VIEW VIDEO TAKEN AT CONCERT

(Sept. 30, 2011) — Over 500 people lined up at the House of Blues on Sept. 20 to see JoJo, Jay Sean and Joe Jonas, the now solo performer, hit the stage. This was the place to be on a Tuesday night. They’ve been touring all across North America, starting in Boston and landing in West Hollywood, to put on an amazing show for their fans in LA.

Everyone came prepared with blankets and chairs, because they knew they had to get there pretty early since it was on a “first come, first served” basis. The audience was let in at about 7 p.m., next thing you know it’s 7:30 and everyone is waiting for JoJo to start off the night. As the minutes went by, the background music stopped and only screaming could be heard as the band introduced JoJo.

She opened up the performance with a remix of “Marvin’s Room” by Drake. This was followed by her hit “Leave (Get Out)” and then a more recent single, “Disaster.” It was pretty noticeable that she was having a hard time with the crowd because there weren’t too many people who knew her songs. She ended her performance with an all-time hit, “Too Little, Too Late,” and cleared the stage for Jay Sean.

Instead of turning the background music on again, there was a DJ there mixing up a few of the recent radio hits. All of a sudden Jay Sean’s hit “Do You Remember” started to play, and there he was, with the microphone in his hand and his aviators on. At this point, the crowd went wild and everyone was finally dancing and having fun.

One thing that was not expected from Jay Sean was when he started beat boxing some Lil’ Wayne and Beyoncé after he performed “Ride It,” “2012” and his song “Eyes on You” from way back in 2004! That really hyped up the crowd. After his little skit, he continued the performance with “Hit the Lights” and ended the show with his most famous single “Down.”

After a while, the crowd went silent, and finally, it was time. Joe Jonas was only a few more minutes away and everyone was trying to control their emotions. Joe has always wanted to go solo and his new work, which has a more of a R&B feel to it, is still very personal. Not only are were his lyrics different, but he joined his backup dancers Matt Aylward, Trent Dickens and Nat Gilmore to show off some new choreography. Everyone was so excited to see him finally display that work for the audience.

When he opened those curtains and started to sing “Loveslayer,” it was obvious the amount of effort that went into his solo career and this performance. The crowd was really astonished at this point and he pretty much fed off the energy. It was very uplifting to see everyone sing along and really enjoy themselves.

One thing he struggled with was having his voice heard. The music was kind of overpowering and it was hard understand when the song changed or what line he was on. The screaming and freaking out slightly drowned out his voice too.

The night went on as he introduced new songs from his upcoming album, Fast Life, which comes out Oct. 11. This album includes more up tempo songs such as “Just in Love,” “Kleptomaniac,” “Fast Life” and “All This Time.” One song, “I’m Sorry,” really moved the crowd because it was much slower and more meaningful than the others. Now that people were all warmed up, he threw in some old songs he used to perform with his brothers, including “Hello Beautiful” and “When You Look Me In the Eyes.” When he sang “Burnin’ Up,” everyone went insane!

Joe went off stage for a quick second then returned with six red roses. The band played “Beautiful People” by Joe’s close friend and famous recording artist Chris Brown. As he sang, he threw a roses into the audience one by one. As he got down to the last one, he held it in his mouth then tossed it to the balcony area. On top of all that, Joe decided to jump into the first row, causing everyone to run in his direction, as if the crowd wasn’t crazy enough.

It was another unforgettable night at the House of Blues. In the end, fans can only hope Joe will be as successful as he and his brothers were with his solo career. They really just want to see his album “Fast Life” climb up the charts when it comes out next month. Are you ready for the fast life?
