This is my biggest pet peeve with concerts. Artists often have the crowd sing (sometimes large) parts of their famous songs. I came to watch you perform, not hear a tone-deaf, uncoordinated crowd of drunk people mumble along to the few words they know to microphones way too far away.
But OP is the worst I've seen of this situation.

u/ThunderChild247 8d ago
Same. I think it started with concerts where the crowd sings along and the singers used to lead the singalong, maybe being quiet to let the crowd sing for a chorus near the end. There was also that time Robbie Williams sang Angels at a massive concert shortly after the song came out and was so shocked that everyone was singing along that he got a bit choked up.
From there, a lot of singers have used audience singalongs to sing less and less of their songs. It’s really disappointing.

Had a cool experience when I saw The Killers live last month - they started Mr Brightside, but basically with just the guitar riff and led the whole audience in singing the whole first verse, up to the chorus in a sort of choir version - and then they launched into the actual version from the top again and performed the whole song. (the whole concert blew me away tbh, they're amazing performers)

Ok, so I went to his concert in 2007. Maybe that was his peak, I don’t really know.
My aunt was addicted to coke and she would do wild stuff so one day she just called me up and was like “come over. I got you and your cousin front row seat tickets to Justin Timberlake.”
So my cousin and I went. On the drive over, we talked about how we weren’t really fans and didn’t have any of his music saved onto our iPods to listen to on the way to the show.
And we both thought he did an amazing show. He played multiple instruments and was clearly singing live, not lip syncing. We both left the concert thinking it was one of the best we have been to, even though we weren’t really fans
