OneRepublic Sing “All the Right Moves” on Ellen

Jeanne — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:27:56 +0000

OneRepublic, who you probably know best from their hits “Apologize” and “Stop and Stare,” were on Ellen earlier this week where they performed their new single “All The Right Moves” and I thought they did a truly excellent job. The chorus is in the upper register and I wasn’t sure Ryan Tedder was going to be able to pull that off live but he did quite well.

Watch the performance!

Miley Cyrus Performs On Today Show’s Concert Series

Jeanne — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 18:56:24 +0000

Fans of teen star, Miley Cyrus, were treated to an outdoor concert as part of the Today Show Concert Series. She always has a good amount of energy and I think that, considering her young age, she’s quite a good live performing. She sang her new song “Party In the USA” as well as “The Climb,” “See You Again” and “Kicking and Screaming” (extra videos after the jump!).

Check out “Party in the USA.”

Flo Rida Performs on Today Show

Jeanne — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 08:41:06 +0000

Rapper, Flo Rida, performed on the Today Show Concert Series yesterday and he performed his huge hit “Right Round” along with “Low” and “Jump.” I think that there were some minor audio issues but, overall, he did a good job and I can’t believe how much energy he was able to muster at such an early hour! That part always amazes me about the artists who perform on these morning talk shows.

Watch “Right Round”

”Low”

“Jump”

Ashley Tisdale “It’s Alright, It’s OK” on The View

Jeanne — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:59:00 +0000

Ashley Tisdale, who might know best as Sharpay from the High School Musical franchise, performed her new single “It’s Alright, It’s OK” on The View this morning. So, considering what the original song sounds like, this was a decent live performance but I really hate The View’s stage setup.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck commented on the fact that the sound is a lot edgier than what fans might be used to and then asked Ashley about her upcoming movie, Aliens in the Attic. Check it out:

Rascal Flatts Perform on Today Show Concert Series

Jeanne — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:44:42 +0000

Country music superstars, Rascall Flatts, performed on the Today show’s “Summer Concert Series” this morning. Of course, being the seasoned veterans that they are, they did a great job. The crowd was definitely excited and the weather looked decent outside of the New York City studio!

It was really cool to see parents and young children singing along to “Me and My Gang.” They really seemed to have a great time. They also sang “Here Comes Goodbye” and “Summer Nights” (see those videos after the jump!).

Rob Thomas on Today Show’s Summer Concert Series

Jeanne — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 03:36:14 +0000

Rob Thomas released his second solo album, Cradlesong, this week and I’m not sure it’s going to do as well as his first effort, …Something to Be, but he’s off to a pretty strong start.

His first single is “Her Diamonds” and I think it’s an odd enough sounding song on the recorded version so I was curious about how it would turn out during a live performance.

Rob pulled it off pretty well (I’m always impressed by those people who can sound relatively decent outdoors at 8am). I am sure it was a lot of fun for him too since the audience seemed to be feeling pretty festive with the Fourth of July coming up tomorrow.

I’m still not a huge fan of the single but if you love it, you’ll want to check out this video:

The Jonas Brothers Perform on The Today Show

Jeanne — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:56:06 +0000

This morning on The Today Show the Jonas Brothers stopped by to perform a bunch of their fan favorites. They started off with their hit singles, “Burnin’ Up” and "Lovebug" which were off of their 2008 album “A Little Bit Longer.” Then, they treated the audience to their songs “Paranoid” and “Much Better”, both off of their newly released album “Line, Vines and Trying Times.”

They sounded relatively good, something that’s not always common for the Jo Bros. I find they have a hard time with live performances, but I respect that they still are quite young and seem to be working hard. I actually don’t mind their new single “Paranoid” and I like that they decided to do something a bit different with this newest album. I’m not exactly sure how I feel about their single “Much Better” which is supposedly aimed towards Joe Jonas’s ex-girlfriend, Taylor Swift. It sounded a bit screechy to me. What did you guys think?

Ashley Tisdale “It’s Alright, It’s OK” – Good Morning America

Jeanne — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:07:47 +0000

Ashley Tisdale was on Good Morning America earlier this week where she performed her single “It’s Alright, It’s OK” which is the first release from her Guilty Pleasure album, which drops on July 28, 2009.

The track is a bit of a departure from what we’ve come to expect from the High School Musical star – it’s a little edgier with a slightly heavier rock sound. I think it’s great that she’s trying to experiment with a new sound and expand her talents. I wouldn’t say that I love the song or the performance but I know that it’s a little hard when a song is still new and the artist hasn’t gotten used to singing it (plus, it was early in the morning although you wouldn’t know it by how much energy Ashley had!). My only comment is that I hope she does try to become too sexual in an effort to shed the Disney image. Check it out and tell me what you think:

Black Eyed Peas Perform on Today Show

Jeanne — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:47:15 +0000

The Black Eyed Peas were on the Today show’s Summer Concert Series this morning where they performed their hit “Boom Boom Pow” which, as Matt Lauer explains, has been at the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 for 10 weeks.

I really didn’t like the song at first but once it grew on me, I couldn’t stop singing it. I think they did a good job considering how tough it’s got to be to do a song like that one outside early in the morning (I see will.i.am got some “assistance” during the autotune sections but I guess that is to be expected). They looked great too but can I ask what’s up with Fergie’s weird nails?

Despite all of their success, my favorite Peas song remains “Let’s Get It Started” but this new album The E.N.D. features a new kind of sound for them so maybe their best song is yet to come. They also performed their second single from the album “I Gotta Feeling” which is already catching on even though it’s only been out a week. If you watch television you’ll be hearing a lot more of it since it’s been chosen by CBS to promote their upcoming fall lineup.

Taylor Swift Performs on Today Show Concert Series

Jeanne — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:28:22 +0000

Taylor Swift performed on the Today show’s “Summer Concert Series” this morning and she looked beautiful. The 19-year-old country superstar performed some of her best songs and I think she did a great job. Granted, I think her songs are better written than she can actually sing (sorry) but all things considered, it was a nice set of performances.

She talked about her experience since becoming such a big star (she sold out a concert at Madison Square Garden in one minute!).

Watch her sing the cute and romantic song “Love Story” (one of my daughters sang in front of the screen just mouthing the words).

She also sang “You Belong to Me” which has more of an 80s feel to it but it has great infectious lyrics.

When she performed her crowd-favorite “Our Song” the audience happily sang along and I thought it was great. Can you imagine how flattering that must have been?!
