Vanessa Williams

She is more beautiful in person . Her spirit comes through and she draws you in with her talent and charm.

An absolutely unbelievable performance. She is the bomb!

Too much chat and a few lirics, is not a concert is a interview with sing a litlles songs

This was was first time I'd seen Vanessa Williams perform and I was thrilled. Everything from her carefully selected musical selections to her lyrical chords and commanding stage presence gave me every dime of my money's worth. At the end of it all I was completely satiated. I would definitely pay to see her again. Loose Ends did not disappoint, but I believe they should take another look at their song selections. For a band that hasn't put out new music in over 20 years, they should stick to what people know. Also, the hype man is so unnecessary to their performance. In fact, he was a major distraction and interference. They are a talented R&B band; they should trust in their own sound and abilities and lose the gimmick. Both Huggie and Gary Owens rocked the house. I had a great time.

Tom is great. He help all to have fun and get away from their home town. I always go to Tom events. I always enjoy the events.

I enjoyed Vanessa. She bought class an sophistication to the show but I wished that she would have put in an entire dance routine with at least one dress change. I wish she would have goven us a little more of her talent for dancing. Loose Ends was good but I really didn't know who they were until they sang the two songs towards the end that they are known for. I'd give Vanessa 4 stars and Loose Ends 3 stars.

Vanessa is a great performer. I was actually able to see the show without people standing in front of me. I wonder why??

Vanessa sounded amazing. I wish she would have done breathless

Performance was excellent -- she was very energetic and very engaging.

It was a great performance. The performer did a good job and the facility was just right.

I really enjoyed the concert, however I felt there was too much "chit-chat". I came there to hear Vanessa sing. While to conversations between her and the piano player were interesting, they tended to over-shadow the performance. I love Vanessa Williams and her music and would have liked more of that.

Vanessa was amazing. Seth was a show in himself....What a treat he was. What a talented guy.. Had no idea who he was. I know him and love him now!! The chemistry between Seth and Vanessa was awesome. He asked the questions and she told it like it was! Seen a side of Vanessa that was inspiring and genuine! I was in awe of her talent and her perseverance..

Vanessa was simply amazing. The show was approximately two hours long where she would sing a song then be interviewed and talk about her lfe and then go on to the next song. The host did a phenomenal job being witty and knowledgeable about her and the industry. So why only 4 stars? Because the series focused mostly on Boroadway tunes and, before say 'well this WAS the Broadway Concert Series', she should've incorporated more of her renowned tunes. She did sing two (The Sweetest Days and Save the Best for Last) but so many others were missing (Betcha Never, How the tears go by, Work to do, Still in love, Dreamin, The Right Stuff, Running back to you...). Now mind you this concert was still 50 times better than most other divas as she sang only with a piano and hit each and every note so if you ever want to say a true artist, don't miss out on Vanessa Williams. It'll be worth every cent!

Vanessa was totally sublime! The interview portion was very honest, candid and VERY real! She was charming, witty, funny, and her songstress delivery was top notch, absolute perfection! If she does more of these chat and sing type shows with Seth, don't hesitate. The Parker Playhouse was the perfect type venue for this format; fairly small, beautiful and intimate!

Vanessa Williams blew us away at her concert at Parker Playhouse. She is incredibly talented, down to earth, and funny.

This was terrific-both Vanessa and Seth are so talented. We thoroughly enjoyed the Show!!!

Vanessa looked and sounded as good as ever. I was expecting an all singing concert but seeing this talk show with music mixed in was awesome. I learned so much about Ms Williams and the industry that I did not know. I wish she would put out some more music and would not mind seeing her on TV again.

HATED the format of the concert. Was looking forward to an evening of SINGING. $150 for great seats but the concert was basically a sit down interview for 90 mins with about 8 (mostly) show songs if that many. She is still a favorite of mine and a beautiful woman!

Vanessa Williams is always Flawless in every way. Having this be a song & interview mixture was fantastic\u203c️I felt like I spent 2 hours with Vanessa as a close personal friend rather than just someone at a concert.

what a great concert. every song was on point and I really enjoyed her stories about her life and where she is now. this is the first concert that I stayed for every last song.

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Vanessa Williams has a wonderful voice and connect with the audience. She's a marvelous entertainer accompanied by very talented musicians and vocalist. The venue seating puts you very close to the stage -- we had a wonderful time.

Vanessa Williams delivered on her promise to have fun and sing through a catalog of her hits that entertained and amused the crowd. The concert was a great opportunity to reacquaint with a talented singer and performer who is more recently known for her acting roles.

The concert was very good. Vanessa sounds great live. The location of the seats were good but the chairs themselves were uncomfortable and a bit tight.

Vanessa sounded just as good as she always has, and is someone I've wanted to see for quite a while. She's personable and pleasant to look at. She mentioned some trials from her past, but should not be judged by this in a decision to see her perform. If you want to go see a fine performance by someone who has a great voice, go see her. You will not be disappointed.

Vanessa Williams and Peobo Bryson were great ,I would definitely see them again and next time would bring all my friends . I surely had a wonderful time.

I TOTALLY enjoyed this concert from beginning to end.

Peabo Bryson was first act. It was almost awful . He didn't do one song that was memorial . He talked too much and really had nothing to say. He had too long of a time on stage. Vanessa Williams is beautiful and did sing a few songs that made you cry. I had seen her the beginning of the year , and for now have had my Vanessa fill.

Peabo Bryson connects with the audience and My husband and I enoyed every moment. I'm glad he performed first. I left halfway through Vanessa's performance. It was obvious she was acting, she didn't look at or connect with the audience. Vanessa should have sung a duet with Peabo and not appeared as a headliner.

this was the best concert that I've been to in many years

Vanessa was a pure delight. I was expecting a full 2 hour show from her, but what we got was much more than we expected. I was disappointed that she did not sing "The Right Stuff, Runnin' Back To You, and Oh How The Years Go By. Seeing her live was still fantastic!! She sang some Broadway standards as well as her Top hits Love Is, Colors Of The Wind, The Comfort Zone and Save The Best for Last. I would recommend seeing her live. Her voice has stood the test of time!!

GR Symphony was outstanding as usual. A very unique and impressive program. Vanessa Williams was AMAZING!! She performed all her big hits, many standards, and some more obscure pieces. All of them were stellar. She sounds better than she did 20 years ago!

Absolutely exquisite event including the Grand Rapids Symphony orchestra as well as the singers that performed prior to Vanessa Williams on stage. Vanessa Williams was absolutely wonderful...such a talented artist! She gave an excellent performance which was well worth the ticket price!

This is a tough review. Vanessa Williams was a 5 star show. What I did not know going into the show that their was going to be an hour of other performances that were just boring. It would have been nice to know this before hand. Once they were done, there was an almost 40 minute intermission as they reset the stage. As for Vanessa, fantastic show! Top notch, great singer, would see HER again in a heartbeat.

Vanessa Williams performance was stunningly remarkable. Her voice is just as beautiful now as it was during her reign, albeit short as Miss America. Thank you for coming to Grand Rapids and gracing us with your presence. You are the Lena Horne of today!

A very special night of music from the Symphony to the Mosaic group to the choir directed by the wonderful Duane Davis. I have always loved Vanessa Williams and it was wonderful seeing and hearing her in person. Her band was so talented too. She did not disappoint.

I could ramble on forever about Vanessa's concert, and with this being my fourth time seeing her live, she was amazing. She never disappoints! Her voice, dancing, band and backup singers, her warmth and banter all bring together an amazing show. I left in awe of her many talents, her diverse and successful career, and her beauty. And to top it off, the venue was beautiful and the crowd loved her! It was a great night from start to finish. (She was well worth the 405 traffic! ;))

Vanessa Williams rarely performs so I was willing to make the 60 mile trek from Orange County to Northridge and fought 2 1/2 hours of LA traffic to see her. Her performance was great. She sang her pop & R&B ballad hits (Dreaming', Save The Best For Last, The Sweetest Day, Oh How the Years Go By, Oscar-winning Colors of the Wind), mid- and uptempo hits (Work To Do, Comfort Zone), Latin jazz (The Real Thing), remakes (Natalie Cole's Everlasting Love), standards, blues, selections from her Broadway performances and her closing salsa song (and sowing off her amazing legs as she dances across the stage). Her band was top notch, including her piano player who killed it duetting with her on Love Is (I even liked his voice better than Brian McKnight's) and two fantastic female back-up singers who were rightly given solo spotlights. Vanessa' performance was 90+ minutes and included three dress changes, including her sexy metallic short dress she wore during her encore. She was warm, friendly and funny in speaking to the audience through her show. A class act and veteran performer, I am reminded what a great voice she has. My only disappointments were the omissions of my two favorites, her huge hits Running Back To You (which hit #1 R+B) and her breakthrough The Right Stuff (#1 Dance). All and all I was thrilled to see this talented woman.

Her voice and talent are amazing! She put on a very diverse performance which covered her music as well as her Broadway acting. My only disappointment was that she didn't really connect personally with the audience. The performance was great, just couldn't "feel" it. I love a soul stirring show that you can feel in your bones. This one was lacking in that area, but that said, I would still pay to see her again.

I have followed Vanessa Williams career since the 80s and think she is phenomenal as an actress. Seeing her perform her music in person for the first time was a way to kick off my new year. She is stunning as always and her voice is flawless. What a talent she is! Her backup singers and band complement her so well. I would pay to see her again. Her music is filled with a lot of emotion and passion. She made me cry and dance all at the same time. As a mother and a performer she inspires me...You go Vanessa! You GOT IT!

Amazing concert. Vanessa Williams (and company) put together a terrific set full of variety -- pop, standards, musical theater. Williams is a performer of great range, who connected with the audience in fun and moving ways through her stories. Love that both of her backup singers got a chance to shine too. Perfect concert length -- not too long, not too short. This is the first time I've seen Williams live, and I definitely hope to have the chance to do so again. Also, the Valley Performing Arts Center is a beautiful venue. I look forward to seeing more concerts there.

Vanessa Williams is incredibly talented and I would definitely go to see her again! It was a great show.

Wow, wow and wow. This lady is arguably the most beautiful triple threat on the planet! I had front row seats and enjoyed every incredible note, while gazing at her beauty!

Saw her live in Detroit. Great list of songs, voice is as good as ever, and great band and back up singers.

Love, love, love her! She was absolutely charming and engaging. Would definitely buy another ticket and see her performance again!

I went to this concert only because my wife is a big fan of Vanessa Williams. I have to admit I was very surprised! The lady and her band are GREAT! I like rock and roll but this concert was a great time. Vanessa is a powerhouse on stage. Her band is top notch and her backup singers were excellent. We will be catching her show the next time she's in town!

The seating was great and I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. She was great with dialogue and very crowd interacting. Her voice is still like I remember it over thirty years ago. The band was outstanding and the back up singers solo was a thing of beauty. this was a concert of a lifetime and anyone who didn't go lost an opportunity.

This was a great show. Band and backup singers were fantastic. Vanessa is absolutely incredible and the show was wonderful. Loved every minute of it. She is very engaged with the audience throughout the show. I want to see it again and again and again.

Amazing voice and stage presence. Even brought us a bit of Broadway. I will see her again.

I really enjoyed the show and the performances of her back up singers. She is a great entertainer.

She was spectacular in person! Unbelievable talent and professionalism. I would have paid more than what I paid to see her. Her voice was impeccable, her back up singers were great and her band was perfect also. I enjoyed seeing her sing in front of an orchestra also.

