The Ziggo Dome was sold out, 17,000 were there. At the movies, the atmosphere is elated, but critics are not entirely positive about the performance of Pharrell last night. The intensity was missing.
The previous occurrence of Pharrell in the Netherlands, at the North Sea Jazz, the reactions were also not favorable. Then there was an excuse: Pharrell was tipsy. This time, tossed the singer, producer and world star and he knew not to appoint the country in which he was at one time. He thanked the Netherlands, even for the success of the song Happy , which was the first one here (and less than 49 weeks remained in the top 40).
NRC: this was the triumph of the producer Pharrell ★★★ ☆☆
The role of foreman fit Pharrell not obvious, writes our reviewer Hester Carvalho today NRC Handelsblad :
“Pharrell was singing back and forth, but his most notable feature that seductive falsetto singing, did not reach the desired intensity, for example, Frontin ‘ and Gust Of Wind . He missed notes, and sounded desperate. “
The best moment was at the end of the concert, Carvalho writes when the music after valve Happy for a short time played .
“Pharrell Williams had fans brought on stage, everyone was dancing, confetti fluttered, and Williams dashing relax between musicians and supporters, as if he was with friends at a party. (…)
“Pharrell is at his best when he can boost a party. Others So this evening was rather the triumph of Pharrell producer, then by Pharrell singer “
whirling confetti and happy fans at Happy:.
Nu.nl: mixed feelings
There is no doubt that Pharrell a brilliant producer, set nu.nl. But live? Then he does not convince writes the news site.
(just like at North Sea Jazz, ed.) In the Ziggo Dome Pharrell Williams leaves the audience with mixed feelings. To his truckload of hits will not lie, because the songs prove once again proven party songs. (…) The background singers miming clearly the vocals of Gwen Stefani and Snoop Dogg raps with a band. It feels lazy and cheap. Moreover, seems to be on a good sound engineer, as the room sound is simply appalling
Get Lucky there skimped:.
AD:. Well happy but unconvincing
AD refers to the occurrence (‘substandard’) of Pharrell on NSJ; and the newspaper saw little progress. He was sober this time drawn but well
“Without a voice with great range fell Pharrell frequently to backing singers if he shortened the songs, such as Blurred Lines , and Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl , simply considerably. Because he was visually not particularly generous – five dancers and a fairly simple projection screen – simply fell Pharrell in the flesh rather against “
Blurred Lines:
Parool: the real spectacle held off ★★★ ☆☆
Het Parool is milder on the occurrence of Pharrell, already mentions the Amsterdam newspaper show no spectacle. His voice was good, his rap was good, his songs are always good. But the décor that was “downright skinny.” And the music? Critic Peter Brummelen writes:
“sounds on the record that when Pharrell or the many artists with whom he works as a producer or songwriter often downright brilliant. How do you reproduce that live? There are musicians busy at work on stage, but we also hear background vocals of singers who do not stand. It raises the uncomfortable question of what music is all even more preprogrammed. (…) What is the encore will be clear. And there are all those 17,000 people in the Ziggo Dome very happy to. “

Metro: Pharrell disappoints
The conclusion of Metro is: well-produced songs are no guarantee of a good live show.
“It started promising with whipping Come Get It Bae , from Pharrells latest album Girl. So promising that we even sent by an enthusiastic piece of text for the Metro Wednesday, just in time for the deadline. It was too premature: immediately afterwards in versions Frontin ‘ and Marilyn Monroe Clearly Pharrell sings minimize itself. The few times that he complete sentences (it) sings, he sounds hoarse. At tricks not at all. “He ventures
Pharrell sat yesterday in RTL Late Night, where the Concertgebouw Orchestra performed:
