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

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.

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.

He is a very talented artist and knows how to engage with his public. The concert was good.
