Khalid performed all of the songs on his “American Teen” album such as “Coaster,” “8TEEN,” “Saved” and “Another Sad Long Song.” Halfway through the concert, he added a surprise; he sang “Silence”, a song by Marshmello in which he was featured.

Khalid’s energy on the stage electrified the crowds as he jumped around and moved from left to right stage. He was wearing a yellow tracksuit and his background dancers changed costume a few times. For example, during his first song, “American Teen,” the dancers wore cheerleading outfits. His projected and loud voice filled every inch of the venue. His two background dancers were trivial, because ultimately, all the focus was on the superstar and his meaningful and relatable lyrics.

Later, Khalid turned it down by performing “Angels” acoustically. A spotlight and small stool accompanied him. The crowds leisurely waved their phone flashlights back and forth, creating a landscape that looked like a sky full of stars.

Bringing the energy back up, Khalid closed the concert with one of his most popular songs, “Young, Dumb, and Broke.” The crowd sang along with every word. Khalid’s contemporary R&B music paired with the venue of Radio City Music Hall was truly incredible. In heart of the city that never sleeps, Khalid definitely added to that energy and left audiences astounded with his amazing talent.
