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.

Maroon 5- Overexposed Live Tour, LA 2013

HEY lovieesss ! How's your weekend doing so far? I have been swamped with late night sleep and early morning wake... Busy busy busy bee... But, last night, one more night... I gotta enjoy another memorable concert with Maroon 5 at Staples Center.
Enough said, Adam Levine is the man ! Every girl's dream to fall in his arms , am I wrong??
When the crowd yelled out his name last night, all I could hear was the screaming of women among the audience in a big venue of Levine's die-hard fans. The music band wore all white clothes during the performance from the beginning till the end ! I was hoping for Levine to open his shirt because he was sweating, right after performing the 2nd song of the night... !! Too bad, he did not change or open his top !LOL But, I was just star-truck in looking at his tattooed arms. The room was getting harder and harder to breathe! Beautiful guy with an amazing voice .... All of the audience were singing along like there's no tomorrow... Me and my friends were standing all the way up from the beginning till the end !

 sorry for our photo bombing before the concert starts! LOL :p

 Neon Trees was the opening band...

 Maroon 5 opened the stage with one of my favorite song from "Over Exposed:" "PayPhone."

The closing ended up with "Moves Like Jagger."
