review by Charles

 

 

I just got back from Chicago (I live in Bolingbrook) and I am completely breathless! Whitney was fantastic! The show was just so great that I can't even think of the words to describe just how fantastic the concert was. Here are as many details that I can remember:

Songs: (I don't remember the exact order/mixed up)

- Get It Back: I know for a fact that this is what she opened the show with, and she absolutely tore it up! (high notes galore)
- In My Business: The BOMB!!! She ended the song by saying "Get A Job." The Crowd loved it
- I Learned From the Best: Perfect, just like the record, with ad libbing...
- Saving All My Love For You: Loved it! She hit all of the high notes, with so much control...
- If I Told You That: Superb!: I loved this song even more so live!!
- My Love is Your Love (she did the Wyclef Remix): Great! Bobbi Kristina came out and did her part (clap your hands!)
- I wanna dance with somebody (remix): Crowd loved this one!
- How Will I know: The crowd instantly jumped to their feet! All the high notes were there!
- Until You Come Back: In my opinion, she did this much better than the actual record.
- Medley: I Believe in You and Me/Why Does it Hurt So Bad: One would think that putting these two songs together in a medley would be a mistake, but they way she blended them were perfect!
- I Love The Lord: Breathtaking!!!! I was literally shedding tears during this song! She held her high notes so long!!! (in terms of chest voice/belting) Standing Ovation
- Exhale (Shoop, Shoop): Wonderful! No other word to describe it!
- It's Not Right, But It's Okay: Excellent, she even went for the high notes that she never attempted in her television performances of the songs!!!! Before introducing
her band, she changed it up and did a chorus or two to the smooth mix.
- Oh Yes: Now, I originally , didn't like this song on the album, but hearing it live with the live instruments, made the song (and Whitney's interpretation of it) to die for! Crowd Loved this!!!
- Heartbreak Hotel: Perfect! Whitney sang the verses of course, but the crowd took over during the chorus!
- I Go To The Rock: Excellent: she ripped it! Whitney had people shouting Hallelujah!!! If she sung one more gospel tune, we would have had church up in there!!!!!
- I Will Always Love You: All I have to say is that I will never forget her performance of this song tonight: It was SOOOOOOO much better than her Divas Live interpretation of the song. This time she sung it more like the record in terms of technical perfection, but there was also, so much emotion behind it!!! LOVED IT!!! Yes, she hit the big one!!! (AND IIIIIIIIIIII!!!)

- I May have missed a song or two...

Fashion: Whitney came out in the coat with the LOOOONNNGGG train that was shown on Oprah, and underneath she had on the outfit that she performed INRBIO in: looked fabulous!!! The
next outfit could have been replaced, it was the black outfit with the black jeans underneath the sheer covering, however, the jeans were cutoff at the knees, and she was wearing these type of boots (not very attractive)
The last outfit was decent, it was those leopard pants with a black top, and the blue mink jacket. It looked okay, but looked even better when she took the blue mink off....

Miscellaneous: Cissy Houston was in the audience! Whitney also went up to this woman in the audience during INRBIO, and let her take the microphone and sing (she wasn't all that great, but it was funny; the crowd loved it). During, a
breakdown in MLIYL, she asked for two people out of the audience to see if they could do the limbo: she ended bringing up three people, and she even did the limbo herself while in her pumps!!!! The crowd absolutely loved it!!! The group, 112 was the opening act.
