Here's another review, guys from a pretty legit newspaper in the UK.
Paramore at Wembley Arena
Led by the blonde, 20-year-old singer Hayley Williams, the group sported a kid-next-door look and performed with enthusiasm

"Who said that the generation gap no longer exists in pop? Paramore’s sold-out show at Wembley attracted a crowd overwhelmingly in their teens and early twenties. And although the emo/indie-rock band from Franklin, Tennessee topped the British chart earlier this year with their third album, Brand New Eyes, they have barely registered on the mainstream radar thanks to the strangely exclusive nature of their youthful appeal.
Led by the blonde 20-year-old singer Hayley Williams, the group sported a nondescript, kid-next-door look and performed with brisk, sparky enthusiasm. Their music conformed to the time-honoured traditions of American arena-rock while betraying no evidence of influences any earlier than 1990s acts such as Alanis Morissette and No Doubt.
Williams, who wore a red T-shirt bearing the legend “Better Off [Dead, crossed out] Alive”, looked as if she was on an outing to meet her friends at the mall as she bounced around the stage behind a candy-striped microphone stand. “Don’t wanna hear your sad songs/ I don’t wanna feel your pain,” she sang in a strident tone that was just short of shrill, while the four boys around her belted out the fast, clipped riff of Ignorance.
This was the band’s last show of the year and there was a mood of celebration in the air. A young couple from the audience — Liam and Leona — who had written in beforehand, were invited up on stage. Falling awkwardly on one knee, Liam asked Leona to marry him. It should have been a cringe-inducing moment, but the emotion swirled around the stage as the band played The Only Exception, the one slow and obviously romantic song.
The bass player Jeremy Davis performed a sensational running backflip during Pressure Additional, not missing a beat as he bounced off the back of one of the guitarists. Meanwhile, Williams flattered the crowd with a practised touch. London was wonderful; the show a dream come true. “This is the best moment of my whole life,” she insisted during a break in My Heart. A shower of confetti during the encore of Brick by Boring Brick, and it was everybody home for Christmas."
