a whole night of R&B songs simply made the tickets worthy. Babyface is one of the best artists for this genre and no doubt, last night's performance proved it all further. Babyface certainly knew how to entertain his fans and this was potrayed best by the immense loudness of screaming ladies who were anticipating and wanting lurveee from him. other than that, he also filled the time by telling some humorous stories and made the whole hall to be filled with laughter.
I am extremely glad that he managed to bring out the what i called as "R&B feelings" while watching his performance. at one point, i thought i was going to lose my mind especially when he sang the "I'll make love to you". mamma mia! he left me breathless! thank God, my other half was right next to me to keep my sanity intact.
he sang for 2 hours and kudos also went to his band which performed outrageously energetic live music. Babyface's voice was undeniably beautiful and powerful though there were moments when he lost his voice. oh well, he's 51 years old and it was a LIVE performance! you can't expect him to sound exactly like the recorded ones.
anyway, Opening act was by Najwa. this was my 2nd time watching her performed. this girl truly got the voice though you could not help but to notice that she was slightly nervous interacting with the audience. well, i hope she doesnt stop here cause she really has the talent. her songs are catchy too! so, while waiting for Babyface's turn, Sarimah took some time to entertain the audiences. i think she did a great job and i think she could pull of jokes better in English than in Malay.
in summary, last night defined R&B very well. however, i was a bit disappointed that he mostly played his 1980s hits instead of those during my era. but it's sokay coz i know my head swayed the whole time with the beats anyway. well, thank you Babyface for the "great-wonderful-double thumbs and big toes up" night and thanks to Pineapple concert for bringing a sensational R&B star in KL. lastly, lots of thanks to my other half for the opportunity!
