As I sat here, watching Prince’s 1986 performance in Detroit, I couldn’t help but feel amazed and in awe. I spent most of the hour watching live performances of some of my favorite artists after being inspired by Victoria Monet’s energetic performance on Jimmy Fallon.
I don’t regularly listen to her music, but I would gladly pay to watch her show since she brings a level of energy that even some of my favorite artists can’t match.
These performers not only fill me with awe, but they also ignite a longing and yearning within me. A desire to be like them, to sing, to write, to dance, even if I have two left feet. I’d love to give it a try, even if my dance moves resemble Taylor Swift on her ‘Eras’ tour attempting choreography. I’d prefer that over a lackluster concert, which is why I’ve been hesitant to spend on some of my favorite artists who’ve toured in Toronto.
