KYLD Wild 94.9's Boost Mobile Boo Bomb 2007 was held on Tuesday, Oct. 30 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. The radio station may have impressed its listeners with the lineup, but the show itself wasn't so impressive.

American Idol 2007 winner Jordin Sparks was supposed to be a special guest host. KYLD must not know what a host really is, because appearing once for a brief moment with another DJ is not called hosting. Sparks did sing a short acapella of her new song, "Tattoo," though.

For a month prior to the show, KYLD has been advertising that T-Pain has numerous collaborations with the rest of the artists on the bill and would be on stage to do them. On another note, many of the artists also have sung together as well.

But collaborations? What collaborations? Out of at least six possible songs the artists could've done together, only two were performed.

It was disappointing that Mr. Collaborator T-Pain did only one of the collaborations live. Rapper Plies performed only two songs, excluding his newest single, "Hypnotized" (featuring Akon). T-Pain came on stage and did "Shawty" with him, but that was only because it was his turn to perform next.

T-Pain performed snippets of his many collaborations, including Chris Brown's "Kiss Kiss." He also did his own songs, like "Bartender" and "I'm Sprung." Unfortunately, he spent an awful a lot of time on stage and had to be kicked off the finally.

The screaming females were loud when Ne-Yo came on stage to perform "Sexy Love." His performance time should've lasted much longer though, as he only did five songs.

The other collaboration that was done was on Fabolous' set. Ne-Yo came on stage with him to do "Make Me Better."

Fabolous also seemed to be on stage for too long. It wasn't particularly necessary for him to do all of his old hits, like "Breathe" and "Superwoman."

Just as expected, many of the audience members were seen doing "The Superman" dance when Soulja Boy hit the stage with "Crank Dat."

Baby Bash performed a few of his hit songs. The crowd went crazy when he kicked off his set with "Cyclone." Sadly, T-Pain failed to appear and collaborate as well.

As a surprise guest appearance, Paula DeAnda performed "Doing Too Much" with Baby Bash and also sung Frankie J's part in "Suga Suga."
