Alexander O'Neal

Very up close and personal. Still sounds decent. Good show!

Well the surprise was Surface being an opener and they were great. The show started very late and the sound sucked for Cherelle and Alex. It kept going out. And man has time and whatever else done a number on Alex. Thank God he has the hits because he was hard to watch.

I have been waiting to see Alexander Oneal for a long time. I see that he tours in the UK a lot and I was really surprised to see he was coming to NY. He sounded exceptionally good. He sang all of his top hits and a few newer ones as well. The last song of the evening (Fake) brought him down into the audience and we all got to see him up close. It was a really fun night. Alex was in good spirits and we all really enjoyed seeing him. The venue was good. The tab was a bit high for 2 people who only had drinks and apps..but it is NYC and you have expect that. I would definitely go to BB Kings again and I recommend seeing Alexander Oneal if you can. His was great.

ALEX ROCKED IT ...HE WAS WARM AND FRIENDLY AND FUNNY AS WELL. HE PERFORMED GREAT AND HIS VOICE IS STILL TOP NOTCH..HE DID ONLY PERFORM FOR 1 HOUR..SO I DIDNT HEAR ALL OF THE SONGS I WANTED...OTHERWISE IT WAS A GREAT SHOW.

I'm not sure it he was tired or upset with the band but I wasn't impress with Alexander ONeal's performance. He did not sing all of songs including "Never Knew Love like this" He worked the crowd into a frenzy promising to sing his hits but then quit after singing Fake. He came back for one more song, Criticize but then said his goodbyes. He also had a very peculiar waldrobe malfunction. All in all, not worth the money. The service at Howard theatre was slow as well which made the show even less enjoyable.

I was too excited to finally see Alexander O'Neal. His opening song was my all time favorite from him, "Sunshine!!" But he only sang five songs. Felt cheated. There should have been enough energy from the crowd to do more. However, the photo op after the show made up for the lack of songs!!!

I saw Alexander O'Neal at the Baldwn Hills Plaza and it was a "free" concert. He still sounds amazing. His collection of ballads is timeless. He was running around on stage and through the crowd. The ladies were running after him. I am so happy to see him back and doing well. We partied, the crowd was great, and Balwin Hills Plaza knows how to throw a party. The radio station KJLH was there. Set up a tour Alexander, I can't wait to see you again!

Finally, after being his #1 fan for years, I got to see him live and he did not disappoint. He and his awesome band rocked the Howard. The crowd bopped and jammed the entire show. I want to see him again. A well managed and planned show. He bantered with the audience a bit in between songs then sang his hits and sounded great. He had some audience members duet with him on Saturday Love and that was fun. I really loved how he connected with his fans by walking through the audience while singing Fake! Did I say I want to go see him again. I found recent music by him on the internet and have been jamming to "new" Alexander O'Neal for a week. Come back to DC Alex Baby! You are a class act.

We saw Alex at BB Kings club on May 8th 2013. I almost didn't get tickets because of the previous reviews that were so bad. But I guess Alex learned his lesson and didn't have Cherrelle perform with him this time. We arrived to a super packed house. The crowd was mixed with all races and ages. Alex started the show on time and gave us an 1 hour and 30 minutes of jamming! He was spectacular! We could see that he was now older and some weight gain, but that didn't stop him from bringing the house down! His voice was strong (just like his records) and he danced the night away and so did we! He sung all of his greatest hits and engaged with the audience like we were old friends. His band and back up singers were great too! What's even more unbelievable is that my husband wasn't a fan of Alex at all even though he had heard of him. But now he's a fan too. A week later he's walking around the house still humming his songs! When you go to a great concert it's something that you always will remember and Alex is one of those great memories that fits the bill. I wouldn't hesitate to see him again!

Alex sang and danced in the audience. Howard Theatre. We enjoyed the show.

I enjoyed the show immensely. I danced in my seat the whole time. Alex still has it. He has so many songs that he could not sing them all. I wanted him to sing "A broken heart can mend". He did not do Innocent either. He really rocked the place. I just loved the show.

