Toni Braxton in Philly!

Just saw Toni on Saturday evening at the Tower here in Philly. Man, I love me some Toni. She was a class act. Her show was great. She did a variety of costume changes. None too skimpy just pure diva and sexy. Her sisters sang backup. The other "Tamar" was in town. LOL! Funny I bought $65 tickets and still seemed in the middle. I should have paid another $10 and I probably would have been a lot closer. Dag man! She came out in the audience and was sitting on guys laps and singing to them. I wish I could've been that boy. She still in mad shape man. Phew!! She did a mixture of old skool Toni and new. I bought a book of her photo's done in black and white as a lil' memory piece. I'mma support homegirl cuz she takes me back to when concerts were more about a certain diva status with class. And not all of today's sexme up and down nonsense. LOL! Check her out ya'll. She was real audience friendly.

I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back.
I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there.
I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish.

Oh, does she already have a date in Oakland? confused mad I gotta check TicketMaster...

The Paramount is a GREAT venue to see this kind of show - laid back stuff where you're not dancing & shit. It's basically an art deco theater, the stage is as wide as the entire room (pretty much) & there's great views everywhere. nod

Yo man, I know she started out with the song "take this ring"! And she blazed it. Most of the other songs were done in a medley type of thang. She did parts of some. Others she mixed up with a club beat feel. Sorta like a new wave remix. Overall she did unbreak my heart as a finale. All of the favorites and popular ones she performed. Sorry that's about all I can remember. I was just enjoying the performance. Not really paying attention to the lineup. I got some pics I took. I don't know how they will turn out, I was pretty far away from the stage and my camera's zoom is not the greatest. If they are any good I will post em'.

I can pretty much guess the older stuff she'll do BUT if you can remember the songs off the new album she does, I'd love to know that biggrin

I hope "You're Makin Me High" wasn't part of a medley. That's her best song and one of THE best songs ever IMHO.

I would also die to hear "You Mean the World To Me"...8th grade memories!!

Well man, my suggestion is to just check her out cuz I can't remember how many songs she did or which ones were a part of a medly. I guess it's more like snippets. How could she do "all" of them completely? LOL! I would say that her show lasted about an hour and a half.
