Background

Michelle announced the tour on May 17, 2016, through social media, describing it as a series of performances in support of More Issues Than Vogue. In her announcement, she told fans that she was ready to have fun on the tour and thanked them for their continued support.

The tour was associated with Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey, which served as a promotional partner. The tour included meet-and-greet opportunities and signings connected to the brand.

Concert synopsis

At the August 7 performance at the House of Blues in Houston, a voice addressed the audience as the lights dimmed, inviting concertgoers to take out their cameras and cellphones to take pictures. Michelle appeared in a sparkling bodysuit and thigh-high boots, accompanied by two female dancers, a keyboardist and a drummer. She later changed into a black romper with angular shoulders and black boots.

The set featured songs from More Issues Than Vogue, including "Mindful", "Not a Little Bit" and "Maybe I Should Call", alongside earlier material such as "Love 'Em All" and "Can't Raise a Man". Michelle also performed "Miss You, Goodbye" and "Cry", which gave her opportunities to showcase her vocals. During the performance, she spoke humorously to the audience about relationships and her expectations for a partner. She ended "F You", a song from her 2014 mixtape, with an image of Donald Trump and a raised middle finger, prompting cheers from much of the crowd.

Critical reception

The Houston, Texas performance received a positive review from Joey Guerra of the Houston Chronicle. Guerra described Michelle as a commanding and expressive vocalist, praising the emotional quality of her singing and her ability to reinterpret her recorded songs onstage. He highlighted "Love 'Em All" as an early standout, while noting the lyrical delivery of "Mindful", the audience participation during "Can't Raise a Man", and the vocal performances on "Miss You, Goodbye" and "Cry". Guerra also observed that the audience knew the songs throughout the performance and that Michelle's music remained accessible despite her lack of crossover success comparable to artists such as Mary J. Blige and Fantasia.
