OneRepublic Reviews

GOOD BUT NEVER AGAIN IF

Actually great concert except for a couple of reasons. First, WAY TOO MUCH TALKING - worst I have ever seen in over 100 concerts. Second, too much time on his writing credentials (again too much talking), and too much time singing those songs. Third, I think they screwed up on timing. There did not seem to be the 2 encore songs (per the set list). It seems they ran out of time (due to the TALKING), did not do the encore break and rushed the ending. Everyone knows a hard stop at 11 p.m. Basically ruined a great concert.

WHAT HAPPENED?

We bought 2 ($250) front row tickets to a One Republic concert and ended up at a Ted Talk? Concert started amazing….high energy, great songs and was so excited! 1/3 if the way in he started talking about all the songs he wrote and then playing clips. He said it was going to be 15-20 mins….over an hour later I’m still listening to his resume and all the songs he wrote? I think Ryan is incredibly talented and I love all the songs he wrote….but I signed up for a concert to hear his music? At 11pm we realized it wasn’t getting any better and couldn’t take the talking anymore. We left disappointed and so sad we didn’t get to hear more of the music from his albums:/ huge waist of money and horrible concert.

TOO MUCH TALKING - NO ENERGY

Was really looking forward to the One Republic concert last night. Started out great but about 4-5 songs in Ryan (Lead singer), slows everything down and begins to talk and sing potions of songs from other artists he was involved with. While most of us know he is talented, we came to hear him sing, not talk. Especially in a stadium where you can't really understand every word they are saying. We started to get tired of hearing him talk and several in our group even talked about leaving early. Not a very good vib. I hope he eliminates some of the talking and sings more of his hit songs in the future (he has so many!).

TALK TALK AND NO SING

Concert started out amazing and then he stopped to talk about all the songs he has written for other artists….super valid….I get it. Cool! BUT….he went on and on and on and on with so much talk….it was legit a downer. We actually packed up and left and didn’t hear counting stars or I ain’t worried until we were in the parking lot. Weird how he went on the “self validating” talking spree. We were bummed and left early. ☹️

ONE REPUBLIC NEEDS TO SING MORE AND NOT TALK ON THEIR SHOW

I was yesterday on the BBT pavilion (as known with the old name) to see One Republic. Super exited to finally see them live but it happen to be such a disappointment and a boring concert. Through all the concert he (Ryan) kept giving us his resume by telling to the audience how many songs he wrote for other artists, tried to sing portions of them, and talking all the time (more than singing). It is so great that he has produced all those hits and has such an extensive experience in music, but people where there to sing and have a good time. We ended up listening to his talks more than his songs or performance. I’m so disappointed because I know they have great songs and I love the group but there was no energy, people started leaving, and he didn’t keep up with the energy of the crowd. He needs to change his performance. It was a bad concert, weirdly. Sorry mate!

DON'T BOTHER GOING IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO HIM PAT HIMSELF ON THE BACK!

Sucked! Sucked some more! Kept on sucking! 40 minutes in....he pats himself on the back for writing songs for other people and just Kept going. Don't waste your money. Buy a One Direction ticket instead! I want my money back!
