Agree on Maxwell and Badu. Anytime they come to town I make it a point to see them. Great stage presence, great songs and they know how to entertain without trying too hard. > >I like a lot of what Ne-Yo does live but I wouldn't want to >see him in a large venue...

Ne-Yo is "fun" and I think he puts on a good show but he has paper thin vocals so it's hard for me to recommend him. I'm not a big Alicia Keys fan but she does put on an entertaining live show for me. > >I've seen Chromeo a couple times with my daughter and enjoyed >the hell out of it...

Mint Condition has always put on great live shows to me. Oh and I'd add R Kelly when he is really in his zone which for me he hasn't been for about 8 or 9 years but I do plan on checking him out on this tour because it seems like he's been putting the focus back on his live performances.
I have noticed a resurgence in live performances with some of the independent R&B/soul acts out there like Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and Fitz & The Tantrums that put on really fun, energetic live shows. > >"Re-Elected Bitches" >_________________________________ >Reunion Radio Podcasts >Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance > >http://reunionradio.blogspot.com/ > >Latest episode- Send Out For Sunshine
