Comedian Jonathan Slocumb opened the show garnering lots of laughs from the audience before introducing the foursome, who came to the stage to a standing ovation. The ladies, all dressed in black, opened the show with the song "Love Don’t Love You" from their sophomore album, "Funky Divas," before following up with other hits like "My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)," "You Don’t Have to Worry" and "Lies."
After slowing it down to speak to the crowd about the divas who’ve inspired them like Diana Ross, Chaka Khan and Teena Marie, they proceeded to pay homage with a medley of old school tunes that brought the audience to its feet. With harmonizing vocals and coordinated dance moves to match, the seasoned singers belted out songs like "Got to Be Real," "Ring My Bell," "Respect," "Tell Me Something Good" and "Proud Mary."
