Born into a strict Apostolic faith, Braxton’s earliest musical influences came from gospel; singing in the local church with her four sisters and operatically trained mother. After her parents changed faith, Braxton was afforded a wider set of musical influences and allowed to explore her vocal talents. After being discovered singing to herself in a gas station by songwriter Bill Pittaway, the Braxton siblings, known as the Braxtons, signed with Arista Records in 1990.
The group’s debut single, “The Good Life”, arrived in 1990, though despite failing to chart, introduced Toni Braxton to the songwriting and production gurus L.A. Reid and Babyface. Braxton became the duo first signing on the duo's LaFace label in 1991, which led to the singer appearing on the soundtrack to the Eddie Murphy film “Boomerang” in 1992. Braxton’s highly-anticipated debut album was issued in 1993, the self-titled release shot to No. 1 on the pop and R&B U.S. charts, and spawned a host of Top 10 singles including “Another Sad Love Song” and “You Mean the World to Me”. The album sold over eight million copies, led to Grammy wins for Best New Artist and for Best Female R&B Vocals two year running with “Another Sad Love Song” in 1994 and “Breathe Again” in 1995.
After contributing to the Witney Houston-focused soundtrack to “Waiting to Exhale” in 1995, Braxton released her sophomore album “Secrets” in 1996. With the success of her self-titled debut, it was a hard act to follow, however, it was another hugely popular hit. Aided by hit single after hit single including “You’re Makin’ Me High”, “Un-break My Hearrt” and “I Don’t Want To”, the album once again sold over eight million copies. Later winning the singer the Grammy Awards for Best Female Pop Vocal for “Un-break My Heart” and Best Female R&B Vocal for “You’re Making Me High”, the album cemented Braxton’s role as the figurehead of ’90’s R&B.
Subsequent to the album Braxton was caught in a legal limbo with the label LaFace and was unable to release another album until “The Heat” in 2000. “The Heat” proved another successful album though was unable to match the sales of its predecessors, despite the singles “Just Be a Man About It” and “Spanish Guitar”. Braxton did however earn her sixth Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal for “He Wasn’t Man Enough”. The singer subsequently released the album “More Than a Woman” in 2003, “Libra” in 2005, “Pulse" in 2010, and the duet album alongside Babyface, “Love, Marriage & Divorce” in 2014.

The Babyface portion of the concert was worth the ticket price alone even though I saw Babyface perform last year at the same venue.
Toni Braxton's performance started very weak. From the television screens, it looked to me as if she was lip synching the first song. The audience immediately complained several times that we couldn't hear her. Ms. Braxton tried her best to accommodate us by holding the mic closer, repositioning herself closer to the end of the stage and demanding that the sound team make technical adjustments. All of this did help to improve her vocals in the end; however, some people had already left the concert in disappoint. But in all fairness, it was late when Toni Braxton took the stage - 10pm on a work night.
Toni admitted that she was hoarse and tried to get one of her sisters to sing a song. Trina and Towanda refused. Toni then wasted a significant amount of her time entertaining and taking selfie pics with a select few audience members in the front row. I was sitting in front row of Loge (my fav area for all concerts) however this area is totally disadvantaged from most audience participation stunts. Although I must say, Babyface made it to where I was sitting, but sadly not Toni.
Toni showed a video clip of Braxton Family Values. People booed when she suggested it, but I personally enjoyed it. It was short, entertaining and didn't take much time because everything was already set up for it.
Ms. Braxton's performance provided ticket purchasers with a lot to complain about. For me the gravest disappointment was the lack of organization exhibited. It felt like she just showed up without thinking about which songs to sing and without rehersing. She kept asking her band and the audience what else could she sing almost as if she didn't have the sheet music or lyrics for her own recordings! Although that part really got under my skin, the prick was softened by the fact that while doing this she looked so damn FABULOUS, SUPER SEXY HOT, SENSATIONALLY GORGEOUS.
