If you ever want to feel old, go to a radio station concert meant for tweens. If you ever want to feel young, buy a beer at MSG -- they still card, even at my advanced age.
Bless their hearts.
I was there with one of my best buds, we can have fun anyplace. The evening was a smorgasbord of celebrities (Katie Holmes, Anna Kendrick, Ryan Seacrest), random rockstars (Enrique Iglesias, Fall Out Boy, Selena Gomez, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis), and desperate attention seekers (Lindsay Lohan).
Plus, the tix were free. What's not to love?
Here are the highlights:
This guy loves life. And why shouldn't he? Looking all dapper in a black suit and dress shirt that didn't show any of the sweat that was beading up on his bald head, he hosted a hottie hoedown with dancing girls in denim cutoffs and cowboy boots. His set was a total party -- def my fave act of the night.
Best Song: Timber
Biggest Realization: Robin Thicke
I was psyched to hear Blurred Lines. And it was good! Then I realized I don't care about any of his other songs (except When I Get You Alone). It was nice that he played the piano. And he actually sang. And I appreciated that he dressed up in a leopard jacket. But one fact remained: I don't care about any of his other songs.
Best Song: what do you think?
Worst Lip Syncher: Austin Mahone
I knew I was out of my element when Jordin Sparks called all the "Mahomeys in the house." I'm sorry... the WHO? A man-child bounced out with an iridescent silver suit and Bieber's hairdo. Then he began to sing. And by sing, I mean forget to move his mouth because he was too busy looking like a dancing teenage Tin Man. And so, we started taking selfies to pass the time until the next act came on.
Best Song: Nothing. Nada. Zip. Stinky poo-poo.
Coolest Band: Paramore
Lead singer, Hayley Williams, just seems awesome. But during Misery Business, she plucked a fan from the audience (Brian), brought him up onstage, and handed him the mic to sing the chorus. She totally made his life -- and a great moment in the show.
Best Song: Still Into You
Most Criminal Remake: Ariana Grande
Apparently this doe-eyed Disney princess has been dubbed "Little Mariah." But the Supreme Queen of All Christmas Songs must be weeping over the aggravated assault committed against Wham! Ariana gave Last Christmas a whiny beat-down. Geez, what did George Michael ever do to YOU?
Best Song: I have no clue what any of her songs are called.
Hardest Act to Follow: Miley Cyrus
The star of the show was Miley "Hanna Montana Is Dead" Cyrus. Good thing she went last. Let's start with the outfit: I'm pretty sure Mrs Claus bedazzled Jane Fonda's aerobics suit from 1982 and Miley bought it in a yard sale. Then she spent her time onstage grinding on a drunk hobo Santa, a sexy little person, and a drag queen dressed like a Christmas tree. She's a mess. But boy, can that girl sing!
Best Song: Wrecking Ball
