Monica Tickets

I was disappointed with the beginning of the show. There seemed to be alot of disorganized chaos on stage. Problems with equipment and the delays with the artists. Listened to the Dj's music half the night.

I love Monica however I was very disappointed with the concert. The show was scheduled to start at 8pm however Monica didn't get on stage unil 11pm. All the foks that went on before her SUCKED and it was very hard to sit there and listen to them. Before Monica came on stage the DJ made an announcement saying that Monica was sick and that she probably wouldn't make it out. Then Monica comes out on stage. She informed everyone that she was sick and that her doctor told her no to perform but that she was going to perform anyway. She only song about 5 songs and it was the entire song. She song the 1st and last verse and the hook on the songs and that was it. I live in VA so I had to drive 1.5hrs to get to Lyric. I left my house at 4:30pm and by the time I got there it was 7:20 due to all the traffic. And for me to drive all that way and to wait 3hrs for Monica to come out...it jut wasn't worth it. I feel the right thing that should have been done would have been to give everyone a refund on their tickets. Once again I love Monica but the way that this was handled was HORRIBLE. She mentioned that she would be back to Lyric after her new album dropped but I will not be going back because this concert here has left a bad taste in my mouth. I have been to alot of concerts before and I have never experienced anything like this.

i did not like the concert! 1) the opening acts where unknown performers, not to say it was bad but they could at least sung a song that we would have known~ 2) it took monica about 3 hours to come out and even though she was sick and horcse she sounded good. 3) Monica only sung about 15 songs and they werent even the whole song it was the 1st verse and the course. 4) there was only 3 songs sung off of the new cd still standing! MONCIA IS A GREAT PREFORMER BUT BAD IN CONCERT.. WILL BY NEW CD.

i love monica, shes a very talented singer.show started @8:00, she came on about10:50to 11:30. The show should have been rescheduled or cancelled. Unforseen things happen, were all human we understand that, but i personally bought tickets to see monica, not the 4 opening acts. Hope she comes back so i can enjoy her show, because i didn't care for that one.I gues in that type of business the show must go on, or the other acts lose out.

1st I would like to say that I do understand that Monica was sick; however I paid $56.00 including fees to see her and drove 1 hour away from my home. The show was bad...I like Monica songs but her performance was trouble.

This was my first time at Lyric Opera House. I arrived early to find parking fortunate for me I found parking easily. The down side I arrived at 7p.m. for an 8p.m show and were not let in to be seated until 8:00 p.m. The sound was terrible and Monica didn't come on until 10pm due to the fact that she was sick and didn't want to cancel. She sang a couple songs and that was it. I don't feel like it was worth the money. On top of that the parking structure I parked in is still under construction so there was a long wait to pay so you could leave and it cost top much. Was not a good night. I love Monica she was good. It was just two long of a night and didn't get enough of her.

Monica was great. However, I can not say the same for the opening acts. The show was supposed to start at 8 and did not start until 830. Once the show started, it was hard to hear the performers. The 3 opening acts appeared to be very disengaged. At one point the audiece began chanting Monica's name, hoping she would appear on stage. She did not come on unitl 11:00 and only performed for 30 minutes. Her performace was GREAT!!! Monica is still the best! Her performace was worth the cost of the ticket!

The show was supposed to start at 8:00pm the opening act didn't take the stage until 9:30pm and they were garbage, so most of the night was listening to DJ's trying hyping the crowd. Monica actually took the stage at 10:53pm and the venue ended the show a 11:25pm so we didn't get to enjoy the show as much as we would have liked. We appreciate Monica for going against her doctor's orders and coming to perform anyway, but we would have preferred for her to reschedule and give us a full show.

Monica shows up at the venue at 10:48. This venue usually closes at 11:00pm. She says something about her doctors told her not to perform but she is going to perform anyway. There was no band, just a DJ playinmg her musica "with her vocals" on them I might add. When she first started out I beleive her intention was to lip synch but the crowd was yelling, we can't hear you !!! (Her mic was shut off). So she satrts singing a little, gets the crowd to help her out. I think she ran through 4 songs and the show was over. I would have like for her to cancel the show, have the audience hold on to the tickets and come back (on time!!!) when she was feeling better. That would have been the professional thing to do. I know there needs to be a lot of coordination with promoters, managers, venue whatever, but she owed that to the fans. Did no songs from her "new album release" that has not hit the streets yet.

ONE WORD: Disappointing! People are Ignorant!!!!!!

The hold event was poorly coordinated. It started with a few unknown artist that could not capture the audience and was given too much stage time. Monica did not take the stage for 2 1/2 hours. When she finally took the stage, it was just her and the DJ. You have a packed house, she's the Headliner and all she did was give you the performance that an artist gives when they are paid an appearance fee to show up at a local club. This was quite a disappoint to her fans.

The show was very long winded and unorganized. The sound was horrible n echoed throughout the gallery on numerous occasions. Also at other times there was no sound at all. The show started late and after sitting in the galleries very uncomfortable seats for about 2.5 hours Monica finally performed. Her performance was also hindered because the sound was not working when she first came out and lasted for about 5 minutes. Overall Monica made it worth the time but it was rediculous to hear other acts for that long of a time and then hear the headliner perform for only 30 minutes...

In Monica's defense, I will start with the fact that she had been advised by her doctor not to do the show and that she was obviously doing the best she could considering that at times she could barely talk. That has nothing to do with talent, Monica has that by the boatload. It's just that after many years of not being able to see her perform that we were looking forward to seeing the best of Monica, who is still in my opinion one of the best doing what she does. The show got stretched out as long as possible with all of the other acts with the purpose of limiting Monica's time on stage, I swear that there were at least 3 intermissions between all of the performers. B-more's own Paula Campbell came and did her thang, she did a great job and is very underrated. Another artist by the name of 'Algebra' (I think) also did well, and I enjoyed the creativity and talent that Eric Roberson displayed for a Baltimore crowd that at times showed less class than I would have preferred. At times during Eric Roberson's performance, the crowd blatantly started chanting 'Mo-ni-ca! Mo-ni-ca!' while he was clearly in the middle of singing one of his songs. The class that he displayed against that adversity showed that this man is able to ascend above such petty displays of ignorance. Much respect due to this man. Even though Monica wasn't 100%, she still displayed the talent and ability that propelled her to being considered one of the best pure talents in music since the age of 12. Few could have sang as beautifully and as soulfully as she did under the circumstances and when her 'Still Standing' tour starts we hope to be in the house to experience everything that she has. Love Monica, wish she were well. Hope she gets better soon and we look forward to when she comes back to B-more in full force!

I love Monica and I was very disappointed last night first the openning acts were terrible I just could not get with it you could tell they were stalling everyone was shouting for Monica to come out and people started leaving and asking for their money back. It was well after 10 and she had not hit the stage yet. They said she was sick and was on her way and when she finally got on stage she did like 5 or 6 songs she sounded great and you could tell she was really sick but it was not worth the money I spent not to mention I brought 3 tickets. I would say if Monica camed back to Baltimore I probably would not go see her this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I would get the CD less drama involved.
