Concerts from your couch: These living room performances by our favourite musicians are everything

Whether you're self-isolating or under quarantine, keep entertained by watching your favourite artists perform from the comfort of their homes.

If you haven’t read it enough, everyone should stay home as much as possible amidst the Covid-19 pandemic to help #flattenthecurve. And, of course, even the biggest pop stars are not excluded from that. Using their star power for good, these artists are now performing free for their fans to help raise funds or simply out of boredom. Either way, we’re not gonna complain about free entertainment!

Dua Lipa: Don’t Start Now

Singer-songwriter Dua Lipa performed the first single from her new album “Future Nostalgia”, complete with her band and backup dancers from their respective homes, for The Late Late Show. The result? A track as amazing as her studio version, accompanied by a fab video you can watch and rewatch.

John Legend: Various songs

Probably one of the first artists to do an Instagram Live concert, the legend himself entertained fans with his heavenly voice for almost an hour. Wifey Chrissy Teigen and daughter Luna joined him later, bringing on plenty of ‘LOL’ and ‘aww’ moments.

Mariah Carey: Always Be My Baby

You can always count on Mariah to add a diva twist, so instead of doing a simple living room tune, she performed from her home studio (of course) with some help from her background singers. Miss Carey just celebrated her golden anniversary a few days before this event, and she still slayed with her signature whistles!

Chris Martin (Coldplay): Various songs

Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin went on Instagram Live without his band to interact with fans and take song requests. He gladly performed tracks he remembered how to play, switching back and forth on the piano and guitar to give us an intimate concert for one.

Tori Kelly: Various songs

Tori’s another artist who has been performing regularly via Instagram Live these days. As if her beautiful voice isn’t enough, she’s also been inviting other artists such as JoJo, H.E.R., and Jessie J, among others, to perform all kinds of covers. Tori was set to perform in Singapore this April, but the gig was cancelled ultimately due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Stay Home Fun

Cheer up: Quaran-tunes for social distancing

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes: My Oh My

Coming to you live from señorita Camila’s hometown in Miami, Florida, the sultry songstress performed her single “My Oh My” with the help of her beau Shawn Mendes on the guitar. Is it us or is it getting hot in here?

David Foster and Katharine McPhee: Various songs

Another musician couple, David and Katharine have been making frequent Instagram Live appearances ever since their home quarantine. Any fans in the house? You can watch and request songs from either of their social media accounts!

Backstreet Boys: I Want It That Way

The iconic boyband performed this classic hit from their respective homes, and boy, the song sure brings back all the late 90s and early 00s nostalgia. Also, we can’t get over how beautiful they sound and how adorable they are with their children!

Charlie Puth: Various songs

Performing his songs along with a bunch of covers, Charlie charmed from his parents’ home. Before starting, he even confessed that he’s watched about 15 hours worth of TikTok vids and encouraged people to practice social distancing. Gotta love music with a message!

Billie Eilish and Finneas: Bad Guy

Arguably the biggest star of 2019, Billie Eilish, together with her equally talented brother Finneas, performed a cool acoustic version of their Grammy award-winning hit song. Hit the repeat button for a chill living room party of your own.
