LET DOWN

I had been excited for months about seeing her live. Months. I even stayed at a hotel nearby. For 90 minutes it was mostly her musicians delivering the entertainment. Her band is extremely talented, but I did NOT pay to see them. Diana seemed listless and barely sung. Mostly letting her band members do solos. Really disappointed. Had I known it would be like this I would have saved my money.

SHE’S HARDLY THERE

No interaction with audience. More than half the performance listing to bass player and guitar player perform. Will not go back again. Many reviews are the same.

WAS DIANA SICK OR TIRED?

So disappointing! Mediocre acoustic in mezzanine at Au-Rene theater, songs boring. Not the Diana Krall I used to enjoy so much! The place was full but people were leaving. I was waiting for that moment when the music finally gets you , never happened!

DISAPPOINTING CONCERT

Diana Krall Concert had very little of what I came to see namely Diana Krall singing her standards. It felt like a jam session and the Warner is not a venue for a jam session. Her band were doing solos with Diana playing piano and singing occasionally and when she did, it was not very well. She isn’t hitting the notes or carrying the tunes. She’s an amazing pianist but that’s not what I came to see. Lots of folks walked out midway. Last Diana Krall concert. I’ll see.

HORRIBLY DISAPPOINTED.

Not sure what was going on here. I don’t know if she is having vocal issues or was sick, drunk, etc. but this concert was perfunctory at best. Accompanying musicians were good and her piano playing was solid but she was rushing the tempo on most of her songs and vocals were lazy. I’m a huge fan of her albums but, if this is representative of her live performances, I’ll never watch another one. Terribly disappointed in a musician for whom I previously had a lot of respect. I feel cheated and regret the experience.

SEDUCED BY HER ALBUMS - BUT HER LIVE PERFORMANCE A DISAPPOINTING FAIL (9/25/2022)

I have been a fan of Diana Krall for decades. Her voice was that of muse whose voice touched parts of my soul like no other. Her tunes have resonated thoughout my space when I needed to decompress and chill. Suffice it to say, I was so thrilled and anxious to see her perform live in Sugar Land, TX at the state of the art SMART FINANCIAL CENTER. Her performance, from the very start, lacked energy. It appeared that she forgot that she was the performer for this event. Her voice did not have the magical, and passionate, quality that I was accustomed to. With the exception of a few of her standards, all her music was new to me. Additionally, she appeared to rely on the solo performances of her group (bassist, drummer and guitarist) to carry her and fill in most of the time. They were remarkable. This said, they were not the reason I spent so much for the two tickets I purchased. I couldn't believe that her set was over for what was approximately an hour and a half. Surely, she would come back for an encore performance. She did, it was one song and she left. If you are a Diana Krall fan, remain one by just continuing to listen to her albums and don't have a live performance destroy the illusion you have of her.

DIANA KRALL

Very disappointed in her energy and appearance. Her hair covered her face like "cousin It". She wore a dress that covered her entire body. She never got off her piano chair. The quartet didn't do her any justice. We left after 1 hour, it got boring and it all sounded the same. She needs to be more personable, energetic, show off her beauty more, get more instruments in her orchestra to make it more exciting. I should have brought my lazyboy chair so I could take a nap. Waist on money. Her music is better than average but performance is a failure. I hope she gets my feedback; I doubt it
