Coffeehouse 2.0

Liberty's internet-themed Coffeehouse 2.0 was packed with talented and hilarious performances, along with thousands of students to view the awesome show. It took place in the Vines Center, and, like every Coffeehouse at Liberty, there were few empty seats in the huge arena.

I guess you could say I'm a veteran coffeehouse viewer (being a fifth year senior), and I have to say that this was my favorite one yet. All of the performers are always talented, but this year had more amusing acts than usual. Not that the people who play instruments or sing a slow song that I've never heard of aren’t great, but I don't enjoy them as much as some of the more lively and funny acts. Coffeehouse 2.0 had performance after performance with either a funny act or video or a well-known song that the whole crowd was able to sing along to, making it the most entertaining coffeehouse since I've been at Liberty.

My favorite performance of the night was the dance by "The Bag Ladies" in which the girls wore colorful spandex bag suits and danced to popular songs such as Beyonce's "Single Ladies" and the American Idol hit "Pants on the Ground." The dance moves were good, but the suits made the act funny as well. You are probably wondering what in the world I mean by a "spandex bag suit," so stop wondering and check out the video on here. It's awesome. Another crowd favorite was the Disney medley by "Aladdin's African Mermaids." Can you guess what three movies they sung songs from? Yep, they performed hits from the movie Aladdin, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. It amused me that the crowd, myself included, enjoyed this musical performance more than any of the others who played current hits. I guess nothing can really top Disney. That crowd-pleasing performance can also be viewed on here.

I vote this year's Coffeehouse 2.0 a complete success! To see many more amazing performances from this spring's coffeehouse, go to youtube.com and type in "Liberty Coffeehouse 2.0."
