Melanie Martinez

Just saw her last night, 9/23/16, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC! Doors opened a little late, around 8:15. The line setup was not great. Tons of people were lined up in front of a parking lot, and the manager demanded we move out of the way. Other than that the security kept it pretty good. Inside, my friends and I were squished, hot, and had to stand up the entire time. "General admission" means the floor. I'm not complaining though. We didn't have to be in line for hours if we wanted a good place in the crowd, we got there at 6:45 and we were about 20 feet away from the stage! Opening act came on first, a band named Handsome Ghost, and did 6 songs. Finally at 9, Melanie came on and she performed all of her songs, excluding Play Date, Gingerbread Man, Bittersweet Tragedy and Dead To Me. During "Tag, You're It" and "Milk and Cookies" she brought the Wolf from her double feature music video for those songs. The Wolf tried to hurt Melanie in TYI but she fought back in MAC and killed the wolf by kicking and pushing him onto the ground. During "Mrs. Potato Head" she brought a plastic surgeon Bunny who put silicone breasts on her! In "Soap" bubble were blown into the crowd. In "Cake", her final song, she stood on top of a cake! When all was over, the band, who were dressed like animals, threw some freebies into the crowd! All in all, a great experience!

After seeing her on the voice, naturally I became a fan of hers, her voice is stunning and has this sort of gentle, dark vibe, how could I not become a fan.

From New York, USA. Melanie Martinez has a unique sound to her, with her debut released EP titled 'Dollhouse' I have begun to like the sound in which she is putting out there, it is very different. Her sound at the moment appears to be dark and have a touch of emotion to it such as the song 'Bittersweet Tragedy' it comes across as emotional but the chords being played are minor but the way it all comes together it invokes emotion and a hint of terror as the gentle vocals and lyrics soar along the beat.

When Melanie took to the stage everybody roared, she sounds just as good live as she did on the television screen, when she performed 'Dollhouse' the entire audience sang the chorus along with her, this is really good to see because it shows she has already gained herself a strong following! She is absolutely beautiful on the stage, refusing to remain stationary, she moves around naturally and it is not even awkward. She is simply a natural!

Melanie Martinez will be a global act in a matter of years and to that I praise it but I also say buy tickets now while they remain friendly and not sold out!

The show was incredible (at least from what I could see). I loved everything, the dancing, the acting, the costumes, the background, the props. Everything was awesome. I could really see that everyone involved in the performance did their best and they all deserve so much credit for their work! I really appreciate that it wasn’t just a concert where you listened to the music, it was intact a very visual concert it even had a scent to it which I personally just loved! But even though everything was great I had a few problems. First off I could barely see anything at all, I’m not the tallest person and there were people who towered over me just coming and standing right in front of me, and it’s a shame. Since I barely saw anything it kinda made my experience worse, I was really looking forward to seeing the show but I couldn’t even if I tried. Second off it was really really hard to stand the entire concert so a few brakes for our and Melanie’s sake would be great, I could hear that she needed some water and a cough drop at at about the same time I needed a sit down and some water. Otherwise amazing show I totally recommend it!!! <3

WOW. I don't even know where to start, so I'll just start from the beginning of everything.
To start, I was lucky enough to meet Melanie. Unlike the last M&G I went to, this one was a lot more intimate- you as an individual got your own time with Melanie and your own photo rather than a group photo. When it was my turn, Melanie was so sweet and adorable! Our photos turned out great (which is relieving to be honest), and after the M&G, everyone got a free poster and a pink mug. Then, a person who worked for Mel (who I knew, they got me into the show) gave me the Cry Baby sweatershirt and album cover shirt, as well as a necklace. Now to the actual performance:
The opening act was a band called Handsome Ghost, who was incredible. After the show, my dad and I complimented them, and they were so kind as well as talented. Melanie, however, was unreal. She was so incredible, and nice to the audience. AND she surprised everyone with a performance of Teddy Bear as well as Cake for encore! I would go to her show again in a heartbeat. I seriously recommend that you all go see her while she's still touring. She is an incredible performer.

