Pukkelpop Festival, Belgium

OK, it’s official, the fans at Pukkelpop have the craziest signs.  Either that or they are using some weird translator program or the final option, there was a few wild chicks in the audience!!!!  100,000 + people came out for this N*E*R*D ride!

Shae trying to calm things down?

  17. Sarah August 25th, 2009 3:58 am

    If your mind is blown by the signs, you defenetly don’t want to know what the girls in the back were shouting.
    Too bad you didn’t come over because we were ready for some backseat lovin’!

  18. TM August 25th, 2009 4:24 am

    WOW;

  24. purplerainqueen August 25th, 2009 12:24 pm

    WOW! THIS IS SO AMAZING. PHARRELL NAME IS SPELLED WRONG ON POSTER. I AGREE WITH MISS BBCBabe with watch out for those dirty dianas.
    Every lyric to Michael Jackson’s music had a meaning to it and his legacy will live forever.
    Don’t just listen to the music learn from it.

  25. saogonyam August 25th, 2009 12:28 pm

  26. UNCLEBABYTOMATOSOUP August 25th, 2009 2:33 pm

    STAR TRACK/BBC/IC: Is this Rhea girl a new N.E.R.D member? Can you guys PLEASE confirm or deny this? Thanks

  27. Chi-chick August 25th, 2009 2:36 pm

    Oh its all in good fun(i luv them) im sure u guys know how to handel us fans that love u sooo much…and im sure all they wanted was for u to notice em and make u laugh…n ok, maybe get backstage :)
    Chicks gotta stop hatin on each other!
    @ Schoolin, We are! It just has to be brought out!! :)

  28. PinkCuteButterfly August 25th, 2009 3:32 pm

    Yo! Where were these chicks wid dem signs for Luda in Swizz open air? I swear he would of been REAL pleased…LOL.Wait..was Luda there? XD

  29. thaflyest August 25th, 2009 4:10 pm

    uncle..she is the new member.
    &I don’t know what to think about that, currently I feel hurt..can’t help it..i just do. Point blank it’s hard.
    I’m curious as to what will happen and what new sound will come of this.
    but i wish that 1) this wasn’t so sudden 2) we got to know her a bit b4 hand(maybe a feature or two and THEN say shes in the group) and 3) they wouldn’t get a bunch of comparisons to BEP(which they are not) and probably blamed for selling out(but if you already got money why would you sell out? lol).
    I honestly don’t care that there’s a new member, i’ve always thought it’d be cool…..I just wish we got to know the girl a little more, see what she’s about, what she sounds like etc before she joined my fav band of all time that i grew up with(yes taking it personal cuz music tends to be that..personal).
    *sigh*

  30. Urban Cutie August 25th, 2009 5:37 pm

  37. SommerSoft August 26th, 2009 1:47 pm

    ^@thaflyest THAT’S REAL! Rhea looks like a fun time! Good times, good times.

    I do trust N.E.R.D’s instincts, so I bet she IS dope, but you’re right – music is SOOOOO personal, especially when it comes to your favorite band! I’m sure Chad wouldn’t let any whackness go on up there, and in his absence, (which is frequent) Pharrell is going to DEF have good taste, in his presence AND solo for that matter.. I agree with what you wrote: I didn’t like the Fergiliciousness of Black Eyed Peas either as I was loyal to Kim Hill and still listen to her more than I do BEP’s poppy trash now b/c of that. That’s just the kind of person I am. I’m usually TOO open to change, ya know?? I just don’t know. What I DO KNOW is that I’ve gotta see Rhea live to feel her out before I make any real comments/judgments/opinions – she might be dope (prob is) but if I get turned off, which I easily do…that’ll be a sad day people. I’ll probably cry, tell someone how I feel, and never come to another show again. I might spit on the ground like my Nigerian dad does when he’s disgusted. It’s just that deep to me. Wish I could say I was a ride or die chick to the end but each is entitled to their own opinion, and I’m sure N.E.R.D wouldn’t be hurt if they lost one of millions of loyal fans. Thought I was the biggest until I felt hurt like you. And I am a peace and love, embracing individual! It’ll be interesting to see if she’s talented or just plain annoying..if she adds to the group or subtracts. A compliment, a substitute or a gaudy piece of costume jewelry that we never really NEED to go with our outfit. Ketchup to the fries, sprinkles to the ice-cream or sweet-tart pizza dipped in a bucket of oil and water. Freedom of speech.
    Her style is super cute although she’s no Kelis. I really liked her red millitary get-up with the fish-tail hair.

    Could she be the 4th member, or could she be back-up with KILLER legs? Maybe she’s the new back-up/hype girl who can carry a tune? Maybe she’s the next Rihanna or Beyonce..or Amy Winehouse. Maybe she’s just representing another culture other than black and asian for marketing purposes or to reach a larger male skewing demographic. Doubt it, because the band is known for it’s authenticity, but I’m just throwing out the possibilities for cyberspace to ponder while trying to be annoying at the same time.

