I know y’all are wondering how I was able to be at two places at once. To that I say mind your business. Do you want to know about the Fantasia and Musiq Soulchild show at the Fox or not? Okay then, let’s get to it. Last minute sales meant that the show had a nice-sized crowd. And that was a good thing because it turned out to be a great show from all parties involved. Usually his performance serves as my pre-show powernap, but Musiq Soulchild must have spent the past two years in somebody’s live performance boot camp because he came out and sang like he actually performs for a living for a change. His AWESOME live band and tag team duo of background vocals, gave us his yesteryear hits like “Radio”, “Buddy” and one of my favorites, “For the Night.” Fannie stepped foot on that stage and opened with the crowd pleaser “It’s All Good,” and the “favorite ratchet auntie at the BBQ realness” instantly ensued. As I’m trying to enjoy my cousin in my head and her show, I had to suffer through your Uncle Floyd with his scalp length cornrows and his boo rocking a fresh red 27 piece quick weave to my right trying to capture the ENTIRE performance on their BOOST Mobile Haywei phones. Needless to say, this took nothing away from Fantasia’s performance as she belted out a few classics and some new material. As y’all know, she stays in her feelings…I mean, every range of emotion. But I still got my life as she showcased her newly chiseled Shaun T insanity shape and perfectly pressed sew-in along with her powerhouse vocals. It was also a plus that throughout the night, she showed major love to her 3 background vocalists, which were phenomenal. From what I could tell they were STL locals, due to the fact that they KILLT (yes, I said KILLT) their solo performances. STL songstress Tish Haynes-Keys and other guests could be heard yelling “Sing Tasha!” or “Sing Ursula!” The show concluded with Fannie getting adventurous and sitting on the edge of the stage while crying and singing “Lose to Win” and side-cradling a little girl from the audience. Then she bounced off the stage in what appeared to be a New Orleans second-line band tribute exit stage left. There was a lot going on, but for most of it I wasn’t mad.
