Am thinking of buying tickets to see her, but I've never seen her perform before, and was wondering if any of you guys had seen her?

What's a typical CK setlist?

I've seen her live 3 times

The Tour she did to support I Feel 4 U, When she toured with Prince and Larry and then at Summer Stage in Central Park... she does put on a great show

depends on if she is sober or not.

Depends on what her voice is doing that day. I'm going to see her at the North Sea Jazz Festival though.

I’ve only seen her once and her backup singers did more singing than she did. I was very disappointed. It was still amazing to see her especially the crowd response to I’m Every Woman.

Some friends saw her and said she was good but was high and didn’t know the words to the songs.

I seen her live on a couple occasions, the last time I saw her was a great performance.. A show that had AWB on the bill, the fact that they were taping part of her performance to be televised on UNCF Parade Of Stars may have helped.

When she's on point, she's on point....
It's been a while since I've seen her in concert high, but a performance on BET were she paid tribute to Miss Flawless ....well, I digress.

I love her.

Live performance of Rodgers & Hart's "My Funny Valentine".

I saw her in 2004..HOT HOT HOT. I couldnt believe this womans voice in person!!! Prince was backstage but he was scared to come out

She said, "Prince!!! Come on!!" Then she went back there and then she came back out and told us he was shy as usual.

She was doing I Feel 4 U (the last song).

Not anymore, no.

There's a good chance of catching 2 leprecons than catching Chaka on a GOOD day, vocally.

I'm supporting her ALL the way regardless coz thats my main bitch.

I saw her last year at radio city together with Jill Scott. Not that good.

Right. I saw her once and she barely sang. I mean she sang but seriously you couldn't even hear her and I doubt it was because the sound system was so bad. I think she just wasn't even trying. Like literally it sounded like a whisper. She had to be fucked up I would see her again just to be in her presence though

The last time I saw her was at Essence in 2004 WITH Prince. They BOTH sounded great. Amazing night.

I've seen her twice in the past 5 or 6 years and she was great. Her band was tight and very funky. I can't attest to her sobriety.

oh my stars...i got this thread mixed up with the nikka costa in new york thread and started to freak out.

i was thinking, "noooo...not nikka too!!!"

Not in years.

Every televised performance I've seen of Chaka has been a sloppy mess. Nearly everybody that attended the Divas concert at Radio Music City Hall last month said she was the weakest link of the bunch. I wouldn't put my money on it, have somebody else pay for it.

I saw Chaka only once.This was in 2001,when she was touring with a reunited Rufus.Great show! During the show,she mentioned that they were working on a reunion album but I guess they never finished it.

Once upon a time..

Didn't know she was a drunk???
