Dominic Brown: Chaos Awards Performance
Before the show
Dominic stood backstage in front of his dressing room mirror, adjusting his outfit before he had to go out on stage. Stepping back to get a good look of himself, he noticed how good he looked and smiled. Just a few weeks ago he had gotten off tour with Tisha Jackson and though it had been days apart since now and than, he still felt tired from all the traveling. His outer experience didn't show it but his body felt otherwise. Not wanting to think about it however, he quickly dismissed it. Tonight's show was about his fans and he'd do anything it took to make the show perfect just for them. They had supported him so much since he had made his debut back in May of 2011, giving him a quadruple-platinum debut album, #1 singles and videos, and many award nominations. Tonight was his night to give back thanks for all they had done but this was only the beginning. Before the start of the new year, Dominic vowed to make 2012 the year of his fans. Everything that he did would be just for them and though it could never be enough to pay back what they've done, he hoped that they would get just how much he appreciated their gratitude and support. One of Dominic's body guards, who was standing outside the door, peaked in the room, bringing Dominic back to reality, telling him that they're ready for him. Dominic nodded then said, "Iight. I'm coming." His body guard nodded back and closed the door. He walked over to his wear his jacket was hanging up then put it on, pulling the hood over his head. He looked back in the mirror one last time before heading out of his dressing room towards where he would be coming out at. He saw his dancers and other crew members were already there and pulled them in for a few words of prayer to make sure the show went well. Once done, he could hear that the announcer was seconds away from announcing his name. He climbed into the lift and stood up, waiting for it to raise.
Moments later Dominic's name was announced and the lights dimmed down low. A few seconds later, the big screen on stage lit up to display images of Dominic, the fans begin screaming wildly. The lift at this time begin to rise and as he got closer towards the stage he could hear people chanting his name. Now fully on stage, Dominic stood with his hands down to his side looking at the audience. He suddenly ran and back flipped off of the lift he had been standing on, landing on the main stage. The big screen behind him displayed sparks, giving off the affect of an explosion right at the moment his feet touched the floor. Red, green, and a bit of yellow lights shined down on Dominic and an up-tempo dance beat with catchy synth and string melodies began to play, sounding off around the building. He went over to the mic stand,that was standing in the center of the stage, pulling the mic out of it then began singing the words to "Dance With You."All up in this club
Trynna find a sexy girl
To dance with
Shawty over there eying me
I can tell she wanna
Come home with me
But tonight I just wanna dance
I’m just trynna keep it real
Hope you feelin me
Cuz I just wanna dance yeah
I wanna dance with you(8x)
As the second verse comes up, Dominic yells into his mic, "Let me hear u sing it!" He holds his mic up towards the crowd while Izzy's voice is heard singing her verse. The audience joins in to sing along with the track, as Dominic holds his head down, bobbing it to the music. When the songs breaks into the chorus, a few of Dominic's dancers come out from the side and then join him on stage as they dance in sync together. I want to dance with you
Take me in your arms,
Make me fly again and again.
Touch me, feel me,
I am yours, I am here dear contemplating our
Sweet dance.
Face to face, delicacy and grace.
My lips kissing yours, magic everywhere.
Yes love I want to dance but only with you,
Only with you forever and ever
I’m just trynna keep it real
Hope you feelin me
Cuz I just wanna dance yeah
I wanna dance with you(8x)
Dominic finishes up singing the last note before the music stops. The lights on stage dim down as a catchy drum pattern with an addictive ethnic instrument melody begins to play. The dancers disappear off of the stage and Dominic walks across the stage, closer towards the fans sitting in the front. All the while, he begins singing "One Night." The first time I saw you
I knew that I had to make you mine
From your beautiful face to your pretty brown eyes
But you sayin that we can't ever be
Without even takin the time out to kno the real me
(oh oh oh oh girl)
I bet you got it in your head
That all I care about is dem girls and gettin this bread
You thinkin that I'm just trynna play you
Dats not tru cuz I really love you
(Why you actin this way?)
Is it cuz of the age difference?
(I hope not)
Is it cuz I'm conceited?
(I'm trynna stop)
Is it cuz of the flirtin?
(Not my fault)
Is it cuz I'm so crazy?
(Who's not)
Gimme one night (one night)
To prove to you what I’m all about
Gimme one night (one night)
I promise you wont have any doubts
Gimme one night (one night)
[2x]
The music suddenly stops and Dominic stands there looking around at the audience. Screaming cheers and random "Dominic" chants can be heard through out the room. Suddenly a mid-tempo Rnb beat with addictive string melody accompanied by catchy synth melodies begins playing, soon after Dominic begins singing "Black Heart." Some of the audience stand up and begin singing along with him.Sittin here thinking how the hell I let her fool me
Into lovin and buying her everything she wanted
My homies steady warning me not to trust her
But I was so wrapped in her love that I didn't see
That she had a secret motive from the start
I gave her my all yet she played with my heart (yeah)
She didn't give a damn about me at all
That's why she would never return my calls (yeah)
She only cared about taking my money
And being with other guys when I was gone (yeah)
If you think that you can changer her
Then you wasting your time
Cus she don't love no one
All she wants is your mind
To control you and take all your money
That’s why I call her
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
Once the second verse approaches, Mandy's voice is heard singing her verse. He takes off his outer layer leather jacket then goes over to touch a few fans that happened to come closer towards the stage, his body guards try to keep them from pulling him off the stage. As Mandy's part finishes, he goes back over to the mic stand, leaning it back as he sings the chorus.At the mall spending all my guy’s money
Looking for a new dress to wear to the party
Tonight I'm planning on finding my next hottie
But first let me call and break up with my guy
He's on the phone asking what he did wrong
And I just tell him to leave me alone (yeah)
I never been in love and not planning to start
All I want to do is play with a guy's heart (yeah)
Till they give me everything that I want
Then I'm on to the next one to flaunt (yeah)
If you think that you can changer her
Then you wasting your time
Cus she don't love no one
All she wants is your mind
To control you and take all your money
That’s why I call her
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
The lights dim down as the song breaks down into the bridge section. As he sings and harmonizes, you can hear the audience singing along with him. Then as the song comes back into the final chorus, Dominic takes off his inner jacket, displaying his black bathing ape shirt. He throws it out into the audience and a few fans in the front go crazy over it. Security quickly rushes over to handle the situation.Girl why you gotta be so coooold (yeah)
Thought that you and I had something good
But I guess I misunderstood (yeah)
You only fooled me
To get what you wanted
Then you moved on to the next guy
And did it all over again
(all over again yeah)
If you think that you can changer her
Then you wasting your time
Cus she don't love no one
All she wants is your mind
To control you and take all your money
That’s why I call her
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
The song ends and suddenly a pop beat with a moving synth,and piano beat starts to play and Dominic begins singing the verse to his latest single, "Can't Love You." To see you
Is what my eyes long for
To touch you girl
Is what my hands long for
To make you smile
Is what I live for
But to love you girl
Baby this I can't do
Don't know what else to say
Without causing you to break into tears
I know you're hoping I'll love you some day
Since we been together for six whole years
Believe me when I say I'm tired of causing you pain
But it always comes back to the same old thing
I-I-I-I can't
(Can't love you)
You keep saying that its all a lie
That I never give love a try
But baby girl what I'm saying is true
I would never intentionally hurt you
That's why it hurts each time I say
I can't love you
Dominic harmonizes on the very last note to the chorus and the song ends. Majority of the audience stands up, applauding and cheering Dominic on. He smiles then says into the mic, "Thank u" before heading off stage.Setlist:
