Super Freestyle Explosion

The show started at the scheduled time 7:30 pm. and ended at almost 12. I do not stop singing and dancing. unforgettable if they return, I will see them again.

Had a great time. Old school style! Saw people from high school. only issue were the lines to buy liquor and the lines to the ladies room. Besides that had a great time.

Freestyle explosion concert is always fun! Love it

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. VOCALS WERE VERY BAD. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!

I thought it was a great show, I was only disappointed that it didn't sell better. The floor was packed but it was obvious that the stands were pretty empty. I think if this event had been marketed more, it would have done a lot better. The tickets were a great price for like a million acts who all did their biggest hits, what was not to love?! I think the acts would have been able to put on a better show had they had more of a budget, like using a band, etc. They all sounded great. I've always wanted to see Lisa Lisa and she didn't disappoint. She sounded amazing. I was surprised by how great Expose was, I really enjoyed their performance. Overall, great show for the price. Someone really needs to put some funding behind shows like this and they will do really well.

Don't get me wrong.. I love the music itself... Performances were HORRIBLE! All of them. No special effects. Waste of time and money... Just my opinion.. Ive been to ALOT of concerts... This one fits nicely at the very very bottom.

concert was amazing...we had a blast...it was so good to see that free style music is still alive and well, especially in Houston. I'm from NY, so i didn't realize that there was that much people that liked free style music.

I am so glad this event was brought together to bring back memorable moments. I just wish they could come back more often

OMG...it took me right back in time...I had soo much fun & wish I could go again right now!!!

Felt like Senior Prom, everyone dancing, reminiscing and not wanting to go home!

Overall the show was good but there was a lot of room for improvement. No one was policing the seating so we couldnt get into our seats so we were upgraded with better seats... that is until the rightful owners showed up, which I was expecting, and then again, we couldnt get into OUR rightful seats... A debate began and then we just walked off from it.... we conceded and sat in much lesser seats than what we paid for just to save the fuss. MOST of the acts were good. Expose looked very good. Nu Shooz did a good job as well. Trinere came to party and had a good time and performance, Shannon was good and did a very good job especially for her age, Lisa Lisa was great and got choked up during her set, Johnny O was pumped up and had a good time, Stevie B was OK... Debbie Deb was terrible.... She couldnt hardly speak without her voice cracking let alone sing her old tunes and she SERIOUSLY needs to get on a diet.... I fear for her life. Security at the event almost seemed an after thought though... This was definitely not a top level production event.

FREESTYLE 4-EVER ! Need to keep FREESTYLE shows coming to Houston every year ! Show was GREAT! Could have been more organized, sound checks were bad , interfered with Cynthia's performance, she had no music, she had to improvise by singing w/out music and had to leave the stage. Should have had more advertisment thru radio and billboards ,would have had a better turnout . Cant wait for the next one.

Amazing line up. Well worth the price! Loved Expose. They were amazing. Saw Debbie Deb and Johnny O for the first time. Always loved their music. Good memories.

Totally surprised that each performers had to sing along to horrible sound tracks. The speakers and set up was deplorable. Only Stevie B had a band. If the music set up was better, say like a club, it could of been successful. Expose was great. Nu shoos was a good runner up. Debbie Deb had great energy and got us revved. Cynthia was ok. Stacie Q was adorable. Johnny O needs to not try to dance like back then. Lol. Trinere was great. Lisa lisa acted like a diva but still could sing. Shannon was excellent. Her man in uniform was a nice piece of man candy. The ushers in the reliant arena were rude and racist. The seats were terrible, even paying extra for good seats. Couldn't believe they marked the rows with chalk on the concrete floor, which killed my feet.

The Event was really Good Music, Artist How ever I was disapointed that about 90% of the arena was empty of guest very sad. I dont think there was advertisement about the event going on. The only reason I found out about this event was on Radio.

Great time!!!! Really good to see these old school artist. The house was packed and they all sang there heart out as if it was something they missed.

Loved the concert! It was awesome! All the artists still got it :)

This show was off the hook. Put me in a tranze, the sound was awesome. Got my moneys worth. every seat had a great view. Drinks were EXPENSIVE. First concert I've been to and never had a drink. Beer - $15. that is Ridiculous. Main act should've came on second to last. Everybody started leaving while he was performing. Light show could've been better.

