Who's Bad

First time at the venue. We absolutely loved it. It was intimate and open and all around convenient with General Admission access for everyone. Great place to see a show. The band started right on time at 8:00 PM and ended at 9:45 PM. They covered most of MJ's big / high energy hits (I mean he has a huge catalog). As noted in other reviews, there was a lot of time spent introducing and reintroducing the band members. As far as rating Who's Bad. It's hard to give them an accurate review. The lead guy who plays MJ was out due to a death in the family. Obviously we cannot fault them for that and he is in our thoughts and prayers. But with that said, I feel like we did not get a full show (the set list was paired down and it seemed like the number of people on stage was too on top of not getting to see the guy people rave about). We still had fun, but not quite what we expected. I assume true MJ fans would like them no matter what.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to watch and listen to Michael Jackson, this show will allow you to be in the presence of Michael Jackson. From the first note, to his first move, one will see, first hand, that this young man, Mr. James Times III, has thoroughly mastered his craft. His passion for music and his love for Michael Jackson, emanates See the show, you will not be disappointed. He will have you singing Michael Jackson songs days after the show.

We enjoyed the show! We did not like the opening act. Why does the MJ cover group need a opening band? I guess to waste time to sell drinks.

We used to go watch these guys in Carolina. They used to be much better when they had just the one MJ. Now they have added a second MJ who is not nearly as good.

Who's Bad was out of this world! Definitely captured the true spirit of Michael Jackson. My boyfriend and I had the best time. Would definitely go see them again. Also, BB King's was a great venue. Smaller and intimate.

Incredible Show. Never seen them perform before and never experienced a tribute band. Simply amazing.

I've seen this show several times and it's amazing. So much fun! They play all of the hits and really get the crowd dancing! There are costume changes to represent the different Michael Jackson Eras, as well as choreographed dance moves to keep the crowd entertained. You can tell that the group really enjoys performing MJ's music. I'm planning on seeing Who's Bad the next time they are in NYC.

I really enjoyed them. I saw michael perform live once. These guys come real close to what he did. I would really love to see them again.

The support groups were fantastic, who'll bad took us back to the Jackson 5 and Michael's greatest hits with expertise and soooo much fun we had a blast!!!!! Can't wait to find them on tour again...

Dance moves just like MJ! Songs were amazing! Outfits were amazing! Band was amazing!

Being a HUGE , Michael Jackson fan, I was delighted to hear that Who's Bad would be performing near me. Who's Bad exceeded my expectations!!!! From start to finish, it was an amazing tribute to the King of Pop. In fact, Who's Bad will be performing about an hour away from me in May 2011 and I already have tickets to go see them again!

What an awesome show. The entire crowd was dancing and singing the entire time. Who's Bad absolutely brought it and would make Mike J proud of all of his accomplishments. If you love hot dance moves and having a great time this is definitely the show for you.

I have to say it was more than I expected. This show was so entertaining. It was the closest thing to seeing MJ himself. I took my kids and they were up dancing and singing. Great show!

At the begining it started off slow but as the groups began playing it got better and better. The funk group took it back ole school style and that was incridible. Then came the Who's Bad group and they turned it out, I enjoyed the first Michael more so than the second. He was so energetic and the moves was awesome.

You ask, Who's Bad? Well. Who's Bad is BAD!!! I have seen these guys in concert twice now and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I love their enthusiasm for Michael Jackson and for pouring that out on the stage when they perform! They tribute Michael like no other!!! Keep up the good work Who's Bad! Love you guys!

Awesome concert with lots of energy. Great band and very entertaining.

The Who's Bad show in Columbus, OH was amazing! It was almost like being at a real Michael Jackson concert! Their performance brought my friend and I to tears and such emotion! It was fantastic!

They put on a really amazing show!!! We love u Michael!!

Who's Bad clearly showed their absolute love and admiration for the King of Pop in their 2-hour show. They were able to keep the entire crowd excited & involved in the act, and screaming for more. Taalib's dance moves were exactly like Michael's, and he even incorporated in the little smiles and facial expressions that Michael did... it was like watching an actual Bad Tour concert!!! As I never saw Michael in person in concert, this is actually the next best thing. Wonderful tribute, the only thing I wish was that they played more Dangerous/HIStory material! I was so impressed, I am going to see Who's Bad again later this month, and can't wait!

I have been to over 30 concerts in the last 10 years and this was my favorite BY FAR! The venue itself was smaller which was wonderful, because no matter where you were you had a perfect view, which made for a much more intimite setting. The musicality of the band was amazing. What most made it the best concert for me was the TALENT of the two men singing and dancing as Michael Jackson. Their vocals were SO spot on that there was no difference in their sound and that of listening to the original artist! And watching their dance moves reminded me that he truly was the King Of Pop in that every artist dancing on MTV these days are still doing moves originating from him 30 years ago! Michael absolutely lived on thru these guys as they had the voice, the moves, even the manurisms down to a "T"!!! WAY TO GO "WHO'S BAD" A TRULY AMAZING JOB!!!

They played a good, long set with all the hits. The dance moves were spot on, it was much better than I even expected. I would definitely go see them again. Only minor annoyance was that the doors opened at 7:00 and they didn't start until 9:00, which was not disclosed on the tickets or venue website.

The concert was to began at 9 and the opener didn't play until 9:30. The Whose bad didn't start playing until 11:30. I think an opener should only play for an hour. By then people were tired and impatient some were booing. The Whose bad had several MJ impersonators who sang a couple of songs each. One was really good but by 1;30 am I was too tired to watch any more.

Damn good show! We were all so impressed and are planning on attending next years show.

Great concert. The band was a lot of fun and the seats we were very close to the stage. Highly recommend this concert to others.

I've been to HOB many many times to see headliners..I was amazed at the turnout for a tribute band. This group is sensational! Hands down one of the best times I've had out in a while!

I was not sure what to expect since I was invited to the event, needless to say it was a great night! loved the music, the sound, the singers and the whole show. This was a show well done by this group. They played the most memorable songs of MJ and kept the crowd live!

Pretty good stuff - if you wanna hear some good tunes and see some sweet dancing, go check em out. Be sure to wear you MJ gear too.

AMAZING!! Went for my 30th birthday. We danced, sang, drank, and had a blast! These guys are extremely talented. I would definitely see them again.

Any Michael Jackson fan needs to see these guys, not to be missed!

This was our third year in a row seeing this band at the Bluebird and they only get better. I've never been an MJ fan but I'm a HUGE "Who's Bad" fan.

If you are a micheal fan this is the band you must see. we have seen them twice and they dont disapoint. great show

Another amazing show! This group brings so much energy to the stage every single time they perform. They all such great guys as well.

Always amazing energy. James Times is an awesome MJ. JoBell was great, missed his Earth Song or Dirty Diana. Also missed having dancers for this show. The band is amazing... Aaron's energy is contagious. Band came down to meet fans after the show. Check out Archie Logan's live feed on Facebook of the shows!

Singers, musicians, dancers, choreographers, everyone brought the spirit of Michael to the house.

I took my niece to see this show, we had an excellent time. The show was a very professional, high-energy, entertaining, enjoyable experience that was well worth the 2-hour drive. We would love to go again and would highly recommend it to others. The meet & greet afterward showed that these excellent entertainers appreciate their audience. Looking back, I don't recall seeing any moonwalk -- which I would have loved, but evidently I was having too much fun to notice.

8th time seeing this tribute band, an although this time we did not have Taalib the lead singer, JoeBel did a great job and performed songs I've never heard the band do before. I missed Taalib's spot on dancing and performances of Jam and Smooth Criminal, but loved JoBel's Come Together, Dirty Diana, and She's Out of My Life. Aaron on sax, and Ray on Trumpet were high energy and always fun to watch.

You will not be disappointed with this show. Very entertaining, talented group of dancers, singers and musicians. You will be singing and dancing the night away. This is one of the best tribute band performing.

The show was great! High energy, audience participation, great music ... I really enjoyed the entire concert from start to finish.

My friend and I saw these peeps for the first time on Sept. 27,2014 and it was SO much fun! Our MJ for the evening was Mr. Taalib York. He definitely did not disappoint especially on the dance moves. I thought he was nice to look at too. His singing could have been a little bit better on some parts, but i'm NOT complaining about that. It's hard to sound exactly like the real MJ. He sounded REALLY GOOD on Human Nature. Almost exactly like the real MJ does. My ONLY complaints was that they did NOT play Dirty Diana, and that was the one i wanted to see the MOST. That would've brought the hotness level up to like 1,000 degrees, but oh well maybe next time. I hope. Also, the opening band was on for WAY too long. They ended up doing like 4 songs for their ENCORE, that is RIDICULOUS! We did not come there to see the opening band play forever,we came their to see Who's Bad doing MJ songs. Oh well, at least they had a decent drummer, but still played WAY too long! But overall, it was an AWESOME show and we would definitely go see them again!

