Robyn Will Gladly Jack U Off
Not to be one of those douchey “I live in New York and OMG I get to go to everything” bloggers, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that last night I saw the first American show by Swedish teenpop star-turned-bloggers’ delight Robyn, and my reaction can be summed up by this IM that I got from a friend also in attendance: “Robyn: awesome or AWESOME!!! ?” The answer, of course, is “both, duh!” This surprisingly decent phonecam video of her take on Prince’s “Jack U Off”–part of her three-song encore, which also included a reworking of her 10-plus-years-old hit “Show Me Love”–is a little grainy and there’s some dude who starts jabbering away at 1:46, but it captures the frenzy that she whipped the crowd into pretty well, and I only hope that she becomes enough of a pop star that everyone reading this will someday have the chance to witness this particular spectacle in person as well.
