Fan Reviews (February 22, 2018, "Follow Your Heart" concert at Feinstein's at the Nikko)
What a treat. I was only planning on staying for the first hour (I had a *very* early flight the next morning), but once Vandana appeared I became fixated and found myself unable to leave. I ended up staying for the entire performance. I sacrificed a few hours of sleep, but it was worth it! Vandana generously gives herself to her audience, 100%. The amount of hard work, hours of rehearsal, voice training... you can see it all (and hear it all) manifested on stage. She's a true consummate professional, and puts on a 5-star show. The songs, the audience banter, the class and elegance, the heart and emotion, the striking dress – her performance had it all. And Vandana's powerful voice, wow. This gifted woman has some SERIOUS pipes.
The controlled power of Vandana's voice is stunning. Her command of the stage and easy rapport with her audience are impressive. But when performing "One Moment in Time”, a song most identified with Whitney Houston, I have to confess, the hairs on the back of my neck broke into a happy dance as she made the song her own. She has all the tools to be a star of great magnitude.
This was our first time seeing Vandana perform and what an amazing show she delivered! She is incredibly talented, with a powerful and versatile voice covering a wide range of classic songs and musicals. Especially loved her rendition of Someone To Watch Over Me. Together with Ben, her amazing piano accompanist, it was a truly fun, intimate and elegant evening at the Nikko!
For this show I closed my eyes and listened to the beauty of Vandana's voice. Then I open my eyes to see her emotion as she sang. No wonder each note she sang brought me deeper and deeper into the great songs she performed!