My hubby and I visited Boston for our anniversary and last minute decided to attend this show. Our expectation was low, mainly because of the unknown. We knew nothing about this band. But we were blown away. It was an amazing show, so much fun. Great vocals, lively band and an interactive event made it to an unforgettable night. Love, love love the show

MJ fan or not, you will love this band. As a group and as individuals, they are just talented and charismatic. The show is packed with alot of energy and movement. Musicians are fanastic, along with lead singer,Taalib his singing and dancing abitlities for me keeps MJ's legacy alive beautifully. So if you had or haven't had the pleasure of seeing the King of Pop himself, then I would recommend Who's Bad as the group to see. They are amazing and alot of fun, so get ready to "Enjoy Yourself" and to "Jam",,,,Kath Marie, Bristol PA

This show was awesome! My daughter and I could have stayed and danced all night to Who's Bad. It really is such a wonderful way to keep his spirit alive. I would see this show over and over and over again. Thank you Who's Bad. Please come back soon :)

Absolutely the BEST Michael Jackson tribute band!! Close your eyes and you think hes there The moves were amazing too Great musicians..kickass band!!

The only thing we didn't like is that the show didn't start on time which was supposed to be 8:00 with doors opening at 7:00. Show didn't start until after 9:00!!! Hated that! We should have been informed ahead of time so we didn't have to sit there that long!

This show was amazing, I only rate this show 4 out of 5 stars because the show started almost 1 hour late and we took 7 year old children to the show who grew tired. However, when the show started, the party never stopped!! We had an amazing evening and we are looking forward to seeing them again.

We had so much fun! The band was amazing and Michael played all our favorites. We loved the dancing!

This was an amazing show! Sounded and danced just like Michael Jackson, his band and dancers were also awesome! Can't wait to see them again!!!

This show was incredible! James who portrays MJ is spot on with his voice, mannerisms and dancing. This is a must see! Thank you James for your talent and dedication to perfection. Thank you and come back soon because we can t wait to see you again!

Who s Bad was a great experience! The dancing and singing were great! The band was so energetic and contributed greatly to the whole show!

Hands down an amazing show! The Michael Jackson impersonator was ridiculously amazing! The band alone was phenomenally amazing also! Pure entertainment for all ages and i will be going next year!

This year was the best with only 1 Michael. And the songs were changed up and not as many of michaels long story songs

Grandson & dad had a blast. Awesome show. Awesome.

High energy show, had an absolute blast. Cannot recommend enough!

I confess I was not a huge Michael Jackson fan but took my niece to the show. She adores MJ. From the beginning of the show it was high energy and entertaining. The performers were great. I came away with a new appreciation of the music of MJ. I will definitely look for the return of this band to Akron and recommend to my friends.

We saw the show last year at EJ Thomas Hall and enjoyed it but this year's show was even better. The band is smoking hot, the choreography was really great and it appeals to everyone; there was an incredibly diverse audience. James and the rest of the band are very entertaining. We'll be there again next year!

These guys were so good. Incredible talent all the way around. Felt the music pumping all the way down. Highly recommend.

I think they did an awesome job. I know James was tired as hell since they usually have two Michael's. The sax player Marcus Anderson was the biggest highlight of the show he was amazing and did a wonderful job in between sets.

Super Great show! Nostalgic! I recommend it for all MJ fans!

Great show. High energy and exceeded my expectations. Took teen daughter and she loved it too.

Good, overall. Wouldn't necessarily go see it again. The repeated band introductions and intermission really hurt the flow. Could have had a lot more music, if they hadn't kept introducing the band. Really slowed things down.

The show was fun. The singing was great. The dancing was close enough. The band was 70% live 30% recorded. I don't regret buying my tickets, but I would not pay to see them again. A Pet peeve: they started late AF. 3 out 5 stars.

The Aztec Theater posted the show starting at 8pm, seating at 7pm...without telling ANYONE, except the talent, they started the show at 9pm. Many families got up and left as their children were tired, they were tired of waiting. The show itself was ok. The guy who played Michael Jackson was phenominal, bless his heart, his mic went bad near the end of the show. The other dancers/band were discombobulated. It was ok for listening to the music, but that's about it.

What a nice surprise! It was a very entertaining show and really got the audience involved. My family enjoyed it and it brought back memories of Michael s #1 hits!

