Saturday, July 31 HP presented a free MySpace Live concert with B.o.B. at Center Stage. With his songs dominating radio and music charts, B.o.B. is undoubtedly one of the hottest musical acts this summer. Many agree. Hundreds of fans lined up around 17th and West Peachtree Street hours before doors to Center Stage opened.
B.o.B. did not disappoint. His show was a well produced one. Like many hip hop shows, there was flair, lights, dancers, and guest stars like
Playboy Tre. However, B.o.B. provided that although he can entertain and expertly rock the microphone, he is a solid musician. B.o.B. broke from the flashy norm, grabbed his guitar, and showed that he didn't need all the glitz and glamour to entertain. He performed many of hits including "Lovelier Than You," dedicated to his daughter in the audience, while the crowd continued to dance and sing along. With an audience of teenage girls to grown men all equally engaged with his music, it is indisputable that B.o.B. is more than a one-hit wonder. Let's just hope his future arena tours are free too.
