Regardless of the speculation about his accent being fake, the man has good music. Anyone who says anything less is lying. His stage presence is decent for a new artist. The crowd was very rowdy and only wanted to hear “Come Around” so he had to win them over the old fashion way. Although many most of his songs are better than "Come Around", people were unenthusiastic because they did not want to hear his unreleased tracks. He shocked the crowd when he performed “Tomorrows Another Day” and slowly began to win the over. Even the toughest critics began rocking with the riddim and got into the song. The audience enjoyed “Mamacita” but, he shocked many when he dropped a monster tune over the “Sidewalk University Riddim”.
On stage Collie seems like an unpolished Sean Paul. Not because, they are both light (well Collie is white …but you know), the way they act and move resemble each other. Also the energy they put into their music is similar. Just like Sean Paul, Collie admitted that he had "two lef’ foot" and that dancing wasn’t his thing. He surely wasn’t the best dancer but there is much worst out there. By the end of his performance he won over most of the crowd and gained their respect. After seeing him live, he silenced pre-concert criticism. Regardless of if his accent is fake or not, Collie is a living example of how big this reggae thing is. It’s reaching new levels.