Recently saw "Who's Bad - the MJ Experience" at the Uptown Theatre in Napa. While the Uptown Theatre itself is a great venue, the show was absolutely horrible! In no way was it a first class production at all. The singer was fair, but his back up entourage was totally unprofessional. Only the singer had costumes and they were few and nothing noteworthy. Like something a wannabe would put together. His supporting cast were so unprofessional, just wearing street clothes and dancing all over like a bunch of morons. The entire first half of the show, the singer only sang maybe two of MJ's bigger hits, but none of his mega-hits such as Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror, Black or White, and such. For one song, he invited anyone who wanted to, to come on stage and dance. All the starry-eyed girls ran up on stage and started throwing themselves around. We did not pay to come see girls dance, or to watch a tacky "dance party". We came to hear some good MJ Music, and we really didn't hear any. There were three of us in our party. The music was so loud, we could not even hear each other speak. Music doesn't have to be loud to be good. The three of us collectively decided to leave at half time, before any of the real hits were sung. But we couldn't stand it a minute longer, this show was beyond HORRIBLE. In fact, I would call it an insult to the real Michael Jackson. A joke if you will. A total waste of time and money and a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. A total let down. Don't- Just Don't.

Very fun evenIng. This group is really talented and they gave their all to make the show fantastic. Very professional and you could imagine you were watching Michael Jackson.

I really enjoyed the venue. It brought back such good memories. In the world today everything and everyone is so cruel and noncaring and divisive. It was so cool seeing all the smiles and the unity for the cause.

This show was a blast! The talent was amazing. The performers were spot on and the band was excellent. Michael did all his own singing and his dancing was terrific!

The show was excellent. The band is very talented and the energy level was amazing.

Great selection of songs. Truly a fun night of going back to old songs I loved!

Only reason not 5 stars is sound system was insufficient and singer could not be heard until they changed mics. Otherwise, Fun! Family friendly. Ton of energy. It's a "tribute" not a copy or cover. So, be ready to participate, get outta your seat, and have fun.

My daughter loves Michael The whole group is great I will really recommend the show I drove 2 hrs and it was worth it

Michael Jackson sadly left us too early. Who's Bad is living proof. Despite a high energy effort and quite good dance moves by the Michael impersonator, the music and sound was a dense mess of deafening bass and average vocals drowned out by the horrible sound mix. The room was small, making the sound mix even worse. Too bad because the act tries hard and Jacksons hits are so recognizable that even thru the noise you can remember what it is supposed to sound like. Who's Bad? The show tries but is proof that once a "once in a lifetime performer" leaves this life you can't bring him back through imitators. Go if you are desperate. Skip the show if you want Jackson to Rest In Peace.

This was my 2nd time seeing Who's Bad, and they were phonomenal. James Times did great. Jobel was not there. But they did not leave any songs out of they're setlist. It was exiting seeing James walk out on stage. He kept the crowd into the show, as well as the amazing horn section. Overall, I recommend this concert to any MJ fan.

This was my #8 time seeing Who's Bad in 2 1/2 years time. The first seeing them with their new Michael James Times. He was a VERY good dancer! He likes to dress as Michael from the Dangerous Era(while I don't necessarily mind that, the yellow leotard is not my favorite MJ outfit)which he wears through out the show. One of the high lights of the show for me was his performance of Billie Jean. AMAZING! The moves were pretty much spot on! The other Michael in the show Jo Bell wasn't there. I felt like he was missed because he usually sings my favorite MJ song which is Dirty Diana(although James did sing a line or two from that which I appreciated). I felt the show was very good overall and full of energy. Especially from "Michael" and Aaron the saxophone player. I did miss Ray(the former trumpet player)because he would bring the energy as well. I do think James needs a bit more crowd interaction though, but I think maybe that will come with time(he's only been in it for 4 months)so that's okay,i do think if you are an MJ fan you would enjoy this show and have a good time. Plus at the end they come out and take pictures and sign things for people which is nice(you may have to wait a little bit, but they WILL eventually come back lol)I do recommend this show! LOTS of fun!

Awesome show!!! Will go again for sure. Sorry Jobell but show is better now.

Great energy in the guy who perform like Michael Jackson was amazing very enjoyable

What a blast! We danced and sang along with every song!

The show is good, the MJ that sings the slow songs needs to work on attire and turn dance moves. The other MJ was on point with the dance moves and etc.

This band represented and celebrated Michael Jackson's legacy as a one of world's greatest performers extremely well. I almost felt like I was at an actual Michael Jackson concert. I was engaged from beginning to end. It was well worth the money and would definitely recommend for anyone who is a fan of Michael Jackson to see the show.

I have been to the Who's Bad concert for the past several years and enjoy it each time I go. They get the crowd involved in their singing and it seems that everyone enjoys that. I would recommend this concert to anyone who loves Michael Jackson's music. I will go again when they come back to the House of Blues. Great show!!!!!

