Rate the NHL All-Star Music
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There was rapper-singer-producer Wyclef Jean on a musical and political tear at the Tabernacle, the Disney sensation the Jonas Brothers (above) on stage at Philips Arena and Atlanta’s five-time Grammy nominee Ne-Yo actually on the ice at Philips, fearlessly trotting out some of his best Michael Jackson moves.
That - plus The Hives (Sunday), the Halftime Live marching band (Sunday and Saturday), Ne-Yo again at a private party (Saturday), the Old 97’s (Saturday) and OneRepublic (Thursday) - made for a wide range of musical offerings this past weekend, all here courtesy of the NHL All-Star weekend.
Did you check out any of the shows? Pleasantly surprised? Really disappointed? Or how about this: Happen to learn anything about hockey just by attending one of the concerts?

As an attendee of most events this weekend, I have to say (surprisingly) I thought Ne-Yo was my personal favorite and the 2nd intermission performance with the band was quite good. I am certainly not in his target demo (white, 30s-aged professional) but I enjoyed the song and the show. I thought the Hives were atrocious but I think their style is popular with a lot of your typical hockey fans. The Jonas Brothers shouldn’t have been involved - not because they aren’t talented or because they’re music is awful but just because the Saturday Warm-up Skate audience shouldn’t have been fillled with a bunch of girls aged 11-14 who have zero knowledge or interest in hockey (beyond some of the cute guys who skate).
