick, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Alanis Morisette, The Cure and 2Pac when watching her live.

There is clear adoration for the indie scene that she grew up surrounded by whilst the hip hop bass lines are turned up to the max during the show. She has a great confidence too for somebody so young as she enthuses the crowd with ease and makes them jump along to tracks they have not even heard of. The debut album is set for release this year so therefore a number of tracks are showcased tonight and there is a strange electricity that seems to point towards this being one of the most exciting releases to come.

Halsey was fucking amazing. It was a very fun show and I really liked that it was general admission. I waited in line in the cold for about 4 hours and there were around 150 to 200 people in front of me. When I got onto the venue everyone was really nice and I somehow worked my way up to 3rd row. There was a lot of pushing but that's to be expected at a general admission show. Olivver the kid went on first and he played about 5 songs his music was really good and even though the crowd didn't know him, we had a good time. Next was Young Rising Sons, Adam was very involved in the crowd and was always holding ours hands and signing to us. He handed a girl his mic for about 30 seconds was constantly making eye contact with people. Finally Halsey came on. She played 12 songs and fucking killed it. She had a lot of attitude and went all around the stage. She wasn't as involved in the crowd as YRS was but her show was fucking amazing

Halsey is truly amazing live. Her energy on stage was incredibly high throughout the entirety of the show: she never seems to get tired! Her voice sounds identical to that of the studio versions of her songs, even when she is jumping around and engaging with the crowd (interacting with the front row), and EVEN when the end of the show came, she still hit the notes effortlessly. Furthermore, her outfit changes were executed smoothly and quickly, not giving the crowd much time to even register her temporary disappearances. The lights and sounds also added to her performance (although I would say that there was quite a lot of fast flashing lights, which is bad for my head!). Overall, it was truly amazing, and she had everyone else tirelessly dancing and singing along through the entire concert. I would definitely go to see her again!

The best concert I've ever been to in my entire life... granted I've only been to 2... but Halsey has been my idol ever since I discovered her, and it was a dream come true seeing her life. If I get enough money I may go to her last concert at Madison Square Garden seeing as I'm originally from New York, and it would be cool to be able to say "yeah I went to the first concert and the last concert of her Final Installment" It is my dream come true, and I hope I can meet her one day... if I didn't cry enough at the concert from her being so amazing I can't even imagine meeting her!! But I 10/10 recommend you see her in concert. I can't stop posting about it everywhere, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat got SPAMMED with all my videos and pictures that I took. I can't wait to see her again! :)

Attended the second night of Halsey's residency at Webster Hall on Thursday (9th May). I was fortunate enough to get a ticket during the second round. (She had reclaimed prior tix from scalpers.) Her fan base is incredibly passionate about her, and tis easy to see why.

The majority of the set list covered her latest album, "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom". "Bad at Love" was a definite crowd pleaser. "Now or Never", "Sorry", "Walls Could Talk" and "Strangers" were additional gems. Though being in General Admission was an insane crush, I would gladly see her again.

She definitely fed off the energy of the crowd, and we returned it in spades. She effortlessly danced across WH's small stage. After remarking how far she was from her audience at one point, she then jumped into the crowd.

Halsey, she was absolutely amazing live. She spoke to the whole crowd and it felt like she really connected to the crowd. Her songs were amazing live and her dancing was breathtaking. The lights were as it was searching for the right crowd member to shine it's multicoloured brightness to illuminate oneself. But the lights were certainly not 'overdone' in any means. Halsey is a great person to who will try to take time to meet with the fans. In my personal experience I waited a couple hours outside to even catch another glimpse of her. When she came out she spoke again to us that were left about her experience and what really could you ask more of ? All and all I would definitely go to another one of her concerts if the opportunity came up again. Would recommend for any fan of hers.

I find it hard to put into words how amazing I felt at Halsey's Houston show on October 25th. There were fans of so many different races, sexualities, and ages, and once Halsey started singing it's as if the whole crowd became one person and we all just connected so deeply with the music and the artist. Halsey is one of the few artists who will go out of their way to communicate with their fans. She didn't just go up there, sing, and leave. She talked to us about love, heartache, and being strong in the face of hate and adversity and that just made her performance ten times more emotional and amazing for me. Not to mention, the special effects, dancing, and opening acts were breathtaking. Halsey can put on quite a show and I would strongly recommend going to see her live.

The concert was amazing. The stage was lit sooo well that even from far you could see it. It’s a must go to concert because in between songs Halsey sometimes has some really deep conversations with the audience and parts of it are very inspiring. In her concert yesterday in Wolf Trap Vienna she said that she doesn’t like being at the top away from the audience. That’s why she had a really pretty staircase that could take her closer to us. At one point she came walking down the side way of the crowd and everyone went crazy. She’s says that we’re all relatable no matter who you are: guy, girl someone’s girlfriend of ex. We can all relate in someway!! I could write an essay on this but it’ll be too long:)
