Singer Kelly Khumalo's vocals cannot be faulted and people who went to her sold out one-woman show in Johannesburg on Thursday night will concur, the show was lit but there is room for improvement.
The Lyric Theatre in Gold Reef City, Johannesburg was abuzz with excited music lovers all ready to witness the "Goddess of Light", as Kelly calls herself. Despite things that were probably not her responsibility like hospitality, punctuality or delays between performances, the show was amazing.
Kelly began her set with a powerful gospel medley introduced by a voice over from her detailing how she wouldn't have made it without God. She stepped out in white and belted the traditional hymns with the backing of a choir dressed in white.
Truly the entertainer, Kelly had fans on an emotional roller coaster as they danced, sang, cried and laughed with her from the beginning to the end.
It was particularly a special moment when her children came on stage.
Her son, Christian - who has a striking resemblance to his father and rapper Jub Jub -stole the show as he blew kisses to the audience. Her daughter, Thingo looked uber cute in a pink tutu skirt and wanted to sing with her mother.
There was pure silence as Kelly recalled her last moments with slain goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa. Leaving many in tears as she herself cried.
In the end, the show was really beautiful, proving once again that Kelly is an unmatched vocalist.
