Circle of Sisters

We had perfect seats! The Dr. was in the house, yasssss. Avant looked sooo Darn Good! Mmmmm...he did the Damn thing! Deja and The Quake brought down the house with distracting moves and entertainment. Then.....it was time for Tamar to appear... (side-eyed) hear comes Deja with devastating news.... MY GIRL TAMAR WAS NOT HERE! WHHAAAT!? My heart fell into my lap. I got teary eyed and my husband said don't cry its gonna be ok. Then I heard the words Buuttt, Butttt, from Deja and she said she has a little taste to Christmas in the city.. when she said Jaheim !!!!! ohhhh it was on and poppin... I lost my mind.. BEATING UP MY HUSBAND... LOL SCREAMING ... OMG JAHEIM ! YESSS GOD! HE WAS JUST AWESOME! LOOKING LIKE RAY CHARLES AND SINGING LIKE MARVIN GAYE.! I WILL BE AT THE CHRISTMAS SHOW!!!! Chaka was just as beautiful as a ray of sun.. glowing and still moving like the 70's, she has not lost a Dam thing... but a little WEIGHT! (WINK!!) OVERALL IS WAS GOOD, BUT MY HEART BELONGS TO TAMAR! I AM HER #1 TAMARITIAN FAN!! ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS HER!!!!

Avant was good, forgot about some the songs he made; the WBLS hosts were awesome especially Deja Vu and Earthquake; Jaheim is always good just had some sound problems, really wanted to see Tamar Braxton but praying that she feels better soon; Chaka Khan began ok but after the first song she made a slick remark about Tamar not being there stating that "Tamar is now dancing behind bars", why all the shade towards Tamar, that really turned me off and I left the show after that (and so did some other Tamar fans) did not even stay to see the rest of Chaka's performance.

We enjoyed Avant and Jahiem. Was very very very disappointed TAMAR was a no show, a primary reason for getting 2nd row tickets for y partner. I feel and expect some kind of future compensation for her next show...Will be contacting Ticket Master for that.

I was so looking forward to going to this show only to be left highly disappointed. The only act I enjoyed was Avant. He gave a great show. They just should have extended his time to fill in for Tamar Braxton who cancelled due to illness. I was very disappointed being I paid to mainly see her. She was replaced with Jaheim who only sang about two songs but grew frustrated with the sound system. He left the stage without even a Thank You or Goodbye. I like him as an Artist but they had him sounding crazy. There was alot of time being killed with just a dj playing music and radio personalities. Everything seemed very unorganized. I left early after Chaka Kahn left the stage briefly due to being overheated. When she came back she screamed so much she gave me a headache. This show was a was a huge waste of my money and second row seats.

I was a little disappointed because I really wanted to see tamar Braxton and she was a no show. jahiem was ok,but the he had some technical issues.

I had an awesome time with my BFF seeing the Queen of Funk for the 1st time. She was classy, energetic, and man oh man, that woman sangggg!!!

Avante was great and so Was Chaka Khan. My main reason for attending the concert was to See Tamar Braxton who was sick and was a no show. WBLS thought throwing Jaheim in would satisfy fans. Not in the least. My daughter who is a huge Tamar fan didnt even know who he was. Fans need free tickets to see her in November !!! I paid great seats to see people i wouldn't usual pay to see.

Very disappointed in the event. For starters, Tamar Braxton was a "no-show". Avante who was great was rushed off the stage. Jaheim would have been wonderful but the sound system was a mess. He finally sang his latest hit a Capella and that is what saved his performance. Chaka Khan was great but I don't know why she threw shade on Tamar by asking the audience, "Where's Tamar? which she quickly answered her own question by stating, "probably somewhere dancing with the stars" or something to that affect. I had wonderful seats that would have been better appreciated if the show was as wonderful. Shaila mentioned that they would be bringing Tamar back to New York which was meaningless to me because it's not like we are going to get free tickets to make up for paying to see her and not seeing her.

Avant was great! Very disappointed in Tamar...will still attend next years circle of sisters concert....Had a great time

This wasn't my favorite. We paid to see Tamar and she was a no show! Jaheim was great but clearly sound check was an issue to the point where he went acapella. Chaka was awesome, but she always is. Overall, I wasn't impressed. Too many noticeable mishaps that should've been addressed before the curtains went up.

