After having to cancel his Columbus show the night before due to illness, Chris powered through and brought his Indigoat tour to the United Center, along with a few friends.

Ty Dolla $ign was up first, performing a medley of his hits and features, including “Or Nah,” “Paranoid” and “Psycho.”

Tory Lanez got the crowd going with performing his own songs, like “Love,” and some of his favorite throwback classics, like Soul For Real’s “Candy Rain,” Bell Biv Devoe’s “Poison” and Jagged Edge’s “Where The Party At.”

When Chris came out, I was beyond excited. He’s been heavily featured in the soundtrack to my life since he first came out in 2005, so to finally see him live was amazing. While many artists come out in the dark and are impossible to see, the day glo effect that Chris Brown had made him mysterious and standout at the same time. Playing the title track from his latest album Indigo, Chris set the tone about how the night will be, with dancing and amazing vocals.

Chris’ set design was a reflection of his own art. Large than life size version of the monsters his often draws were on stage. Also the lights were reminiscent of the vibrant colors that he uses in his graffiti.

Chris performed a lot from Indigo, the album that this tour is supporting, however he did have a whole section of the show where he performed his classic songs, including his debut song “Run It!,” the anthem “Loyal” and one of my favorite gems, “Poppin”

This concert really showed Chris as the showman he is, an entertainer that can execute a show from top to bottom, considering every detail and giving an epic performance.
