![]() The two openers added to the bill's slapdash, mixed-bag vibe. ![]() Thanks to club-ready - if brainless - songs such as "We Dem Boyz," "KK" and "(Expletive) Drop" from his latest album "Blacc Hollywood," the set never sagged like it did back in 2012.Īnd finally, Khalifa seems to have killed off his annoying, signature, SpongeBob SquarePants-style chortle. At the end of "Mesmerized," he showed off his nimble flow a cappella. Near the end of "On My Level," Khalifa ripped off his ball cap and banged his head, purple dreads bouncing to the beat, then violently spiked a mic stand like he had scored the winning touchdown at the Super Bowl. Khalifa, though, made quite an impression with his 65-minute headlining set, backed by a DJ and a backing band dubbed "Kush and Orange Juice." As much as Khalifa loves to get stoned, he was remarkably fierce and focused - without the forced, set-padding party-hard banter or the distracting 15-foot bong from his last Eagles Ballroom appearance in 2012. "How many of you are stoned out of your minds?" Trainor asked at one point, seemingly amused and bewildered, and possibly banking that people would be so high they might forget she was even there. ![]() She was on stage a mere 10 minutes - literally, 10 minutes, less time than even the two openers preceding her - with no actual band, just prerecorded music and a couple of dancers.Īs the 20-year-old Trainor sang her second single "Lips Are Movin," lips were moving all over the ballroom, or taking puffs of "cigarettes" - and even the "Bass" finale failed to light up the crowd. Yet despite Trainor's recent singles-chart domination, the crowd was clearly there for Khalifa, and Trainor offered the bare minimum of her obligation. She's "All About That Bass." He's all about that bong.Īnd Wednesday night at the Rave's Eagles Ballroom, the most mismatched pair in recent Milwaukee concert history - girl power-generating retro-pop singer Meghan Trainor, and party-loving, tat-covered rapper Wiz Khalifa - came together for WXSS-FM (103.7)'s annual Kissmas Bash.
