DOMINIC BROWN ROCKS THE CROWD!
Fans are cheering as the Dj announces Dominic's name. "Make some noise for Dominiccccccc Brownnnnnn!" A few moments later, the lights dim low and the building is completely dark. The audience is waiting in anticipation to see what is going to happen next and after another minute has past purple and black lights up the stage. Three people are standing still on the stage wearing mask. A spotlight shines on the one in the middle and the fans scream as they recognize that its Dominic. Moments later music starts playing and Dominic and his dancers start freestyle dancing.
Once their done dancing, the music stops and they take off their maskes. Dominic throws his into the crowd and some screaming fans fight over it. He smiles and says "Yo Los Angeles! Yall ready to have some fun?" The crowd cheers and Dominic smiles again and says "Leggoooooo!" The DJ behind him switches the music to "Dance With You". Dominic starts singing the first verse.
All up in this club
Trynna find a sexy girl
To dance with
Shawty over there eying me
I can tell she wanna
Come home with me
But tonight I just wanna dance
As the song leads into the Pre-chorus and chorus, Dominic makes his way over to some fans in the front row. As he sings, he puts his hands out to shake their hands and the girls scream loudly in return. Dominic sings the chorus as Isabel's voice can be heard in the background on the track.
I’m just trynna keep it real
Hope you feelin me
Cuz I just wanna dance yeah
I wanna dance with you(8x)
Dominic finishes up the chorus and the dj switches the music to "One Night". The crowd cheers louder indicator that this is one of their favorite songs. Realizing this as well, he smiles and hold the mic up to sing the verse first.
The first time I saw you
I knew that I had to make you mine
From your beautiful face to your pretty brown eyes
But you sayin that we can't ever be
Without even takin the time out to kno the real me
(oh oh oh oh girl)
I bet you got it in your head
That all I care about is dem girls and gettin this bread
You thinkin that I'm just trynna play you
Dats not tru cuz I really love you
(Why you actin this way?)
After finishing the first verse, Dominic goes back to dance with the other two dancers as he sings the pre-chorus.
Is it cuz of the age difference?
(I hope not)
Is it cuz I'm conceited?
(I'm trynna stop)
Is it cuz of the flirtin?
(Not my fault)
Is it cuz I'm so crazy?
(Who's not)
The chorus is about to approach so Dominic says into the mic, "Let me hear u sing the chorus!" He steps closer to the edge of the stage and holds the mic out to the audience. The crowd sings the chorus loudly with Dominic helping out a little bit. Yellow fog can be seen on stage, making the stage light up with colors of yellow, black, and purple. His dancers are off to his right dancing and hyping up the crowd.
Gimme one night (one night)
To prove to you what I’m all about
Gimme one night (one night)
I promise you wont have any doubts
Gimme one night (one night)
[2x]
Dominic harmonizes on the last "Gimme one night" part of the chorus. Once he's done, he says into the mic "iight lets slow it down a bit." The dancers exit off the stage and the dj switches the music up to "Thank You". He stands in the center of the stage with a the spotlight shinning down on him. Dominic is sweating and tired but manages to keep it all together as he sings the first verse to the song.
Growing up I always had this anger inside of me
Neva could understand how my mother couldn't love me
Wanted her love so much that I was willing to give it up
But who am I fooling I know that I couldn't give it up
My older sister always there to surround me
Telling me to get over all the pain around me
Took awhile for me to see what I was giving up
But thank you for believing in me instead of giving up
(Ohhhhhhhh)
As Dominic continues into the pre-chorus and chorus, he starts to sing with even more emotion. The crowd is singing along with him and holding up their phones to take pictures and record the show.
You were the one that saved me
If it weren't for you I don't know where I be
You dragged me out of depression and sorrow
So that I could see a brighter tomorrow
(for that)
I just wanna thank you from the bottom
(of my heart)
For not allowing my broken heart
(to far apart)
Not enough words in the world that
(could ever repay)
The love you give and show me each
(and every day)
Dominic finishes up the last part of the chorus and the audience is blown away by the emotion that's in his voice. They start to cheer and he smiles. He hold his mic up and says "Dis next song I'm bout to do is my next single thats bout to be released. Imma sing a lil bit of it tonight just for u LA. U ready? " The crowd screams in excitement and the dj starts playing the music to "Black Heart". The lights in the on stage dim down and a spotlight once again shines down only on Dominic.
Sittin here thinking how the hell I let her fool me
Into lovin and buying her everything she wanted
My homies steady warning me not to trust her
But I was so wrapped in her love that I didn't see
That she had a secret motive from the start
I gave her my all yet she played with my heart (yeah)
She didn't give a damn about me at all
That's why she would never return my calls (yeah)
She only cared about taking my money
And being with other guys when I was gone (yeah)
As the chorus approaches, the same dancers from before return to the stage. Dominic joins them as he dances and sings the chorus. As he's dancing, his hat falls off to the side of him. The crowd is swaying back and forth as they listen to their other favorite song off the album. White foggy smoke can be seen on the stage along with purple, red, black, and yellow lights across the stage.
