After putting in 1 1/2 work out session at the gym, showered and I made my way to see Miguel perform live at SOBs. Now ya gurl, LexAve, has been an avid supporter of Miguel shortly after hearing “All I Want Is You” record, but last night that support and love went to a whole new level. No not groupie status…but more of actual admiration. SOBs was packed, wall to wall, and the press was heavy…shouts to TheParrish for booking success! From the second Miguel jumped on the stage, there was no doubt this dude commanded the stage and the crowd. One of our fav. photographers, Mel D. Cole, was in the building capturing all the action (peep some flicks below).
Realtalk, here are some reasons why I fell in love with Miguel last night…
1. He may be short in stature but Miguel’s sex appeal is RIDICULOUS! Sure I’ve questioned if he’s got a lil’ sugar in his tank…but either way gay or straight, Miguel is SEXY! #handsdown
2. Miguel’s vocal range is SICK! I’ve listened to his album many times, but for whatever reason his voice and ability just doesn’t transcend the same way as in live in person. The man can SING!! No auto-tune necessary.
3. Miguel’s style is eclectic. Being Mexican/Black, various musical influences are very much apparent in his performance. Even though he sang cuts of his debut album All I Want Is You, he also did his own rendition of a rock track…to which I can’t recall the name of the song. Either way, its always great to see an artist step outside of their genre and show their abilities to cater a mixed crowd.
4. Miguel reminds me of Prince. While enjoying his set last night, I couldn’t help but tweet...
…And who doesn’t love Prince?!
5. The final reason I fell in love with Miguel last night…well he’s got a whole lot of stage presence. The majority of today’s artist can’t put on a show to save their lives. They simply ride on their celebrity to attract the crowd. Miguel is all about putting on a great show and boy does he have stamina. From one song to the next, he kept the crowd moving and at all times…eyes were on him. Not many artists can do that nowadays.
With the all the reasons I provided above, it’s no doubt in my mind that Miguel is an artist that’s here to stay. I predict a great longstanding musical career for this dude. If he ever comes to your town, do yourself a favor and go see him! Trust…you won’t regret it! Dude is a “Sure Thing”!
