Sam Smith

Sam Smith; the guy with the BEST male vocals in the UK right now Well what can i say. I have every respect and love in the world for this guy. For starters, the presence he brings to the stage just as he walks on, before he’s even began to sing. The crowds cheer and arms in the air just shows what he means to all. So, some may say that it wasn’t necessarily the gig they bought tickets for considering that we only found out there and then that it was all going to be streamed live everywhere, but he definitely brought it home with what i would say was an 11/10 performance. His passion shines through in each and every song and you just don’t want the night to end and stop his soothing voice. You know how it is after a concert the come down is the worst part especially after any performance like that. I must mention the support act ‘Richie and the Remedy’ who were amazing also. I’d never heard of them before but the voice that Richie Skint carries and the picking skills that Harvey Lee showed definitely left me wondering when they’re next performing and fingers crossed it’s near me! Definitely a band that should be shouted about more. Everyone likes to think that the artist up there on stage gave them a little look out of the 100s of people surrounding them but Sam Smith never failed to cover the entire audience and give his cheeky little smile. I’ve seen him perform before, once with ‘Disclosure’ and once with, local lad for me, ‘Naughty Boy’. Again just an amazing show and to see him go from roughly a 3 minute performance to a whole performance dedicated for him is such an awesome thing to witness.I knew that i had to get the tickets as soon as i found out about the gig but back then he wasn’t so well known and most definitely became known at the perfect time for this gig. I think credit where credit is due and that’s down to ‘Disclosure’ for finding this hidden gem in the midst of the music industry today thanks to his exceptional track ‘Lay Me Down’. Also a thanks should go to ‘Naughty Boy’ for featuring Sam on his track ‘La La La’ which ultimately broke him through the final barriers of the music industry. One of the best things about the night was the little surprises he had lined up for us. Out of nowhere comes Jessie Ware to join him in 'Leave Your Lover'. With a voice like an angel, together they had the place stunned. Another of the surprises, a bit later on, brought out Howard from Disclosure to play 'Make It To Me' on the keys. The amount of talent the artists and bands seem have these days never ceases to amaze me.
So what a talent, and from his personal experiences have come the most stunning tracks i’ve heard and it’s amazing how his voice and compositions make you share his feelings and it almost makes you feel as though you know him. I must admit i’ve shed a tear to many of his songs and i’m not ashamed to say! What a thanks to Sam Smith and all the success is wished to him by everyone i can imagine. If you ever get the chance, even if you’ve seen him before, go and see him for yourself and I can promise you that you won't regret it. By Amba Pattison

First of March I went to see Sam Smith at Forest National, Brussels. I really liked Sam his way of performing and his voice has a great sound, although I have some things to say that made this concert experience a bit less enjoying as I thought it would be.

Sam had a few minor slips (for example a very few high/low notes or endings), but you can definitely hear that he has a beautiful voice. Him not singing the phrase 'money on my mind' the whole song, but letting the crowd do it, did let me down a bit. I didn't hear all this qualities of singing here. He is an enthusiast and open hearted with the crowd, which does give a good vibe. I like his way of performing! And the back up vocals were beautiful as well.

I was negatively surprised about the quality of acoustics at Forest National, it was terrible. I couldn't hear whatever Sam was singing for like 65% of his songs. Also, the possibility to park here is horrible, so they promote you to come with public transport. But, at the end of the concert, you are lucky to get back where you came from. Everyone is trying to get on that bus or tram, again, terrible. Really. We walked for at least 4 stopt, to be able to hop on another tram that went to Brussels Midi.

I saw Sam Smith at U Street Music Hall and I fell in love with his music all over again. The concert took place before his debut album was released so we weren't sure what to expect. Most of the songs he performed that night were from his new album. No one knew the words to the songs but EVERY song he performed was AMAZING! His voice was PERFECT! Sam Smith has a beautiful and soulful voice. His voice is so pure. I absolutely love this guy. I have not loved an artist like this since Adele. He really is the male version of the Adele, which is an incredible compliment. I want him to do well in music since, according to his Twitter bio, he singe for his supper (teehee). However, I don't ever want him to turn his back on small venues.
I don't have a single complaint. I'm going to another one of his concerts later this year, the venue is bigger but it's not a stadium so hopefully it won't take away from the intimacy of the show.
After the show was over, we chanted his name and he came back and gave us an encore performance. If you have a chance to go see him, you absolutely should. He is a truly talented vocalist and writer.

