Hunter also wrote a review for Sliimy’s performance!
The second Sliimy’s shimmery-sequined coat stepped out on stage the audience knew they were in for a treat. Perez Hilton hails him to be the next singing sensation and if Saturday nights show was any indicator, I’d say he is right on. Before the show I had the privilege to interview Sliimy (pronounced like Jimmy). While not on stage, he has the confidence of a thirteen-year-old girl with acne, but that is what makes him so likeable. He is so non-chalant and untouched by fame that he comes off as your typical person. However, he clearly has star power once he hits the stage. Sliimy performed a short 5 song acoustic set that served as the opener for the show. Decked out in sequins and an array of colors, Sliimy is a breath of fresh air to the music scene. He sings completely live and is flawless while doing so. He, by conventional means, isn’t a very good dancer, but for him his jerky movements and cute side steps work to his advantage (He takes advantage of every moment for a little dance break). You cannot help but smile and root for this artist. His smile is infectious and his music is too. Although I’m sure half the crowd was unaware of most of his music that did not keep them from jamming and getting into the singer’s material. He really got the crowd moving once he performed his cover of the legendary Miss Britney Spears massive hit single, “Womanizer.” Now, people have covered this song left and right, but Sliimy’s version is the cream of the crop. He played with the melody and it totally paid off. After that he performed his colorful and definitely bold first single, “Wake Up.” The song is so infused with personality and vigor that it is hard to not love it. Definitely a song that you can listen to on repeat for hours. Sliimy ended his set with a sort of unconvential little pop diddy called “Trust Me.” The song is so playful you will feel like a 5 year old on the playground. The chorus is killer and will be engrained into your mind by the end of the song. Before ending the set and leaving the stage, Sliimy paid thanks to Perez Hilton and most of all his fans he has here in the states. With his head level and his eyes filled with determination, there is no doubt that Sliimy will be a huge sensation here in America.
