PERFECT!
by J. W. on 9/7/23This Toni Concert was perfect as imagined. She sounds the same as she does in the studio version!! AMAZING!!
Few singers in recent decades have demonstrated the widespread appeal and staying power of Toni Braxton, the smoky-voiced alto who can deftly move from R&B to pop to Broadway with impressive ease. Toni first mesmerized fans in the ‘90s with heartrending radio hits like “Breath Again” and “Unbreak My Heart,” both would undoubtedly be lead contenders for best break-up song of the decade. She would continue to rule the ‘90s, with fans worldwide clamoring for tickets to watch her perform tunes like “Another Sad Love Song,” “You Mean the World to Me” and “You’re Makin’ Me High,” with her signature sultry voice and seductive moves. In 1998, she made a history-making career move by playing the part of Belle in Disney’s Beauty and The Beast on Broadway – the first African American woman to play the role. Having proven her acting chops and vocal versatility on the stage, she went on to star in another Broadway production – Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida . She continues to perform live, singing fan favorites like “Spanish Guitar,” “Yesterday,” “I Heart You,” and “Hurt You” along with her winning ‘90s repertoire. Toni cites Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan and Anita Baker as influences, while a newer generation of fans have compared her to artists like Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, and Fantasia Barrino.
This Toni Concert was perfect as imagined. She sounds the same as she does in the studio version!! AMAZING!!
The Chicago crowd live to hate singers that don't care and her performance at Arie Crown Theater started and ended with boos. Toni walked off in the middle of a song, because the crowd booed her. Three minutes later came back to sing three songs.
Great concert!!! SWV sent me back to my college days and Toni, what can I say, OMG!!
I LOVED HEARING TONI BRAXTON PERFORM ALL OF HER TOP SONG, LIKE HE WASN'T MAN ENOUGH AND BREATHE AGAIN.
There is almost nowhere to park and the traffic gets all lumped up near the venue. Then the lighting hits you right in the face if you’re up in the balcony level. Won’t ever return to that venue no matter who plays there.
The show was great but tooo short. Toni was awesome.
Great concert performance by Ms. Braxton, vocals, and choreography, were superb.
We had to wait about a year for the rescheduled event due to health reasons. I was very excited to finally be able to Toni and she only gave us about an hour long show. She did her hits her performance was nice but could have been a little longer.
Toni is legend. An she did her thing that night even with a cold. What I love when I see her is she actually sings and you can tell. She sounds amazing live. Love her since 92. Come back to Oakland please Toni. You are a great talent and beautiful as ever.
Toni put on a good show, but me and a lot of other fans were disappointed that SWV was not there. Same thing happened in Reno. No one said why SWV was a NO show.
