Borderline music store told me on Facebook they love the new album so much and would absolutely love Toni to do an in-store signing event with them. Do you guys know how to contact anyone at Toni's camp?

Is there any chance to meet Toni at Saturday's show before or after? Have been a fan since 1996 and it's my biggest dream.

Hello Doomsday,

I was also sixth row, I wonder if we saw each other at the concert. Just got back. The show started a bit late and it rained mostly throughout the show. Toni was in a good mood but the audience had to wear raincoats and did not get up that much. She said that the new songs still need to grow on us.. There have been some technical glitches due to the rain but all in all in was a fantastic show.
Setlist (as far as I can remember and may be out of order):
He Wasn't Man Enough
Just Be A Man About It/ I Love Me Some Him/ I Don't Want To
How Many Ways.../Love Shoulda.../Another Sad Love Song/You Mean The World..
Make My Heart
Yesterday
Hands Tied
Why Won't You Love Me
Woman
Lookin At Me
If I Have To Wait
Breathe Again
You're Makin Me High
Unbreak My Heart

Just got back from the Toni Braxton concert which was in the rain. So there were a little technical glitches, nothing severe. Toni even went out in the rain a little bit. Great concert. Her voice was amazing as usual.

I do not know all the entire set list. I was too mesmerized to remember...but I will give you guys a quick synopsis.

She opened the show with He Wasn't Man Enough. (Tamar and Trina were backup with the two dancers from her recent Hands Tied performances). She sang some of her older hits...(Just be a man about it, You mean the world to me, Love Should Have Brought You Home, etc.) Then she started to sing songs from her new album....first...Yesterday, she also sang Hands Tied (with the red ropes), Make My Heart, If I Have to Wait, Why Won't You Love Me, Woman, and Looking at Me. Of all the new songs...the crowd was really feeling Why Won't You Love Me.

The sad part is no one was really dancing to Make My Heart or Looking At Me. Toni seemed a little disappointed. She even said I wanted you guys to dance. After she sang looking at me, she was like I guess you guys are not ready for the new stuff because it might be too new. I felt bad for her, but the crowd was "older" (mostly late 20s and up). She did pull guys up on stage for Love Should Have Brought You Home and Breathe Again.

After her new songs, she sang You're Makin' Me High, Another Sad Love Song, Breathe Again, and closed with Unbreak My Heart (which the audience sang along).

That was the concert basically. She did some dancing. Her sisters were working it. No costume changes, she wore a strapless black dress, which exposed her cleavage, with a floor length skirt with booty shorts that exposed her entire leg and a lil booty. Her voice once again was flawless and I loved the fact that she went out in the rain.

As a side note I felt bad for her because besides the die hard fans which you could tell who they were, people were not crazy about the new songs, and she noticed. Atlantic needs to promote more and send her songs to more general audiences, not just adult R&B Stations. Regardless AMAZING CONCERT. I LOVE TONI!

I think ppl were not dancing, or another reason is that it was raining. I'm sry I love Toni but I ain't dancing in the rain. I drove two hours on 94 in a storm and couldn't see. Hahaha.

But it sucks the crowd didn't respond at ALL to the new stuff. I have a couple small video but I think the audio is ruined due to the speakers being so loud and thumping!!
