Boyz II Men - Windsor 2025 - 2 — Dan Savoie

The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor resonated with nostalgia and energy on March 14 as Boyz II Men returned to the venue, delivering a polished performance that blended their soulful classics with a diverse selection of cover songs. Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman, the trio behind some of R&B’s most memorable hits, showcased their enduring vocal abilities and engaging stage presence, earning enthusiastic applause throughout the evening.

From the outset, the trio established a smooth and lively tone, effortlessly transitioning between their own catalogue and tributes to artists who’ve influenced them. Early highlights included spirited renditions of Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” and heartfelt covers of 112’s “Cupid” and New Edition’s “Can You Stand the Rain,” each performed with sincerity and vocal precision.

Boyz II Men’s signature ballads provided emotional centrepieces throughout the concert. Songs such as “Water Runs Dry,” “On Bended Knee” and “Four Seasons of Loneliness” reminded the audience why the group’s harmonies remain beloved. Their voices blended seamlessly, creating moments of intimacy within the large venue, particularly during an impressive a cappella performance of “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.”

A mid-show medley demonstrated Boyz II Men’s versatility, as they confidently navigated diverse musical territory. The group offered respectful yet vibrant interpretations of Sam Cooke’s soulful anthem “A Change Is Gonna Come,” Lenny Kravitz’s energetic rocker “Are You Gonna Go My Way,” The Guess Who’s Canadian classic “American Woman,” Bruno Mars’s contemporary hit “Locked Out of Heaven” and Prince’s iconic power ballad “Purple Rain.” These selections highlighted not only their vocal flexibility but also their genuine appreciation for artists across genres.

The evening reached its emotional peak as Boyz II Men revisited two of their biggest hits: “I’ll Make Love to You” and “End of the Road.” Both songs elicited enthusiastic audience participation, with fans singing along passionately. The trio’s delivery was warm and confident, underscoring why these tracks continue to resonate decades after their initial release.

Closing with their breakthrough hit “Motownphilly,” Boyz II Men ended on an energetic note that had fans on their feet. The upbeat finale reinforced the group’s enduring appeal and celebrated their journey from Philadelphia teenagers to international stars. As they took their final bows, it was clear that Boyz II Men’s legacy remains strong—built upon timeless harmonies, genuine emotion and a lasting connection with their audience.