It Was Amazing!! I Loved It Start To Finish. I Went With My Brother, My BFF, Her Cousin, My Brothers Gf And Her Sister. It Started With Naaz Opening The Show. After The Show I Listened To Some Of Her Songs And She Is Really Good! Then They Got Ready And The Show Started. Melanie Martinez Live Is Amazing. She Did All The Songs From K-12, 3 Songs From Crybaby (Sippy Cup, Alphabet Boy And Mad Hatter) And Fire Drill! She Acted Out The Movie (K-12) And The Dancers Were Incredible! During Mad Hatter For Example, One Of The Dancers Was Out And They Were Flipping And Cartwheeling Everywhere! She Even Flipped Onto The Seat And Landed Perfectly!!! I Loved When She Sang Recess. It's Such An Elegant Song And The Performance Inhanced The Elegant Feel. Show And Tell And Nurses Office Made It Feel Like You Were In The Movie (So Did Orange Juice, Strawberry Shortcake, Class Fight, Wheels On The Bus And Lunchbox Friends). Lots Of Costume Changes Too Which Was Cool. Overall, I Absolutely Loved It! 5 Stars. I Would Definitely Go Again If She Came Back. I Love Her Music. Welp, See You Again When I Review In Another 4 Years!

So, Melanie Martinez is absolutely one of the most amazing artists EVER and her concert certainly didn’t disappoint. Her backup dancers were outstanding, the tv screen graphics were beautiful, and her voice was even better in-person. There was a tv screen at the back playing really cool graphics from the K-12 movie, but the best part about them was, in between performances, there was a substitute teacher at the K-12 school teaching spreading positive messages about self-love and self worth, which was really inspiring and lovely. Also, during Orange Juice and Strawberry Shortcake, there was scented air released into the crowd that smelled like oranges and strawberry shortcake. That was probably one of the coolest parts. It made everything alive and interesting. I’ve never seen anyone do anything like that before. Most incredible part of the concert was Melanie herself. She’s a goddess anyway, but seeing her in person, singing, truly makes you realize how talented and sweet and absolutely amazing she is.

Melanie Martinez amassed her following after an appearance on the popular reality TV show The Voice. Unlike many of its competitors, The Voice is very much about showcasing live ability and talent and it is this reason Melanie got so far in the competition.

Her smooth tones and delectable vocal seemed to be a breath of fresh air on the reality format and was instantly likened to contemporaries including Ellie Goulding, Marina and the Diamonds and Charli XCX. The latest single 'Doll House' shows real promise as Melanie has not dismissed any of her uniqueness and therefore the fanbase has remained loyal. Her live show is a showcase of what is to come and it all has startling potential and excitement. There are twangy melodies on 'Carousel' and the ability to let her vocal shine on the balladic 'Bittersweet Tragedy'. The reaction to 'Doll House' proves Martinez also has the support behind which is one of the most difficult things to attain when starting out on the live circuit.

It was FUN at Melanie Martinez's concert that when my friends and I having a good time and Melanie Martinez's concert was okay and a lot of people do love Melanie Martinez and what I feel Melanie Martinez's concert is excited and happy and same my friends feel too and too many people went to Melanie Martinez's concert so she sings Dollhouse and everyone screaming and other people were crying at her concert and she hugs me and my friends hug her too and I totally like Melanie Martinez so much because she's a good singer and I think that Melanie Martinez should have every year at her concert I love u Melanie Martinez so much❤❤❤❤

Amazing!
The dancing, singing, choreography and the short breaks between songs were so creative!
The only problem I, and many others had, was the amount of time we had to wait for the actual show to start.

Everyone arrived around 19.30 (7:30PM) and the show didn’t start until probably around 1 hour later because of the introduction singer. Said singer wasn’t bad, but she wasn’t the person we paid to see and she was on stage for way too long for everyone’s liking; people were starting to sit on the floor because of the amount of time and boredom with waiting for the main performer.

I have been a fan of Melanie ever since her album Crybaby was released back in 2015, so being able to see her was a dream come true. I have never been to a standing room only concert and it was a lot of fun because by the end we were so close to the stage! A memorable part was that like 3 people passed out or threw up which I thought was interesting, but other than that she had so much to show and give us. I could really feel the emotions that she portrayed in each of her songs. The opening band Lauren Ruth Ward was amazing too! Overall this concert is a must see and I had so much fun.