If you think that you can changer her
Then you wasting your time
Cus she don't love no one
All she wants is your mind
To control you and take all your money
That’s why I call her
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
The girl with the black heart
Oh oh oh yeah
Dominic harmonizes on the last note of the chorus. Once he's finished the crowd goes crazy and Dominic says into the mic, "Thank U LA!" He smiles and shakes a few hands. Some girls try to grab him but the security guards push them back. Dominic can hear his name being chanted and smiles one last time before walking off to head back stage.

Chloe Hits The Stage!
Coming fresh off of a #1 single, Liberation, singer/rapper Chloe brings her A game to Tisha Jackson's huge History Tour. The crowd is massive, for one, and crazy for another and many of the fans inside the audience happen to be big Chloe fans too, and with this the stage set up for Chloe is to perfection, its looks very elaborate with lights and other accessories.
When an interlude of the singer comes up, an interlude of Chloe in front of a huge music stereo and it rising up her body until it hits her face. Chloe (in the video) smiles and says COME ON! Automatically from the start of the interlude the fans start cheering loudly as the lights cut off and theatrics are seen before Chloe appears on stage with backup dancers. Chloe's massive hit W.T.F and most notable song to date starts playing with a video featuring Miss Vanity video behind just sends the crowd in a frenzy as Chloe starts singing the massive hit and it fits perfectly for the start of the set list since the crowd is very amped up.
The next song, also very known and a crowd lover, Grand Theft Auto charges onto the PA system and Chloe slick fully goes up the crowd rapping the song to them and singing as well, with Tisha's soaring vocals are heard on the track, getting the crowd even more crazy. Chloe sings the song to the end and at the end of it, takes a few minutes to talk to the crowd and greet them, and thank them for coming out to see her and the beautiful Tisha Jackson, with this time, she also takes time to introduce her next song, which is Cupids Twin. Her debut single that gave her her first top 5 hit reaching at #3 on the charts. The crowd really loves this one and the words are sang throughout the entire song.
Next, we have Chloe slow things down, the massive crowd is still buzzing from the previous song and Chloe takes a spot in the middle of the stage, and sits on the large steps going upward her band members are seen, the lights go on Chloe as she starts singing the beautiful Soul Ballad Butterfly. Her vocals are precise and some of the serious Chloe fans in the crowd sang.
Continuing on the Setlist full of hits, Chloe sings her way through He's Gonna Cry a sleeper hit which was looked to be a promo single but when it went to #2 on charts, it was quickly recognized as single from her debut album. She sings I Got Soul another Soul/Pop/Hiphop track from her album, she has a costume change after the track for Catch Me, and another memorable song of hers, the relentless rap smash Tales From The Crazy Mouth which contains elements in the mix from her song 'Losing My Religion'.
After that, she slows things back down again and shows us her instrumental talents as she brings out the keyboard for the song Keyboard Occasion and this looks to be a favorite of the crowds too, even though it wasn't released as a single. The crowd claps along as Chloe sings this one through beautifully working the keyboard.
Finally after the lights go off for merely 35 seconds. Chloe is seen at the top of the stage above the steps rising all the way to where she is as two violinists stand by her side and three tenor drummers at the lower level as her final, and most popular song on the radio right off her hotly anticipated next album The Saga...Continues.
A wonderful, head pounding live version following a duo of the beginning of the track by the violists with Chloe doing a solo dance is followed by the chorus unleashing with the tenor drummers , dancers and Chloe singing giving a mixture and variety of music that looks (and sounds) amazing together. The crowd is going wild as Chloe sings and dances to the end of the performance before giving a big end running to the front of the stage and finishing off the songs putting her hands in the crowd until the song comes to an end. Chloe says thank you again and tells the crowd they were f*cking awesome and to look out for her new album and a backdrop pyro action behind her as the crowd cheers loudly!

AND NOW, TISHA JACKSON SETS IT ON FIRE!
[size=6]
There is a beautiful group of people mingling and mixing together. Music is playing as they patiently await the proclaimed, “Princess of R&B/Pop”. The Los Angeles Staples Center is jammed-packed, completely sold out. Not one seat is empty. The crowd just got a quench of thirst with amazing performers opening up for Tisha. Comedian/Late-Night Talk Show Host, Jake Wilson had the crowd laughing hysterically with his outtakes on his life, pop culture, and occurrences in society. Dominic Brown got the crowd pumped up with his set. Singing a collection of songs off his debut album he held it down. And plus the ladies love him. Chloe gave the crowd her all with an extremely energetic exciting performance. Now the crowd patiently await the “full course meal” of you will.
