 Bruno
Mars Roseland Ballroom NY Concert Review
 May
4th , 2011. The popular Bruno Mars performed to a sold out concert
at the Roseland Ballroom located in New York. It was part of his Hooligans
in Wondaland tour throughout the United States and AsiaFinest was on hand
to cover this great event!
Bruno Mars went on the road this spring with Janelle Monae for a co-headlining,
North-American The Hooligans in Wondaland Tour. The sold out concert kicked
of with a British singer / rapper Plan B. Plan B is popular in the UK,
but not so much here in New York as most of the people in attendance did
not know who he was. Plan B performed a few quick numbers including "Stay
Too Long" and "She Say", as well as a nice remix of "Stand
By Me" and Seal's "Kissed By a Rose" with a beatboxer.
Janelle Monae was the next performer up. Janelle performed the majority
of material from her current album, “The ArchAndroid”, and a
few tracks from her debut “Metropolis: Suite 1 (The Chase)”.
It was a pleasure seeing her perform live as she showcased each song with
a ton of energy. The audience loved her so much that she had a two song
encore! Her music mixed well with Bruno Mars' style, and was a perfect
lead up to his performance. The only problem was that after Janelle finished
her set, there was a hour long wait before Bruno Mars stepped on stage.
To make matters worse, the opening acts took about two hours and this
was a standing room only event.
The audience went nuts when Bruno Mars finally stepped on stage! He made
good use of the background with a wall of light backdrop behind him that
showed various pictures, backgrounds, and live concert videos. Bruno pretty
much sang his entire awesome album and other songs that he wrote, which
included Billionaire, Beautiful Girl, and of course all
the fan favorites like Grenade, Just The Way You Are, Lazy
Sunday, etc.. Like true hardcore fans, the entire audience knew all
the lyrics and sang along with each and every song. The ladies would go
crazy each time he did a hip thrust! He interacted with the audience pretty
well, encouraging different area of the crowd to a sing off, and serenading
one lucky female fan. Bruno Mars ended the night with a final encore of
"Talking to the Moon".
Bruno Mars's concert gave everyone their money's worth. The tickets was
relatively cheap for a sold out concert. Online ticker brokers was selling
the Bruno Mars tickets for around $60-70 each as compared to $300+ a ticket
for Britney Spears or Lady Gaga. Fans who love Bruno Mars' music definitely
needs to see him perform live. It's a totally different experience that
should not be missed with fellow Bruno Mars' fans.
