One Republic Live at The Forum August 31, 2017

One Republic has been one of my favorite band since I heard their "Apologize" song was used in many films and The Hills series; and Ryan Tedder has been one of my favorite singer of all time.
I was so happy I got the chance to experience them live the 3rd time at The Forum on Thursday, August 31st. The first time I saw them live was at The Troubadour, Hollywood where I got the chance to meet with the bass player and the drummer right after the concert ended :)

Like always their live performance are always worth watching and experiencing if you love alternative pop-rock band. Their new album "OH MY MY" however is a more pop-techno vibe. But like the lead vocalist said regarding their music genre:

"We're no respecter of genre. If it's a good song or a good artist whether rock, pop, indie or hip hop, they've probably influenced us on some level... nothing's new under the sun, we're a sum of a bunch of parts." 

What I adore about One Republic's arts are the lyrics they wrote in every music they produce and the tones / music they compose. It's easy to listen and relate to; as well as to sing along anywhere and anytime. During the concert, Ryan Tedder explained how the band mostly used their personal experiences as inspirations of writing and composing their music. I guess that's what makes them relatable on so many aspects of life.

BELIEVE by Justin Bieber

I have met Mike Posner the other day while I was hanging out at Beverly Hills... And here I met him again performing as the opening of #BELIEVE concert at LA Staples on Monday night... 

The second opening band was HCR or Hot Chelle Rae... Wasn't too excited because I have been to their private video taping during last year's American Music Awards ...

Scooter Braun was there, people were screaming when he entered the building.. As well as this lil rock star name Newboyz...

So many girls in audience were screaming out loud for JB since the beginning till the end of the concert, which is amazing and crazy at the same time !! My ears were kinda hurt after I left the building LOL... The audience were certainly in love with him and were in full energy that night as #BELIEBERS...

Been in events / concerts with JB in it several times... But this night was my first #believe concert !!

Again, I would say that this artist has talents! He can play all kinds of music instruments, and he keeps excelling in his dance moves, swaggy style, and sound techniques....
Overall, I am a very proud belieber :)

I love JB because he inspires me to BELIEVE always no matter what life may bring. Life is all about dreaming. Go dream big and reach it !! Keep believing lovelies !!!

And as usual, he ended up his concert with "One Less Lonely Girl," taking a special girl to the stage!! How I wish she was me ! LOL

Keep in tune to see some of the videos that I took !! COMING SOON.... and don't forget to follow my instagram for latest pics & vids @lclayderman.
