Saturday November 7, 2009

Sexy Soul TourThe Sexy Soul Tour, which was headlined by Eric Benet and featured Mint Condition and Ledisi as opening acts, has been abruptly cancelled after just five shows. The tour, which kicked off Oct. 29 in Houston, played it's last date Nov. 6 in Cleveland. As of right now, the exact reason for the tour being halted aren't known, but in a press release, the promoters said that "due to unforeseen personal matters and circumstances beyond the control of the promoters and most importantly the artists, it had to be done." If you've got tickets to any of the remaining shows, you can get a refund at the point of purchase.

I happened to see the concert in Atlanta. It was a great show. Ledisi did her thing. Mint Condition—well it was more rolling on the floor and jumping around. Eric Benet def was on point, although it seemed that his set was shorter than his opening acts and he was the headliner. Either way he def gave an enjoyable show and made me go back and pull out his old c.ds.

Saw the show here in Atlanta on Halloween night.Ledisi was outstanding (as usually), Mint Condition was too loud, and Eric Benet was so tired, because he was singing to tracks. so I am glad the tour was been cancelled, and maybe, now Ledisi can do her Turn Me Loose tour. I wanna see her again, and again.

I saw the show in Cincinnati Oh Ledsi rocked the house, I was disappointed E Benet lacked stage presence w/o back up singers.
