I’ve read multiple reviews that his stage presence was ‘appalling’ and I just simply can’t agree.

With the young teen recently turning 20 I can only commend Khalid on his performance at his sell out tour. It’s easy to bring yourself back to a point in your life (either then or now) where you’ve thought the exact thoughts that Khalid serenades about. So let’s have a little fun”, and “Because I’m 18 and I still live with my parents” and “So let’s do all the stupid shit that young kids do”. With lyrics such as “Oh shit, I just graduated. Older fans can relate to a similar time in their life and reminisce on what life was like as a teen, where as younger fans are experiencing this now. His catchy tracks such as ‘ Young, Dumb and Broke’ and ‘ 8TEEN’ speak to everyone. Khalid’s album ‘ American Teen’ is probably as popular as it is, because it was able to reach multiple demographics.


Despite the young girls all huddled up as close to the stage as they possibly could get, there was still an older demographic in the crowd that came ready to hear his debut album, which is so relatable to many. Teenage girls were screaming and deafening decibels echoed around the arena. The moment that Khalid hit the stage at Hammersmith Eventim Apollo, it was suddenly clear what kind of crowd was present.
