“I love his beats and his energy is way up there,” said fan Charm Brittian. “I had a cool time, he did really good.” The audience was spitting practically every word to the songs Scott performed. Songs such as “Maria I’m Drunk” and “Mamacita” were just some of the audience’s favorites. At one point a fan yelled out “Yea Rihanna!” letting everyone know whom he wanted a surprise appearance from. Scott started to perform “Antidote” a hit from his “Rodeo” album, and the mood in the room went from 50 to 100, then the crowd surfing began. Scott performed one encore, then made a comment about Orange County’s rules on curfew, and closed his show.
