DESTINY FULFILLED...AND LOVING IT!!

IF YOU AINT A DESTINY'S CHILD FAN....THIS POST IS NOT FOR YOU!!!

Ok now that we've gotten that out of the way......

So I've been waiting with HIGH anticipation for March 28th to get here since last summer. The Destiny's Child 'Live in Atlanta' DVD was released on that day and I've already watched it 3 times. I had the awesome opportunity of seeing the show live last summer and it was absolutely one of the BEST concerts I've ever been to. If you missed the Destiny Fulfilled..And Loving It Tour, trust me you missed a treat. It's no secret I'm a HUGE fan of Destiny's Child. I know what you're thinking...'He only likes them because his baby's mother is the lead singer' and you are partially right. I've blogged about my admiration for this group before,(click here)

I gained a BRAND NEW appreciation for them after seeing them live. And trust me when I tell you, I'm very critical of live performances partly because of my musical background but mostly because of my musical ear. I pay attention to pitch, harmony and all the little things that most people neglect. DC3 provided an excellent example of one of the principles I based my company around (PROPER PREPARATION will help you deliver a POLISHED PRESENTATION) All 3 of them SANG they ASSES OFF! Now you need to know that prior to the concert, I really didnt care for Michelle.

I thought she really didnt fit in the group and her voice left MUCH to be desired. I purchased both of her gospel albums and was quite disappointed. I often told people she sounded like Macy Gray on crack. To make matters worse, it always seemed like she was the last one to get into hair, makeup and wardrobe when they performed because she ALWAYS LOOKED A HOT ASS MESS! I actually came up with a hilarious re-enactment of how I think the dressing room scene plays out each time they get ready to go on stage. (perhaps I'll share it with you guys on my next visit to Trent's Witty Wend post if he ever brings his late ass back. he might wanna come back soon before he has no fans to come back to...but i digress)

What was I talking about?..oh yea DC3...so I went to the concert and I have to say I was completely BLOWN AWAY. Now before you start thinking it was a BEYONCE show with overpaid background singers/dancers aka Michelle and Kelly let me assure you it was FAR FROM IT. ALL 3 of the girls showed why they are the BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE GROUP OF ALL TIME. Now yall know I LOVE my baby's mother with every ounce of my being but Michelle STOLE the show. To give you an idea of how much she stole the show check this out. After her solo performance, she recieved a 5 minute standing ovation at the show I was at. After this concert, I vowed NEVER to hate on Michelle's vocals again and I promise you that after you see her performance you wont either. The crowd was going so wild for her, my baby's mother's entrance for her solo performance was delayed a few mins. (but dont worry she definitely made up for it and showed us why her solo album did better than both of their's COMBINED!!)

So I guess I said all that to say....GET THE DAMN DVD!! It's well worth it!
