Kind of long, but well worth the read!!!

I got this off another JC site, thought you all would like to hear a review of his hot concert from Vegas Birthday party:

Report of JC's performance for George Maloof's party at the Palms in Vegas. By Dizmo (LJ)

And now we get to the good stuff.

Skin is an outdoor club-type-thingie. It's basically a patio by the pool. There's a stage setup. Yay stage. Then you have the requisite Stage Fence. Then you have the line of people leaning on the Stage Fence. We're... fortunate enough to get right up behind that line of people. I look at the stage... He's going to be Right There. There.. really aren't a whole lot of people there. So we figure it'll be a while. We kinda scope out the area. Large raised glass box thingie for the VIPs. Cool. Blahdeblah. Well, not five minutes after we arrived... the stage starts filling with smoke. And the band starts setting up. Dang, they can't be getting ready THAT quick... Hardly anyone's HERE. On a whim, I glance back at the VIP box. Who would be leaning on the rail but one Lance Bass. As I mentioned in my previous post... this becomes important. Tara's up in the box too, acourse. ;) So! Stage is ready! Who should come walking out but the one... the only..... Robin Leach.

Yes! The MC of this event was none other than everyone's favorite host of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Only in Vegas, man.. So! He starts introducing Birthday Dude. Birthday Dude shows up on stage. Birthday Dude is wearing a Massively Huge Watch. Which Robin announces was given to Birthday Dude by none other than our friend in the box Lance Bass! Yay Lance! At any rate, Birthday Dude is shoved off the stage. Good. And, therefore, Robin introduces the one... the only.....

JC! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

JC comes out from backstage.

Wait. Let me rephrase.

JC struts out from backstage to the band playing the opening riff to BMU. Seriously. From the very beginning of the thing, he owned that stage and knew it. And HE WAS RIGHT THERE.

The ensemble? Figured you'd ask. Button down sleeveless black shirt. Greenish tannish pants that looked like leather, but might have been the light. Black loafery thingies. Wide leather wristband on right wrist. I only paid that much attention to the clothing cuz I knew y'all'd ask. *coughsnort*

And boy gets started immediately. Turns out the BMU opener is a Major Fakeout. Because we head into...

A.D.I.D.A.S.

Okay, just.... Damn. JC. Seriously. Where have you been hiding those hips? Really. Because... Really. There are a cadre of becoming backup dancer girls, including one Chantal Robson. But.. Secondary. Because we've already established who owns the stage, and it ain't the dancing girls. The boy is totally having wild hot passionate sex with the mike stand for a brief moment. I enjoy this greatly. Needless to say. There's a very sizable dance break in the middle. During which is more jaw-dropping greatness by He That Is JC. It includes a move in which he turns around, bends down, and shakes it like there is no tomorrow. And if there WERE no tomorrow, I wouldn't mind, cuz I would die happy. It was delightful. There weren't a lot of people there, and you could tell the actual fangirls. There were about... Maybe six to ten actual fangirls there. And we were all singing along. And there may have been pointing involved, because... JC? All day long we dream about sex with you... And the low growly voice you displayed in this one. Guh.

From A.D.I.D.A.S... which is an experience in and of itself, we move into.

. Song We Don't Yet Have A Title For

Um... Yeah. That's my title to the song. Basic theme? You don't always get what it is you wish for. And it having been only the first time I hear the song, I honestly don't remember much about it, so much sorry there. But JC, I assure you, was hot.

After that.. lovely little foray into Erin-doesn't-know-what-to-say-about-that-one, we move to...

Build My World

JC, you have broken my heart in twain. I mean.. seriously. He was so ridiculously into this song I wanted to cry. We're talking a bit of mouthing along to the backing tracks when the situation arised. I mean.. Really. The boy looked so.. incredibly.. lost in the song. I was amazed. Positively blown away.

And of course, since we're continuing this ROLLER COASTER theme, we move from BMW to....