Honestly just skip it... There are actually 2 performers - one has the moves, and is a pretty good singer. The other just stands there, and sings, and is like a Karaoke. A lot of people did leave, and the concesus around us was it kinda stunk. The dancers were utter gargabe. Band was good. Honestly just skip this event. We walked out of it.

very average performance. production value very low. two performers one a better singer , one better dancer. first half of show songs from not quite popular albums second half better. they did get audience involved. sax player really into it. fun to watch. stage crew a bit of a distraction. overall band did a good job. go to see it for what it is don't expect to be awed. fun anyway.

Show was bad....crew membersbkept coming on stage to speak with drummer....one of the Michaels could not dance and his clothing looked like he just picked it up off the floor and put it on. Would not recommend this show for anyone......Michael Jackson would have been embarrassed by this performance.

This event was a Birthday gift and we didn't know what to expect. Turned out to be a great show, the band and performance really out did themselves. Thank you for a memorable night.

Not as great as it was the last time I saw them in Lynn MA. Band was excellent

I never got a chance to see MJ in person, but this guy and this band came close. The years of study and practice shine through in spades! An amazing show!

I did not enjoy this show at all. The lead singer did not sing the choruses of the songs, and it drove me insane that they didn't sing the best parts! Just was a huge disappointment. :-(

This show was OK, but I wouldn't go again. There are eight guys. Two - one dancer and trumpet give 110%. All others perform to a high degree. Unfortunately, "Michael" doesn't sing all that well, and can't dance. He looks like Michael - extremely thin. Voice OK, but not up to the job. Also, he was obviously worn out at times during the show. His costumes are pretty poor quality. Show did have good energy and the best part was they make a very good effort to engage the audience. I think I saw this show before when they had another "Michael"....I remember one danced quite well and one sang better. NOTE: if attending Sovereign Performing Arts Center don't waste your money ($25) on the pre-show meal. It was VERY poor. Low quality food, served barely room temperature. No butter for bread, no sugar for coffee. Pathetic.

Overall it was a good show. However, I felt that the band overpowered the lead singer. They were energetic and entertaining.

As long as you're o.k. with it not being the real thing going in, it is a great show!

Their name "Whose Bad" pretty much describes our experience. His band totally drowned out his mediocre voice. His moves did not mimic Michael's. He had no energy. Oh, yes the show was 30 min late starting with no one coming out to let us know what was going on. After a half an hour I was ready to go but we were in the middle of a very long row and I didn't want to climb over all those people. Five minutes later I looked over at my husband and noticed that the whole row to our right had left and 4 ladies in the row behind us were leaving. Yeah, we were out of there, too. What a waste of our limited "going out" money.

11 year old grandson took 61 year old grandmother & we both had a wonderful time!! The quality of the entire band was definitely a tribute to "The king of pop"

These guys are great. Both Michael's are fabulous performers and the all the band members and dancers are perfect together.

I normally don't bother with reviews but I was so upset at this performance and feel I was totally ripped off. There were 2 Michael Jackson performers. The first one was a fantastic dancer but could not sing whatsoever. The second performer could not dance whatsoever and his voice while better than the first performer was not good. The musicians were also terrible. During the first act they had audience members go on stage to dance with them. Such an unprofessional production all around. My husband and I have been to numerous shows all over the country and when I say this was terrible u am being kind in my remarks

B BAD WAS FANTASTIC. NEVER SAW M.J. IN PERSON UNTIL NOW!!!

The picture used to advertise Who's Bad wasn't anything like what we saw. The two guys that played Michael Jackson weren't anything like him. 1 of the guys was so bad that it was actually embarrassing when he was up there. The reviews on this show must have been falsified because they really got my hopes up that this was going to be a good show so i bought 5 tickets for my family and a friend and i was so embarrassed that i had dragged them all there . These two guys aren't even close to MJ and the two dancers that they had were bad as well. It was more like just going to see a band play while two guys tried to be michael jackson. Very disapointing indeed.

Not the best tribute, but it was only $20...can't expect perfection...I guess.

There are 2 wonderful MJ singers. One was an outstanding dancer with a good voice, he did the heavy dancing parts. The other person had MJ's voice exactly, he did the ballads. The band was fantastic, especially the horn section who also doubled as dancers along with the two professional dancers who were also great. It was a very professional performance.

Fun. Surprised to see mix of ages and young children who weren't around when Michael Jackson was alive. Had the time of my life

Who's Bad is amazing!! The concert is high energy and they all do a fabulous job recreating the music of Michael Jackson!!
