Ella Mai y LIZZIE BERCHIE

I saw her in Paris, France at the beginning of January in a sold out show. The only surprising downside was that she came alone without an opening act. However, she put on quite a show on her own with amazing energy, vocal ability and management. She took the time to explain a little bit of the songs' background without being too talkative. All the songs sounded the same as their studio versions, the only problem being the lack of some "important" songs' instrumental. I figured out it was probably because of the budget being small for her first solo tour. But that revealed to be fixed by this forever-giving and generous gale who sang snippets of those asked by the unsatisfied public acapalla at the end of the show. She then offered us (remember it was in a sold-out room of 500 people capacity) to all meet her ! Without much wait, most got in line to participate in this improvised free Meet and Greet. As she saw time was running out (the place was probably closing shortly after), she started making the interactions shorter. At the end, they told us to prepare our phones to at least get a memory selfie with her. Finally, her professional skills and unlimited kindness impressed me a hell lot. She's the first artist (and I've been to quite a number of shows before) that organized this gesture and shown so much respectful gentleness to her fans ! I hope she remains this humble and grateful throughout her career that can only grow bigger and bigger from now on. ♥