Need updated pic..look more like an entertainer..music ok..lost appeal.

Alexander O'Neal was entertaining and sounded great!

Had a great time. Woke up the next morning with the songs playing in my head. a good, fun night. I just love his voice.

Alexander O'neil was great and Angela Winbush was wonderful. I would not spend another dime to see Cherrelle. She talked about her feet and talked the entire concert. I didn't pay to hear her talk, I paid to hear her sing. Never again will I spend another dime to see Cherrelle, especially if she is anywhere in the line up. Me

Terrible line up other than Angela Winbush! We should have gotten our money back for sitting thru Cherelle!

He and Angela Winbush were awesome and I would love to see again.

Alexander O'neil and Angela Winbush nailed it. I enjoyed their performances. However, Cherrelle's performace was horrible. And she was allowed to spend too much time on the stage which took away from more time of hearing Angela Winbush or Alexander O'neil. I loved hearing Alex sing his ballads but it would have been great to hear him sing his fast hits (Fake, Innocent, Criticize, What's missing). Again, this could have been done if Cherrelle had been escorted alot sooner than she was. Otherwise, I still enjoyed the concert very much---Thanks to Angela Winbush and Alexander O'neil. Cherrelle was ok when she sung her OWN material.

This was a very poor show. Angela Winbush did not have a band to accompany her. However, did do a yeoman's job with one. Alexander O"Neal carried the show as best he could. He just did not have enough to offer to cover up for the terrible performance of lack of a performance given by Cherrelle. She was drunk and tried to talk her way through the concert. She came home Detroit and completely embarrased herself, her community and woman in general. She should be banded from ever performing again!

Cherrelle had hard Time performing for some reason! Angela Winbush was good as ever and Alexander was also good.

Cherelle was drunk or high on something. Her voice was terrible, and she got booed at the end. She sounded like a cat being beat with a bat. I always wanted to see her and i was very disappointed, everybody was. Alexander Oneal was okay They rushed Angela Winbush off the stage, big mistake

Alex was good. Angela was amazing should head line and cherell need to work on vocals

Horrible concert except for Angela Winbush. She was outstanding. Cherrell should never ever sing again.

Angela was AWSOME shoul of stayed on longer, Cherelle should of came on first. Alex was great but Cherelle should of syayed at home , she sounded TERRIBLE.

The concert would have received 5 stars BUT what the heck was up with Ms. Cherelle? Angela Winbush was fierce, danced, sang her heart out all at the age of 57 and a three times cancer survivor. Alex Oneal sung his heart out and really rocked the crowd. Cherelle sang only 2 1/2 of her own songs, sang a bit of Beyonce ??? and then bursted out crying over Whitney while she tried and FAILED to perform I will always love you. I miss Whitney too but darn, we paid money to hear singing not a therapy session. She was actually booed off stage. If she comes back I will not attend, unless SHE is the opening act. Angela Winbush was robbed. She could have sang to me all night and she has more hits than the both of them combined.

angela winbush opened the show and was very good. next, cherrelle sang poorly. alexander o'neal was good

DONT GO! I love Alexander O'neal & Cherelle songs.. However, the concert was overall Just bad.. The voices are gone an age has gotten to them both!!

My wife and I were looking forward to seeing Alexander O'Neal with Cherrelle in concert as we both love their old school music. The show got off to an excellent start by the opening act (Angela Winbush) she performed her butt off and put on a great show. Angela was followed by Cherrelle and from the moment she hit the stage it was clear to see that she was high out of her mind. She performed only one of her original songs and spent more time talking and incoherently babbling. At a couple different points she even was swearing. After an hour of the most painful show she was booed off stage and Alexander O'Neal came out. It only took a couple of moments to tell that he was also high out of his mind and sounded like he forgot to put his teeth in. This concert was an embarrassment to people who appreciate the classic old school artists. By far this was the worst concert I have ever attended. Everyone should have gotten a refund for this pathetic excuse of a concert.
