Considering the rapid technological developments in the recent past, westernization of indigenous cultures is a common occurrence. Ideally, many parts of the world have been influenced by western civilization due to early technological developments that took place in the western countries. Music from the western world contributes significantly to the spread of western civilization in other parts of the world. In this regard, the following discussion will evaluate personal experience of live music performance I attended to. In 2013, I was lucky to experience live performances of various musicians during the annual MTV Video Music Awards (MTV VMA). As expected, the MTV VMA receives international attention because prominent artists feature during the awards. It is for this reason that tried my best to attend the 30th annual MTV VMA live performance on August 25th, 2013 at Brooklynn's Barclays Center. Interestingly, MTV VMA performances thrilled the audience in attendance to the extent I had never experienced. Audience applauded their favorite artists while analyzing the whole show. During the entire period, different artists performed various songs in a bid to entertain their audience in celebration of their achievement. For instance, Kanye West performed the song titled “Blood on the Leaves” for the first time live on the stage. In many cases, artists stage unique performances during MTV VMA in order to attract the attention of the audience. Other performances included “Applause” by Lady Gaga, “Hold On, We’re Going Home” by Drake, “Gorilla” by Bruno Mars, “Same Love” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and “Take Back The Night” by Justin Timberlake. All artists demonstrated a high level of creativity by crafting their performance in a way that appealed to the audience. In evaluating the performance settings, both the artist and the audience showed unique behavior due to the activities that took place at Brooklynn
