Tribute Night

Although the lead singer had laryngitis and didn't quite hit the notes, the bank was phenomenal especially I ally the lead guitar......he really rocked. The lead singer made a courageous effort, but she needs to loose the back singer....she didn't do much for the act. Can't believe the rude people who demanded their money back!

Singer with larygitis. Seemingly unrehearsed band. Half the audience left at intermission. Poor acoustics. Was a waste of $50.00

Very bad. Lead singer had laryngitis. Show should have been cancelled. see my letter of Oct 19, 2014 sent to you, the promoter and the FAU Auditorium.

The lady that did carol king had a severe case of laryngitis. She had problems talking and the concert reflected it. She couldn't hit the notes and the concert seemed to drag. She appeared ill. She tried and I will give her credit for that. The concert should have been canceled. I felt like we wasted $100.00 on tickets. Was so disappointed that she didn't even sing Tapestry Also had a man sitting next to me that sang to EVERY song and he couldn't carry a tune and didn't know the words and him and his wife continually LOUDLY talked to each other

There is an old adage in show business\u2026\u2026.. The Show Must Go On . This tradition is great to have, but there has to be some exceptions. I was not expecting to either see or hear the real Carol King. I just wanted to be entertained with her music. This artist knew she had a voice issue. If you cannot get a stand-in to replace you, the show should have been canceled. It could have been a great show.

Lead singer had laryngitis and acoustics were terrible.

The singer had laryngitis which she told us after the second song, but we already knew it as she was losing her voice and could not reach some notes. Her backup musicians and singer appeared to fill in with music and extra singing--not sure. The major singer was energetic and tried her best, but often could not convey equal energy or sing Carol King as it deserved. Giving a "Fair" for her effort, but it was not able to give us the performance we deserved for our 2 seats totalling $119.00 and expecting much more

The show should have been cancelled due to the fact that the lead singer had laryngitis and could not sing well at all. It was a very disappointing performance. I would like our $96+ back.

While I felt bad that the female lead singer had laryngitis, I could not understand why this mediocre cover band did not cancel or postpone the performance. The second female singer could have stepped in, but she must have been just hired because she did not know the lyrics to the songs, and she admitted to the audience that she had never heard Carol King's hit, "You've Got a Friend," before singing with this group. The four male musicians were good, but also were not vocalists. Thus, we were left with a voiceless lead and lots of extended instrumentals. Seriously, this was the most painful concert (if you can call it that) that I have ever attended. Even if the lead singer was not ill, this band sounded like a poor wedding band or something you hear at a dive bar. Save your money.

I had high expectations for this program. Unfortunately, the singer had a bad case of laryngitis and the performance should have been rescheduled.

What could have been a beautiful tribute to a talented song writer with a huge following turned out to be a disappointment in the sound of the lead singer. Se had laryngitis and did her best to carry the show, it went downhill as she strained her voice after the early onset. The musicians were very talented and helped carry the show but the show did depend on the one woman's voice. Her backup singer was not able to carry on for both of them. I felt that the show should have been cancelled and money refunded to the ticket holders. There were many patrons that were going to get their money back, so they thought, during the intermission. The high price of the tickets should govern that the show be up to a higher standard. I think the show would have been sensational had the lead singer's voice been in top shape.

Tapestry was indeed unforgettable. The lead singer was very ill. She had a bad case of laryngitis and a cold and never should have tried to sing. Her speaking voice cracked and was not audible and her singing voice was off key at times and amounted to a lot of screeching as she tried to power through the songs. Unfortunately the band was not strong enough to pick up the pace and carry the show for her. There is no question the show should have been canceled - at least half the audience left during intermission and more continued to walk during the second act. The show just got worse and worse. I have no idea if the show would have been any good without the lead's cold but I kind of doubt it would have been fabulous. I give her a lot of credit for trying but it wasn't fair to the audience to make us suffer through such an uncomfortable evening. I mean it was really terrible.

Terrible, not worthy of presenting to any audience Anywhere. Bad sound no personality Off key consistently. Difficult to identify the Tune they were trying to play. The "tossing of hair was distracting and juvenile."

The lead singer had laryngitis so her voice wasn't very good. The sound system made it sound like she was shouting at times. There were 4 or 5 other musicians, including a female backup singer, so I would have thought some of the other musicians should have jumped in and performed some of the songs, since she was obviously having some issues with her voice. It was also disappointing that there wasn't much conversation from the performers. In the case of an artist like Carole King, whose music was performed by many other artists, they should have provided more background on some of the songs, such as when it was popular, which artist performed it, etc. I was also expecting a medley that would have included more of her music as well as some background history on Carole King herself. They did perform most of her most famous songs, but also threw in a couple obscure ones that we weren't familiar with. When we go to a show like this, we want to hear the music that we know and learn some interesting information about the artist herself as well as the group doing the actual show (where are they from, how long have they been doing this show, etc., etc.). . It looked like quite a few people left at the intermission, so I suspect others shared my opinions of this program. The lead singer never introduced the other members of the band, and overall, the performance was less polished than we were expecting.