Very few artist even sang. They lip-synced to the record playing in the background. Very disappointing. Taylor Dayne was the best as she really did sing but once again to the record playing in the background. I understand with so many artist they could not have live music in the background but could of at least just had the record with instrumental playing in the background!

Sooo much fun. The songs brought me back to my middle school/high school years. Everyone sounded awesome! Great show!!!

Great show. Great crowd everyone just wanted to hear great music dance and party. I left the show a little kid again.

Lisa Lisa was the best performance and totally killed it!! There were a few other performers that did fairly well but many were hard to hear and struggled to keep the energetic atmosphere up. Stevie B ruined the last part of the show with his cocky attitude where he continued to talk about himself - in the 3rd person at that- and felt the need to act like a complete chauvinistic pig repeatedly asking the "ladies" who's going home with him... He sang 2 freestyle songs and then forced everyone to listen to him sing horrid "love" songs off his new album that were filled with about as much class a as Nikki Minaj's rap videos. It was so irritating we actually decided to leave the show early. All in all, I expected so much more for what they were charging. I was very disappointed and will not be attending another one of these shows again.

The lineup was awesome, and they did all their great songs. It was so fun to reminisce the roller rink, and middle school times. My only complaint is they turn the mic down and turn the backup music up. We were in the 230 section of the arena and it was hard to hear sometimes, and couldn't make out what they were saying.

Had a great time at the show, was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a 4 hour show with a 20 min. intermission...

THE OVERHEAD DISPLAY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON, FOR THE PRICE OF THE TICKETS WAS DISAPOINTED TO NOT SEE THE PERFORMERS ON IT

Very disappointing. Exact same show as last year and the vocals were horrible. Not worth the money. I love my Freestyle, but this was not a good one at all for me. Sorry.

This was an awesome event. We had great seats on the side and could see everyone perform with no problems. The show was very entertaining and the everyone was great. I would recommend this to anyone who loves old school.

Overall, this concert was so disappointing. The sound was horrible! Everyone was singing to tracks and over themselves. Stevie B was off time.....Johnny O seemed high.....and Debbie Deb left much to be desired! Lisa Lisa, Expose and Trinere were the only artists who performed up to par.

All in all ,everyone was looking good ,again great performances by everyone! GREAT NIGHT out for me and my girl thanks see ya next year

It was amazing and all the performers were great! All performers sounded the same.

All artists were awesome. It was a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I expected. more. I expected to really be taken back in time. The lighting was not good and I left feeling like I was waiting for the show to start. The Cover Girls were the best and Taylor Dayne is an amazing singer. Company B's outfits and wigs did not flatter them and they did not sound well. They should be pulled from the line-up. I expected neon lights and break dancers. It seemed like the singers were told "Here's a stage. Get up there and sing." I loved hearing the music but the over all show was disappointing. People got into it more during the intermission when the DJ was playing. I'm thinking this event would have been better at an outdoor venue.

We had a HELL of a great Time.we well do it again,

I thought the line up and the amount of time each performer was on stage was perfect.

Took me back to high school! Awesome performance by all. This needs to happen more often. Please come back were ready for 2016.

The show was so Awesome the Artist there sets were incredible.

Every performance was awesome, the only thing that I didn't like was that Stevie B still had at least 3 more hits that he didn't play. 1. I'll be loving you all my life 2.Diamond Girl 3. When I dream about you That's where I felt me and a few fans were cheated out of our money, plus what I think was that Stevie B was playing a love song one after another and the crowd started to leave. I think that was what upset him and he called it a night, I really hope that he comes back because he is a great artist and as long as he comes back I will be at all of his shows.

Hubby and I decide to attend on a whim... Great seats were available so why not! We had a great time. I'm glad the acts got progressively better. Can't wait to see next year's line up.

This was the best concert I've been to, I went there with my husband and we had a Blast! The artists were great, the vibe of the whole arena was great and I can't wait to do it again!!

