Corinne Bailey Rae Tickets

TorontoExcellent show by Corinne. Her graceful performance was just as I imagined it. Smooth and lyrical - love the Spanish guitar on Like A Star. Opening pair of songs with Corinne on the electric guitar were wicked and got the whole show kicked off to a great start. She seemed a bit shy but enjoyed the extremely warm welcome from the Toronto crowd. Opening act Merriweather's personality was pleasant enough but he was trying far too hard to be soulful (especially a counterpoint to Corinne's effortlessness) and lacked the vocal ability to pull it off. Too much forced grimaced bluesy ooooing and ahhiing coupled with boyband gestures to lyrics: pointing up when "high", touching the chest when singing "heart", touching the temple when "thinking" , thumb and pinky to ear when calling on the phone, and my favourite, clenched palm extended outward, rolling left and right to signify "driving" . The same gestures were repeatedly mimed through almost every song. All this and the man actually tried to cover a Leadbelly song. Yikes. My comment to the staff at the QET is to watch the distortion and reverb. You have a beautiful venue with an amazing sound system (I heard the range during the opening act - the sound system was great even if the opener wasn't.). Please don't be ruin your shows by participating in the common practice of turning up the volume until notes and words bleed into one another. When you have a singer with such clear vocals it's especially annoying. Most venues think that jacking it up to eleven for the featured act will better whip the audience into a frenzy. What it actutally does is have audience members leaving with comments like "great show (said only because they are fans of the performer), it's a shame the sound system sucks." Please distinguish yourself from the other venues and show some restraint. (*Note: I am not saying the show was too loud per se as I attend rock and alt rock shows, rather the volume was turned up too loudly for the clarity of this particular singer coupled with this particular sound system. Sound systems shouldn't indiscriminately make every artist sound grungy and dirty).

The Venue was fantastic. Not a bad seat in the house. Corrine sings like an angel Band was tight.

well performed, and she did the extra song, respect the fans that's a good sign she's a lady and i was able to take glimpse (and a photo) after the performance which was pretty cool!!

Absolutely breathtaking. Corinne Bailey Rae is an amazing artist and I love seeing her live! Very yummy artists! Great combination!

I attended this concert last night in Toronto. I think that CBR is a very, very talented young woman. Her voice is just incredible. However, I found that the band, at times, overwhelmed her. Especially in her lower vocal range. She was drowned out by the loudness and intensity of the music and her words at times could not be understood. I also thought that the bass player was just a touch slow on almost all of the songs. CBR was her fantastic self. Song choice was great. She seemed relaxed and enjoying herself. Overall, everything CBR was good....the band ? Not so much....

The talent that comes from her is amazing! Her voice is breathtaking... It was amazing to see her in concert again!

Corinne Bailey Rae is one of the most soulful singers i've ever seen...and i've seen alot!! This concert was unbelievable and i will jump on the tickets every time she comes!!

She's got a dynamite voice that she uses with as much force or restraint that the songs require. She interacts well with the audience, albeit a bit shyly - which is forgiveable. I hope she comes back again - I would definitely attend.

Corinne is a spiritual artist who has the personal strength to maintain a deep and continual connection with the core of her soul. Her entrance onto the stage was quiet and gentle but her power emerged the moment she picked up her guitar and sang. Although aware of her audience, she remained within her spiritual core while performing for the first half hour. She was lifted from her trance when an audience member yelled, "We love you, Corinne." Her responsive smile was infectious. From that moment onward, her spiritual energy permeated from the stage and throughout the audience. Corinne and her band members are generous artists who will never disappoint. Corinne is an enlightened artist and a luminous star who will shine forever.

The Queen Elizabeth Theatre is a good venue for Cornine being a more intimate setting atmosphere and the acoustics is better than some arena or open air stadium. She moved quickly and professionally through the songs of her latest album the Sea and some other favorites. From the opening song she had the audience in a trance with her singing and no one there wanted to released from . I believe she is just a CD away from super stardom. I look forward to do this again and ofcourse I love her big hair.