The evening was horrible. We very rarely are able to splurge for an evening out. That's why we were looking forward to this event. The lead singer announced that she had laryngitis and her voice was lost in the terrible acoustics. We were truly miserable until we finally left. I have been trying to navigate your website to ask for a refund. Please call me.

the lead singer of this group had laryngitis. she was NOT able to sing well. the band had little push/drive, perhaps because of it. who let this show go on, and why. it was NOT fair to the audience, and the lead singer who seemed like she was most likely VERY talented (on those rare ocassions when her larynx didnt shift keys on her) could have done some serious damage to her voice. it was a VERY frustrating evening. i would love answers to my 2 questions, just dont know who to contact. i called a # on web site for company that booked them, but they did not call me back.

The lead singer had laringitis....this concert was painful.....to the audience and the ill singer as well. THis concer t should have been cancelled.....

I usually don't enjoy tribute bands as they never live up to the original act; however, Carole King's music is so wonderful that my thought was how bad could this be. Well, the pianist played very well but her singing was less than stellar. True she had laryngitis and perhaps the concert should have been canceled as she was incapable of truly singing a song well. The guitar players were good as was the drummer. The back-up singer hardly had any role to speak of and perhaps she should have tried to carry the show since the main singer couldn't sing. Regardless, I found the singer's voice, even when she wasn't losing it, to be somewhat as I said less than stellar.

Bad show. Lead had no voice and should have cancelled show. Should have gotten refunds.

Worst show I have seen in my 12 years in Florida. Lead singer could not carry a note and appeared I'll. Show should not have gone on.

this show was a disgrace. the lead singer had laryngitis, and couldn't speak or sing. the show should have been postponed and rescheduled. we left at intermission, as did many others.

The show was bad. While I understand the main singer had laryngitis, there should have been an understudy for her or the other female singer should have done the singing. I don't ever recall anything so unprofessional and I've gone to many concerts. We thought we'd give it a try again after the intermission, but we left just after it started again because it was embarrassing.

I do not think the performance was good; probably because the lead singer had laryngitis.. .I would have liked to know a little more about Carole King's life..

I was really looking forward to this show but was, unfortunately, disappointed in the performance and the venue. The lead singer had laryngitis and should not have been performing at all. I love the music of Carole King but the lead singer's voice just couldn't do it justice. It was even difficult to understand her when she spoke. The other performers were fine (although I didn't care for some of the arrangements) but the concert as a whole was a huge disappointment. Our seats were in the first row of the small back "mezzanine", just behind the entrance doors. There was a constant stream of people walking around, coming in and out. What a distraction. I later learned that, in many cases, the activity was due to people going out to the box office to try and get their money back. After the intermission we were able to move up because many people just left. The room was also uncomfortably cold! This was the first time I attended a show at FAU and don't know if I'll try again.

poor, we left as soon as we could without being rude

The show should have be rescheduled! The female singer/piano player had a problem with her voice & had a hard time speaking, never mind singing. She announced this before the concert began and asked the audience to sing along with her. She tried hard, but should have been better. Also, close to half the songs played were ones not that familiar with the audience. Carol King had many great songs from which more could have been chosen from.

the event was probably only fair because the lead singer had throat issues. maybe the event should have been rescheduled.

In spite of having a slight case of laryngitis, the lead singer was very good. The band could have used a saxaphone but did a nice job. They didn't waste much time in between songs and went right from one song to another. Very nice 2 hr set with a 20 min. break. Enjoyable night if you like Carole King and her music.

At First, It looked like a great production but when it started, It was obvious something was wrong. I could tell that the performer has a Carole King Voice BUT she was ill and couldn't perform at her best. We felt as though the show SHOULD have been canceled but that's not how it goes. We left during intermission. Overall, I would like to see TAPESTRY again under better circumstances but this particular performance was a bust

I think that the performance should have been cancelled since the lead singer was sick. The music drowned out the singers . I give this a very poor review

The lead singer had laryngitis and should have cancelled the concert. What a disappointment. The other singer was not good enough to carry the group so the vocal part of the concert was a total washout. The instrumental part was good and they should have just played some good jazz.

The show was so disappointing. The lead singer had severe laryngitis and was unable to sing. She is a good pianist but due to her illness could not sing even tho she tried. She should have let her back-up singer take over. She was excellent. I don't know what the contractual obligations are but Ticketmaster should refund the entire cost of these tickets.

Lead singer had a terrible case of laryngitis for which she apologized. Show should have been cancelled and $$ refunded or vouchers given for a future show. Left at intermission as it was "painful" to watch,
