ONTD Original: These Were Mall Concerts

Having up and coming pop stars performing at malls scarcely exists today but was a true relic of 80s/90s/and a bit of 2000s yesteryears. Safiya Nygaard in her dressing like it was 1987 video lowkey gave me a frame of reference of how it was an actual thing for artists to reach out to younger audiences by

Aww I like Britney's live vocals!

I wish she wasn't so insecure about them :(

malls are so about dead

one closest to me 10 of the stores are closed and half the food court is closed too.

Awww. Back when Britney used to sing live! I liked her voice!

Hey! O-Town isn't forgotten! I saw the My2K tour and got my life! Except Dream weren't singing live and it was weird watching them lip to old ass vocals.

The lineup sounds lit in a niche way but could do without Ryan Cabrera lmao! But disappointing for the fans when one of the O-Town guys dipped and didnt want to return (A posh spice tea) but he somehow made time to appear in the new boy band documentary.

Ashley Parker Angel is the dude that left. Why do I remember that? lol

I was late and missed most of Ryan Cabrera. I was ok with that. lol

a somewhat obscure jpop group I listened to back in the day called SweetS had a mall concert music video for one of their songs and I remember thinking it was so cool lmao. I kind of wish it was still a thing tbh, most concert venues make me nervous.

omg I remember them. back when avex esp were pushing that WeiRd CapS tHing ~in THE hearT~ I remember i-fans trying so hard to make them a thing and then they disappeared after a couple years. but avex also can't Group to save their life unless their name is AAA I guess. (not the group that I thought would make it tbh)

[mzgrottesca]

Avex have fucked up basically every girl group I've ever enjoyed from them LOL Bright will always leave me especially bitter.

[senshicalico]

OMG I totally forgot about Bright. I remember they had a few bops but I couldn't find them anywhere. Then they broke up and people were like "Who?"

THIS IS A BOPP

I love this song so much!

[badtz_m]

It reminds me of this Brandy song a bit in the production-

[trendsnational]

Wow this underrated album tho!

[origliasshole]

I loved Dream’s music so much.

I’ve witnessed a few Jonas Brothers mall concerts.