Thanks to the Rapides Parish Symphony Orchestra for bringing Vanessa and her band to Alexandria Louisiana. It was a fabulous concert! She has a great voice and sang all the favorites. Mixed it up with some Broadway and funky tunes as well. Her drummer, guitarist, and keyboard players were first rate! All around outstanding show!

Vanessa Williams' performance with the Rapides Symphony Orchestra was perfect and amazing. My husband and I really enjoyed the show.

Vanessa was great so was her group that travel's with her. The Alexandria sympathy orchestra put on a good show too. The only problem is that there was not enough people there.

While I cannot say that the style of music Mrs. Williams performs is the style to which I normally turn for entertainment, she is a wonderful performer with a great voice and wonderful on stage presence, Her band is also excellent. We enjoyed the show very much and the Rapides Symphony Orchestra really filled out the music in grand fashion. All in all I am glad we went and would attend again. Well worth the money. Ms. Williams is a consumate professional and her performance shows it!!

Vanessa Williams looked beautiful, her performance was awesome, and she even shared stories about her career path and family! She is a classic beauty and an excellent performer! You will thoroughly enjoy her performance!!!

How can anyone describe this exceptional lady, of noteworthy talent? With impressive accolades, she regenerates yearly, using notable commonsense. Pleased, as I gazed upon her timeless beauty, impeccable voice, charismatic stage presentation, excitedly travelling throughout her career. Vanessa Williams is a magnificent singer, constantly maintaining superiority during her stage presentation. I would encourage all attend her concert when given the opportunity to see her performance.

I am an old school Vanessa fan! She did a little bit of everything. Her 'vintage' music, jazz and R&B standards, and Broadway tunes!! She looks great, sounds great and her band is fantastic. It was a fun night!

I've seen Vanessa Williams perform over 10 years ago and her voice and performance was flawless. Her background singers were also just as amazing.

I really enjoyed ms.vanessa. We drove 3hours just to see her.

Vanessa Williams is an outstanding performer, and I thoroughly enjoyed her concert. Her band is filled with excellent musicians, from her versatile pianist to her back-up singers. She also showed that she still has the dance moves she displayed in the film "Dance With Me." Her voice is lovely, and she still has the tremendous beauty and charm that made her Miss America.

Awesome show she even put some comedy into it. Songs were perfect. Just wish it was longer.

Rarely do I give five stars but Vanessa Williams deserves it! I was so happy to learn that one of her rare performances would be in my area, and she did not disappoint! The only minor criticism was that the show started almost an hour late. But once she took the stage, all was forgiven, as she put on an incredible performances, singing most of her classics from the 90s. I forgot how much I loved her! If she is performing in your area, you should understand that she doesn't perform as often as other artists, and you should seriously consider going! If you're someone who grew up in the 90s, seeing her standing there will feel kind of surreal, like a piece of the good old days coming back for a visit!

Amazing performance by this superstar!!!! Vanessa Williams was absolutely gorgeous!!!

She was absolutely amazing! My husband loves her!!

My husband and I absolutely loved this show. She takes you on a history of her career in music, theatre and film singing her favorite hits. She has a beautiful voice and wonderfully articulates what was happening in her life and career at the time the music was made. Awesome show not to be missed!

Great performance! Complete entertainment! No flaws!

Her voice is as strong as ever. She was very personal and down to earth. Great show and singing. I hope she comes back to Detroit

It was a beautiful event sponsored by Goodwill for their "Flip the Script" program teaching ex-felons a trade to become productive members of society.

Enjoyed the format of Vanessa singing along with interview. Didn't like interviewer Seth, felt his questions were too prepared and more like a book discussion. Didn't seem spontaneous. I was very surprised by Vanessa's performance she was terrific. Lastly I really like going to Parker playhouse so we'll run and every seat is a good seat

She is stunning! And, it was so nice to see her so casual and conversational. She is humble, yet so gifted. Seth was a fantastic moderator- he had her relaxed and light. The venue was intimate too.
