点评:This was the worst concert experience I have had. The concert was supposed to start 7 pm. We waited 1.5 HOURS to get into the venue. Fortunately, the weather was pleasant. We were told it was because the tour company was 1.5 hours late setting up the stage and lights. There was, thankfully, only 1 opening act rather than 2 as advertised. Ne-Yo started at 9:10 pm and sang for an hour. I wasn’t familiar with his music, but Ne-Yo’s performance was very good. Then there was a 45-minute intermission. Mary J. Blige started at 11:02 and from the first minute, you knew something was really off. The sound was TERRIBLE. The lighting was off — at times she was standing in the dark and could not be seen. It was downhill from there, and the fans could tell. Mary J. Blige’s voice lacked its vibrancy, and her movements were sluggish. A few lines into “Not Goin’ Cry,” she started crying. The audience sang most of all of the songs, as though trying to lift her up.
It appeared to me that Mary must be going through something physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It was so disheartening to see this beautiful, strong, brilliant and resilient woman struggling the way she was. I will be praying for her. 🙏🏽
翻译:这是我经历过的最糟糕的音乐会体验。音乐会原定于晚上 7 点开始。我们等了一个半小时才进入会场。幸运的是,天气很好。我们被告知这是因为旅游公司晚了一个半小时搭建舞台和灯光。谢天谢地,只有 1 个开场表演,而不是广告中说的 2 个。Ne-Yo 在晚上 9:10 开始演唱,唱了一个小时。我不熟悉他的音乐,但 Ne-Yo 的表现非常好。然后是 45 分钟的中场休息。Mary J. Blige 在 11:02 开始演唱,从第一分钟开始,你就知道有些事情真的不对劲。声音很糟糕。灯光也不亮——有时她站在黑暗中,看不见。从那时起,情况就每况愈下,粉丝们都能看出来。Mary J. Blige 的声音缺乏活力,动作迟缓。唱了几句“Not Goin’ Cry”后,她开始哭泣。观众唱了大部分歌曲,仿佛试图让她振作起来。
在我看来,玛丽肯定在身体上、情感上和精神上经历了一些事情。看到这个美丽、坚强、聪明、坚韧的女人如此挣扎,真是令人沮丧。我会为她祈祷。🙏🏽
