DJs playing studio cuts, especially when they don't do any scratching, mixing or swerving tricks and the headliner isn't great at diverting from original vocal arrangements, turns a concert into an album listening party with no free food. This was likely the result of a limited budget, but I was teased with a couple of "live" tracks that left me wondering why every song wasn't done that way. Pitfall #2 and another unfortunate, regular occurrence with today's performers is there was DJ instead of a band and background singers. or they could've just been deleted, with awesome instrumentation and dance breakdowns as a replacement (this would help with non-lyric moments too can we say guitar solo?), but that would require a band. She could have done interesting sung renditions of the raps or harmonized delicately with them like her inspiration Mariah Carey does. Over half of Grande's set-list included features videos were shown of each rapper doing their lines, while Grande bopped around awkwardly waiting for her part to come back around. When on tour, this creates a problem because something has to go in that space. Having an abundance of songs with rap features is the plight of the average commercial artist these days (it's not that I dislike rap it's just every song doesn't need a rap). The fact there was a need to fill in and spice up brings me to one of the concert's pitfalls.


Impromptu ad-libs are an art form (that I swear Whitney Houston invented, though I know she didn't) Grande hasn't mastered yet. The only time she seemed to be straining or overdoing it was when she was trying to spice up tracked choruses and fill in non-lyric gaps and rap verses with ad-libs. She proved her chops weren't the concoct of studio magic, nailing all of her anticipated notes smoothly. Though several moves were repeated, Grande was at an improved ease with dance steps and was animated and bubbly, versus timid.

However, the 21-year-old pleasantly surprised me. All of this into account, I didn't expect much but to enjoy hearing live versions of my favorite songs from Grande's 2 albums, Yours Truly & My Everything. I know, I know, it's a rodeo and animals/cowboys would naturally would be a focus, but I'd bet my right hand that most of those who purchase tickets have music primarily in mind. The final kicker is that the contracted time allotted is usually an hour, which is pretty aggravating when the cattle show beforehand runs 2 hours, starting at 6:45pm. There's a video backdrop, but it doesn't help much because the way things are set up, no matter where you sit (unless it's directly in the middle section), your eyes will rely on the jumbo screens above for decent viewing. This means no convenience for costume changes or room for elaborate sets. Acts are often driven out to the scaffold. On the end of the HLSR, the turning stage is small in circumference and is in the middle of a dirt base in a round stadium. This was patently noticeable anytime she did hit single "Bang Bang" live with Jessie J, whose presence and vocals are nothing short of ferocious and supersede hers. In the television performances I've seen, she frequently appeared to look petrified and/or apathetic, and very "I'm more of a natural singer than a dancer" uncomfortable. On her end, she had some major sprucing to do with her stage presence, choreography and vocal delivery (i.e. We aim to dispatch all orders within 1-2 business days after receiving payment.There was a lot going against fairly new starlet Ariana Grande going into her 2015 Honeymoon Tour, particularly on its stop at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) in Texas.
