So I sat alone in the top row for the four and half hour long glow in the dark spectacular. Lupe Fiasco handled the stage well, his song intros were clunky at best, but once he got going he was pure, great energy. plus bonus points for coming out rapping over a justice beat to start the set! NERD, with a pissy pharrell complaining most of the time, rushing and forgetting the old songs and becoming distracted by every set of boobs in the crowd, in addition to their new stuff being a little questionable..i mean i'm still going to buy the new record and all. Rhianna nearly stole the show coming on before kanye. her soundsystem was thunderous, the bass was just disgusting and it was a revelation that she can actually sing! i'm a life long janet jackson fan, so my expectations of anything but adequate live singing are firmly in place. but rhianna is definitely ready for the big stage once she has a couple more hits. kanye's one man, lonely space boy show was an oddity to be for sure. i can't wait to watch a dvd of the set to soak it in. up above, you could see the sides of the stage, so any submersion in the show was kinda impossible. as always the joy of kanye is seeing his big ideas never quite working out as grand as he envisioned, but god bless him, god bless kanye west.
