Flo Rida Impresses Parents, Ladies at Today Show Concert

“No shirt, no shades!” shouts a middle-aged female as rapper Flo Rida takes the stage at the Today Show concert series Friday morning.

Flo, 30, was donning his signature look: a pair of shiny, oversized sunglasses, a patched-up gray muscle tee and facial hair so impeccably manicured it could make Orlando Bloom weep. If you didn’t recognize him as a multi-platinum rapper, you might think the dude was a professional wrestler.

But the crowd wanted it all off.

“You have the best abs in Hollywood!” a teenage girl in the front row chimed in.

Appearances aside, Flo Rida knows how to capture a crowd. After performing a fist-fueled “Low,” the song Matt Lauer claimed “took [Flo] around the world,” and a version of “Right Round” that had his parents beaming (bottom photo), Flo ripped through his newest hit “Jump,” sans Nelly Furtado.

Check out a clip of the action, which includes a hilarious dance by Flo, below.

Katy Perry Bounces Through "Waking Up in Vegas" at Today Show Concert

“Can I say bitch?” asks Katy Perry. It’s not quite nine in the morning, and the pop starlet is at soundcheck for her first Today Show performance of the day: triple platinum hit “Hot N Cold.”

The line at question? “You PMS like a bitch/I would know.” (She later opts to scream it into the mic during the live performance.)

Perry bounced her way through all of her hits in a one-sleeved, sequined red dress with various dice Friday morning, including breakthrough jam “I Kissed a Girl,” “Hot N Cold,” “Thinking of You” and the outfit-coordinated “Waking Up in Vegas.”

“Everyday is Halloween for me,” she later explained to Matt Lauer, of her outfit choice.

Check out a sample of her newest single, “Waking Up in Vegas,” above.

“We were able to take all the time in the world to make [this record],” the American Idol alum told Matt Lauer. “Our fans were very patient. The day has come.”

Very patient, indeed!!

It took the boys three years to make this record!
