As I sit here having breakfast at 1.34 pm the song playing in the background is LIRA’s I’m a believer-and she has truly made a believer out of me. I am watching the DVD output of the show held on August 23 at carnival city (reviewed here). Wow! Such brilliant work! The quality of the DVD, the quality of the music, the enthusiasm, the energy- I usually avoid watching DVD of shows I have attended lest they change the memory I have constructed of the show. I was worried this was going to be the case in this instance- but I am sorely disappointed- because the output is so great! I’m reliving every second of that day! The way she just held those notes- High and LOW, without missing a beat! (Sorry Miss Patti- that practice really just drive me nuts)

I think the era of excellence is upon us- Bantu abamnyama let’s catch the Excellence train! Lira is at the helm- catch her if you can because she’s getting another SAMA award! Get this DVD if you did not go to the show- and get a second chance how it’s done. I tell you this is the best concert I have watched this year- Locally and internationally! And I have watched plenty!

Well done dear if you are reading this- I am proud to have you as my sista! You make mzantsi proud! I’m a believer!
