The man has talent.

During various times, at the B.O.B and Asher Roth concert at my University, people started to walk out. When Asher Roth exited the stage, it was just a few groups of people and that was understandable. Maybe those people just came to see Asher Roth and not B.O.B. It was also getting quite late so, maybe they were tired or something.

There were many possible reasons for them to just leave.

Yet, I stayed. A significant amount of seats were still filled. There was a lot of people remaining.

A lot of people remained dancing to the random music the DJ decided to play. It was fun singing to the songs that I knew. The best songs were the songs everyone knew. Eyes would widen, faces would brighten and the room would erupt with lyrics accompanied by an occasional energized, "Ohhhhh! I love this song!" 

When the Spice Girls played those who cared belt out the lyrics...including me. I have no shame to say it. That was a nice experience, "If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends. Make it last forever, friendship never ends." Yes, I don't own those lyrics, The Spice Girls do. The DJ kept on doing that too through the night. 

"Making my way down town, walking fast, faces passed and I'm home bound." Di, di, di, di, di, di, ding, du, du, du, du, doo, di, di, di, di, di, di, ding, du, du, du, doo. 

For your information that is an air piano displayed with words.

"Staring blankly ahead, just making my way, making a way through the crowd."

"And I need you." Dramatic air piano. 

"And I miss you." Air piano. Everyone did that.

"And now I wonder..."

"A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton for those interested.

However, the DJ dragged his music fillers on and on. Maybe B.O.B. had some trouble back there behind the black back drop underneath the basketball hoops. Missing his hat? Lost his cellphone? Maybe even his shoe? I was getting bored and so were my two friends that I went with. During the songs I didn't know, I let my eyes wander around. I saw people dancing, singing, texting and etc. I even noticed there was a disco ball. Spotting that disco ball made me a happy person. We better have a disco party at some point here at my University. We should bring back to 70s with the Bee Gees, bell-bottoms, Barrymore collars and everything. Those were the thoughts that came to my mind when my mind started to wander too. 

Then finally B.O.B arrived. Cue cheering! Yeah! Wooo! Yea! Cheering! The wait was worth it. Even though I didn't know that many songs by him I enjoyed myself. Everyone who stayed did. However, as soon as he pulled out a guitar...half of the audience left. 

What? 

Come on.

I, on the other hand, gained a new respect for B.O.B. He played the guitar very well and he serenaded those who decided to stay with his voice. The man has talent. He sang beautiful songs with the guitar as his accompaniment. I just couldn't believe half the audience disappeared. 

I guess half the audience only appreciates him when he raps? That is a sad, sad thought. I wonder how he felt when half of the audience parted. As an artist, that must have hurt him. Well, it was getting late...maybe they disappeared because, they were tired. Thinking positive!

Well, too bad for them they missed his encore which was the song "Airplanes." I love that song. If only Eminem materialized at the concert too. The version of that song with him in it too is nice.

Then he played this stating that it is one of his favorite songs: "Kids" by MGMT. Yes, I have respect for B.O.B.
