Night two of the That’s Showbiz Baby! tour is a fact for Clean. This time we do it all over again at Columbiahalle, Berlin. Don’t worry, we won’t give you the same concert review twice. Enough happened during this concert to move on to the songs that were not discussed yet in our Fabrique, Milan review. JADE made sure to perform each and every song from her debut album and proves they’re all worthy of a live performance!
Before we dive into the night with the former Little Mix star, we get to dance with DJ Adam Theo. The DJ doesn’t have to warm us up alone. For the last few songs, JADE’s boyfriend and Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephens comes out to dance along and hype up the crowd for his girlfriend. Can you think of a more supportive boyfriend?
The show is packed with big pop songs, references to showbiz and odes to the greatest pop stars. It’s no wonder that JADE chose to include her cover of pop queen Madonna’s ‘Frozen’ in the setlist. The song fits right in with all her own music and has the crowd going wild. Ever since the release of the cover it has become a fan favorite and has everyone singing along at their loudest to every word. Near the end of the song it transforms into a trance remix, urging everyone in the room to jump and dance along.
During her interactions with fans she checks in with us about what our favorite songs from the album are. The Berlin crowd seems to unanimously share the love for ‘Use Me’. One fan screams the song title and the room goes crazy. The song is not included in the setlist, so JADE decides to treat Berlin to an improvised a cappella moment. Clean has previously shared our love for the album cut and couldn’t be happier to hear we’re not alone. After the cute moment another fan screams their favorite is ‘Glitch’, which leads us into the next song of the show. Lights are flickering and JADE shows us her dance skills together with her two dancers. She is ready to prove the song is underrated for no good reason.
The theatrical, dramatic pop show is nearly coming to an end when JADE treats us to more fan favorites. She is seen riding her dancers as they serve as her horse for ‘Midnight Cowboy’. The song is undeniably one of our favorite tracks released by JADE. In a live setting it shows just how big it can get, as the whole crowd claps along exactly where it’s needed. The beat of the song perfectly lends itself to a little “justice-for-Wasabi” moment. The singer makes sure each Little Mix fan is happy by treating us to at least one throwback to her girl group days. ‘Wasabi’ is the perfect choice. Not only does it fit perfectly within her solo music, it’s also a fan favorite — something we can clearly hear in the room.
A phone rings and fans know exactly what this means. The ringing phone is a reference to the video she did for her collaboration with Confidence Man. We get to hear the summer hit ‘Gossip’. The song puts us in the mood to go out and party. Before our encore moment we hear the Berlin crowd at its loudest all night. We all love to sing along to ‘IT Girl’. During the song JADE struts down the stage with full enthusiasm and sass. It confirms she truly is that IT girl within pop music today.
‘Church’ serves as the second-to-last song of the night. Unfortunately a fan becomes unwell during the performance, urging JADE to kindly stop the show temporarily to make sure the fan is safely escorted outside before continuing. She shows that during her concerts it’s a safe space for everyone and that we take care of one another. Restarting the song has JADE jokingly wondering where to pick up the performance, as she feels awkward starting it all over again due to the dramatic slow walk-in entrance.
The night obviously closes with her biggest hit to date — the song that put her on the map as a main pop girl and proves she can do this on her own just as well, if not better, than with the band. Her vocals are unmistakably some of the biggest in the industry right now as she gets to show on ‘Angel Of My Dreams’. Yes, she is a pop girl, but she can absolutely hold a note and blow the roof off the room. We clearly didn’t need any further proof of why JADE is going to be one of the biggest international pop stars out here, yet we were given plenty of reasons to confirm it during a night of That’s Showbiz Baby!.
