Spaz if you want to..

N.E.R.D Live @ Mosaic Music Festival, Esplanade
20 Mar 2009


It. was. a. blast. Pharell is a ladykiller and a crowd pleaser, it's too bad we missed Chad but I almost forgot about a certain Mr Hugo who is part of the N.E.R.D outfit during the one and a half hour spasms of beats and bounces and people being pulled up the stage. It's like the artiste-audience barrier got broken down and we were just all in one big jamming session with the boys. I've never seen so many girls unleashing their hoochie mama-ness on the esplanade stage during "She Wants To Move". Crowd went ape shit when "Everyone Nose" came up, and of course went into a tizzy with "Spaz", we also tried to become the namesake of the song "Popcorn" by bouncing up and down left and right - Pharell would want no less, as he kept urging the audience to continue going crazy, even spewing an across the border competitiveness, mentioning they want to tell Malaysia (as they head to sunburst the next day) that they ain't got the energy like Singapore did. Woot and what Woop of energy That brought out of the crowd. Plus, nice throwback to Franz Ferdinand as the band segue-ed into "Take Me Out" during one of the songs, it's okay if Pharell was "pitchy" at parts, his charm and aggressive stage antics more than made up for it, so says the girls....

I'm beginning to fall in love with watching shows at the Esplanade - awesome sound system, cozy intimate setting even amidst a loud-banging show, I LOVE IT.

More please.

Enjoy the vids below (includes new song, the reggaeton-infectious "popcorn")!
