FLAMINGO BOSS DEFENDS BRAXTON'S VEGAS GIG

Nevada hotel tycoon DON MARRANDINO has leaped the defence of his new singing headliner TONI BRAXTON, after a negative response to her first week performing at the Flamingo Las Vegas. The R+B beauty's Revealed show opened at the hotel and casino resort on 3 August (06), but it has failed to impress critics. Las Vegas Review Journal's MIKE WEATHERFORD writes, "The debut was nothing short of a train wreck... Viewers complained the song lyrics were inaudible and the singer failed to project her likable personality onto the rigidly choreographed affair." However Flamingo president Marrandino insists it is still early days and Vegas success CELINE DION also started off uneasily at the Coliseum in Caesar's Palace three years ago (03). He says, "We took a ballsy move, but I think we have a winner. A month from now, it's going to be something special. "She shut it (her chart career) down to be a mother. She's trying to learn how to be a Las Vegas entertainer, and it's a hell of a lot different. "We're working on lighting, sound, song sequencing. Her fans love it. Critics would say it's not 'Vegasized' enough. It's going to get there."

I went to see the show in the first week while and Vegas and I think she did well. I don't know what they were talking about with the sound but it was great to me. She did all the songs I loved and even came into the audience and we were able to take pictures during the show. People need to stop critizing others efforts and concentrate on the positive and not be negative.

The Boss is correct. Short notice, and still quite impessive. And yes, how soon we can sometimes forget, Celine Dion had a slow start, in sports, even Michael Jordan was not the star @ first that he became a short time later, and other artists, actors doing bit parts in the beginning, honing their craft, and becomeing big stars. Few sing as well as these self-styled singers, such as Toni, Celine, Mariah, and a select few others. We know many others are enhanced and tweaked in the studio or stage sound system, but if it's packages right, what the heck. But for "All That", refer to the Toni's, Celines, and those other select few. And regarding her "comments"; (I have not confirmed them) I venture to say, that her character, work ethic, talent and stage performance is as trusting, sincere, disciplined, multi-talented, and bigger-than-life entertainment worthy of Vegas and other venues, as it was globally, as it was in 1995 when I first met her, AS IT IS TODAY.
