Bad girls think that you're being a boob punch

Hahah, so I won a free pass to see Carly Rae Jepsen perform live this Thursday at Terminal 5. No, not the concert venue in Manhattan, but the building in JFK International Airport where JetBlue flights arrive and depart. I'll have to go through the TSA screening and everything. Thanks, Interscope...

That Carly Rae Jepsen performance at JFK Airport was only a four song acoustic set, half of which were from Emotion (I Really Like You and Run Away From Me). Even better, the stage area had an obnoxiously high barrier in the way:



At least she sounded pretty good and was really sweet during the 30-second meet and greet.

Alessia Cara, who put out Here a couple months ago (which was great) has an LP coming out tomorrow that she's already shared on her Youtube page with cute videos she filmed around her house/a hotel room. It's pretty solid; Here is already a proven "good song", and Outlaws is a very Amy Winehouse-y number that really shows off her voice. Seventeen sounds the most radio friendly, and the other two are pretty good, not stand-out but they show off her voice and her ear for music, which both make me think she has a lot of potential. I'm excited to see her come up in the biz, if she works with the right people she could really flourish.

Having seen her headlining "sneak peek set" last night, she's also pretty solid live. The show was short --- even with two openers, it was over by 9 p.m. --- but it included all of the Four Pink Walls EP and two cover songs.

It was a nice surprise to come back from that show and find out that my iTunes pre-order for that EP had already downloaded on my computer, though.

Edit:
Before the show, she went down the queue outside the venue and took photos with everybody. That was cool of her.

Unfortunately that's not an edit, that's the actual album version. It's probably my least favorite on the album. They were playing the video version for a while and then switched back for some reason.

There actually is a radio edit of the song that keeps the instrumental remix but replaces Kendrick Lamar's verses with the original lyrics.

Anyone seen CRJ live? Debating going to see her but she's opening for Hedley who I don't care to see so it would only be for the opening act.

I saw her this past weekend. She's knows how to put on a fun show (she donned a cape and sang with a mic stand wrapped in pearls for a few songs) and feeds off the energy of the crowd well. She's also apt to grab the hands of whoever is reaching out to her and once even took someone's cell phone to snap a selfie between songs. Her backing band is pretty tight, too, so you don't have to worry about it being just her singing over pre-recorded tracks or whatever.

Here's a crappy photo I snapped at the show just for the hell of it:

this was the night after she sold out Irving Plaza (cap 1000) and I had to pay $70 for a Stubhub ticket while all of her other shows that tour were at venues where you could get tickets for literally $8 on Stubhub because (a) the venues were too big and (b) her tour was insanely underpromoted. she came back to Terminal 5 (3000 cap) and sold out there so like, she clearly has an audience just terrible management

This tour, she's still playing ~1000 capacity venues except for New York, where she plays a sold out non-airport Terminal 5 next Friday.

It is so closely sync'd that depending on where you're at you really had to try and look for it. Great show though, easily one of the best live sets I've seen.

Regarding the synchronization of it all, that's true; the whole production is brilliantly choreographed. The pre-taped video sometimes leads people to believe that Kristen Wiig or Paul Dano are actually in attendance, though.

Carly Rae Jepsen did a live interview / three song acoustic performance last night for a New Yorker Festival event. So far she's written about 80 songs for her next album. 80. And she's still not done writing.
