Whoever the 2 musically challenged FOOLS that selected thumbs down please go away and never come back to any of his video's obviously you have a serious defect in ability to appreciate a true entertainer, and singer, singing from the depths of his soul!!!!!!!!!!!! THUMBS UP FOR BILAL!
words can't describe the instrument this man has. his incredible range and emotions with which he sings is so utterly REAL. so powerful, yet laid-back at the same time. what a gift to take a new spin and add different flavor to a hit and still make it song delicious. go Bilal!
This man is incredible! This arrangement of Soul Sista is so beautiful. His vocals are stellar. I am excited to hear what he is going to do next. He will be performing some of his new songs in Chicago tonight (3/27/01). Knock their socks off Bilal! Much Love. PEACE!!!
79blt, I am not sure what performance you went to, but I am a recent collector of his work and have a comprehensive list of his work. My playlist contains 187 performances of Bilal and only once did he forget his lyrics (2001-2009). I don't know if he was wasted, but listening to his music in headphones, I can tell you he hit every note. He is a vocal artist and his voice is his paint brush - his instrument. He is a man evolving thru his music. Don't look for what you saw yesterday.
79blt; cont. Perhaps you cannot connect with his art, but remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty without reflects the beauty within. Bilal: Keep the flow of energy through your music coming. It has lifted me to higher levels. Can't please all the people all the time. Besides why would you want to. Then you wouldnt please yourself. PEACE!
Its 1 thing to perform a song but its another thing to feel a song when you share it. This arrangement is coming from somewhere Deep! This is his experience not a performance. This is some emotion that he feels and sharing it on stage. From what I can understand the Brother has gone through a lot in this slave-making industry (the music industry). Sure he has had his share of fair-weather soul sistas along the way. He sounds like a man who is tired down to his soul. Peace!
I am jealous! Live four states away and doubt if he will get this way unless he comes to New Orleans. Considered traveling to ATL for the concert. Please get good video and share it with the world. Seems like this might be the only way we can get music from him in the U.S. Can't even find The Return of Mr. Wonderful online in the US. Seems like it is in Europe. PEACE
please dont take my dislike for the show as a dislike for someones evolution in music. ASSuming is never a good thing. my qualm is w/ the quality of the show i attended. when ur craft is your voice, u care for it and you present your best for ALL customers.this isnt about me not being able to connect and i didnt go expecting to hear anything. i was just excited to be there and was let down by what was garbage. if you werent there, its hard for you to defend but i understand. i love(d) him too
hey, i was waiting for the same show! went and hated it. what did you think about his performance? i left early and then came here to see how previous performances looked. i dont think im crazy-half the people there tonite seemed to be sitting there thinking something similar to what i was,lol. im disappointed!!
I thought it was a girl who said, I cant take this, and I didnt think it was in a good way. I guess after reading all the comments, it is definetly just me feeling that way. The original is a classic, I understand doing things different for a live set, but the classics IMO sometimes are best left the way they are. its just an opinion, relax... LOL peace
@ focusedentertainment performance was the wrong word. his voice was completely off. people left, including myself. he was wasted and it was painful to hear. even this is not the voice ive heard in other performances. something is different about him and not in a good way.he doesnt even look healthy here

words can't describe the instrument this man has. his incredible range and emotions with which he sings is so utterly REAL. so powerful, yet laid-back at the same time. what a gift to take a new spin and add different flavor to a hit and still make it song delicious. go Bilal!