As the crowd begins to get a bit restless, the arena completely turns black. The curtains covering the stage that say, Revealing History: The Past, The Present, & Future, finally roll back. The crowd begins to go ramped. People begin screaming YES! And they begin yelling TISHA! A screen covers most of the entire stage. On the screen a black and white picture of Tisha appears. The screen then shows a quote accompanied by audio of Tisha reading the quote written by her.
“Passion is a part of life. For if you’re not passionate about things, how are you passionate about life? I love what I do. Every ounce of it. It makes me happy. The greatest thing I am passionate about is you guys, my fans. I do everything for you. I just want to make you guys proud! I feel like we are a movement, a positive one at that. Positivity is something I strive for greatly in this life. For if we aren’t positive, then what do we have to smile or find joy about? I just want to make History. I’m shedding the layers that cover me each day for you. I want to be stripped of all things. For if one isn’t stripped, How will anyone ever know the real them. Haha. Yeah that’s right I’ll strip for you. This feeling I have right now is truly overwhelming, and I am so excited and proud to spend my time with you. All for love and love for all.”
The black and white picture then turns to color.
The screen then begins to play video footage of speakers lined up on each other. The speakers then begin to beat like a racing heartbeat. The speakers bass begin to throb and then Tisha’s, “The Celebration Has Come” plays. The heartbeat sound coming from the speakers begins to become unbearable. Then Tisha pops out of the speakers and pieces of it shatters everywhere. The footage begins to show Tisha dancing to “The Celebration Has Come” and HEAVY white lights begin to flash all over the stage and all over the arena. As Tisha dances on the footage, and the song plays, and the lights flash everywhere, a countdown begins to start on the screen. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Tisha then rolls out on stage. The crowd begins to lose their minds. The Screaming becomes excessive. Tisha stands there with a light shining on her and no lights or music playing yet. She stands there in silence with her hands on her hips dressed in a blue shortened trench coat, matching heels and her vivid red hair. Tisha looks at the crowd still in place. She then puts the microphone to her mouth and says, “LOS ANGELES, Tell me how you want it”? “Is this how you want it”? The drummer and saxophonist make a BOOMING noise as Tisha snaps her fingers and arms. “Or do you want it like this”? Tisha snaps her fingers and arms again as the band all together now make a BOOM! Tisha then says, “Or will do you want me to give it to you this way and she sways her hands and fingers leading along with the band as the make a BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Sound. The crowd really begins to lose it. They all scream YES! And begin screaming, TISHA! Tisha then begins to sing “That’s How You Want It”? As “That’s How You Want It?” She leads into a bunch of up-tempo’s some she is performing for the first time.
2. Love on Repeat
3. Intimacy
4. Clap! Clap! Clap!
5. Flashy Lights (Pose for the Camera)
Tisha sits next to her background singers and wipes the sweat off of her face after all that hard dancing. As they sit on lettered steps the crowd screams TISHA! Tisha says, “Now this is a part of the show where we sit down and slow it down for a bit! I just want to tell you, that all you guys look and sound beautiful tonight! I am so happy to be here with you. I love you guys. Tisha then begins talking about her next song giving hints. Now this next song was my first big record. It’s the record that made me what I am today. It was my first number 1. It’s nothing more exciting and liberating than that feeling. And I wrote this song by myself when I was a teenager because I was in love and every teenage girl feels this way in their adolescence. What more can I say, Tisha and her background singers begin to sing “Baby Come Kiss Me”. Tisha throws her towel out into the audience. A man in third row catches it and he begins to jump up and down blowing kisses at Tisha.
The slow songs continue when Tisha and her background singers sing some old hits like…
7. Pregnant Teen (Brave Young Girls)
8. Heartache from Loving You
The ballad then ends and Tisha and her background singers harmonize as her band closes her out. She puts her head down and the stage goes black once again.
Moments Later
The screen comes down again. This time it shows recent footage of Tisha in her hometown, New York City. The footage show clips of Tisha travelling the streets of Brooklyn, New York and going to her old hang out spots and her high school. Tisha then goes in depth details on how it was growing up in the city.
“Growing up in Brooklyn was a completely great experience. You know city kids are really head strong because we see things at an early age. But I appreciate growing up in a city that is so cultured. It’s truly like no place I’ve ever been. And I am most proud to still call it my home. However you can lose yourself in the city sometimes. That’s why it’s great to have places to escape to because it can become a bit overwhelming at times. But I just feel that the reason for me being a artist is partially because of my background growing up in New York City.
