Sam Smith at Abbey Road

[jilllbirks · 9/10 · 31 October 2020]

Excellent production, well thought out, good mix of songs, anecdotes, clips from the past. The back drop was interesting. Despite social distancing the atmosphere and enjoyment were the elemets that dominated.

Sam Smith's voice was, as always, superb. Never fails. Their personality has developed and matured. Sam is also an entertainer now, good presenter and lovely humour. Can't give them anything other than full marks. The songs from the new album are winners. Truly a superstar.

What worked well was the involvement of the band and backing singers. Fans have become familiar with Sam's support team, but their own talents were showcased. Congratularions to LaDonnaMarie; lovely voice.

Loss of one star for the technical blip that stopped some fans who had paid from entering the site. An email this morning offered them the opportunity to log in again and the show will be available for a week. As it should. Fortunately, one fan livestreamed the show on IG so that was a great service.

Had me at the 1st note.

The haters are just jealous. Sam Smith is one of a kind. His voice, the backup singers and the band had me glued to the music. He sings the essence of R&B...straight from the heart.

A Gay Man with A Great Voice

Sam Smith's voice is just pleasing to the ears. Great to see a performer who can freely express himself so we can appreciate his talent. His song lineup could've been better but he picked 80% of his greatest songs.

Pardon me if I used the wrong pronoun.

Excellent!

It was so good to see, really enjoyed it, And to see Sam still an great performer after 9 years in the business how polished and professional. Breathtaking .

Loved every minute of this

I laughed, I cried and felt every emotion. The energy and connection with Sam and their longtime band members and back up vocalists is apparent. Everything flowed perfectly and I've watched it many more times since. It's a little different without the crowd energy at a typical concert but we sang from our living room. Bucket list concert definitely!

OMG

Talented, excellent, beautiful...I'm absolutely obsessed. This vocal!!! That was very gentle show but it's not boring. Time after time- sounds fresh and interesting...Sam took my heart. I was on this online concert and I can't wait to hear that angel deep voice again 💔

I hate when you are supposed to like something...

[durham100 · 1/10 · 23 May 2021]

Even when it is not even mediocre. This is bland, boring and totally self absorbed narccisitic attention seeking. There are so many more people who have so much more talent who are undiscovered because they don't exploit every method of self promotion that has nothing to do with ability and in the current climate make it impossible to challenge a fake, self promoting attention addict. In short this is vacant, pointless and only serves to fulfill his owns outcomes. In short Smith is a very poor reality TV show performer who without the medias obsession with sexuality would be a nobody.

Not Great

I think we were warned by Sam themselves at the beginning, set yourself comfy. Yes they have a lovely voice and I personally like his energy, but this is quiet calm and I don't get that vibrant energy he can transmit in his music. Many time I got bored and distracted.
