Chaka Khan

The result was a show so unsatisfying, people started walking out on her and had no problem saying so.

The “Sweet Thing” singer’s sour-ness went down in front of the crowd at the 13th annual Jazz in the Gardens show. Besides Chaka, this year’s lineup featured Anita Baker, Fantasia, Smokey Robinson, and more. And of course, with Chaka Khan being a legendary star, there was a lot of anticipation for her performance.

With that backdrop, it should come as no surprise that there is serious backlash on Twitter, with critics weighing in on her set and some even wielding accusations of drug or alcohol abuse.