Some Girls

Oh my GOD, and I thought the dancing to A.D.I.D.A.S. was hot. This one... He was slinking around the dancers as smug as you couldn't BELIEVE. And again with the hips! And.... Oh! My! God! The first chorus... When he hits 'Knowing that it gets them attention..' Hand slides down chest to a direct crotchgrab-slash-thrust. Cue Erin dying. Yeah, that's what I thought. Matter of fact, all night long, he did way too much hipthrusting than is good for anyone's cardiac health. Just. Absolutely. Rocks. Seriously, if this is not officially the first single, just by virtue of seeing not only the video but the talk show rounds performances... I will bust some heads.

And so ended the actual JC set. But we're not done yet, boys and girls.

We get the return of Robin Leach! Carting out a tray of birthday cakes for Birthday Dude. And then... Remember when I said it would be important later? Out also comes our good friend Lance. With a microphone. Needless to say.. I'm a little bit dying.

JC goes onto say that they wanted to send good birthday wishes, cuz Birthday Dude's birthday is why we're all there, of course... (Well, I'm there cuz he's there, and he's there cuz it's Birthday Dude's birthday..) Apparently over the weekend, Birthday Dude was a bit miffed. JC relates this story.. 'Cuz everyone'll be here Sunday and leave Monday, and nobody's gonna BE here Tuesday..' Well.. JC wants to spread some birthday cheer. Cue the band.

DUM DA DUM DA DUM DA DA..

JC, with Special Guest Star, Lance Bass!> "TODAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!!"

Erin and Lara> *die*

Yes. BOTH of them sing the Beatles birthday song for BirthdayDude.

This finishes eventually. And Robin chatters more about birthday whatever.

My eyes are on the boys. Who are hanging together and chattering and giggling about God-knows-what, and have been since Lance walked out.

Oh... And Lance! Russia SO does a body good. Oh.... And.... He had the official Goober Grin on his face for much of the time he was up there...... AND, for much of the time he was up there.. He was blithely LanceDancing. Yes. I saw the LanceDance in person, feel free to kill me. Really. After all of this, really. D-E-D.

But yeah. That's more or less the end. They invite everyone to have some birthday cake. We decline, hang out, chat, talk, gush like crazy about what just transpired, and yadda yadda.

Now!

Various Other Things And Observations

1. JC seems to have a love for air-instrumentation. Not only did he repeatedly use the air guitar, but also the air drums.

2. Remember how I spoke of a cadre of fangirls that were singing along? When you sing along.. You get eye contact. Oh.... Holy HELL, JC Chasez looked at me. Numerous times. Thank you, God, for this blessing.

3. Hips. Thrusting. Gah. Oh. And repeated running of hands through hair. Lord.

4. Although they were cracking down like mad on cameras... Lara sneaked in her mp3 player/recorder. And recorded all the singing. Including the JC/Lance duet at the end. Now... No guarantees. We were right next to the speakers, and that ish was loud, man. So they may not have turned out. But there are the proper number of recorded sound files. And if they DO turn out, cross fingers and knock on wood, you'll be able to hear 'em. More news as it comes. Update... No go on the sound files. All garbled and no worky. Sowwy. =[

5. OH MY GOD.

6. HE WAS RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!

7. There were liberal pyrotechnics throughout the set. We were close enough that they actually burned Lara's arm a bit after the first time.

8. I Love JC Chasez.

9. Want Album Now.

10. If 5 songs does this to me, I'm just IMAGINING a full JC concert. Gah.

The end. And that's the way it is.

I found another review over at ChasezCafe:

fast-forward ten hours, and erin and i are on our way to the show, which was at the skin lounge at the palms. it's a poolside thing... kinda cool, although i bet it's nicer when the weather's not quite so hot. after a mishap involving being in line temporarily (and through no fault of our own... the palms staff didn't know what the hell they were talking about) for puddle of mudd, we got out there. it was just about ten o'clock, and nothing in this town ever starts on time, so when we were able to walk practically right up to the barricade at the front of the stage, i figured we were in for a long wait. much to my shock, the band members came onstage not five minutes later. in the meantime, erin spotted lance standing at the front of the VIP area, which was a raised platform enclosed in glass. there he was, hanging over the front railing and having himself a blast. that was wild, to just turn around and stare up at him once in a while. homeboy looks gooooooood. and he's #5 on my personal depth chart, so for me to say that tells you how good he looks. LOL.

