Pink doing trapeze and aerial silk routines WHILE ACTUALLY SINGING. Seen it live and its something to watch because she is really singing not using a track. Amazes me everytime how can she focus on the routine while belting out the song.

Yes! Pink, Heart, Indigo Girls, and Sarah McLachlan. The Lilith ladies can do no wrong, onstage or off. Not to mention the Soundgarden boys - they blow away all the douchey Justins, Adams, and Directions, and those guys are in their 50's and still rock hard.

DYKE!!!! That's right big mouth dried up ole hag wagging your OPINIONS all over the internet but jump on anyone else that has a different opinion than you, I've been reading ALL about you and followed your nasty ass til I found out who you really are! A disgusting carpet licking DYKE!! HAHAHAAAAAAAAA!! You must be one miserable dumped on rejected all alone hated no good think who you are but you ain't nobody BITCH!! The way you rip anyone you don't agree with a new asshole proves what a miserable sorry excuse for a human being you have become. I guess the only way you can find the smallest piece of affection is to turn to lickers! You disgust me and now that I have given you the same respect you show everyone that has a different opinion than you, in public I add, I will be wasting not another second reading your comments or even thinking about you ever again-PATHETIC OLE LIZ...HAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!

Yes Pink, I don't know how she sings live and does all the stunts.

Her voice command and breath control are amazing when doing the acrobats and singing. I read where she said its easier for to sing when flipping and doing stunts then just being on stage as she is in her own world and she doesn't feel everyone's eyes on her.

I don't go to many concerts, I totally blame that place I live but from the few I've seen the best ones were One Direction (fight me, they were great), Phoenix and Vampire Weekend. Also Arcade Fire. Absolutely amazing.

Justin Timberlake! I've seen him 4x in the last year and a half & he certainly doesn't disappoint. Like, I revert back to my 11 year old self seeing JT on stage. #noshame

Beyonce - obviously.

Jay Z - He has such charisma on stage. At the Legends of the Summer Tour w/ JT, I actually found Jay Z more entertaining. He doesn't need the hype of a big stage.

Jessie Ware - She's still a relatively new artist unless you're already a fan of her music, but her voice is amazing. She does some great stuff with her band and has one of loop machines to do her own background vocals.

Yuna - another one who has spectacular vocals. She's super nice and humble.

Sara Bareilles - ugh, I just love her. I've only seen her once at a free Jimmy Kimmel taping, so it was only like 4 songs. She BLEW ME AWAY. I've been wanting to see her full show, but I've never had the opportunity. Her vocals are so on point and she's so much better live. And she has a great stage presence as well.

Sara Bareilles <3

Justin Timberlake is my everything. What is wrong with meeee

Zac Brown Band = flawless. I've seen them everytime they've come to my hometown and not only is the music even better than it is on a studio track, but the atmosphere is awesome...and I have to second Foo Fighters and single out Dave Grohl (who of course is one of the coolest people ever)

Agreed with Daisy, One Direction put on an incredible show. Imagine Dragons was also unbelievable. At one point during Radioactive, they pretty much played instrument musical chairs and played each other's instruments. Insane.

Darren Criss! He pretty much sounds exactly the same as he does on any of his recorded stuff and he's so charming and adorable onstage, especially if you see him in a smaller venue like I did.

I agree! Darren Criss has a beautiful voice live! I saw him in concert and he was awesome. And he's sooo sweet to his fans!

I know it's already been said, but Taylor Swift puts on a SHOW! Its not that she sounds super great live, its the production. There are things coming out of the ceiling and dancing and then she came out flying over the audience! It was one of the best concerts I've been to.
Another great one was the Jonas Brothers (RIP). I saw them so many times growing up! I've seen them at club shows and in an arena and they were always so fun! The always sounded great live too! Also always a good excuse to see Nick Jonas's butt!

I agree with everyone who said Arctic Monkeys, I saw them at Finsbury Park this April and they were AWE. SOME.

One act who really surprised me was Ed Sheeran, I went to see him knowing some of his songs but not a massive fan and left so overwhelmed- his voice is so amazing live and his musicality is unreal, so talented.

Queen Bey obvs, the title of this thread should be altered to say 'Which Musical Acts (besides Beyonce) Are The Best To See Live' ;)

Coldplay and Taylor Swift for sure!

I wanna see Coldplay so badly.

I'm gonna go with Christina Aguilera. The woman can sing and she has an amazing stage presence!

Arcade Fire

Arctic Monkeys

Jack White

Kid Rock

Bon Jovi

The Boss Bruce Springsteen

My Morning Jacket

The Black Keys

Sorry I'm a rocker not a popper.

AGAINST ME! They were unreal and it was so much fun, and admittedly nostalgic because they've been one of my favorite bands since 2004ish.

Also amazing: Pretty Lights, Major Lazer (even though I'm too old and tired to see Diplo anymore), Pictureplane, Tensnake, and Aretha Franklin (for suuuure.)

(P.S. I would LOVE you to do a "worst live acts" thread because yo girl Sam has got a lot of opinions on that one.)

YES Major Lazer! So good

You read my mind -- we're doing it next week!

Arctic Monkeys. Seen them live nine times since 2007 and they're always AMAZING live. But the fun crowd is a big part of the experience too so that helps.

Holy crap, that's a lot!

Muse puts on an awesome show! And um I got dragged to this concert so maybe it's because I had zero expectations but Brad Paisley put on one heck of a show. And damn if I didn't want one of his guitars he was handing out like candy.....

I really loved Frank Ocean! His voice is amazing live.

People I've seen live multiple times:
Justin Timberlake. I've been to all of his solo tours and Legends of Summer. Its amazing what kind of shows he can put on
Pink: solo tours and opening for JT. The sheer athleticism of her performances while singing
One Republic- so great live
Lady Gaga- I know she's love it or hate it but Monsters Ball was one of the most impressive concerts I've ever been to.
Beyonce- no explanation needed
Jay Z- solo tour, On the Run Tour, Legends of Summer- also no explanation needed. He can orchestrate a show
Lady A- saw them before they blew up and several times after in nashville. so great
Carrie Underwood- amazing vocals live
U2- legends in concert

I find country artists to be amazing live! I just saw Dierks Bentley this weekend and the energy was insane! Also, they generally don't need any sort of auto tune, so their singing is on point.

One of my absolute favorites was The Foo Fighters. They were so much better than I expected, and I'm dying to see them again. I also really loved seeing Drake live. He had so much energy and was so into it.

My favorite live show was Bruce Springsteen! He did a super long set and made his way into the crowd and drank someone's beer. It was awesome. Also, Paul McCartney was amazing live. My favorite concerts are always the ones that have singers that love what they do and just play the music, the big theatrical shows with costume/set changes never do it for me.

BUT BEYONCE.

...Beyonce is the only exceptionnnnnnnnnn

Ugh, please.

Since I like people that actually SING their songs, and don't just let the background music do everything for them, I'm gonna say Iggy Azalea & Rita Ora -- those girls KILL IT.

Ooooh I wanna see both of them.
