Don't listen to the haters...listen to me!
by TheTruthShallSetYouFree on 6/22/10Chene Park - DetroitMy BFF and I went to the Chene Park show. I was excited to see all but Ginuwine (nothing personal, just not really a fan). Avant KILLED IT!!! I don't know which show the previous person went to, but his show went the longest because the fans hadn't had enough of him. His vocals were on point. The event was intended for a "Mature" and Female crowd (hence the name of the show) which should have told you that someone would get a little freaky. But really, aside from the hand down the pants for 2 seconds, it really wasn't a big deal (he didn't even take his shirt off). I was more than impressed by Avant and quite impressed by Carl Thomas. Both guys seem really cool and down to earth. The speakers were too loud on the JE and Ginuwine performances, but honestly I missed most of Ginuwine since I was getting my pic taken with Avant. I have seen Avant in concert and in stageplays a number of times and I have always been pleased. I would definitely go to a Carl Thomas concert now, this was my first time hearing/seeing him live. JE, didn't impress me since they did 85% club songs and didn't do many ballads, which is what made them who they are. I was disappointed. They did sing my jam "Gotta Be" but it was distorted by the loud mics and speakers. The little bit of Ginuwine that I caught was ridiculous. He always jumps into the audience (I saw him a stage play and he did that). It's his gimmick. When you are talented you don't have to win over the audience by your loud suits, crazy mic stands and baby hairs. HOT MESS!!! Then he had the nerve to report that he would be back with Tank and Tyrese (TGT). How about He and Tank stay at the crib and Tyrese come and do a show. Anyhew, that's my 2 cents. I too paid $75 and would pay it again just for Avant and Carl Thomas. I don't recall Avant mentioning a recession and if he did, it had to have been just once. Stop being dramatic.
