I LOVED the show. Jackie was so cute! I loved the last song she sang it was adorable!!!
I think David Foster was totally funny, but his guest Kenny G. was so boring and not cool!

Show did not fit it's billing. Where were all the "freinds" KennyG was an amazing "special
guest". I didn't enjoy at all listening to David Fosters "entertainment" about supporting
ex-wives. The Josh Groban sound alike was good and the female string quartet was good.
I will give David the benefit of the doubt that perhaps "friends" are hard to book near
New Years. Bottom Line. I came to see Jackie Evancho....I was not disappointed. She is
"angelic". Oh, by the way...Dr. Phil as an audience guest sucked. And the 2 audience
performers were excellent........what luck for the rest of us.

David Foster was funny. He is right in that he can not sing. LOL but he brought guest that could. Kenny G was ok but other friends of Foster that I would of rather seen. There were no stage decorations , not even a plant. That seemed strange for such an expensive concert.

Jackie sings like God's Littlest Angel, or at least what I would imagine that voice to sound like. She can lift you out of any despair, yet bring a tear of happiness to your eyes while doing it! She is so tiny, yet when she sings, her voice fills the heavens! What a gift she is for all of us! What a treat to finally see her in person! Here's to a long, properous career and life to this little cherub! She was accompanied by The Las Vegas Choir and what a DELIGHTFUL surprise they were! My wife talked to two of them before the show and how excited they were to have been selected to sing with Jackie!

Kenny G. was amazing (and funny)! I have not heard him sound this good in years! He really looked like he was enjoying himself and we felt it!

David Foster is the Master Showman of our time! His story telling journey taking us down memory lane regarding the many songs he has written made us sing, laugh, cry and appreciate the wonderful talent he is! His way of involving the audience is infectious and engaging! His knack of inviting talented people randomly from the audience to join him on stage is wonderful and his ability to relate to all cross sections of the audience from start to finish is a gift!

Overall it was a great show. I wish he had more guest.. The sound tech needs to be replaced as he messed up several times. Even David had to make a comment during the show. Was never overly impressed with Mandalay Bay event center for concerts. But regardless the show was a great one. Hearing Jackie Evancho sing is unbelievable. Such a voice from a little girl and having Kenny G as the guest was also enjoyable.

David Foster is so talented and funny. I had no idea that he had written and produced so many hits. Jackie and Cody are two wonderful young singers filled with potentials. Good to see David is actively searching and investing in young music talents.

Surprise guest Kenny G was a real treat.

My wife and I attended David Foster and Friends featuring Jackie Evancho on 12/29/11. Apparently, Jackie had a bad cold during the performance, but we thought that she was fantastic anyway--no one mentioned during the performance that she had a cold nor did I notice any perceptible effect on her performance. I'd give Jackie six stars and the rest of the show and the venue four stars (as discussed below) for an average of five stars. If Jackie was a sick as her tweets made her sound, she's clearly a real trouper in addition to being an incredible performer!

The other "friends" included tenor Cody Carey, who was very good--he did two solo songs and "The Prayer" duet with Jackie. Kenny G was apparently a late addition to the show and performed a couple of his more famous pieces. The Bella Electric Strings (an all-woman string quartet) performed briefly and also were part of the event's small orchestra. They were very good and wore some incredibly short sequined dresses. David Foster bantered with Jackie quite a bit--she was adorable and seemed very much at ease with David. He coaxed her into singing a few lines from Lady GaGa's "Poker Face". As other reviewers have noted, he did a "talent search" in the audience. A woman sang "Summertime" and a man sang Etta James' "At Last". Both were surprisingly good! David also told/played/sang the story of his music career as referenced to each of his marriages, which was interesting and entertaining. David also spent about five minutes talking with Dr. Phil, who was sitting in the front row of the audience and had the audience sing happy birthday to Dr. Phil's wife. I was ambivalent at best about the Dr. Phil interaction--it was five minutes of my life that I'll never get back, and I'd much rather have heard Jackie sing another song or two! Not to sound like a prude, but there was some gratuitous profanity throughout the show. The adults dropped one f-bomb and several s-bombs during the show. I wasn't necessarily offended, but I cringed on behalf of the numerous families that attended with their pre-tweens and tweens. Overall, I thought that keeping it G-rated might have been better.

