R&B superstar Keith Sweat, pioneer of new jack swing, reunites with other chart-topping R&B artists and opens the Sweat Hotel Live: starring Teddy Riley, Charlie Wilson, Jackie McGhee, Silk; featuring Lil' G, Kut Klose and Johnny Kemp; with special guest appearances by Monica, Akon, Da Brat and Athena Cage. With an array of talented entertainers on a single stage, Keith Sweat brings back the magic of some of the most memorable music recorded in R&B history to this new live CD.
"Keith has finally returned to the scene with a new label, new management and a new record. Was it worth the wait? Well, let's just say he's headed in the right direction after some misses albums.
The songs on "Hotel" are fairly good and very well-produced.
He brings back the magic of some of the most memorable music recorded in R&B history to this new live CD.
He has always been a producer's artist, so he needs direction in the studio to get a solid performance with his vocals. That's here, but there is no great single that makes her shine and really gets him back out there.
He sounds enthusiastic, but has too much help in the background, which sometimes drowns out his vocals.
Keith needs a pop hit to get back on top. Let's hope the next album delivers a hit.
Close....but no cigar.

Studio Albums/CD's Are Better than Sweater

"I like Keith, however, he is not a "live" singer - his voice is not cut out for singing live on stage - not every singer can sing outside of the recording studio - some can and some cannot, unless you are Janet/Madonna/Paula/Brittney and you are dancing most of the time you are on stage, if you get my drift. But, if you are a hardcore Keith Sweat fan, then, you will want to add this to your collection."
Most Def A Good Live Cd

"This disc started off very rough, Keith vocals were horrible on "I Want Her", I had to do a double take to make sure that it was actually Keith Singing, but he they manage to get somewhat better as the disc goes on. I guess his voice had to warm up? Charlie Wilson sounds fantastic on "Let's Chill" This CD brings back a lot of memories, classic Keith, but honestly, The studio version of his greatest hits is a better buy."
