Review of a Erykah Badu show


I can't remember the set list but the highlight songs were "Soldier", "Honey", "The Healer", and most definitely "Annie". Nice to see Erykah wear that wrap on her head again. But underneath Erykah unleashed a surprise and that something that you will have attend in order to find out. But some of the songs I like from the performance were "Me", "Bag Lady", and "Soldier". It was kinda dark during some of the performances and I had no camera. But heads up to the Erykah Badu fans, bring a camera to concert. It better to have memories of the performances. Fans definitely showed their love by holding up posters.