I thought that the sound could have been better overall--it sounded at times more like a rock concert than a classical crossover concert. There was a small orchestra and what appeared to be a standard band. The band seemed to overwhelm the orchestra at times, and the music sometimes seemed to overpower Jackie. To me, there was way too much bass in the concert overall, and the keyboard was often very loud and seemed to be over-driven and harmonically distorted at times. There was also a choir that backed up Jackie for several songs. I thought their vocals could have been more subdued, and they entered and left the stage at apparently random times which I thought was distracting from the main attraction--Jackie. Also, as Jackie made her grand entrance for the first set while singing "Lovers", it appeared as if the sound guys forgot to turn her microphone on, as we didn't hear the first line of the song.

Overall, we had a reasonably good view of the stage from a distance in Section 209. We took binoculars, which were useful. They also had five or six big screens working, but two of the screens by the stage were partially blocked from our view by what appeared to be ventilation ducting or staging equipment installed near the ceiling. Be careful when buying your tickets for this venue if you're sitting in rows A-E in the upper tier of seats (the 200 sections). What appears to be an aisle and an empty space next to your seats is actually the stairwell from the entry tunnel, and you wind up sitting next to and looking through several railings that are installed to keep people from falling into the stairwell area (hope this makes sense). Once the show started, I really didn't notice the railings as much as I did before the show. We had stadium style seating, but it was not canted toward the stage, so we had to sit sideways or crane our necks at a 45 degree angle to view the stage. The floor seating appeared to be on one level and seemed to be pretty tightly spaced. We had to pass through metal detectors when entering the Event Center, and they did a cursory search of my wife's purse. Several videos of this concert have been posted on YouTube, but the ushers in our area were very aggressive about ensuring people were not taking videos of the event. The lady in front of me spent most of the show texting and checking her email on her iPhone, and the ushers checked on and spoke to her several times to make sure she wasn't taking videos, which was distracting and slightly annoying. Parking was free and easy in the Mandalay Bay parking garage, but there was a traffic jam leaving the garage after the event--we took our time leaving the Event Center and sat in the car for a few minutes to let the traffic subside. I'd say the Event Center was only half full for the show (David Foster said there were 5000 in attendance and the Event Center has a capacity of 12,000), so the traffic would probably be much worse for a sold out event.

Hope this helps if you're planning to attend a David Foster and Friends show at Mandalay Bay!

David Foster was friends featuring Jackie Evancho was spectacular. Everything from the orchestra to the audience participation. I was seen jackie on PBS shows but doesn't compare to in person. She is very talented and gifted. A real treat to see and here her live. Truly soul cleansing and uplifting. Thanks for coming to Vegas. Love to see it again in the future.

Very disappointing indeed, I was expecting more songs from Jackie and less from David and his friends, next time around, I would go to Jackie's concert only if she is the only performer.

The show was half an hour late, the background singers from Vegas were singing like they were singing two miles away. The surprised guest used inappropriate language during the show and given that it was a family oriented concert, there were lots of young and old audiences; I found foul language very unsavory. The show was about David rather than about Jackie. I thought it would be like the Saratosa Florida concert on PBS but it was not. It was about David Foster flattering himself. For Jackie's loyal fans, you don't miss a thing. Jackie performance was adorable and amazing. I will continue going to see Jackie concert everywhere I can butI would never go if David Foster is part of the show.

We had floor tickets but could not see the stage from our seats. Fortunately we were able to move to the cheaper seats in order to view the show. The guests were great, but we expected more performers. We had seen a previous show and felt it was better. Mandalay Bay Events Center is not a particularly good venue for acoustics. This was exacerbated by the inconsistent sound mixing. Kenny G, Cody Carey, and the performers from the audience gave great performances, but Miss Evancho's mellifluous voice and flawless execution was the highlight and saving of the show.
