The King and Queen of Hearts Tour starring Mary J. Blige and Maxwell Saturday night at Scottrade Center was my second-most anticipated show of 2016 (Of course Bey had the top spot). They didn’t disappoint. Ro James and his little bite-sized opening was cute enough, though his voice is even more nasally than I thought. Mary J. Blige let us know out the gate that she was going there about that messy divorce with Kendu coming for every single one of her coins. And while she is like eighth from the bottom of my list of favorite R&B singers as far as technical skills, she puts on a show when she feels like it. Saturday night took it to the tenth power. She said, “never mind these notes, get into this raw emotion.” And I totally did! She looked great too! That shape was fantastic…and her blonde Brenda from “227”/Tootie from “Facts of Life”/Wilona Woods from “Good Times” wig was on fleek as per usual. Speaking of looking fantastic, I totally could’ve sopped Maxwell up with a biscuit. He is getting finer with age. And while I wasn’t sure what was happening at the beginning of his portion of the show, by the end he served life more abundantly. I just wish he wouldn’t play with us about taking that shirt off. I could see through his gloriously tailored suit that his body was right. And just as Maxwell did, I want to take a moment to shout out his St. Louis band members Keyon Harrold and Shedrick Mitchell – who are both clearly on the same fitness regimen as their boss, because they were in great shape too!
