TONI BRAXTON CONCERT HIGHLIGHTS
TONI BRAXTON CONCERT HIGHLIGHTS
The Grammy-award winning R&B sensation, Toni Braxton brought Johannesburg TicketPro Dome to a standstill on Saturday night with her smooth vocals.
The 52-year-old songstress commemorates her 25th anniversary in the music industry and what better way to celebrate than a special tour for her fans. Braxton, who headlined the sold out ‘As Long As I Live’ concert, was surprised by the crowd that sang along all her songs.
The singer performed some of her classics, Just Be A Man About It, Un-Break My Heart, Breathe Again and her platinum single from her recent album, As Long As I live. The crowd got on their feet for the singer who showcased her dance choreography and piano skills.
Local award-winning singer, Shekhinah opened for Braxton with her hits Suited, Please Mr and Back to the Beach. While in the country, Toni Braxton will visit the Ronald McDonald House Charities South Africa in association with McDonald’s. She is set to perform in Cape Town on the 12th November at the Grand Arena, Grandwest Casino. Leading up to the moment, Braxton was not in top form – from mixing up the dance choreography to failing to impress with diva divine custom changes.
There was an awkward moment in which she attempted to play the piano but gave up midway after a failed take-off. She often relied on the overzealous crowd to lift her up by engaging with them, instead of piping out the notes. While it was charming, in some parts, it killed the mood.
But fans didn’t seem to mind as she took them down memory lane with classics such as Just Be a Man About It, He Wasn’t Man Enough, Breathe Again and Hit the Freeway.
Her hour-long set didn’t include other favorites such as Spanish Guitar, The Heat and Love Shoulda Brought You Home. Local songbird Shekhinah opened for Braxton with her hits Suited, Please Mr and Back to the Beach. DJ Hudson warmed up concertgoers with smooth R&B jams.
