Shawn Mendes: Live in Concert

4/10 - while he may be a good musician, Mendes turns out to be a rather boring and sometimes irritating performer in this Netflix concert film

It's amazing and for someone who has never been to a SM concert, I'm excited to go to one now. You can really feel like you're there.

I happened to be in Auckland, NZ when his concert came thru and thought about going to the show because I like his music,and he is a talented singer and musician. Glad I didn't, because according to this concert film he only sings about half the show and lets the annoying, screaming audience sing the other half and his choice of stage attire is an ugly wife beater t-shirt. Dude...you're a pop star...start acting and dressing like one. He still hasn't developed any stage presence as well. The behind the scenes footage with Camila is only mildly interesting, supporting the fact he's a pretty bland guy. This whole doc decision was a very bad idea and will only please his young fans and won't bring anyone else to the party.

The concert has a very bad intro, he keeps asking fans to sing and jump. He keeps singing the same chorus over and over again. The transition is boring.

While I am considered a big fan, this concert is atrocious. This feels like a mass karaoke event with the karaoke master being SM. This concert should be a drinking game. Drink every time he says "sing with me", "jump", "sing", "how are you doing Toronto?" "Louder", "I love you so much" I guarantee you, everyone will be illegally inebriated halfway through this show.

I dare you to find one song he sang completely without asking the audience to sing. I thought having a duet would stop him from making it a trio...but no, he managed to tell Toronto to sing lines.

I don't understand why he keeps asking people how they are doing. Have you been asked by a friend or a family member how you are repeatedly? Quite irritating. And how much feeling has changed in 10 minutes? 20?

Full disclosure, there is still 5 minutes of this concert so maybe the last two songs will be sang in full. I doubt it.

He does have a good voice. Great falsetto.

But the worst bit it is the interspersed motivational speaking moments that was cringy.

I hope he learns how to put a show on because it would be a waste. I don't deny the audience looked thrilled being able to sing Shawn's songs along with him. It must be a wonderful experience.