    The younger Kelis was the best fit in my opinion. Or any super-ecclectic girl who knows her place in the band and doesn’t try to jump in the spotlight to jump start a solo career. Just speculation. People prob think I’m hating. I’m really not. I could seriously almost care, just like you, @thaflyest. But…. Dear Rhea. Please come forth and introduce yourself. You better be a BAAAAAAD B!TCH if you need NO introduction. We LOVE your ripped up clothes and ripped up legs and funky asymetrical bangs and The fans wanna know who you are and what’s your purpose. Hope to wanna hug you someday. <3

    Respectfully Submitted,
    (no introduction and a serious N.E.R.D fan)

    xx_elle

    yes come back next year
    NERD the best in live

  39. rafiqomar August 26th, 2009 2:17 pm

    What kind of sneakers is Shae wearing?

  40. UNCLEBABYTOMATOSOUP August 26th, 2009 2:34 pm

    I agree with you (theflyest) but im STILL not believing this until i here it from the horses mouth….

  41. thaflyest August 26th, 2009 2:34 pm

    lol cosign sommersoft

    personally i’ve already heard her sing..she can sing(she sounds similar to vanessa marques and tasha)…IMO that oddly conflicts with NERD to me(a group made up of one guy who doesn’t like to sing, another guy who use to call himself tone def..and a lead singer who use to say he couldn’t stand his own voice lol)

    I dunno as i’ve said on other forums..I just gotta see with this one, i’ll miss saying “i’m going to see my BOYS live” lol….but if the music is crazy good…i couldn’t give a rat’s behind if NERD was a trio or a choir lol.

  42. JaShawnai August 26th, 2009 5:15 pm

    Aww, was Pharrell doing the “heart” sign…?? :) Janet does that!! cooool ;)

  43. xx_elle August 26th, 2009 7:55 pm

    the sweetest part of this show was when all sounds stopped and Pharrel just stood there in the middle of the stage, said nothing, did nothing, only looking around to the crowd for half a minut or sow, his face was on the big screen and you could reed his face… Like he mentaly was taking a step back for a moment and was taking a real deep breath…

    @differentman: what about my screenname? :)
    yes, best live show ever, nice interacting with the crowd!

    It was fun to be there, you (pharrell) made me laugh real good!

  44. Mrs_PWilliams August 27th, 2009 2:15 am

    Wow that’s a lot of fan signs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many. Looks like an amazing show with a great crowd.

    Come back to Cali. I’d love to see you guys perform along with Rhea!

  45. SommerSoft August 27th, 2009 4:56 am

    ^@thaflyest You know what…..

    Girl…(atleast I hope you are female)
    Feel you, got your back and here to co-sign all DAY.

    I LOOOOOOooooooove Vanessa Marquez..5 years ago I asked her if I could choreograph her first video OVER MYSPACE LOL! She said “yes” but never saw me dance, never met me, and to my knowledge, didn’t have a video. :-( “Want you to Know” and “Good Girl” were my sh!ts. She can’t be replaced in my eyes.

    Natasha Ramos has that sound too, “Midnight Hour” is beeeeautiful. She needs to blow up and she will God-willing.

    I take it back. If Rhea were whack, I’d miss maybe a few shows then I’d come back to see them while silently staring with big eyes and pursed lips. Love them too much I guess.

    @thaflyest, I follow what you write on forums and you’re always pretty on point so I guess that’s IT. Done and Done. Rhea CAN sing since that’s what you say. :-) Where did you hear? Are you overseas? Does she perform in the U.S. ever?

    I wrote that for reaction and thank GOD you heard me. Sometimes, it feels like I write to “air” on here..just hearing <> chirping*.

    I DID NOT know that N.E.R.D was tone def and the anti-singer? LOL! That’s hilarious! I love the sound because it’s authentic and not forced and CORNY. They are not trying to SAAAANNNNG like BOyz 2 Men with runs and cry faces. They are like, Rock Stars, like the song, ya know? No matching outfits, no wardrobe changes just REAL. I couldn’t take it if they were anything BUT.

    Could you imagine Shay and Pharrell doing choreographed dance steps? I’d immediately walk out to the parking lot and bounce.

    If N*E*R*D became a choir, I’d be trying to audition…warming it up while I wait with Do-Re-Mi’s.. LOL!

    Yeah @thaflyest I don’t think they’re “poppy” like Vanessa or Tasha (doesn’t she have a new name?) or R&Bish either.

    @thaflyest.
    We need to coordinate when you “go see your boys” and I’ll “go see my boys” and we can further this discussion with continuing analysis :-) OMG..wait. Would that be like, what they call a “roadie”?? Ummm, F@CK THAT IDEA, nevermind just kidding. I think I just got excited to have a new cyberbuddy. They can be alllllll yours wherever you are, but I’m steppin’ to the “#1 Fan” plate and reppin’ the west coast.
    That was wrong…fine. I’ll share.

    I’m a fan with swag tho’. Feel me? (as I throw my chin up in the air right quick) LOL! I don’t bring big signs but I WILL break my neck to get on stage pretending I’m not trying to. :-)

    I like the raw, underground N*E*R*D. I’ll let the new member thing slide this time, but pleeeeeease no big changes that I can’t handle!!!