Going to start off by saying, the show and venue did not meet my expectations, regretfully disappointed, especially for a first timer. Starting with the usher guiding us to our seats, she directed us to the row behind our actual row and told us we had to jump down to our seats because all the seats leading to ours were occupied and would be difficult to pass through. First of all, we are older unfit people, so "jumping over seats" was not only embarrassing but physically challenging. When we got to our seats, it would have been alot easier to come in on the other side, our seats were 3 away from the end. Since we were not familiar with the seating the usher should have directed us to go in through the other end of the row. The seats are very small, even the average size person sitting next to me was uncomfortable. There were people smoking cigarettes and weed during the show and no one on staff addressed it. The band Company B was HORRIBLE!!!! People were laughing at their attempt in signing and their attempt of dancing was as if they put the routine together 5 minutes before the show began. Taylor Dane was off on her lip syncing, but watching her in front of the fan was entertaining. All the other entertainers were great, Debbie Deb can still sing, loved her average back up dancers. Lil Suzy, was great and sharing she is Mama Suzy was adorable. Stevie B was great and singing one of his new songs was a definite hit! All the other bands knocked it out of the park! There were a few no shows, which was disappointing as well. I got my fix for life and do not intend to waste money on this tour or this venue again.

You need to set up screens. You couldn't even see the acts from sec 200.

I love the show but I think the arena could of but a screen so we could have seen it better. I went to the one at Mohegan sun and it was so awesome. My family and I did have a good time and we will go again.

Great show; first where I saw both the Cover Girls and Expose.

Wear comfortable shoes because you will be on your feet dancing all night. They all sound great and they really know how to get you moving. Lisa Lisa sounds amazing and sings all the great songs. Stevie B's voice hasn't changed a bit and he really engages the audience. Expose, Covergirls, New Shuz were so entertaining! Debbie Deb was probably should hang up her mic....bad. Had a fabulous time!

I loved most of the acts. Some of them just shouldn't be singing anymore like Debbie Deb. She was totally off key and had the crowd do most of the singing for her. It was awful and I used to really like "When I hear music". The only artist to have a band was Stevie B. The rest sang over a backtrack. Although Lisa Lisa was awesome, even singing over a backtrack. Her back up dancers were amazing! I hated the emcee who said the same things over and over again in between each act. It was so annoying. And he segregated the crowd every time. For example" "where are all the latinos, where are the italians, where are the caucasians?" It was extremely annoying!

Everyone was on their game! Expose, Lisa Lisa, and Stevie B were great! Stevie is AWESOMUNDO!

It was one of my favorite concert over all. I went last year to Freestyle Explosion in Orlando, Fl and the sound system was terrible and totally unorganized. I hope next year we get to enjoy Amalie Arena again. Expose was tight, Stevie B stole the show and let's not forget Lisa Lisa can't hardly wait for next year to come any sooner........

This show was amazing. I have not seen Lisa Lisa since 1987, it was great to see her again long with Expose to put on a great show.. Thank You and hope to see you soon!!!

We drove from Houston to San Antonio just for the concert... and believe me it was well worth it. The venue is outstanding and the sound is superb. All the artist were great, took us back to our teenage years. Trinere and Stevie B were amazing....debbie debb had everyone dancing with lookout weekend. we had such an awesome time... only wish they had more concerts with this music genre more often. thanks to all the artist for such a wonderful time!!!

The seats were great and the show did not disappoint. Great concert!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first Freestyle Explosion concert & it was unforgettable! I had a BLAST!!! I'd honestly would love to see them all next year again. I'm an 90s baby & I just love the artists & their music. This is the kinda music I grew up to with my parents they love it as well. I took home a souvenir a freestyle explosion t shirt I love it. Hope to see you next year!!!

I should have gone to karaoke; the acoustics would have been better. I honestly didn't realize that going to an 80's concert meant that the sound equipment would be from the 80's too. We only made it through the first hour before we left to save my hearing. There was no band, although there was equipment set up. Noel's cd skipped through his entire performance. Stacy Q sounded terrible. The Jets left a lot to be desired. A serious waste of money!!

I would have to say that I am a Huge fan of Old School. This concert was one of the Best that I have ever been to! I would definitely recommend this concert to anyone who Loves Music when it was just that...MUSIC! The showmanship of people on stage after all these years was the best!

