The term booming voice would be one way to describe a performance by Kelis, another would be awesome. Even though I was too young to hear the old style R&B/Soul singers of the 70s, Kelis has helped fill that void by providing a very unique yet old style feel to her music.
In this day and age I would have thought it would be difficult for something like this to catch on given the changes that R&B has gone through over the years, but judging by how many people came to the venue to see her perform this is far from the case. It was very easy for me to get a ticket and even easier for me to get a parking space.
While it seemed like there were a lot of people there to see her perform, I was easily able to find a seat near the front row that would allow me to comfortably enjoy her show. Once she entered the stage I could see that she was wearing a very simple dress and that her orchestra was well dressed, but not in a way that was over the top.
As she began to sing "Rumble" her orchestra moved close to her and she began to sing and dance around her microphone as her female background singer flanked her side. Another thing I noticed was that she had a female drummer and that is something that you hardly if ever see in the music industry in general unfortunately, but it was a nice and welcome change. I really enjoyed the performance and left with happy and calm feelings and a smile on my face.
