3.0 out of 5 stars KIRK SAID IT BEST!, May 20, 2005

This review is from: Out The Box - The Movie (DVD)

When asked how he would describe Tonex's concert on the DVD, Kirk Franklin pretty much described it as a concert by an artist who happens to be a Christian. He said he wouldn't call it a Gospel concert and he was right! This NOT a Christo-centric performance! It focuses 90% of the energy on Tonex'! From the intro to the news clippings, to images embedded in the visuals of him as a Christ figure! If you are honest about it, it doesn't cause you to focus on Jesus, but on Tonex'! This concert is all about Tonex'. Having said that if you want a high energy performance from an artist who just happens to be Christian. You will enjoy it, because he is a gifted young man. I just do not view it as a Gospel concert or the so-called next level in praise and worship! Many have tried as Tonex' proclaims to take us to the next level, to make history. Trust me it won't happen unless you focus on His- Story! At the end of the day it's still all about Jesus, and in this performance you will find yourself searching for Him, because His-Story is buried beneath Tonex's desire to be the next great entertainer, the next Prince, or Micheal Jackson!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't Blown Away...But Still The Best Gospel DVD I've Seen, January 10, 2005

This review is from: Out The Box - The Movie (DVD)

Well, I finally saw the DVD, and I was impressed. I wasn't blown away as I expected, but I was impressed nonetheless. The best gospel DVD I've ever seen, in terms of innovation and energy. I thought that they could have showed the choir more though, because I only saw them in bits and pieces, and when they did show them it would be for a millisecond. But still, great DVD........


Favourite scenes:

Alive 1 & 2

Children's Bread

Taxi Overture/Taxi

Todos Juntos (Sheila E. is a MONSTER)

Make Me Over (Seeing it live was a whole new experience, as if I heard for the first time again)

Get it now if you don't have it, and don't be like the naysayers, nit-picking on every little detail. Just enjoy the DVD for what it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh my!, January 6, 2005

By 

NICO "nico" (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Out The Box - The Movie (DVD)

I consider myself to be the harshest of critics. As a musician and singer myself, I'm very particular about what products deserve my hard earned cash. Because of this I rely heavily on well thought out reviews and don't usually pay much attention to those hyped up fans who give 5 stars to everything! Thankfully, however, this time I completely ignored the unjustifiably negative reviews that I read and went out on a limb to get this DVD.
If there is anyone dithering over whether to get this or not... buy this without delay! Not only is Tonex an exceptionally great singer, writer, producer and musician (evidenced on the dvd), he is a great conceptualist and this dvd showcases this to the max. There is nothing like this at all in gospel music today. In all honesty, if there were more gospel music/live experiences like this around I would never buy another secular CD as long as I live! As it stands this isn't the case so I'll just have to store this among the other great music classics in my collection.

Well done Tonex!
