Brown kicked off his performance, literally with fire and flames to “Say It With Me,” followed by other songs off F.A.M.E., his most recent album, including “She Ain’t You" and “Next 2 You,” to “Look At Me Now.” He also brought Tyga back on stage during “Deuces,” and to Kevin McCall, another artist on the track. Brown even took it several years, singing hits from much older albums, such as “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” from Chris Brown, “With You” from Exclusive. He also performed songs he was featured in, like "My Last" with Big Sean. Unfortunately, Big Sean was not onstage with him that evening.
What was most impressive about the evening was his closing performance to “Beautiful People,” also from F.A.M.E. During those few minutes, Brown and his backup dancers wore electronically-enhanced clothing that lit up according to the choreography. The singer was also attached to cables and did flips in the air, on top of being suspended mid-air towards the end of his overall concert.
There was not really a time where the crowd...of women, did not go wild. Brown even highlighted the dominance of women in his audience that night.
"Where all my ladies at?" was followed by a pandemonium of noise that could have easily been confused for a natural disaster. On the contrary, when brown asked for his "fellas," the response was nowhere close in comparison.
"There are like 15 of y'all in here tonight," Brown said with a slight chuckle. Agreed, but there might have been a bit more than that...maybe 17 or 18.
Some of his special attendees included Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson's daughter, who Brown gave the royal treatment to. When the artist learned the King of Pops' daughter was attending, he gave her and a few friends front-row seats to his performance, on top of a meet-and-greet hangout prior to the his show. Jackson was even seen throughout the night throwing up hearts for Brown on the big-screen televisions.
Brown truly graced the stage, showing off his vocal talents and choreography, ultimately letting everyone know why he deserved to be on-stage inside the Staples Center, for the first time, to a sold-out crowd (of girls, women, mothers, daughters, and more).Without a doubt, Brown's first performance at this venue will not be his last.