Where do I begin with Sam Smith? Do I start with the gorgeous stage presentation or the flawless blend of his background vocalists? Maybe with his grand entrance and flawless vocals?
I think I'll start with Sam, the person. From the moment he walked on stage, he was gracious, humble, and genuinely thrilled that we were all there to see him and even more honored by the screaming and cheering that pervaded his ears. There are not enough adjectives to adequately describe how flawless and enrapturing his performance was! Every note, every run, was perfectly in tune and blew me away. It was like listening to his album…except better! I have know that everyone else in the audience was just as in awe as I was. We were in the presence of musical greatness and I have no doubt that Sam Smith is going to be on the forefront of music for a long time to come! I'm already waiting by my computer hoping that Songkick will tell me that he's coming back to my town.

This concert was absolutely amazing!
First Kwabs came on stage and made a good start, with his famous song "Walk" where the audience started dancing.
But when Sam Smith came on stage, the audience exploded! With his strong, unique voice he brought us to smiles and tears. He did some danceable songs, and asked to sing with him, like in the songs "Like I can", "La la la" and "Money on my mind". He talked about the stories behind the songs, his past and his homosexuality.
Although the beginning was great, the best part still had to come. That's the moment when he starts singing his ballads en slower songs, with his powerfull voice. My personally favorite was the accoustic version of "Latch", but also "Leave your lover" and "Lay me down" were incredible!
And of course the show ended with a great version of "Stay with me", when everyone sung as hard as they could.
A day never to forget, and I'll be there when he comes back to Belgium!

This was the best concert I have seen to date! You see the last time I saw a show coming to town I got "scalped" really bad on my tickets. So in laymen's terms, I actually got ripped off really badly for tickets. I paid so much for really bad seats. But this time at the Sam Smith Concert, Songkick got me direct with the original seller, and I was able to buy the tickets of my dreams with my favorite artist of all time! I was right there in the front listening to Sam Smith sing all of the songs from his amazing album, and was also able to listen to his amazing story and personal experiences connected to his truly personal and meaningful music. It was truly and experience of a lifetime, Sam Smith or Songkick did not dissappoint. It was an amazing night with an amazing performer, and I will never forget that night.

This concert was absolutely amazing! His voice was so angelic and he was so genuine and humble. Every time he smiled it melted my heart because you could tell how grateful he was and how much he loves his life and it was just so beautiful! Everyone was there to just have a good time and everyone was singing along and it was such an incredible environment. One of the best moments was when someone from the crowd threw a rainbow flag on the stage during his song “HIM” and he took it a waved it around while everyone cheered in support of gay rights, it was so amazing. He is so inspiring and honestly my favorite artist. This was hands down the best concert I’ve ever been to, and I never wanted it to end. One of the best nights of my life.

One of the best shows I’ve ever been to, so emotional and it still a happy show. When he played we could feel everything he was singing about, we felt his emotions. The whole concert was amazing, the opening show (Lewis Capaldi) was really good, love his voice and the songs he played. What I loved most about Sam Smith was the simplicity of his concert, there was no need for an elaborated scene, we’re there to see him and his singing, not a big show with a lot of dancing and decorations (not saying concerts who have that are bad, I actually really like them, what I mean is that he doesn’t need that to be great). Also, the decorations were so cool and amazing, and his speeches were simply beautiful and powerful LOVE IS LOVE!❤️

Sam Smith was my first ever concert I've attended and let me tell you I was not disappointed in the least.

Not only is his voice even better live than it is on his album, but he is also the most down to earth, honest, and adorable person ever.
Throughout the concert he kept taking time out to talk about his songs and the meaning behind them as well. Due to it being my first concert I don't know if this is a normal thing, but Sam also thanked the crowd after every song which I thought was incredibly endearing and made you feel genuinely appreciated for coming to see him.

Overall I can say it was one of the best nights of my life and will 100% be getting tickets the next time he's in town.

Everything about the show was amazing, ypu touch everyone in the auditorium. The songs you decided to sing were excellent and the feeling you put to every song you showed it in your eyes. After every song you smiled to the public and that made us more excited to be there and sometimes put tiers of excitement in our eyes. We could all related to your songs in different ways. You are an inspiration to me. I'm so happy I got the opportunity to see you after the show and get your autograph in my ticket and sweatshirt. That night it's going to be unforgettable for every person that was there that night and the night before. Hope I have the opportunity to see you again here in Mexico City.