ok! the show! after a surreal introduction by robin leach, of all people, the band started cooking and the dancers showed up. one notable thing about the band is that dave cook was on keyboards!!! he's so damn cute. didn't recognize any of the other players, and the only familiar dancer was chantal robson. her presence and JC's appearance on wade's show make me wonder whether wade did JC's new choreography. i think, having seen it, that it's entirely possible. i didn't actually recognize chantal until JC introduced her, though, because she had funky hair going on. all the dancers were decked out like peep show performers anyway. LOL. think madonna in the "true blue" video, and you'll get the idea.

the intro was the music from BMU, rocked out and loud. but when JC finally appeared at the back of the stage, the music abruptly changed to the first notes of A.D.I.D.A.S. and what an appearance... holy hell. it was especially amazing to me after having seen him that morning at the radio station, where he was all quiet and shy and unassuming. he is absolutely the definition of someone who comes alive on stage. he stood upstage and just posed... just... let us drink him in. his eyes were so dark and intense... then he did a couple of little head shakes, maybe a mouth wipe or two, then began sloooowly strutting forward, daring us not to worship him. oh. my. god. he didn't even need to sing after that. then when he did start singing, he almost immediately did this hip-rolling hump of the microphone stand. gah.

the intense sexiness was practically the theme of the show. it was like JC Chasez -- Grown-Up. @#%$. his hips... gah. GAH! it's never been a secret that the boy can dance, but i've never seen that kind of liquidity out of his hips before. and he wasn't shy about it. his pelvis was all over the damn place. LOL. meanwhile, his singing matched the intensity of his dancing, note for note. and i was like a foot away from him, since it was such a small stage and there was only one person standing between me and the barricade. *swoon*

now... the music! i have to preface this by saying that i hadn't been blown away by the clips that leaked. i liked "build my world" a lot, but the others, i was kind of... eh. but i trusted that on the album, JC would work his magic. can't vouch for the album yet, but in performance... gah.

A.D.I.D.A.S. just rocked live. just... wow. his voice still sounded all 80's-ish, which was pretty cool. but the live version is less with the adam ant synthesizer sound and more rocked out. it was... wow. it took my breath away. and then there was this dance break in the middle... it was so long i thought it was a separate song until he went back into the A.D.I.D.A.S. chorus afterwards. wow.

the song-with-no-name was next. it has a sort of reggae flavor to it, but his vocals sound very sting-like. it's laid back musically, but the lyrics aren't. i was trying to listen to them, and i really liked them at the time, but i'll be damned if i can remember any of it now. LOL.

then... "build my world"... *sigh* i knew from the first time i heard him sing "someone for everyone, but no one for me" that i was in trouble with this song. i couldn't wait to hear the whole song, and i wasn't even the tiniest bit disappointed. it's gorgeous. but what was even more amazing was JC's performance of it. he was so into it. oh my goodness. he looked like he was going to cry. when the backing vocals would be playing, he would sometimes be mouthing along with them and sort of shaking his head like he was just utterly lost in the song. it was incredible.

finally, he did "some girls". it was hard at times to concentrate on the song with all the stuff going on around him. LOL. all sorts of girl-groping amongst the dancers. and that's the thing i dislike about this song as the first single... the fact that so much attention will be paid to that angle. the song itself rocked. much like A.D.I.D.A.S., it was more rocked-out live, and it was so damn catchy. i was singing it in my head for hours afterward.

after that, we got a really special treat... lance! when i saw that he had a microphone in his hand, i was like... no way... sure enough, he and JC collaborated on a rendition of the chorus of "birthday" by the beatles. and wow... JC and lance... duetting... and you could hear each of them loud and clear and ... WOW. and they were absolutely adorable together. when someone else would be talking, the two of them would just be whispering to each other and giggling. hee. talk about a capstone for an amazing day.

so. that's pretty much that. JC was just amazing. seriously. i kept reading those reviews of his NYC showcase and being like, geez, these people are just gushing. but... yes. because... yes. wow. he was so intense and he sounded so great and his dancing was unreal. i'm telling you, it's a whole new side of him. i cannot freaking wait for his CD now.




"his pelvis was all over the damn place." OMFG!!!!!

THis performance is going to kill me. I just know it! I'm going to have to quit my job and leave my family to follow him on the road for a couple of months!!!!!!