The concert opened by the brilliant Daniel Merriweather, who was otherwise unknown to me yesterday. I instantly fell in love with Daniel's raspy, soulful voice as he sang through songs from his Love & War album. He also stuck around in the lobby to sign autographs, however, his album quickly sold out in a matter of minutes, and unfortunately, I wasn't able to get one! Quick note for organizers: Bring more albums for sale!!! Corinne came onstage at about 9pm, on time, and with the biggest and sweetest smile as the full theatre welcomed her. Clad in a loose black short-sleeved jumper and curly hair let loose, Corinne thanked everyone for coming out and began her set with a song off of her album, The Sea. She moved on to singing more songs off of The Sea as well as songs from her first album, including "Put Your Records On," which she introduced as "a song a lot of you may be familiar with"! She ended her set with the title song "The Sea," using an unsual flat table-top like strumming instrument that sounded almost like a harp. Shortly afterward, Corinne returned to the stage for an encore, singing a soulful rendition of "Que Sera Sera." Corinne's was performance and voice were nothing short of beautiful and effortless. Her voice was flawless and moved from song to song without hesitation or fatigue. Did I mention, she went through her set without even so much as a short intermission? She also sweetly thanked the audience after each performance of her songs, which I thought was so humble.

As expected, Corinne was incredible! Beautiful, powerful voice, magical lighting, sultry setting.

I am an even bigger fan of Corinne B Rae now that i've seen her LIVE! The venue (the Commodore) was perfect for her - it was intimate and casual. She is so sweet and soulful and has an amazing voice and such a talented artist. She promised us that she would come back to Vancouver so that makes me very happy. The two covers she performed were outstanding as well - "que sera sera" by Doris Day and "i only have eyes for you" but with a sexy slow reggae beat - woohooh!!!!...it got hot and steamy in the joint :) Opening acts were great, especially Overtone from Joburg, South Africa. As you can see i only have good things to say so if you are considering going to concert, don't think twice about it - you won't reget it - it was a great night! Les

first to acts were great - fantastic venue - cornia used her own set up and the bass was so bad people were leaving! i would have loved to stay but the sound was way too painful - even the doorman had on ear plugs which they were selling for a buck

The Commodore is always a good time. The venue is excellent. lots of space, friendly staff and the chance to elbow your way up to the front of the stage. The opening acts were very talented. Overtone, the 7 pcs acapella group from South Africa was a really pleasant surprise. Followed by Daniel Merriweather who was really cool and sang big and loud and full of conviction. Corinne Bailey Rae was excellent. During the first song the base was way to loud. Everyone yelled for them to turn it down and they did. After that, it was a talent filled night. Corinne is a tiny little thing with a big voice, filled with emotion. Her love of being onstage and singing for her fans show in a clear joy on her face. Her songs are heart breaking knowing the lose she has suffered. If you get a chance to see any of these artists, take it.

3 hours of waiting for Corrine Bailey Rae to play and then a mixer who seemed to think that the room needed to vibrate with bass. God Awful. By the time she started playing the energy was gone.

She was very very cute and she really has amazing voice!!

The price was right. I could have done with only one opening band, Corinne wasn't on until 11:00. The sound was horrible for the first two songs. The bass make my teeth rattle but the sound dude fixed it and the rest of the show was awesome.. Corinne is a wonderful singer and the event was well worth the hassle of going into Vancouver.

Corinne's band was solid. Beautiful, hypnotic sounds and re-makes of some original songs she chose for example, "Que Sera Sera." Her voice is so sexy and sultry. It was such a delight to just see her sing. It made everyone happy just to see the way she sang her songs. Full of joyful emotions. She was so cute and sexy at the same time. This girl will be around for years to come. She's got talent, beauty, and the sound of her innocent, eccentric voice. She was able to capture her fans through her songs, singing, and her great charming, classy personality.

I love everything about this amazing woman - her writing - her performing - her voice - her passion - her stage prescence - her choice of stage support - I bought her DVD and was playing it at home - then my wife Wendy asked... who is that ... and that led us to the Commodore to see Corinne ... at 60 we were not impressed with the 10:45pm start ... but that dissolved away when the set started and that incredible voice kicked in. We stood stage left and really felt in the moment with this group and their pulse ... able to read the eyes and spirit of the moment we were sharing... more to say --- but it comes down to god bless you all ... and Corinne especially for being in touch with so much real emotion with all that you do.... love love love.... Paul and Wendy
