The Concert Connect

Doors don’t open until 8 and well it’s coldddddddddd outside! I think my new retainers make my teeth shiver really hard and loud. It’s only 7:38. I’m about to cry !! We have 15 more minutes of standing in this line. Lawd, I better get a good spot up close 😂. You know how people like to be early for movies that’s how I feel about concerts. It’s 8:16. I’m a human popsicle! I’m in line texting my sister trying to distract myself from how cold it is. I think my knees are about to give out on me. Folks look really cute with their boo! I tend to do this concert thing alone and you know how much confidence and how okay you have to be with yourself to go to public settings alone....especially on Valentine's day. I’m in the venue, still cold...but warmer than before. After the baggage of today healthy coping came right on time. Glad I didn’t wear my best outfit. The Believe Music Hall looks like a church on the outside, but the inside was cool. Just like that I’m fr

I LOVE WALE! 💙🌙 (I wrote this in November, but edited it and now it says February)  I waited my whole life for Wale to go on tour, not really my whole life but it felt that way! I bought tickets and didn’t think twice about it. My little sister came with me, she’s the best. It was my first time seeing Wale and I’ll for sure see him again. His tour started before he dropped “Wow... That’s Crazy” and will be performing in Atlanta again on Valentines Day. So we know what I'm doing on Valentine's Day!  Wale is one of my favorite artist! He’s a true lyricist! Often slept on or not appreciated as much. I really think this man is amazing, wow...that’s crazy. He’s such a storyteller and that’s probably what I love the most. Wale is a hopeless romantic and I love it. I really enjoyed this show in October ! Lotus Flower Bomb @ Center Stage on 10/4/19

My first concert of 2020 was BeBe Winans & Korean Soul. For the first Sunday of the year my Atlanta (Roswell) Church, Eagles Nest Church , included these men as a part of the worship service. Very iconic and Korean Soul has SOUL! They can sang! I grew up Baptist...Missionary Baptist so I absolutely loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee a good choir. These men blessed us and you could really feel the spirit moving. I love 90's/Early 2000s Gospel ! Modern Gospel is cool...but nothing like the old classics. Korean Soul singing "Total Praise" was beautiful! My mom being a choir director when I was a kid has a lot to do with my love for old gospel songs.  I sung in the choir for years as well. I even sung in the gospel choir in college..S/o to LH! I have my gospel playlist on here as well, just click shuffle. For the first hour of my day I try to really center my day around God by listening to Gospel Music. It started off as being something that I did while fasting, b

Uncle Charlie the LEGEND! The venue smelled like beer and cologne full with married people and/or 40+ saints and I had a great time! My mom and I haven't done a concert together since Beyoncé and Jay. I believe she had a great time too. First Name CHARLIE, Last Name WILSON turnt up and took us to church! I have nothing negative to say about this show. It was the perfect way of ending my 2019 tour of concerts. I still don't have a name for this Blog yet....and I was suppose to write about Charlie Wilson's show a little while ago, but better late than never. The costumes for the dancers in the " You Are " video below was probably the most iconic moment. The footage of Uncle Charlie running on the "Keep running" part form The Gap Band Classic tickled my soul.

Sooooo basically this guy created this playlist for me and it had a couple songs from her 2017 album "Feels" and 2016 album "Don't Explain"....instant fan. Her 2019 album "-Ugh,those feels again" was EVERYTHING! One of my favorite albums of 2019 honestly. The perfect combination of all the sap broken heart hopeless romantic feelings I needed musically at the time. Her concert in Atlanta sold out fast af! It took me weeksssssssssssssssssssssssss before I could secure tickets and thank God I did. This show was amazing! She has an amazing voice. The crowd loved her. She sounds exactly like how she did on the album. I didn't too much care for the lighting during the show because it made it hard to see her, but Center Stage is one of my favorite venues in Atlanta. Baby Rose opened the show and WOW I was not expecting that big of a voice from such a little person.  She even took pictures with people after her performance. I Want You Aroun

I love me some Chris Brown. I've been a fan since forever! I've probably seen him perform 6-8 times now. The F.A.M.E. Tour was the best and his best album! I saw Chris the same week of Tyler/GoldLink and Wale. It was my LS birthday and our third concert experience together! S/o to TB! This probably wasn't my favorite show. The sound was bad.......which was crazy because I went to Tyler's concert at the same place the next day and he was AMAZING. I wasn't too crazy about the song  Heat x Chris Brown ft. Gunna ....but after seeing him perform it I liked the song a little more. Easy (Remix) ft. Christopher Maurice Brown is a BOP! I may have seen Chris 3 times in 2019 : One Music Fest, This Kendrick Lamar tour that was over the summer, and then this concert. I'm not too crazy about his 30+ song albums, but he is a legend! An artist!
