At the Arista Records 30th Anniversary, many stars performed number one hits and timeless classics, but Barry Manilow was on stage with a medley of songs that, like I said, were timeless classics, such as "O Mandy", and "I Can’t Smile Without You". Manilow had a range of upbeat and slow songs with an orchestra band behind him. Barry played the piano outstandingly , which the audience seemed to enjoy. In my opinion, Manilow’s performance was somewhat bland, but later in his piece he sang an upbeat Spanish song which was an improvement from his other songs. The band was extraordinary, the violins, trombones, and many other instruments performed without a glitch. A standing ovation was given to Manilow after he was done performing, by the audience and fellow performers, like Whitney Houston, who was singing along with Barry Manilow as he played "O Mandy". At the end of the night, Barry Manilow and all of the other artists gave a stunning performance.
