Sam Smith’s performance at United Palace Theatre felt completely effortless, though the singer always seemed to be in total control of the audience and his incredible vocals. The lack of mistakes and little imperfections almost seemed jarring at first, but this was simply because that’s not what I’m used to — Smith is a controlled, meticulous performer and the results are nothing short of miraculous. Backed by the industry’s top vocal and instrumental talent, he paced comfortably across stage while adoring fans sang in perfect harmony.
