Touch the Sky Tour


Sorry I haven't been posting too much (moving has been a real pain). But I got a chance to check out the Touch the Sky this weekend, with Kanye West, Fantasia, and Keyshia Cole. When I bought the tickets Common was supposed to be a part of the show - but he is shooting a movie somewhere and couldn't be a part of it. I was supposed to go with a female friend of mine but the day of the Keyshia Cole is fine and she has a great voice - my girl Mo will get mad at me for saying so but she did a rendition of "I'm going down" and sounded better than the reigning Queen Ms. Blige (sorry Nish but she did). Fantasia had a nice little set and had on these sweet thigh high boots (although she had on some like skin-tight shorts with them - don't know how I feel about those). Kanye put on a nice show - no hype man - all kinds of effects, and I loved the way he would play the song he sampled the music from - like Ray Charle's "I got a woman" before he went into Gold Digger. He worked the stage pretty well and he must be exhausted after his stage show. He must have learned a few tricks on stage presentation from his tour with Usher, although his mentor Jay has been leaning towards more theatrics in his past few tours.
