I wasn't sure what to expect at the free Ashley Tisdale concert this afternoon at The Grove in Los Angeles, except the same awkward feeling that my Dad must have had taking me to ZZ Top in 1986. Out Of Place. Mission accomplished there, but anyway, I have had little exposure to Ashley Tisdale, so I didn't know what the music would be like. The opening band, The V Factory, set the bar nice and low, I can't believe we're back to boy bands already in the pop cycle! (It was particularly uncool of these dudes to ask the fans to please "tag" any photos of the band online.) So, when Ashley's band took the stage and picked up musical instruments, I was skeptical to say the least. I'm no expert, but it sounded to me like Ashley was really singing, and the band was really playing live, so that was more than I was expecting. I'm not going to give my opinion because the music was not intended for my demographic, but at least Ashley was setting herself apart as a performer by actually performing! And when you can flip your hair and point like Ashley can, who needs to dance and sing simultaneously anyway?
If you didn't make it down to the Grove to see the show today, watch my videos of the full show here. See Parts 1 & 2 of her 30 minute set now! MORE TO COME! But enjoy it now, because you never know when YouTube might pull it!
