I just came back from the Mary J Blige concert and I have to say that I have a new found respect for Mary. She put on an excellent show. She talked a lot about the meaning behind the songs. I sang along with her all night. Every song had a memory attached and hearing her belt those lyrics out from the bottom of her soul brought tears to my eyes more than once during the show.
The outfits looked good, and she worked that stage like she was born to do it. And for the first time in a long time I felt like I got my money's worth at a concert.
Of course in true CP fashion we were late to the show and missed the opening act which was Avant. I wanted to see him too, but Mary more than made up for it.
Two tickets to the Aladdin Theater of the performing arts - $86.00
4 Vodka and Cranberry Juice (lite vodka, heavy on the cranberry) - $19.75
Tipping the Valet to park my car near the front and then bring it out in front of everyone else's - $20.00
Going to a concert and knowing every word to every song and being able to feel the meaning behind them - PRICELESS.