WELCOME TO BROOKLYN SKIT
The screen rolls up and Tisha rolls out on set similar to the way Brooklyn is designed. There are Brownstone’s, artistic graffiti on buildings, a subway station and a corner store all on the stage. Tisha appears in the brownstone window and begins arguing with one of her male background dancers. She says..
“You know what, I’m really getting tired of this. It’s the same thing over and over. You come in late. You don’t call to at least let me know you are okay! You don’t respect me at all!
Background dancer: What you mean, I show you nothing but respect? (He pushes up on her)
Tisha pushes him off her and laughs and says, “Respect, I guess respect is coming in a quarter to 4 every morning. Yes! That’s respect. You are no good. But I know what I have to do. I’m gonna have to have a curtain call on you boy.” Tisha then pushes him out of her “apartment” on the set on the stage. They walk off the set and onto the main stage and Tisha begins to sing “CURTAIN CALL” to her dancer, giving an example of a bad relationship that should be ended.
Tisha begins to sing an old hit called, “6 o’clock (Brooklyn Blues). The song is an R&B jazz number so Tisha goes to the upper stage and playfully dances with her band. She stands on the piano and dances for a while. Then she jumps off the piano and rocks out with her guitarist and followed by her saxophonist.
Tisha then begins to dance with her back-up dancers while performing a medley
11. *New York Boy
*Déjà vu
12. So Dumb
Tisha slows it down and sings a huge ballad, a fan favorite called “Stay The Night”. The crowd goes from 100 to 1000x because she hasn’t performed this song in so long.
Tisha then does another skit with a backup dance performing a new track called “Tears & Fears”. The track is about domestic violence. All the female backup dancers play victim of domestic violence and the male backup dancers play the abusive boyfriend. The performance becomes really emotional as they dance in an artistic, creative way. Telling a story of an abusive relationship. Finally Tisha and the her female dancers stand up to the male dancers and begin to retaliate.
15. Deep Inside
The screen goes to back again as the crowd roars!
Tisha is in an all back suit with bare underneath her suit jacket and hat titled to the side. She sings..
16. I Get Lonley
17. Between Me & U (Interlude)
Tisha stand stills on stage. The crowd screams TISHA! TISHA! TISHA! She stands still as “dancing” poles come down to the stage. She and her female dancers begin to whisper to each other. She then points to a guy in the audience. Guards grab the guy and lead him on the steps of the stage to the dancers. There Tisha waits as the dancers sit him down. They tie him up in a rope. Then “Silk Sheets (Rose Petals)” plays. Tisha and her dancers blindfold themselves and dance on the pole for the fan. Moments later Tisha and her dancers take off the blindfolds and Tisha jumps on top of the guy. She begins to sensually kiss the guys cheek. She then puts her face closer to his. And he begins to moan “AAAAAHHH”. Tisha climbs on top off him and begins to grind slowly up and down, side to side on him and they exit the stage.
Tisha then comes back on stage in the same ensemble and performs (along with back up dancers) …
19. Mr. Heartbraker
20. Blind Till’ it’s Gone
The stage turns black again.
Moments Later
Tisha comes on stage in an elegant yellow gown dripped in jewels. Her hair is down. She begins to perform an old gospel-hit of hers called, “Send Me An Angel”.
Tisha then looks at the audience as they cheer. She says, “Now this next song is a cover. It is a song that I have grown to love. I heard it all the time when I was a little girl but I didn’t understand the meaning of it. But now I do and I love this song. It’s a song that I believe all people should love, it shows humanity. She begins to sing “When you need me call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far don’t worry baby”. Then Dominic Brown walks behind her on the stage and he sings, “Just call out my name, I’ll be there in a hurry, you don’t have to worry. And they begin to sing “AIN’T NO MOUTNATIN HIGH ENOUGH” Originally recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tami Terrell. The crowd chants along with them. Dominic grabs Tisha’s hand and she grabs his. She then says, “Give it up for Dominic Brown everybody!”
Tisha then covers Drake’s “Marvin’s Room”
The stage turns black.
Moments Later
Tisha comes on stage in a new ensemble. She walks off the stage and walks through the crowds. She shakes hands, gives hugs, and take pictures with a couple of fans accompanied by fans as she sings “All Over The World”.
25. Medley
*History
*Living the Life
26. Thank you Lord (For Bringing Me through the Pain)
27. Good Woman Down
Tisha her dancers, background singers, band-members then take a bow holding hands together. Tisha then says, “I wanna thank you guys for coming out tonight! I am so happy to see you guys. I hope you had a great time. Please, please, please get home safely! I hope you guys enjoyed the show! I love you. Tisha then waves goodbye to each section off the audience and walks swiftly off stage. Edited by user 20 November 2011 05:13:06(UTC)
