I sure wish she had sung more songs than she did. A lot of them were abbreviated and run-ons. For her age she did great! Feel the concert was a little pricey for her short concert. There was a lot of talking, telling jokes, and interaction with the audience. Overall, would have really enjoyed more songs.
Brenda Lee still has a dynamic voice and stage presence. She was wonderful!
She brought back so many wonderful memories and had my husband laughing so hard,
This show wasn't so much about whether or not Lee could still sing to impress as it was an overview of her career and interaction with fans by sharing stories and telling jokes. The first ten minutes featured songs, but then it quickly went to talking about her family, especially her children and grands. Brenda then spent some time talking with a fan in the front row, and twice had the audience sing Happy Birthday to audience members. Later, she introduced the band in a detailed manner which was followed by several jokes. Overall, the show wasn't what I had anticipated, even though the majority of the much older audience than I, seemed to appreciate her. At the end of the 70 minute show she finished with I'm Sorry and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.
Brenda was wonderful but the fans were not. They were old as am I but they were anxious to go home to bed. We wanted an oncore. Generally, if the audience claps after the last song, the performer will return for an additional song or two. These non-fans left and we could nor encourage Brenda to return for a few more songs. I was embarased by this audience reaction.
Her show lasted a little over an hour. She sang 18 songs and talked with the audience a lot. She was very grateful for all the years she has preformed. I'm a "BIG" fan of this lady and was disappointed after the show she did not come out to meet her fans and sign autographs. We drove 7 hours there, spent the night, and drove 7 hours back to Memphis, TN. This was a huge expense for a retired couple but its was worth it. She will be 72 years old in December and she can still "Rock Around The Christmas Tree". But the way, that was the last song she preformed.
Outstanding performer!!! More rapport with audience than I have ever seen before
Went to see and hear you sing... Way too many jokes, talk about family an too little singing.
not much singing,told old useless jokes,don't care to here about kids and grandkids, killed the clock to much instead of singing
Brenda came out singing and sounded good I did not like the short show. It lasted only an hour with 30 minutes of that was talking about guest birthdays, and other uninteresting topics. While the singing of the hits was good they were compiled into a copulation lasting only a few minutes. Brenda seemed to have good stamina for the show and the audience was excited about the songs sang.
Performing to a sell out crowd of all ages, Brenda didn't disappoint. Her show included many of her mega hit songs, as well a few other hits that she joked about having "turned down" when given the opportunity to record. Brenda's personable connection with the audience added a very special touch, as her warmth and glowing smile were as real and as sincere as could be. She's a class act... a beautiful person...and a remarkable artist. The show concluded with a standing ovation from everyone present. We all knew we had had the privilege of seeing a musical legend, performing just for us.
Brenda Lee was awesome! I will go see her again if she comes back to perform at the Golden Nugget.
Brenda Lee put on a great concert and our seats were on the second row, two seats off of the center aisle. The Golden Nugget Lake Charles theater holds only 2500 seats so no seat is very far from the stage. The concert was almost two hours long, great.
Brenda Lee is an amazing performer that can really relate to the audience. This was more than singing - it was so entertaining. And it doesn't end when the singing is over. She invited all that wished to have their picture taken with her and/or get her autograph to meet in the lobby. The line was huge. We waited for an hour - and Brenda Lee was still there taking pictures and signing autographs! It was more than just take a picture, get an autograph and go. She took the time to talk to you. What a show!
I bought the concert tickets for my wife more than me. The show was like all the other reviews that I had read. I hoped that some of the things that were mentioned weren't going to be true, but they were. Brenda only sang a few songs and not even the whole songs, just about half of them and then moved on to another. Too much of the show was spent talking about her personal llife, her band members, and then some jokes....believe it or not. It was a big disappointment for us and I'm sure for a lot of the fans present. I would have preferred doing the whole songs even if it meant there would be fewer of them performed. Brenda still has a good voice, a little diminished but still good. I know her age has something to do with not so much singing and more talking but c'mon, we paid good money for listening to her golden hits not learning about this and that family chit chat. Very disappointed. If I was her, I would re-do the show and try to perform more with less talk.
Brenda Lee no longer can sing, a fact that became apparent when she opened the show. I bought tickets hoping to hear "Coming On Strong" and "That's All You Gotta Do" but these songs weren't even attempted, So, she spent more than half the show talking to audience members and telling misfired jokes. Save your money and, even more important, save your time by not attending.
July 25th. There was nothing but love in the air. It was clear Brenda loves here fans as much as they love her. She left no question why she is a true legend. In a crowd of 2,500 every audience member felt as if Brenda was performing just for them, a feat few performers ever achieve. Brenda's voice is as strong and distinctive as ever. It is truly the voice that brought her the nick name Little Miss Dynamite. Having seen Brenda perform so many times over the years, it was evident, though, that she built in at least two additional sit down, non-singing breaks into her show. After the first set of songs, it was clear it took a toll on her breathing. But Brenda never let up giving her fans 110% of the love they came for. In this performance there was, it seemed, more talking with the audience than songs. But with the love between Brenda and her fans it made no difference. July 25th was a night for love. Every performer should reach that level of success. No one walked away from Brenda's show unsatisfied. Everyone walked out uplifted and experiencing the epitome of goodness, kindness and love in this crazy chaotic world of today. My greatest fear is that she will retire within the next couple years - a retirement she well earned and deserves. Brenda is a beautiful, wonderful, person and a great performer - truly "the lady, the Legend." Ladies and Gentlemen, MISS BRENDA LEE!!! Don't miss her if she is anywhere near where you live.
This lady who is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame AND the Country Music Hall of Fame is still going Strong at 70 years old. Her voice was still great and since she had been singing since age 11 that is remarkable. She sang most of her hits and interacted with the audience and was down to earth. She and her back up group and the band worked so well. If you have a chance to see her please do as you will not regret it.
She still puts on a good show. She is a good entertainer and very humble and appreciative of her fans after being in the business for 60 years.
Brenda Lee may be getting up in years but still has a great stage personality. Loved the concert was very personable and enjoyed every minute,
