This is the first time I've seen Five for Fighting in concert and the second time I've seen Angel Taylor in concert. I've listened to and really enjoyed Five for Fighting for quite some time so to see him in concert was just so amazing!! Angel Taylor is an amazing singer! I saw her when she came with Gavin Degraw for a very small venue with 105.1 the Buzz.

Great show and can't say enough good about it!!

Once again, John Ondrasik wowed us. His vocals, even with the hint of laryngytis, are beautiful, and his piano is out of this world! The Aladdin is a great venue...there are no bad seats, and the whole experience feels intimate.

Greetings,

John had lyringitis and was on steriods. He did well for being sick. Great singer/songwriter/storyteller.

Favorite moment: That would be when he played 65 Mustang, as I still have my 67 coupe from high school and this song epitomizes how I feel about my stang. @

Opening act(s): Angle Taylor, not so great. She did not introduce herself and talked like a "man-basher". Not impressed. @

I felt really bad for John as he was recovering from laryngitis and that could not have been very enjoyable experience for him. He sounded great though-was a dream come true to see him in concert. He is so good-better that his Cd's and of course his Cd's are great! I hadn't even heard of Angel Taylor so that was nice to be introduced to a new voice for me. She was great too. I had also not been to the Aladdin theater so that was a gas. Really liked the atmosphere and people I had interaction with both concert attendees and personnel working there. was a night to remember for a long time.

Let's put it this way...I've never been to a bad Five For Fighting show. Even this evening at Portland's Aladdin Theater, things could have gone awry. John was having issues with his voice because of laryngitis. But, he was a trouper and gave it his best shot. He may not have hit his usual high notes at all times...but he did for Superman! And, although his voice wasn't 100%, it was still just as sweet! John is always great with his stories, and tonight was no different. I've heard the same stories dozens of times, but they just keep getting better and better! John had the audience in stitches, myself included! Once you go to a Five For Fighting show, it will never be your last...you'll want to see John again and again and again! John has a LOT of loyal fans, for good reason! If you've never seen John Ondrasik perform live, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving him a shot. It will be a concert you'll never forget!

John Ondrasik is a very charismatic performer. He had the audience in the palm of his hand last evening - and managed amazingly well, despite laryngitis. Many musicians would have cancelled or postponed. Angel Taylor has a great voice and a very charming personality. This is a great opportunity for her. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening. I'll be there next time you're in Portland.

My girlfriend and I flew in from Denver to see the show and tour some Pinot vinyards this weekend.

When he started the concert and stated that he had been sick Monday and had to take steroids I was a bit worried that it was just bad timing and the show would suffer...

Happy to say he still hit it out of the ballpark!

Angel was a great pre-show as well. At only 21 years old she has a very bright future.

Despite having to cancel his show the night before due to laryngitis John put on a show we will never forget! if he didn't announce his health problems i don't think people would have known. Every song was a favorite - even the ones i hadn't heard yet.

Even with a tiny issue with his voice John Ondrasik didn't miss a beat or a note! He is funny, entertaining, simply an incredibly talented singer - song writer. The intimate setting of the Aladdin Theater was awesome and the acoustic performance was unforgetable.