Each performance was great,I would love another show like that to come around to El paso again. Great performance!

Love it all the singers were great. The atmosphere was awesome being with our friends and singing to our old school freestyle music. Great concert. Cant wait for next year!

Overall this was a great show. From the opener Lil Suzy all the way to Stevie B, the artists gave it their all and put on a great show. There was some sound problems with Lisa Lisa and Taylor Daynes's Mic would not work, but after the problems were corrected, the sound was great. I have never been a big fan of this style of music but after seeing the artists live I would say that a new fan was made!

Not much to say except it was great! Wasn't surprised because we always have fun.

The sound was great. The stage looked excellent. The artists were the best.

My wife and I really enjoyed the numerous acts that performed at the Freestyle Explosion. It was unnerving to see that the sound crew and equipment wasn't up to par for these acts that have been around for over 30 years. Taylor Dayne really recovered well from numerous microphone replacements at the beginning of her coming on stage. I am really amazed that the performers kept going for the people. I was really impressed with their professionalism. The VIP Package wasn't all that great. Yeah, you got autographed photos and a cd with the tracks that were performed. But, you received this all in a plastic bag. You didn't get a chance to have the artists personalise the signatures. It was all generic.

I had a wonderful time at this concert. Everyone was great. My favs were freestyle and JJ Jad but everyone was great.

Great list of artists! I think 10 was too many but I truly enjoyed this night taking me back to college and high school years!! My kids even enjoyed it. They are 7 and 15!

Taylor Dayne should have closed the show. Stevie B is so full of himself and boring that we left after his first couple songs....just like last year. He's also very unprofessional; he made a rude comment about Lisa Lisa boring the audience. He needs replaced. But other than him the line up was great...fun night.

This is my second freestyle concert and it was great...

Show was really great in the second half due to how the artists popularity from the 80 brought back some great memories.

Great throwback!! memories from the 80's. Loved all 11 acts!

This was my first freestlye Concert. Never really thought that I would actually go to one. I couldn't believe we were there. It felt unreal. It was great, the performances and music was so memorable. It took us back, way back in time. I would recommend this concert to any person loving Freestyle music . It was definitely a great experience.

This show was a lot of fun. Lots of great music and it was practically non-stop from 7:30 until midnight. The only break as a 20 minute intermission before Lisa Lisa and Stevie B closed the show. The pace kept the show moving nicely. For the most part, the acts exceeded my expectations when it came to the vocals. Don't judge them by how they sound on cell phone videos posted on you tube. If you like this kind of music you will definitely enjoy the show. The staff at the Amalie arena was extremely helpful, professional and friendly. My only complaint about the venue would be the extreme price gouging on drinks. I attend a lot of events at other venues so I'm used to being ripped off on drink prices but this place goes above and beyond. A 24 ounce can of Corona costs 15.50 and a mixed drink that was mostly coke cost 19.50! Needless to say , we only bought one drink each. Parking is convenient but also a bit pricey at 15.00. Compare this to the mid florida amphitheater where parking is free.

Great experience; most of the performances were outstanding

So much fun! Such a great experience & the performers did such an amazing job. Def would go back next year!

The Concert was pure Nostalgia in every sense of the word and was beyond Fantastic! It was Fun and took me back to the Time that I particularly enjoyed the most in this Life!

A great show some still have it some well lets just say they turn up the base lol. Taylor Dane is amazing just like Stevie B.brings the house down with his energy. Nice to see Cover girls and Cynthia. Johnny O crazy act but cant understand the words. Slowly over years voice is going. Lisa Lisa sounded great and also JJfad and Freestyle crew. Don't miss this show and pace yourself as it's 4 1/2 hours long easy lol. I hope they bring TKA and Coro and George Lamont next time. That would be awesome.

This concert was amazing. My sister and I had a blast. Would definitely go again.

