I brought all of my loved ones (Luigi et al!) with me (in one form or another) including my brother and mother. My dear mom may have been the eldest of the crowd, and she loved it!!! Sade delivered on all fronts; show, visuals, song choice. Her band is stellar! One of my faves! Sade cuts to the heart of matters, and takes anyone who truly listens to a deeper place. In this world of so-called divas, Sade is actually divine! She pulls from higher sources. Thank you Sade for your art! Please keep it coming! Oh, and John Legend, with whom I was not very familiar, rocked the house like crazy during warmup! He's kind of like a modern day Al Green!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273746820022109678.post-21195901906603397382011-08-02T23:08:52.724-04:002011-08-02T23:08:52.724-04:00Always a class act.

I may make it up to Greensboro for an encore - she may be an AARP card carrying member by the time we see her here again considering how long between albums :-).

Sade's name in her bio is clearly shown as (shar-day) as the correct pronunciation. <br />Besides, I don't know what concert you were at, but to compare Sade with Alicia Keys is like comparing apples to oranges. There is NO comparision! Sade is timeless and classy and has a powerful beautiful voice at 52 years young!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273746820022109678.post-19160165891424500642011-08-02T19:37:26.741-04:002011-08-02T19:37:26.741-04:00This was one of the Best shows I've ever seen....This was one of the Best shows I've ever seen.

It was the reason I wanted to see her again. She is such a soul griping performer. Compared to what the newer artist do on their tours today, Sade can teach them a lesson in less is more. I hope it doesn't take another 10+ years for her to visit again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273746820022109678.post-56767801571366628962011-08-01T10:41:23.690-04:002011-08-01T10:41:23.690-04:00awesome..both artist performed like grammy award w...awesome..both artist performed like grammy award winners.
