They Should Open For Amy Winehouse
Filed under: Music Minute > Wacky, Tacky & True > AustraliasticOn Saturday, hasbeen R&B jammers K-Ci and JoJo gave fans in Australia an utterly crackalicious performance.
Perezcious reader Jordan was there and here's his eyewitness account:
So last night some friends and I went to see a Jodeci "reunion tour" at the Enmore theater in Sydney. Mate, the whole thing was a disaster. First, one of the guys (Devante I think) didn't even show up, so it became a K-ci and JoJo concert. JoJo came on stage and right away you could tell he was messed right up- he kept forgetting the words to songs and just was a general weirdo. But then, after about 40 minutes into the "show" he decided to sit right down on the floor. His brother, the other crackhead K-ci was trying his best to carry the show on his own. By far, the best part of the evening was when JoJo walked off stage for about 5 minutes, then came back out to sing "All My Life"- and PASSED OUT mid song. His brother told the audience that they were tired after their 24-hour flight and that JoJo had gotten dizzy.
Lucky for us the passing out was captured on video!
Click here to check it out (about a minute fifty in)!!!
It rivals anything Wino's done on stage!!!
LOL!
Im hate to say it but this made me laugh. Not because the guy passed out but I thought the fat guy was coming to help him but he just picks up the mic and leaves! WTF?
OMG - and they just let him lay there, face first on the stage - Awesome!!!!
Thank you to whoever caught that on video! Hahaha! That is hilarious! I love how the stage hand took away the mic but left him passed out on the stage! Wow! They really should be part of Amy Winehouse's Wasted Talent Tour!
Ok let's clear up a few things:
1) NOT lip synching. When you get to the point in the song where the lyrics should start (i.e. "I will never find another lover…"), the only voices you hear singing are the crowds. That indicates that they were singing to a recorded track with backing vocals. I mean.. there was no one on the stage, you think they were gonna actually PAY background singers when they didn't even pay for a band? *lol*
2) One-hit wonders? They were in Jodeci. C'mon now…
3) I don't think it was 'staged', but I think it was ridiculous, no matter what caused it. He hit the ground on his back, then was conscious enough to ROLL OVER to his front? Whatever…
It's pathetic no matter how you look at it, though.
Wow, that was unbelievable. I sure hope that was a free concert! Who in their right minds would pay to see that?!
you would think after all these years they would have learned…were in a recession they're hurting for money and look how they act….
this is really unprofessional
Crack or not if your physically not in shape you can pass out.singing long winded songs can make u lightheaded like a mug.Just ask my girl Whitney or Mariah.
I am one of the biggest Jodeci fans out and just so happened to be at this concert.
Now, there are in fact 4 members in Jodeci and K-CI and Jojo are the singing members. Anyway, I was at the front of the stage and Jojo didn't look right the whole night. His eyes were rolling in the back if his head and he just looked dazed most of the time they were on stage.
I also had the privledge of heading backstage after the show immediately after all the shenanigans and Jojo was fine. An ambulance attended and checked him out for about 30 minutes, after that he was fine. Walking round chatting on the phone and smoking cigarettes. After that it was pretty much back to the Hilton hotel. No after party.
I was there too, unfortunately. I spent ofer $200 on tickets and travelled interstate to see my all time favourite band Jodeci. Information was not even given to ticket holders about the change in performance except online websites that day. No call, no email, no text, no mention by venue staff. Imagine my suprise when Jodeci came out as KC and JoJo! Showtime Touring are refusing to refund unhappy fans and will not even respond to complaints. Very poor form!
I guess Jojo needs to get money for crack from somewhere!
lmao funniest thing ive seen in a long time.
OMG! How fuckin' funny is that. Talk about "please don't stop the music."
My initial reaction was…"They listen to Jodeci in Australia? REALLY?"
pick him up man… omg lolz
SO funny that they just leave him there on the floor
