I attended the Maxwell concert last Saturday at the Chicago Theater. It was great! Jazmine Sullivan opened. If you listen to R&B radio, you have definitely heard her popular hit "Need U Bad." She sounded good. I like that some of her other songs are a combination of rock and R&B. She is not, however, much of an entertainer but does exude a warm personality. I also think her presentation needs improving. Overall, I give her 3 stars and may buy her CD.
Back to Maxwell... He still sounds and looks good. The new haircut gives him a more mature sex appeal. 
The women screamed (okay, so I may have been a little hoarse the next day) and the men who attended should have enjoyed a grand finale at home later. He, too, is not much of an entertainer, but I don't go to see Maxwell expecting a Beyonce or Janet show. I bought tickets to hear his voice and look at him. He delivered.
My criticism is that he sang to many fast songs and the performance could have been longer. I love all of his music, but his ballads are what makes him special. He sang two of his new songs (a release date has not been set for the CD). They were upbeat tunes. My guess is the record label is pushing him to put out commercial "radio hits" after being off the scene so long. His true fans, the ones who will buy the CD, want to hear his beautiful god blessed voice. We need ballads for that.

Leave Jazmine alone. She's great performer. I just caught her at the House of Blues. She was workin the stage like a seasoned pro. Maybe she's just a lot better in small venues.
