Miley Cyrus Concert Review
Last Tuesday, Katrina, Chelsey and I headed to the Staples Center for the Miley Cyrus concert. We bused it to Universal then took the red line to the blue line then walked to Staples. We are comitted.
We got to the event which was a ‘paperless’ event meaning there were no tickets. You swipes your credit card and then they let you in. Only problem was that I lost the credit card which I used to buy the tickets with. The line for credit card problems literally stretched all the way around Staples. It was a nightmare! Luckily, we used the Katrina Golden Ticket handicap pass which got us right to the front. After an exhausting and excruciating search for my information, we finally got our tickets. The girls saw that I was struggrling getting the tickets so by the time I did get them, they were waiting around the corner. I decided to play a mean practical joke and pretended that we had no tickets. The look on Katrinas face was heartbreaking yet very priceless.
Concert start at 7. We got our tickets at 6:55. We had no interest in seeing the dreadful Metro Station so we walked down the street and ate a delicious dinner. Got Into Staples just as Metro Station was whispering their was thru ‘Shake Shake.’ Got to our seats and in no time the show was beginning.
Miley came out singing Breakout. She was in a frozen iceberg which melted away. It felt like the concert was trying to have a whole anti-pollution message to it but once Miley got onto her flying Harley, that messsage quickly vanished. Miley had an amazing live voice but her dancing was a bit off and the show was just a little bit too polished for my liking. My number one problem with the show was the fact that there was never a genuine moment. Miley lacks a stage personality, she just goes from one song to another but refuses to ever really open up to the audience. Just like the Circus tour with Britney Spears, there are just three or so parts where Miley actually addressed the crowd but just like Britney, they were stage-y monologues that were obviously memorized
I’d say the highlights of the show included ‘Fly on the Wall’ ‘Bottom of the Ocean’ and ‘The Climb.’ There were many questionable portions of the concert including her lackluster moves during ‘See You Again’, an awkward badly lit ‘Thriller Tribute’ and Mileys uncanny resemblence to Khloe Kardashian.
Overall, the show was good but left me unsatisfied. She’s got hits, she just doesn’t know how to deliver them from the heart. Hopefully with time, she’ll learn. Unt then, I CAN wait to see you again Miley.
Concert Grade: B-