Amazing, miss this music, great performers, great ongs

Great performances from everyone!!!! This concert is Highly Recommended

Overall, freestyle concert was good. It brought back memories from childhood. During most of the songs, the music was so loud you could not hear the singers. Overall, experience at the Arena was horrible. Would not recommend that arena for a dance concert.

i have seen this event a few times at different locations. Agganis Arena very nice. The show over all was very good. Saw them about ten years ago and it was better. but for how long they have been doing it can't complain but they aren't as good as they use to be. probably the last time i go see them. that being said i did have a blast!

Like a high school reunion, some people hold up well and others you wonder what happened to them? The same can be true for the Super Freestyle Explosion. At times it was a bit of a hot mess with muffled backing tracks that the bands probably use for small club venues that did not translate to an arena or choreography that was clumsy or not tight but with short sets that just included the hits, it didn't really matter when those old school songs came on with the memories attached to them. The acts looked grateful and as if they were having as much fun as the audience as we all relived the old days for a night. The line up varies from city to city but in ours Lisa Lisa, The Original Cover Girls, Expose, Stevie B. and Nu Schooz provided solid sets that showed they still deserve to be on stage. JJ Fad made the most of their one notable hit "Supersonic". I wish this had been later in the summer in an outdoor venue and I might have swapped out some acts Debbie Deb, Trinere ( good, but I just wasn't familiar with her at all) with others who appear in other cities. But the 80's Oldies audience is under served and would love to see more packages like this.

Had a blast will do it again anyday freestyle is my favorite music im an 80's baby

Fantastic music. Made me feel 20 again. Brought back so many great moments from the 80's and 90's. Hope they come back next year. Will definitely go see them again. AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!!

The sound was bad and unorganized. Everyone was everywhere. The artist did not seem prepared. It was put together cheap. The only ones that had it together were Exposé

this was such an awesome concert. it brought back so many memories. i would love to see them again.

Didn't like seeing the stage so empty and the promoters barely hyping up the crowd. I was disappointed, comparing it to the other freestyle concerts I've been to, but always a pleasure to be taken back in time with the music.

Had an amazing time! Doors opened on time, concert started right in time. Wasn't waiting 5 hours to see the final performer. Al the performers jammed out. I even stayed in the same hotel as most of the performers and I got to say they were so kind, friendly and even posed for a picture. HAD AN AWESOME TIME!!

It was OK, the quality of the sound was not the best. The place was a bit warm. Stage was very plain. The artists did an OK job, some were better than others.

So much fun!!! We did not want the night to end! Everyone was great!

The acoustics in the venue were not good, if the bar staff went any slower they'd be moving backwards and the bathrooms left me disgusted.

great concert. looking forward to it next year and planning on sitting in the same area.

We had an awesome time. This event took me back many years.

Such a good time the music live forever!! I would go back next year to see again! Such a great crowd of people and the vibe was awesome!!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!! would love to go again. great energy!

The show was good.. I didn't like that the stage was set up so simple. The performances were short and to the point. The host of the show were funny.. Power 96 made it funny and entertaining.

I was awesome i really like it . there where more people that didn't come i was expecting more arctics

What a great concert! 4 hours of Old School music. Felt like I was back in the "club" 20 something years ago. Trinere is still as good as I remember at Six Flags Atlantis! Power 96 did a great job putting this together. Debbie Deb... look out weekend cuz here we come. Just loved every act that came on stage.

The first few acts seemed to lack energy. It felt karaoke-like. The performers had background music and just sang into a microphone. Didn't feel the.music until second half of concert. With lights, smoke, bass, and live band...what a difference! All the artists were incredible but the energy was lacking in first half.

I had a great time but they need to change it up always the same songs

All of the artists made really good performances! Stevie B was really awesome, he is a real entertainer and his voice is practically the same as in the 80's! The only downside of the show was that there wasn't enough room between the seat rows if you wanted to stand up and dance, which happened quite often, since it's a freestyle show!

Definitely took me waaaaayyyy back. I will go again next year. I'm hoping more male artist would be involved. LOVE IT.

Good show but Steve b was promoting his cd to much. Should of sang more songs instead of promoting his cd

i simply enjoyed every single one. They all had high energy performances and the crowd was loving it. I will go again!

The show to date was one of the best freestyle shows. Would have loved to see George Lamond, Johnny O & France Joli. Other than that it was great. Stevie B was amazing best part of the show.
