I attended the first and hopefully not last John Legend Concert in Barbados a little while back. The concert was amazing, from the beautifully dressed gymnasium full of people, to the backup dancers/singers and entertainment. I was not feeling very well that night, in fact I felt terrible, but after popping some meds down my throat and putting on a good face, I decided to venture out. I got there late unfortunately and missed quite abit of Masala 7's performance while waiting in the long line outside. I wondered who were these people singing Lady Antebellum's "I need you now"?. They sound really really good, I thought to myself. It wasn't until I finally got inside that I realized just how good they were. Barbados has talent, that's no doubt and Internationally worthy talent at that.
After Masala 7 left the stage, there was a short intermission of about 20 - 30 minutes while the stage equipment and instruments were set up. I was just about to get up and go to the bathroom when John suddenly walked out on the stage and the crowd started to scream. Now what can I say about John Legend. Handsome, check. Smooth Sexy vocals..oh yes indeed. Not only did John look the part in slim fitting pants, black skinny tee shirt coupled with a gray vest, but his singing and performance really moved me. I knew many of the songs, and everyone sang along to the popular songs "Ordinary People" and "Everybody Knows", and many of them I also heard for the very first time, but every single one was good. Now I could not sing along like everyone else since I lost my voice and be jumping up and down like they were, but I enjoyed myself immensely. I can still hear that song "Good morning...good morning love" in my head.
Oh what a night.
The "warm" outfit I wore that night.
I did not get many pictures that night unfortunately, and the camera had a mind of it's own.
Thanks for looking :)
