Yolanda was very disappointing
by Chocklit on 4/24/11UNO Lakefront Arena - New OrleansI went to the concert ready to be spiritually stirred. Instead, the show started about one half hour late. While waiting we were "treated" to secular music even the blues! JessicaReedy, James Fortune and Deitrick Haddon were fantastic and full of spirit! Deitrick's performance was very "unconventional" to say the least. Liked his session, but wished he had calmed down bit to catch up with the sound. His voice sounded different from his recording. Yolanda only sang two pieces with which I was familiar and her portion of the program was the shortest! She dragged out two other songs that I had never heard. When will performers get the idea that most people go to thier shows to see them perform the music we already know? I don't think it if fair to debut an upcoming project on an audience.
