Let me start by saying…OMG…OMG…OMG and for good measure I will drop in one more OMG!!!

Tonight at the Tabernacle Prince introduced the city of Atlanta to Tamar (pronounced Tay-mar).  The concert was billed as Tamar featuring Prince.  It was just that…Prince played the perfect sidekick (if he could ever be called that)…he was her narrator, her hype man, her guitarist, her first, her last, her everything.

The place was packed because Prince’s name, but the show was hot because Tamar can “SANG” and is a true perfromer and she also travels with twins…hell who doesn’t like twins.  The show was all covers, from Aretha to Mary to Janet & Michael Jackson. One of my highlights was when Tamar was singing “When a Man loves a Woman” (OMG this woman can BLOW). She was into it singing waving her hands and jumping around…she’s in the chorous singing “WHEN A MAAAAAAN LOVES A….” drops the mic and runs off the stage.  Prince walks over stomps his foor and says “SEXUAL CHOCOLATE……..SEXUAL CHOCOLATE”.  It was hilarious.

There was another song can’t remember the name of it but she was singing about how in love she was with this man who was cheating on her and broke her heart and was crying and ran off they stage….the twins ran after her….Prince took the opportunity to play a solo (off the chain).  Well the twins bring Tamar back on stage and she has a towel drying her eyes with one hand…and in the other hand she has a butter knife.  She was to the mic and begind talking as if she is talking to this man who cheat on her. She says “Do you think I’m crazy?  I’ll be outside your window with a gaosline can….filled with Ice cold lemonade…I’ll have on a ski mask and roller blades…you still don’t think I’m crazy…WELL TRY ME”  It was soo classic.

As I said…Prince played the gracious host….but then he couldn’t take it anymore and took over the show when Tamar and the twins stepped off stage.  He went into “Party Man” from the Batman Soundtrack.  Tamar and the twins came back out with a WTH look on their faces.  He looked at them and said this is between me and Atlanta ya’ll go on over there and sit down.  He says “i’m old Skool and ain’t afraid to show it” (I made old skool with a ‘k’ that was fro the BSU). He says “Tamar an ‘nem to young to know about this here” and proceeds to Jam for about 30 minutes.  He plays a couple of his songs and a couple of other classics”  He went into a rendition od Barry White “Ecstacy when you lay next to me”…hearing Prince do Barry was priceless.

Ok I wil stop now because it’s almost 3AM.

Tiff bought me the tickets to the show reason #345,762 I love her….
