Breakfast In Barbados Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and Simple Plan Concert 2009
This was it; Radio at its best – the new wave of “Radio gets results…”

The stage was set for what was described as “the biggest night ever” in the history of CHUM FM, Harbour Lights and the island of Barbados.

It was the highlight of the CHUM FM sponsored Breakfast in Barbados, where lucky Canadian winners listen to Roger, Darren & Marilyn from their beach towels instead of being stuck in Canadian traffic. The culmination of this week was the highly anticipated concert featuring Simple Plan, Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson!

Simple Plan

At 7:50pm the air was ripe with anticipation and the crowd inside Harbour Lights and those who were not so fortunate on the outside were all waiting for something big to happen!

Chuck Comeau, drummer of Simple Plan, came on the stage to warm up and received some friendly banter from the crowd as they questioned him about his absence during the acoustic performance of the band earlier that morning!

Roger, Darren and Marilyn came on stage to give several “shout outs” to the CHUM FM winners from Canada and the various key people who made the event a reality. Then it was on with the show, as the other members of Simple Plan: Pierre Bouvier, David Desrosiers, Jeff Stinco and Sébastien Lefebvre, joined Comeau on stage.

You knew it was the beginning of a special night from the moment the two-time Juno Awards and platinum-recording artistes jumped on the stage, catapulting through the air while playing their guitars and rocking the drums.

The guys were jumping over the stage, talking and joking with the crowd, throwing guitar picks at their fans and embracing the crowds both on the inside and outside of the venue.

A strong crowd of those not lucky enough to get tickets for the show, had gathered on the beach outside of Harbour Lights to hear and at the very least, get a peek of the stage. They were not to be disappointed as Simple Plan intermittently gravitated towards their end and seemed to give them a uniquely distinctive performance.

The Simple Plan play list was a tight 50 minute set featuring the songs:
» Shut up
» Jump
» When I’m Gone
» Your Love is A Lie
» I Could Never Fall in Love With You (cover version)
» Live Your Life (a tribute to hometown Bajan girl Rihanna)
» I’d Do Anything
» Welcome to My Life
» No Love (they performed an acoustic version earlier live on air)
» Perfect

During their performance the band informed the crowd that they felt like they were on a working vacation by being in Barbados. They were charming with their anecdotes and won over the crowd by interchanging the lyrics from “I’d Do Anything for love” to “I’d Do Anything for Barbados”.

There was a lot of crowd interaction, and the band had everyone clapping and swaying their hands to most of their songs. The crowd was complimented for their singing by Bouvier who invited them to karaoke night at Oistins!

His relaxed demeanor enhanced the speculation that two of the band members owned property in Barbados, and his knowledge of local culture and slang confirmed him to be “almost Bajan”, much to the delight of the locals in the crowd.

With their final haunting song “Perfect”, the band encouraged the crowd to take out their cell phones, lights, dynamite and flame throwers and just unite under the stars. It was a perfect end to a perfect performance by a not so simple band!
