Second edition of ‘I'm Every Woman' a smooth and soulful show
In total, 1,800 fans filled the venue, swept up by the electrifying vocal performances of the three leading ladies, who paid homage to some of the world's biggest pop, R&B and soul icons. The concert was a celebration of women and the impact of music's greatest divas.