Toni Braxton is kind-hearted and it showed in the amount of attention she gave to her fans in concert! When she came to Chene Park in Detroit last August, she brought so many fans on stage that I lost count. One elderly couple was celebrating their wedding anniversary, and she sung the hit, “Breathe Again,” to them as the couple danced together onstage. Toni also danced with one gentleman from the audience; you could tell she really had fun with him, and she gave him a loving hug when they were finished. Although the singer had not released an album between 2011-2013, her performance was still worth seeing because of her classics. “Another Sad Love Song,” “Seven Whole Days,” "Un-Break My Heart,” and “Spanish Guitar” are among the many hits Toni performed. Even though this artist has some sad and heart-breaking songs, the concert still went about in a fun and lively manner. It was not at all depressing or a sob session. Additionally, she did announce that she and singer Babyface would be releasing their song, “Hurt You,” soon and for fans to look out for it. It was also a great surprise when Toni’s soul-singing sisters Traci, Trina, and Towanda made an appearance. They sung a few songs together, including “Just Be A Man About It.” Overall, the show was wonderful. Regarding how appreciative and humble Toni Braxton is, she surely deserved every penny of the ticket price.
What a woman, what a voice. Toni Braxton, often affectionally nicknamed the 'queen of R & B' has been delighting audience since she rose to prominence in the mid 90's. As opposed to her contemporaries such as Beyonce, Rihanna or Ciara, Braxton has kept her live show purposely minimal so as to allow those vocals to really shine.
Known for her endearing personality and kind mannerisms, she immediately builds a rapport with her crowd and they repay her likeable stage persona with even louder applause and cheers for classics including 'Breathe Again' and 'You're Making Me High'. Her vocal does not appear to have wavered with age and she is still able to perform the impressive vocal acrobatics that first brought her to the attention of countless record labels.
All of the fan favourites are included tonight and by a final emotive performance of 'Un-break My Heart' the whole audience is on their feet applauding this talented singer.
The show was amazing! Toni really out did herself from her audience participation to her vocals. She put on the best show she possibly could considering the horrible venue and the fact that she was getting over a cold. The show was held in Houston, TX at the arena theatre. The oldest theatre known to man! My fiance surprised me with tickets before he proposed to me. The tickets were apart of my engagement surprise because my fiance know I love me some Toni! My fiance purchased the V.I.P experience tickets, but honestly there wasn't anything V.I.P about them. There wasn't a meet an greet and the venue service was terrible. However, Toni you were amazing an really made my engagement even more special!
After seeing Toni Braxton over 20 years ago in the UK and enjoying her music up to now, I was really excited about seeing her once again in concert.
Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed with her performance on the evening of the 16th November at the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith.
Firstly, the 'sound' quality was very poor, could not hear her properly.
Also, too much 'audience participation' going on and not enough of her singing.
The first artist I have seen not to do an encore!!
I still love listening to her music but I certainly would not go to see her in concert again.
Toni Braxton is one of the most beautiful woman in the world and on top of that...one of the most talented! Her voice is simply unbelievable; if "falling in love" had a sound, it would be Toni Braxton's voice. This is not all..she's one of the sweetest and nicest souls around with class to the 100th power. Needless to say, her concert was amazing, soothing, and fun! It's actually my second time seeing her in xonxert and definitely not the last. Thanks Baby Face for finding such an irreplaceable person and introducing her to the world...a more beautiful place because of her!!!
SWV put on a hell of a show... sounding as they never left... Toni set was up and down as somehow the sound people did not so a very good job of doing a sound check. As far as the show; she was engaging with the fans ... but never chose me to dance the final set... I thought the acoustics were due to the Township is an OLD venue... that would not have the trouble in a newer venue... it was frustrating to the fans as it was to Toni... but I hope she does not hold it against SC as the show was a sellout.
First concert and almost didn't go. I got the ticket the day of and for one ticket it was very expensive! Memo: buy tickets before the show when the tickets isn't as much. Since I went solo, was little odd, but did have fun! Toni Braxton, at the start of the show wasn't the "best", it was great anyways! Two hours with a couple of R&B's legacy singers, Toni Braxton and SWV, was a huge blessing, not anything that I'll change, mishaps or anything.
Toni Braxton was really good. She started on time and she put on a great performance. With so much music she couldn't sing everything. Per her own admission, the whole band was recovering from a cold. She sneezed and still kept going. I really enjoyed the show, Caesar's Palace Venue is another story. I will definitely see her again. Pure raw talent!
What an amazing night! Toni was on fleek! She is absolutely awesome. I would go today to another show and tomorrow. I grew up listening to her, idolizing her and the Braxton Family Values is my favourite. I lover her so so much, and she better come back again. I was amazed by her performance
