    Great Concert

    by Esfromdownsouth on 7/7/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    The India.Arie and Tamia show was fabulous. These ladies really put on a brilliant show. I was surprised by how long Tamia's part of the show was. Tamia performed for about an hour, including singing and dancing in front of a full band. She covered all of her hits. There was a very touching part of the show when Tamia's husband, Grant Hill, and their two children came out during her show. It was very well done. Grant even got in on the action by playing piano during one the intros to one of Tamia's songs. Tamia's band was spectacular, including her Music Director Shep Crawford who wrote or cowrote quite a few of her hits. He's a beast on keyboards. Whoever ran sound for Tamia also needed some credit. She sounded like her records, spectacular. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Tamia's superfine dancers/background singers. These girls were hott hott hott, form fitting white pants included. A very nice visual if you know what I mean. Just when you thought the show had reached a high, India.Arie came out and man oh man was it "on." India.Arie performed for another hour to hour and a half. She sang quite a few songs from her new record, but covered all of the bases with her hits from her four albums. There were a few songs that I would have liked to hear, "Long Goodbye" from the new album and "India's Song" from her previous release. But I suppose everyone has their favorites and artists only have so much time. India gave it her all. She stated that she'd just recovered from some sort of ear, nose, and throat ailment, but you'd never know it from her performance. She showed herself to be quite the multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, piano and who would have thunk it, flute. All done very admirably. India's band and background singers were also very tight. Not including India, her band comprised of keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums. Two background singers filled out the ensemble with India freelancing on acoustic and electric guitar, keyboards, flute or just vocals. As an artist India is so inspirational because you can tell that she has really come into her own as an artist by her adoption of her mission to bring peace through music and words. Great show. If she comes this way again, I'm so there. This show was definitely the way to celebrate July 4th. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

    Awesome performances by two wonderful performers!

    by iluvmusic on 7/6/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    I thoroughly enjoyed the concert! It started later than scheduled, but it was worrth it. Tamia has vocals to rival all singers in the game right now, including Beyonce. She didn't sing a few of my favorites, but she did sing the charttoppers. Grant Hill bringing the kids out on "Still" was beautiful to say the least. Let's not metion her WELL TONED body - OMG!! India.arie blew my socks off! She is so down to earth and really gave me a show. I loverd every minute of it. True performer. Beautiful woman and artist, inside and out.

    India was Authentic, Original, Spirtitual & Amazin

    by INDIASGIRL on 7/6/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    Ms. Arie was everything I imagined her to be and more. She put on a great show and made me feel as if we were friends. She is so down to earth and her music seems so familiar to what I have experienced throughout my life. I can't believe that I can relate to her so well. She is hope for our generation and her music describes a better future for the coming generation. She sings songs such as "There's Hope ". She is a role model and a great talent with the consideration of others; she makes music for the soul for a wide range of music lovers. Her music is not only for a man and a women but also for a child, older folks, aunts, uncle, sisters, and brothers teaching Love and Respect. India is real and honest, her music is so authentic you can tell she doesn't just sing for the money but for the love of the world. I can only speak for myself personally but India is amazing performer, artist, and woman.

    Tamia stole the show!

    by TamiaFan on 7/6/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    Tamia really sounded great as usual! My only complaints are that the show did not start on time and that we had to wait a very long time in between sets.

    India is amazing and inspirational!!

    by salsamama81 on 7/6/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    This entire concert from one of the opening acts of Hal from Barbados to Tamia and Grant Hill doing a small performance together all the way to the main act of India Arie was just unforgettable. India was just so relaxed like she was just performing in front of friends and family! She was really in touch with the audience and really fed off of our excitement! I will definately be going to all of her concerts in the central Florida area in the future!! LOVED IT!!

    India is awesome!

    by SereneLeo10 on 7/6/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    I truly enjoyed the show. The up-and-coming artists were interesting; I will look for Hal Linton's work to come. Tamia was wonderful...first time I'd ever seen her perform. Her show was high energy and a great way to prep for India. Ms. India was simply amazing! Honest, generous, engaging, just a wonderful human being sharing a lovely message. Her genuineness comes through in all her works.

    Awesome Concert!

    by Gret on 7/5/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    I had an awesome time. Great venue, with the exception that there were points where I couldn't hear the artist over the band, but other than that......India is a great entertainer and it was worth the trip in from Lakeland!!

    True, great music

    by Rasta on 7/5/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    India Arie is a true artist within her field. She's comfortable and down to earth when she's on stage. Every song makes you wanna get up and dance. She's very beautiful and amazingly talented.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Tamia and India.Arie as they presented different performances but both engaged the audience and displayed great vocals! It was also nice to see the new up and coming talent have a chance to perform.

    EXCELLENT CONCERT

    by JENNKELBY77 on 7/5/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    GREAT CONCERT. TAMIAS PERFORMANCE WAS A LITTLE SHORT. INDIA AIRES INTERACTION WITH THE AUDIENCE WAS GREAT. THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE FOOD AVAILABLE OR A CONCESSION STAND. SEATING IS VERY CRAMPED, NEED MORE AISLES IN BETWEEN SEATS AS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE TO PASS TO LEAVE.

    Soul Summer: India GREAT! Tamia GOOD...

    by sarita on 7/5/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    India was worth all the painstaking time we waited for her to come out. Fortunately, Tamia was a great entertainer, but even after a couple songs, we were so antsy for India to come out. The new artists only ok... and the MC was really hokey and annoying. So it was a really long night.. until India came out!!! She was worth all the wait. We LOVE HER!!!

    Amazing show!

    by sunstar on 7/5/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    I have always been long time fans of both Tamia and India Arie. They did NOT disappoint. The show was amazing. They both have such beautiful, unique, and strong voices and their performances were authentic and flawless. I also enjoyed the opening acts Hal Linton and Brad. They are wonderful talents as well. It was a great way to celebrate the 4th of July Weekend and I can't wait until they come back to Orlando. Phenomenal ladies!

    amazing concert

    by ckee213 on 7/5/09Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre - Orlando

    This concert was great. I became a fan of India . Arie. Her music was real true and pure. Tamie is a great performer. Her tribute to Michael Jackson was not over the edge. She as able to show respect to him and still keep the focus on her and her craft.
