Corinne Bailey Rae Tickets

Some artists these days really seem to rely on technology to produce an entertaining show. In this case, it detracted from the overall quality of the performance. Corrine Bailey Rae is such a talented and appealing singer with a smooth, unique voice that it was such a shame that the bass overpowered her strong vocals and there always seemed to be reverberation. Also, the overall volume of the entire concert, including the opening acts, was too loud. It was too bad because she had a good repoire with her audience and sang a nice blend of old and new songs. A beautiful and creative cover of "I Only Have Eyes for You" would have been amazing if it weren't for the poor sound system.

Wow! What a natural talent Corrine Bailey Rae is!!! Her beautiful voice flows straight from her pure and honest heart. A great concert and an exhilarating experience listening to and watching her up close. I cannot wait to see her again. She is a rare talent, indeed. We went as a family and now our only wish is to be able to see her in an old intimate jazz club sort of venue, rather than twist our spines trying to watch her around the curves of other standing bodies, some with hats on top!

Last night I had the good fortune to witness a magical performance by the incomparable Corinne Bailey Rae. It is rare when you hear an artist perform, who is just as incredible live (without the multitude of electronic “clean up” devices!) as they are on their CDs. Such is the talent of CBR that she can proudly make this claim. I have seldom seen any musical artist exude the degree of charm, warmth and sincerity that Corinne does. To be honest, her singing and her stage presence made me (for the first time in my life!) want to run up on stage and give her a hug!! Equally impressive, were the band who backed her up. All in all, it was a great evening, and a tremendous reminder of the joy of “live” music, when it is performed by someone who is as accomplished as Corinne Bailey Rae. If she ever returns to Vancouver, do yourselves a favour, and check out her show. You will not be disappointed!!

First band was fun and raised the energy in the room. Second performer "killed" the energy. Corrine Bailey Rae started too late and the sound from her backup band was terrible and drowned her out. Corrine Bailey Rae herself was great.

After suffering through two opening acts... then enduring the first 1/2 of her act with the sound vibrating so loud it was distorting both her voice and the music....FINALLY everything came together! Ms. Bailey Rae voice seemed to improve with every song feeding off the love of the crowd. Both her style and mannerisms reminiscent of Billie Holliday with both her hairstyle and they way she holds out her arms as through she is reaching for the crowd's energy! She WAS worth the suffering -. love love love her.

Her much anticipated return did not disappoint last night at the intimate venue in the Drake Hotel. Ms. Rae is in fine form and her voice is as powerful and angelic as ever. Her new style is a departure from the girlish charm of her first CD, it's got more of a club sound and some great tracks for dancing. She is back and better than ever. Can't wait until February to get her new CD. When she returns to Toronto, it will be a not to miss show!

Corinne is fantastic. If you get the chance to see her, you will be delighted!

Great new tunes with an R&B groove, and a voice that surprises you with it's range, especially after hearing Corinne speak to the audience. Great venue - the set list was short, but the new songs were very listenable, especially Paper Dolls and Paris Nights / NY Mornings, my two favorites from the show. Also enjoyed the songs from the last album including of course, "Turn Your Record On". Will be buying the new album and catching the next Toronto show.
