Best Live Act in the world today?
I went to see Coldplay on Friday and holy hell do they put on a show, equally Muse are just flawless whenever they play bu then you have your popstars, both Beyonce and Gaga are in my top 5 favourite shows I've ever seen.
So, who do you think the best live act in the world today is? |

It's impossible to put them in order, but Gaga, Muse, Coldplay & Beyonce. I'd actually list Beyonce last purely for the fact that she often just sings a few lines from her songs and dances the rest, but her charisma makes my brain explode. Muse and Gaga are very Queen-esque.

My top 5have to be
Madonna Vocally not the best but her Overall presentation and showmanship wins hands down. All concerts with exception of Virgin Tour ColdPlay Vocally fantastic and Chris Martin has soo much energy on stage. Glastonbury 2011 Biffy Clyro Again vocally fantastic and again really knows how to get the crowd going. Glastonbury 2011 and Kylie Just for her catchy pop tunes you really leave in such a buzz. The original Showgirl Tour and Aphrodite. Queen Nothing more I can say Live they were just fantastic. Wembly. Could think of loads of other really good concerts been to but My worst 5 concerts ever are. Whitney Houston I'm your Baby Tonight Tour 91 Awful felt like I was in church being preached to. Steps Took my niece it was painful , they Definatly did not sing anything live, Also stupid Jackonory story going on felt it was an episode of play school. Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour, I was really looking forward to this but it was dire. Again it was Playschool on acid with a really stupid story theme going on. To be fair I also was coming down with the Flu. Kylie X Tour opening night Paris Setlist and order of song all wrong started really good second half was just awful. Thankfully she rearranged the entire set list and changed the song choice following the opening night. Meatloaf Again really looking forward to this but his vocals were awful subsequent tour dates were cancelled due to throat infection. Unfortunatly haven't had chance to attend another concert of his to make up for it. |

Muse-I just wish their setlists weren't so predictable. They have so many classic tracks that they could play but don't.
![]() Foo Fighters- usually play for 2hrs-30 mins of full on rock from their entire catalogue. Brilliant. Kasabian-always leave me wanting more, they never dissapoint. Janelle Monae who isn't my favourite artist but the sheer energy her and her band put into their shows are unrivalled. Lady Gaga- my little uns love her and I have to admit she puts on a bloody good show. |

Rammstein are the best live act ever. Their use of pyrotechnics is amazing anyone who's not familiar with them should check them out you might not love the music but I can guarantee you'll be amazed by the stage show

In the world?...
I think there are billions of people worldwide who have never heard nor like the artists listed here. Western music culture doesnt dominate the world, there are thousands of other acts from other continents that would get a bigger vote. |

U2? They're all stage. They were dire at Glastonbury and Bono had his back to us all most of the time acting like the messiah. Their success confuses me entirely.

Kylie and Gaga are my top two anyway. Have seen them both live a few times and they never fail to disappoint.

Toby Keith puts on a great show, Biffy never ever disappoint, Tenacious D were superb the last time I saw them, The Creepshow have been excellent every single time. Jim Jones Revue are stunning.
