The FedExForum was buzzing Thursday night, Oct. 30, 2025, as four R&B queens — Brandy, Monica, Kelly Rowland and Mýa — lit up the stage for “The Boy Is Mine Tour.” It was a night that celebrated sisterhood, showmanship and the kind of timeless R&B that never fades.
Opening the show was none other than Mýa, who joined the tour on short notice after Muni Long was sidelined with pneumonia. Despite the last-minute call, Mýa didn’t just fill in. She owned the stage. Looking radiant and moving with the grace of a seasoned performer, she launched into a high-energy set that reminded the crowd why she remains an R&B favorite.
Her performance included hits that had fans out of their seats: “My Love Is Like Wo,” “Case of the Ex,” and the nostalgic “Take Me There.” Each song was delivered with confidence and pure vocal control, proving that having no rehearsal or sound check could not stop a true professional.
Kelly Rowland took the stage next and turned FedExForum into her personal playground. With poise and polish, she delivered a set that was equal parts sexy, soulful and empowering.
From the opening notes of “Motivation” to her chart-topping duet “Dilemma,” Kelly’s vocals soared. The crowd sang every word of “Like This” before she transitioned into a heartfelt Destiny’s Child medley featuring “Girl,” “Cater 2 U” and “Bad Habit.”
The segment was pure showmanship: smooth choreography, tight live vocals and undeniable confidence. By the end of her set, Kelly had the audience on their feet, proving yet again that she’s every bit the star she’s always been.
When the lights dimmed and the opening chords of “The Boy Is Mine” began, the arena erupted. Brandy and Monica, the song’s original duo and the heartbeat of this tour, appeared side by side in a moment that felt both sentimental and powerful.
Their chemistry radiated throughout the night as they alternated between solo sets and duets, blending vocal runs, storytelling and genuine camaraderie. Brandy, with her signature tone and effortless control, reminded fans of her unmatched artistry with songs like “Have You Ever?” and “Full Moon.” Monica, ever soulful and commanding, delivered emotional performances of “Angel of Mine” and “So Gone.”
Together, they performed a stunning tribute to the late Whitney Houston — a joint rendition of “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” that had the audience singing along, phones waving high. It was a fitting salute to the woman who influenced them both and helped shape the very era they now represent.
Throughout the night, “The Boy Is Mine Tour” felt less like a concert and more like a reunion, not just for the artists but for the fans who grew up with their music. Each performance flowed seamlessly into the next, balancing old and new energy.
When Brandy and Monica closed the night hand in hand, it was clear the crowd wasn’t just celebrating their music but their evolution.
