- 25 best love songs ever!
Rascal Flatts and Kenny Chesney were awesome! The RF duet w/Natasha was really amazing. Kenny really did a good job, however why was he skipping on stage? That was a bit weird. J Lo was really good, not a fan of hers but wow, she can sure put on a show! Didnt see GaGa perform, just stayed up to see my favorite Kenny Chesney!
Love Kenny!!!!! He did an amazing job! Represented country music well!
The highlight of the night for me was David Guetta + Usher’s Without You – spectactular and the best vocal performance of the night. JLo’s On the Floor was a great show, and who can resist that song? I enjoyed some of Gaga’s songs, but her set got way too long. Throughout the night we had gotten used to each group having their 25 minute, 5 song sets, it was fast paced but perfect – you got to hear their biggest songs and then maybe one new single. Gaga’s set therefore felt super long and monotonous at 45 minutes. So a bunch of people walked out mid-set. The same happened to JayZ the night before too. Keep the sets shorter people.
I thought that too about Gaga, people left early in her set but she left the stage two or three times to change, so I can see why people were leaving. It was such a switch from the other acts
A collection of some of the most generic and boring “artists” ever. Reflective of the shrinking attention span, some listeners can’t even stand forty-five minutes of one artist. We weren’t born this way. Corporations train you to enjoy this junk.
Just like high fructose syrup is used to cheapen a product, producers are used to dumb the music down for you. New ideas are not allowed in, nor would you probably care about them. Keeping things boring and predictable makes money and keeps the sheep inside their pens.
I was there for the show. It was extremely good, and I felt that Jennifer Lopez had the best set of the night. Gaga was very good. She’s more of a showman, but her voice was incredible. Usher was a waste, only one song. Sublime was good, and I’m not a fan. I was actually surprised I knew as many songs of theirs as I did. Kenny Chesney was great. Last song was a downer. When he finished singing, he walked off and left the band playing. Kinda weird. Nicki Minaj was very fun, but there were a lot of the older crowd shaking their heads. Rascal Flatts–awful. There was something wrong with their sound maybe? Idk but not great. He sounded mushy all the way through. Wanted to hate David Guetta, but he looked like he was having a ball, and it was infectious. All around great show.
Kenny Chesney & Carrie Underwood were the best performers at this music fest. Period. No props or gimmicks needed. They relied solely on their vocal abilities to command and hold the audience’s attention. No autotune needed. Country artists never fail.

On January 15th, I saw the footage of the concert on the Palladium Network. It was condensed to a 3-hour special! I saw the performances of Carrie Underwood, Jane’s Addiction and Lady Gaga of hour number 3. All of the performances were solid! Lady Gaga was superb! Despite the wild costumes, she was superb and her live band played the songs superbly, even those from the Born this Way album! Carrie wasn’t robotic–she’s so into the performance with the live band and the audience. She’s gotten better with her stage presence! And that crowd like Jane’s performances–it was nothing like what you wrote.
I saw the highlights at the end of the show and I caught the Jennifer Lopez and Nicki Minaj performances. If Palladium Network shows it again, I definitely want to see those performances. They might have been in hour 1 or hour 2-I saw Hour number 3.
