I have been listening to Amel since I was 11 when she was with groove theory. Seeing her in person was even more gratifying because her voice was just as good as it is on the CD, and I can't say that about many artists. Even better she carries herself on stage as if she weren't a famous singer. Her personality is gleeful, her songs are heavenly and the entire experience was amazing. I can't wait to see her again.
I really enjoyed the concert. Amel was great, her voice was amazing, the band was wonderful, and the venue was up close and personal. EXCELLENT!
Amel gave us a fantastic show...I would go see her again. If you didn't go to this show you need to catch her next one. It's worth it....
The Event was Amazing! The Band was phemonenal and only to hear that the band only started playing together two days prior to the show.made it more mesmorizing. Amel was more gorgeous than ever before. Then to notice her beautiful daughter on stage with her was an memorable moment. Their voices were superb and could only imagine what the future has in store for the Larrieux family. The venue was perfect for this family style intimacy performance.
Awesome, venue... Amazin' Artistry... Ms. Amel rocked my spirit.... She touched everything and everyone.... An amazin' performance.... I'm a fan for life! The conga room is to' out the frame! Awesome intimate setting..... I will be back.
So here is the deal, pros and cons: Pros - She was INCREDIBLE and commanded the entire stage; her phrasing was daring, intuitive and brilliant; her banter with the crowd was easy and she was stunning and natural. She did a great cover of MJ's "I Can't Help It" - my favorite MJ song (written by my MAN, Stevie Wonder). DJ Rashida, the pre-concert entertainment, was off the chain. Cons - She didn't take the stage until nearly 10:00 and her set could've been another 20 minutes as far as I am concerned (where was Infinite Possibilities??). The rest of this is about the venue: the chairs were uncomfortable and too close together; for some reason, they didn't have enough chairs to match the tickets sold; it was REALLY loud; the drinks were stupid expensive.
I have been trying to see Amel for years. Happenned to be in the LA area and caught her @ the Conga Room. It was an awesome experience!!! The Conga Room was a great venue, small, intimate, and perfect for Amel.
Amel started a little late but she came out and did gave a wonderful performance. She did a few songs from her Groove Theory Day's. Her daughter was a back up singer and is just as talented as her Mom. The Conga Room is a cool spot, all though the drinks were way over priced
Took my wife, as a surprise for our anniversary, and we were both pleasantly surprised! Amel and her daughter, Rocked! It was a great show, would highly recommend to any of my friends. Thanks, Amel, for helping make our anniversary even more special.
We fully enjoyed the perfomance by Larieux! It was a much anticipated event for us Westerner's who would have otherwise had to fly to the east coast. The song selection and the club's acoustics were perfect. My husband and I didn't feel llike we'd lost 5% of our hearing the next day. The hype of the crowd kept the vibe alive the whole night through! We danced most of the night away listening to Amel's lyrical falsetto that at times sound like a pitch perfect instrument. An amazing rating for us would have been a full blown concert. Kudos to the conga room for inviting real artists to perform and Amel for keeping real music alive!
Without the pretension, without the diversions, with just the music and the woman Amel Larrieux was spellbinding. She connected with the audience effortlessly and was gracious the entire night. Her voice was mellifluous and her aura was calm and pleasant. Find a way to see Amel perform, live. This is what it's about!
Amel Larrieux is an amazing performer - her lyrics, music and soulful style have gotten my attention for many years now. From Groove Theory to her upcoming album, I love to come back to her music - she is a talented and beautiful musician. It was a great show last night!
