I've been meaning to review this for a while now. So the show was good, it was pretty average. Though I am part of the younger fan base of Keith Sweat, I really liked the show. I was 18 when I went to the show, and it was my first legit concert, so I was pretty nervous, and even when I wanted to interact and stand up when they were asking ladies to stand or scream or whatever to show they're something, I couldn't because everyone there was there to talk about and hear about some "good lovemaking," and it was extremely uncomfortable for me. I went mainly for Keith Sweat, K-Ci & JoJo, and SWV.
First of all, the comedian--I don't even know the guy's name, but he was incredibly crude. He had his funny moments, but for the most part, he was mainly just joking about sex and people in the audience, and he wasn't really funny at all to me. They could have kept him wherever he was before he came here.
Doug E Fresh--Oh my goodness, I did not grow up with Doug E Fresh, and I wasn't really exposed to his music (I was born in the 90s) but when he was on stage, I had wished I had. He gave his own little performances while the music was playing and the other artists were getting ready to go onstage. He kept it fun for us. He even played around with us a little with dances. He showed us various versions of the real "Dougie" dance, and it was so entertaining. He danced old school dances with us, too, it was so fun. He even gave us some of the original beatboxing, and it was so amazing to actually experience that from the first human beatbox. When they would be playing songs during the breaks, he would come out on stage and stop the music for a hip hop song, especially his, and he would just perform it for us. I was a little jealous and ashamed that I didn't really know a lot of his songs to be able to sing along with him. I really had wished he had performed for most of the show, or in the place of most of K-Ci & JoJo's performance, Guy's performance, and even Keith Sweat's performance. I didn't expect to enjoy Doug E Fresh as much as I did, but by the second break between artists, I was begging for him to come back to the stage...and stay there. He needs to host another show, but with old school hip hop artists. That would be so boss for me, and I would love to attend it. He was so great.
Needless to say, K-Ci & JoJo really disappointed me. I was so excited to see them, but all there was was screaming...I really wished they had just sang some a few good songs greatly and left. They were decent for some songs, but overall, I was really disappointed.
Guy--I'm too young to really have known him (for one song, he was like, "Aw yeah, take it back to 1989"---I wasn't even born then lol) but I recognized a few of his songs, but...he isn't unforgettable for me. All I remember is he took his shirt off. He sings well though.
SWV--My ladies, you completely brought the show up for me. They had their old music videos playing behind them as they performed, which was so nostalgic, and they still have such lovely voices. They performed all of our favorite hits and then some and even sang from their new album for us. They were a highlight of my night.
Keith Sweat--You would think with the amount of time we waited for him, we would have been dazzled by his performance...it wasn't that great. I wish he would have just sung rather than try to put on an act. He sang some good songs, his voice is still there. But his whole act was pretty wack. He basically was trying to seduce this girl from the audience who he had put into a small dress of his choosing. To me, it was really awkward and unnecessary, but again, I was 18 at the time, and this was my first legit concert. Also, the dancers...they were forgettable. Anyway, I think he expected us all to be so enthusiastic and bowing to his feet when he came up, but mostly everybody was beginning to leave before he even finished his performance. When he did finish, though, he quickly walked off the stage without even saying "thank you." It was more of a "I gave this to you, you're welcome" kind of exit. It was an incredibly crude performance and a rude behavior for his exit.
