I’m not sure if there was a specific purpose to the concert other than to showcase their talent. But the theme of the concert was resentment. I think the pieces were performed well but I did enjoy some songs more than others. There were times when I felt they rhythmically “together” but it wasn’t that bad. I think they musicians were playing in tune and some parts of certain songs were out of tune. I don’t know who was who on the stage Ut I did enjoy the woman who sung resentment by Beyoncé. She was very soulful and you could feel her emotion. The concert did seem well prepared and thought out. Tyrone was my least favorite because there wasn’t a lot of actual singing and was instrument based. They expected crowd participation but it didn’t happen. No, this type of concert experience wasn’t new to me. It actually was similar to many concerts I’ve been to. The genre was rhythm and blues because the emotion of bitter, sadness that was in the message of the songs. This concert did seem a little more mature than other concerts I had attended. There was a person who played every instrument they needed for the song. The performers were proud and happy of their work. You could see them congratulating each other after each piece. The crowd was very energetic and happy for the performers that they came to support. Overall, I liked the concert so much that if I’m not busy, I’ll attend another one from the group.
