Luke Bryan is a definite must-see performance for country music fans especially the ladies. Luke Bryan is pleasing to the eye and knows how to flaunt it. Every time Luke Bryan steps onto stage, he has on tight-fitting jeans, a colored t-shirt, and a baseball cap. One song Bryan always performs at his shows is “Country Girl (Shake It For Me).” In this song, Bryan points specifically to the ladies to “shake it”, and at the same time, shows the audience his dance moves.

Luke Bryan is a character who jokes around with his audience and always has a smile on his face. However, there are some moments after all the joking around, he sings his heart out in “Do I.” At almost every concert, Luke Bryan performs "Do I" because "Do I" was the song in the beginning of his career that made his popularity increase.

In this performance, Bryan covers Adele’s “Someone Like You.” This is a good example of his open and funny personality, but then he turns serious when starting to sing his love song, “Do I.”
These two live performances contrast each other. In the first and second performance, the audience sees Luke Bryan’s fun and friendly personality by dancing and covering Adele's song. In the second performance, Luke Bryan sits down and plays the piano and shows the audience his sensitive side while singing one of his first hits “Do I.” In 2011, I attended a Luke Bryan concert. Luke Bryan sat down at the piano, just as he does in this video, and covered Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" and Adele's "Someone Like You" before singing his hit "Do I." Luke Bryan consistently interacted with the crowd by talking about Justin Bieber and Adele and letting the crowd know his favorite parts or when he though he was going to "screw up."
Luke Bryan interacts with his audience before, during, and after the show. There are many contests a country music fan can win to meet Luke Bryan and even get a chance to be on stage with him. During his shows, Bryan gets the audience to sing along with him. Bryan moves around a lot and touches hands with many of his fans. Luke Bryan thanks the crowd for being at a concert as well as continuing to buy and listen to his music. During a Luke Bryan concert, the audience gets to see the fun, friendly side as well as the soft, sensitive side of the artist. Getting a chance to experience a Luke Bryan concert is a experience like no other. Luke Bryan makes a person feel special and not just one of thousands in an arena.
This blog is great! You highlighted great information on how Luke interacts with his crowd by not only dancing and singing his songs, but he also pulls in their attention by singing "pop" sensation songs. This quickly grabs the attentions of his fans, becasue who would have ever thought that Luke Bryan would perform and Adele or Justin Bieber song. Your dead on about how he is focused on being a part of his audience, he sings songs that he know he can relate with his fans on. Although, you did talk alittle on his fan base and venues and tickets, I though you could have shared more information regarding Luke Bryans tours, concerts and his successes or fails within them. All in all, I enjoyed reading your blog and thought it was really cool that Luke Bryan not only performs his songs at his concerts but draws in attention from his fans by performing "pop" songs rather than country hits.
