Live reviews

  Iyaz was surprisingly really good live. I wasn’t exactly a fan when I went to see him live, thinking that his songs were just so standard pop, and his voice a bit nasally. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the production and edit of his songs are what caused this, because the guy can sing very well.

  His performance was a joint show with Charice since they were both riding the high of “Pyramid.” It was already known that Charice, due to her large youtube following, had a powerful voice, so when he came and started the song, he blew everyone away. His voice is actually pleasant sounding. He was also very engaging with the audience, being the one to get the crowd to clap in rhythm to the song. After the song finished out he also spoke to the crowd, addressing them as the city that they were playing in. He kept thanking them for their presence, asking how much they were loving Charice, and the show as a whole as a way of goading them to send more energy to the stage. In addition to “Pyramid” he also performed his single “Replay,” which was leaps and bounds better than the version I had heard so many times on the radio.
