Panic! At The Disco is dominating everything now. Their performance of “This Is Gospel” on Fox’s new years eve show is just..too perfect. There’s something chilling about how flawless something can be and this one just takes the cake. I genuinely don’t understand how there can be no slip ups, no mishaps. Even in the higher bits of the tune (i.e. “If you love me let me gooooo”), Brendon Urie’s voice is still angelic.
The group’s massive star power is growing. Since it’s become, basically, the Brendon Urie Show, he has complete control as a frontman, and it’s turned out to be a good thing. He orchestrates a perfect show, and he’s as charismatic as ever. His energy and self confidence is clearly through the roof and it shows in the music videos, the life performances, the album. I mean, c’mon, he was half naked for 3 straight minutes in that “Girls/Girls/Boys” video.
It’s like the same concept of Miley Cyrus, just a bit let scandalous. No hold on- stay with me here. The man knows how his every move with effect those who are watching. He knows how he sings a note will determine how many people download the song or the odds of it getting on the radio. He’s a manipulative genius in a positive and innovative way. Cyrus is doing the same thing. She’s causing a ruckus is the media in order to do something new and exciting, but she controls everything. It’s interesting to see that act becoming a trend.
All that being said, Panic! is going to blow up even more this year with their upcoming tour and media presence. It’s the year of the disco, everyone.
