Devi Sri Prasad

Frankly, the DSP-Chicago concert is the worst concert we have attended. It is at best a mix of karaoke singing and record dancing type, completely amateurish live performance. High School kids here would do much better than what DSP and his group has performed. We love DSP songs and we certainly believe that DSP is one of the best contemporary Telugu music directors, of course not in the league of Ilayaraja or AR Rehman. But, we expected a decent live musical concert from him, not amateurish singing to pre-recorded tracks. Everybody can see that the few musicians standing on the stage were not playing any music, they were just pretending to show that they were playing the instruments. The background music was played from CD/music players, and the singers were doing some-kind of Karaoke singing. It was a total waste of our time and money, completely disappointed. Please, some of the organizers should tell DSP that he should do what is he is best at (play music), and not try to do what he is not good at (dancing and talking), he may be thinking that he is Michael Jackson or Prabhu Deva, is he?

The concert started almost an hour late at about 8 PM, but it didn't disappoint us in any way. The entire show was so entertaining that we didn't want to leave at the end(Don't take my words seriously, I am a die hard fan of DSP) :) Malathi, Neha, Sagar, every singer in the concert has entertained us through the show. DSP - He is not just singer or dancer, he is a pretty good host. He kept us busy and entertained through out the show with his amazing "Hosting" skills ! I am not sure if anyone else would have that energy. My final suggestion is "MUST VISIT SHOW"

- Show started an hour late - Show started with some local talent dances and a skit - An unnecessary Fashion show (keep watch for this may be go get a beverage) - Not worth it - Actual event started with singers in his troupe singing to recorded tracks with some cheesy dances made of local hires - DSP steps in after an hour with a lot of hype created by the anchor - DSP was on stage for 4 or 5 times,each time for 10 minutes - Between his breaks others singers filled in with some more songs on recorded tracks - Dummy orchestra - More dancing than singing. - Bottom line - looked like a hashed up Audio release function

The performer came late at around 650 and had to end the show by 8pm. With the breaks in between, he barely performed for 30 minutes. The performances were good but would have been nice if he came on time and performed longer for the money taken.

This was the worst ever. It was supposed to start at 4:30 and didnt start till 6:20 and ended at 8:00. On stage time of the main performer was 20 minutes. Felt bad for the kids who had to dance without music.

The DSP show supposed to start at 4:30, and it started at 6:30 worst part is show closed at 8 PM. Vey much disappointed. The main musician DSP hardly performed 4 songs. When DSP schedule is hectic, why they even held a show in Fairfax,VA. I would give 0 rating for this show. I'm not doubting DSP ability /talent but he didn't have the energy to perform on that day. As he had already given a performance in chicago a day earlier.

Not for everyone, I hope he improves in future to attract all age group audiences

It is one of the worst show I have ever seen. This is not like a live musical concert, and it is like a Dance concert. There was no time sense, no proper singers (Except Neha, Sooraj and Malathi), there was no proper musical instruments performance (Except Violin play by Ms.). This is like a general local event cenlebration and not a like a celebrity or Famous personolity event ( May be like Ugadi, Diwali Celebrations with local peopler performaces). Totally it is not worth going for this event.

They started the show late and only performed for 1.5 hr out of the 3.5 hrs promised. Waste of money.

Expected lot, but he didn't perform that long. not the worth money that we paid for tickets
