The Legends of Bad Boy Records defied the laws of science on Friday night when they took a theatre full of fans back to the thrilling days of the 1990s and all they needed was a little Faith to make it happen. 

Nostalgia filled the air as lovers took to their feet, closed their eyes, and raised their hands in praise of Bad Boy Records. Faith Evans, Ma$e, Carl Thomas, and Total took their fans back to the golden era of R&B music with back-to-back sets at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills.

The Legends of Bad Boy Tour, hosted by Diamond Productions, MS Productions, and Brothers Entertainment, gave lovers and friends a chance to let lose and dance all night, all while praising God in the process.

Nineties R&B group, Total, warmed the crowd up with a high-energy performance. The trio was missing its third member, Keisha Spivey, who later greeted the crowd. Pamela Long and Kima Raynor’s youthful appearance and rock-hard abs easily made fans believe that they had actually traveled back in time by 20 years, while performing some of their biggest hits like “Kissing You,” and “Can’t You See.”

Long and Raynor were like sugar and spice on stage. Long hopped around the entire venue, running through the audience in her belly-bearing ivory outfit and mohawk style haircut, as Raynor held the stage down in flashy 6-inch heels and a smile. Long made sure to thank Jesus before leaving the stage, which sparked a boom of praise from the audience and set the tone for the rest of the performers who were clearly not secular. 

Carl Thomas sang his heart out to “Summer Rain,” “Emotional” and “I Wish” before Ma$e took the stage and asked the crowd to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. The audience let out screams in agreement, swaying from side to side with their hands in the air. Men and women flooded the aisles during the former preacher’s set, as he effortlessly spat out rhymes in an all while outfit with gold chains and spike-encrusted pearl-white sneakers.

The main event, however, was Faith Evans, who topped off the spiritual experience and even led a man to abandon his crutches as he raced to the front of the stage to shake hands with the R&B diva. Suddenly, he was healed. Evans, who is set to release a new album on November 24, floated across the stage while capturing the audience with her powerful vocals. “Faithfuls” sang every word to songs like “Never Gonna Let You Go,” as Evans stomped around the stage in black knee-high boots and a fire-red dress. Thomas joined the stage once again during a heart wrenching performance of “Can’t Believe,” truly making the night a family affair.

Evans invited fans to join her on stage for her final song, turning the set into a huge dance party. Nearly 25 fans joined her during “Love Like This,” to show off their moves and share the microphone with the singer, before she thanked God and the audience for her special night. 

Fans appeared to be on a natural high as they poured out of the auditorium with smiles from cheek to cheek. The Legends of Bad Boy Records sprinkled bits of faith and spirit all over the audience and one thing became clear- even Bad Boys need God.
