I’m a Day One JoJo fan. So much so that I bought her debut album the morning it came out at Target. The first time I went to New York City, I made sure to go to Times Square to see “Leave (Get Out)” playing on TRL. So over 20 years later, when I finally got to see her live, I have to say, it was worth the wait.

The Too Much To Say Tour follows her Broadway run playing Satine twice in Moulin Rogue! The Musical and becoming a New York Times best-selling author with her memoir Over The Influence. While the tour takes its name from a track of her latest EP, NGL, it’s really a celebration of her entire catalog. The setlist features songs from each of her studio albums. For instance, she opened the show with “Nobody” from NGL, but she followed it up with “Baby It’s You” from JoJo and “Like That” from The High Road.

JoJo has always been known for her vocals, and I’ve watched several of her live performances. (One that has been on repeat for years is this performance of “Thinking Out Loud.”) But to see her live is another experience. It’s just so rich. And the fact that it sounded as good at the top of the show as it did at the end of the show after an hour and a half of singing, dancing, and running across the stage is astounding.

JoJo ends the show with “Porcelain,” and the lryics have so much meaning with how much she, and her audience even, has been through and grown through. As the chorus (and my newly purchased hat from the merch stand) says, now she’s stronger than she’s ever been.

P.S. The encore was “Never Say Goodbye, which she shared was her favorite song off JoJo.
