Right in the heart of Omaha, Nebraska, I watched the first weekend of Coachella 2018. And let's just say, it was epic. From Beyoncé to Post Malone, to the Weeknd, there was too much good music and crazy malfunctions for one music festival. So I'm going to break it down for you, one night, one singer, and one disaster at a time.
1. Beyoncé
First of all, THERE WAS A DESTINY'S CHILD REUNION. I REPEAT. THERE WAS A DESTINY'S CHILD REUNION. I AM SO HAPPY THAT I CAN'T STOP TYPING IN CAPS. BEYONCÉ IS QUEEN AND SHE ALWAYS WILL BE.
THE BEGINNING OF HER SET WAS EVERYTHING STARTING WITH HER SONG 'CRAZY IN LOVE'. Okay, I really gotta stop this whole caps thing. All in all, Beyoncé's performance was everything I wanted and more. Jay Z made an appearance, and we were really able to see their love story unfold. All hail Queen B.
2. The Weeknd
As videos come out of The Weeknd's performance at Coachella, let's just say it was amazing. He has a way of making you feel like you are on stage with him performing every single song, and that takes true talent.
The Weeknd got emotional when performing his smash hit, "Call Out My Name." He is not afraid to show his feelings, which makes him a true man.
3. Post Malone
This needs to be addressed: Post Malone can do a concert when he is under the influence of both alcohol and weed. Tell me he's not a world class performer. Because of his decision to pre game, he had to have the audience help him finish each song (along with his pre recorded track in the background.) But he did bring out 21 Savage for "Rockstar" and TY Dolla $ign for his recent hit, "Psycho."
Here is another video of Post Malone's performance which included a Slash-esque smashing of his guitar after his concert.
4. Eminem
Eminem put show stopping performance bringing out 50 Cent and Dr. Dre to perform with him Sunday night. This put the extra pop that was necessary following the night of the Queen herself, Bey.
He performed all of his popular songs such as "Lose Yourself" and "Not Afraid" dedicating it to his fans, after remaining sober for 10 years.
Get ready for round two of Coachella which is this weekend starting on Friday with the same performers all over again. I know I'm ready for another night of Beyoncé and her near dress malfunctions and Post Malone performing cross faded and not hitting any of his notes. Stay tuned for a review of Weekend two.
