What!?

"What on earth is this mess? This DVD can't be a Chaka Khan product. Who authorized this to be representative of her rich legacy of timeless hits? If anyone wonders if Chaka Khan is ready for retirement, they may have their answer after just a few minutes into this set.



First, lets state the obvious, Chaka's voice and body are both SO out-of-shape here. It's hard to believe she'd just won GRAMMY AWARDS for her recent release 'FUNK THIS'? After hearing this LIVE CD, I'm saying 'FUNK THIS', I think the singing thing is over for Chaka. Acting or speaking may be in the cards?



To her credit, Chaka appears happy and in good spirits throughout the set, however, one would have to question her mental state to decide to go through with the recording and release of this dreck! This is, by far, the absolute worst production from Chaka Khan. I'm very dissapointed!





It's hard to imagine the intense 'I Feel For You' or the sultry 'Ain't Nobody' receiving nothing less than their due, when performed live, but Chaka manages to massacre both songs successfully...and it goes on from there. I felt horrible for the LIVE audience who had to witness this. I'm sure it was quite painful to hear and see Chaka is such bad shape.



If you can't already tell, my main disappointment is with the person(s) who decided to release this MESS to the public. Chaka, this one does nothing to celebrate your legend. I hope you can do better on future releases to render this one insignificant."

Really Bad

"Wow, this is a train wreck. Chaka Khans voice is nothing like it was when she recorded most of these classics. This really should not have been released. Chakas voice sounds terrible, and on one track she even looses her place in the song and stops singing to get her place back. We were on vacation and needed a CD to listen to, I figured you cant go wrong with these songs.... I WAS WRONG. At times Chaka sounds like a chain smoker coughing and hacking her way thru this music. Just play the original tracks, unless you like paying for garbage."

DO NOT BUY THIS UNAUTHORIZED ALBUM!!!!

"DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ALBUM!!!



This album is an UNAUTHORIZED duplication of a live show done by Chaka when she was not in her best voice. The reason it was not released by a reputable, well known label is because it is NOT, and was not approved by Chaka or her representatives.



To ensure that this label does not make ANY profit from this, PLEASE purchase her Grammy Award winning album "Funk This" instead.



Thank you!
