S2E6 - Vegas Part 2 - Usher Residency

0:05 What up, guys, it's your girl Lady's finger and we are back with another episode of Jens and Tonic. So we told y'all we were heading to the Usher concert and we are here to let you know how it went, and white it went. Did we enjoy? Yes, we definitely enjoy. He definitely put on a show. You got your Usher dollars with the people. I should that making us. She was making a ring. The girls was doing their things. If I had real dollars, they would have got them. Shorty in the red was she in a red? The light skin? No, the light skin, thick girl with she was a dancer, she was more than a stripper. Let's let's get real. And she on the thickest one in the show, thickets one in the show. Yeah it was nice. Yeah, the dancers are what made the show for me.

1:19 I mean, don't get me wrong. Usher did his thing, but the dancers made the show for me. If it was just Usher, I would pass. But the dancers, they killed it. They brought energy, they brought personality, I mean, flexibility, acrobatics, what else they brought it off. If it would would have went without him like it was, it was a whole show it was a whole package, right, So he put together a great show, but they made it for me. That's my opinion.

2:08 That let's talk about our seats. So, guys, we were in the pit. I paid extra money to be in the pit, right, I'm old. So the stage is circular, part of the stage circular. No, the stage is circular. No, no, because we're in the middle of the circle. The stage is behind us. Then there was a circular stage and we were in between both. I think that's what I said. Um, okay, anyway, people, um over forty. I would like to have a seat and rest my feet. I would like to not do the um. I was influenced by a close friend to go for the pick. Yeah, well it was a few dollars more. I wanted my man to be up close to see an artist that he enjoys and be able

3:42 to see the sweat rip off of him. Hey boy, see if we see a sweat drip off him? So much so that I backed up quite a few times, not trying to have that sweat and drip on me. But that being said, all jokes aside, I'm not a fan of the pit. It wasn't horrible. I would have preferred to be sitting down. I felt like I was a part of the production by being in the pit. I saw when they were pulling things on and off the stage. I started, you know, the stage hands talking to each other, commuted, communicating with the dancers, communicating with each other, pulling the water out for us, You're putting the towels up for us. I didn't need to see all of that. It took a little bit away for me. No, No, think there was a point where I was staring at him into the actual production great, but there was a point where I was staring at all Black while he was up on the pedestal, when if I was on the front, I would have seen everything else. It's not a great place for to watch the show because a woman and you're looking this way, then next minute your churning around if here where where everybody at ship? So you're looking at and you're looking right. We've been sitting down the whole show, the full picture. So if that's what you want, and I think to thoroughly

5:13 enjoy the entire experience, you need to be over there, not in the pick. You need to pay for the vv vvv I P. Why bring you the food and the drinks and all that good stuff. The section up on the stage, I don't think it's worth it. He didn't even go over there for those people that paid what whatever, a little extra attention to those that were in the middle for a second or a second. Because the people that want every regular seat and got the got their time he went out there, they didn't get this close and personal, so up close and sweaty personal space. If you could do without the sweat, which I definitely could have done without the sweat because I had to fix my face. That we're seeing that, you have to appreciate the fact that he's going through all of that. Wow, the man was working. The man was working. Like you can see, he was like, this sweat is attacking me right now, chipping on all of his eyes, his eyes, and he was like, oh yeah. But he managed it well, like he's like, all right, well, I gotta keep going. I'm not gonna say it like Tito, bring me a towel. You know. He actually just kept going.

6:25 He did this thing. Yeah, he did this thing. It was definitely an entertaining show. Definitely entertaining, and the one kid that I thoroughly enjoyed the most. I was so upset because I was like, oh my gosh, are they not gonna do a little something where the dancers come out and get their shine. I could give him a high five, and my man Rob said, but they did that. That was when they showcased everybody. I was like, going on showcased everybody, put them on the screen, put their name on it. They were two people from Brooklyn. It wasbody from Flatbush but flap Bush. Yeah, and it was a check. She had brooken on her back. I know she really represented Brooklyn. She had broken on her back, so we're gonna take it. And she was Hella Nice. That was the light skin shorty with the braids. Don't know her name, but the person who held my attention with the energy, to personality everything. I can't tell his name right now, but I'm up this Aiden. But what was the last name? Oh my god, go follow Aiden unshers dances listen. I walked out where exit in the theater and put it. Yes, we'll put it up there. Aiden happened to be standing on my left and I did a full stop West Indian like, oh, what how you seeing some long type of thing. I pointed at the man and I was like, you you made the fucking show for me, and he was just like ah really and I'm like, dude, you killed it.

7:43 I'm lying, you know, oh my god, yes, like you he could have been the show. Again. The dancers are what made it for me. And when I said he brought the energy, the style, young dude, not then look that all whatever. They had all age groups up there, which was nice. I like, it was very all inclusive size, age, gender. It was nice. But this kid made the show for me. And the fact that I got to tell him that was very satisfactory for me, right, you know, I got to thank him, like thank you, and he was just he was very humble and I was like I need me yeah, and I'm like, nah, you did that as like you made my night. I'll show you did your thing.

8:31 But your dancer, Aiden, he is the fucking bob okay and all of that, all of that, all of that all right, well, I mean that pretty much wraps it up. Aiden was the show. Oh.

9:13 I wanted to say it was the whole show, but I mean, like Aiden, young girl with the braids, the professional you said, spers, they were professional, whole corrected brot enough, it's been that's been disrespecting these people on the pole because they were putting in work work, they did the thing. I was in awe. Yeah, I said it was a whole product. You won't see that. You saw that. It definitely was a whole and did the thing. I can't say enough about it, enough good things about it. You're saying you did a two start. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Yeah right, So that was our Ussher experience. Definitely.

10:11 If you're in Vegas, if you have time to get to Vegas, go check out his residen check out the Usher residency. Recommend it. I'll show you the good thing. Good job on the dancers, keep them, do not switch them out. Pay them. They deserve it. They're the bomb saw you put them dancers though. Yeah again, I don't know. The dancers were great, but you can't make a show without the performer ship and that's it. I should, Raymond, guy, what is it? You asked? Hill? All right, I am right, I should or something like that. You guys at us on our social yet that's and Gems and Tonic podcast. Hold on TikTok YouTube, Instagram, Yes Little.
