The first half of JB’s set was pretty sleepy. His vocals were amazing but the vibes were just not matching where I was at. I saw a lot of people either just switch to sitting down or leaving. The second half with the nostalgia hits was a lot better granted I would have preferred the Purpose/Journals stuff more but still great plus the ending with the main hits and snooze with SZA were nice. I understand the love he has for both swag albums but some of those do not translate to live at all.
FKA twigs is just on another level as a performer. I'm actually annoyed Bieber is just sitting around on a laptop on that huge main stage while she's giving her all on one of the tent stages
Twigs played for an hour and a half last night and it was the most unreal performance. Honestly might have been my favorite Coachella ever?
This feels like a pretty bad faith reading of the situation, I'm actually watching the Bieber set right now and am 40 minutes in and there's no laptop and he's not sitting around, it's a great performance so far and he sounds great.
He did sound good. I didn't catch the weekend 2 set so I don't know if he did something different this time lol
that is the one I am watching, almost an hour and no laptop!! did a swag-centric set, just sat down for an acoustic set, probably have the youtube part next
weekend 2 set was awesome too, his cry me a river cover / duet with young Justin sounded so good. The camera work they did both weekends during the first hook of Daisies is such a vibe again, I feel like people either did not watch his set or just are looking for very different things out of a musical performance than I am. Not really sure what people want to see him do besides sound really good singing his songs with some cool visuals and stage lighting
He's clearly giving his heart in this set and sounds great, all I can ask for from a headliner after seeing far too many phone it in
honestly all he really needed to do was keep a consistent pace between SWAG and the hits and it be a lot bettter.
Anyone able to find links somewhere to download some of these coachella performances? I found sabrina and the strokes but would love to get some of the others. Thank you!
who I saw this weekend. It was a pretty great weekend and that Friday and Saturday run was legendary. Turnstile, Nine Inch Noize and Kacey Musgraves were probably the best of the weekend solely cause I missed fka twigs due to breaking my glasses at drain’s set.