Since this was my first Circle of Sisters concert I was very excited however if this was any inkling of how things usually go this will be my last. The whole event seemed unorganized, the sound wasn't working properly and at the last minute we were informed that Tamar Braxton was not performing. The whole night seemed more about wbls radio personalities filling empty space (with a hint of Jaheim as a filler thrown in) rather than a good r&b concert. Last but not least Chaka Khan...they say if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. If I could've gotten a refund I certainly would've done so.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. THIS WAS THE WORST CONCERT EVER!!!! THE SOUND WAS NOT WORKING. THE SCREENS WERE NOT ON. THE VENUE SEATS ARE HORRIBLE. TAMAR BRAXTON DID NOT SHOW UP. JAHIEM WAS A LAST MINUTE REPLACEMENT AND THOUGH HE TRIED TO DELIVER A PERFORMANCE -- THE SOUND DID NOT WORK. AGAIN, THE WORST SHOW EVER. IT WILL BE A VERY LONG TIME BEFORE I PURCHASE TICKETS FOR ANY EVENT AT THE GARDEN, THEATER OR ANY OTHER VENUE ASSOCIATED WITH MADISON.

The show was great. Avant was very good though I wish he would cut down on using the "N" word in conversation to the audience. Otherwise he is underrated. He can really sing. Jaheim was a surprise though he was good. I wish Tamar would have come. The intermission with comedian Earthquake and radio personality Dela Vu was hilarious. They really brought life to the audience prior to Chaka's performance. These two had the audience in full laughter. Chaka Khan was excellent. Although at the concert I saw her in New Jersey in May of this year with Stephanie Mills, Chaka was more than excellent. She really put a hurting on those songs at that concert. The only thing about her performance at this Saturday's concert that I didn't like is the fact that she didn't sing more of her hits. We got cheated out of some of her songs she has been singing lately such as "Through the Fire", "Love Me Still", "Angel", "Papillon" and "Earth Song". Overall I give the entire show an "A".

My husband and I was on our very first trip to NYC and we were extremely thrilled to get tickets to see Chaka Tamar and Avant. To our disappointment Tamar was a no show, Jaheim tried to help save the night but he basically dropped the mic and left the stage because they couldn't get the sound to work. It was truely a disappointment. Others had already left and then we left. Pretty sad wish I could get a refund to be quite honest.

Other than avant, It was alright. I took my sister to see tamara and that went out the window. Never again will I do group concerts.

Artist Tamar Braxton did not show up,Chaka Khan was not very good.

This concert was ok but I was disappointed that Tamar Braxton wasn't there. The sound system could have been better but I liked the theatre. They should have projected the concert on the big screens that they had on the sides though. that way I could have gotten a closer look at the performers. Earthquake and Deja vu were a nice addition to the show. They made up for the Jaheim issue with his sound. wish he could have had the chance to perform more of hs songs but I understood his frustration. Avant did an excellent job. He needs his own concert

The performances were mediocre. Very dissappointed that Tamar wasn't there. It was my husband's 1st time to a concert since coming from Africa. Not good.

Overall I had a good time, the WBLS-DJ's and MC's were excellent. I really enjoyed Deja Vu and Earthquake.

Chaka Khan was okay, she didn't sing a lot of her old songs. Tamar, didn't show up. I really wanted to see her, And her replacement was off key, because the sound system kept messing up.

I purchased my ticket in hopes to see the three people on the line up that I paid for. I was more then a little upset to find that Tamar would not be in the line up for the night... What a let down. But to then be insulted with Jaheim as her back up was the biggest upset of the night. I am not a fan of his nor do I ever attend a concert that he is scheduled to perform at. I was even more upset to see how he handled his ending song... who just leaves the stage????? I'm sorry Circle of Sister but that was just a litlle on the tacky side, and for Tamar being a no show she is on my list also. Thank God for Avant and of the the Diva herself Chaka, (who threw some shade Tamar's way for not showing).

Show was disappointing!!! Tamar did not show up, so they replaced her with Jaheim. He showed up was pissed with the sound then left 10 mins into his show. They should have never brought him out, what a waste and so not professional!!! If you're going to put on a show, just sing brotha! I have to give Avant props, he sang well and gave us a performance. During the intermission and all the breaks they struggled to move forward with the event. I'm a Chaka fan but she left US disappointed. She has vocals but no stage presence. All I could say is I saw her one time, but never again. This show was so BORING!!!! Definitely not worth the money and I would have to think about attending another Circle of Sisters event. I only gave it 2 stars because Avant did well and he gave us real R&B music. They should have left him on for an hour.

It was off the hook...i can't wait until there's another event.
