BLACKsummers’night I’d keep it funky with the three already mentioned but if we can take it back, I’d like to hear:
Submerge: Til We Become The Sun
SuiteLady
Whenever Wherever Whatever
CocoCure
Everwanting: To Want You To Want

Well, from BlACKsummers’night, I would love to hear “Possum Playing”, “Stop the World”, “Help Somebody”. I was able to see him in concert a month ago and he sang “Bad Habits”, and “Cold” which are my other favorites from the new album. Wishfully hoping that he would please, please, please do “Drowndeep Hula” and “Lonely’s the Only” and “Submerge: Til We Become the Sun”

Lesley August 7th, 2009 at 3:50 pm

From the new Album, my top picks from Black would be;

Bad Habits
Stop the World
Help Somebody

Lesley August 7th, 2009 at 4:01 pm

I should also say that my hope is that he comes back to Vancouver – any idea when the Black tour schedule will be ironed out?

Favourite songs from previous albums;

Till the Cops Come Knockin’
For Lovers Only
Lifetime
Luxury: Cococure
W/as My Girl
Sumthin Sumthin
Know These Things: Shouldn’t You
Suite Theme
Urban Theme
Suitelady
Whenever Wherever Whatever
Fortunate
Women’s Work
Temporary Nite
Get to Know Ya
Ascension
Welcome

at this rate he’d have to sing for a lot longer than 1.5 hours…. :)

thelatestmaxwellnews August 7th, 2009 at 4:22 pm

@Calandra – Maxwell playing piano on stage. They’d have to wheel me out of the venue on a stretcher! But I’d love every minute of it!!!!!

Yes, I would love to hear him do Drowndeep Hula and Softly, Softly (Sweetback).

Bama_Gurl August 7th, 2009 at 4:32 pm

Well, I’ve heard ‘Cold’, ‘Stop The World’ (my fave!), and ‘Pretty Wings’ from the Summer Tour. I agree that since there are only 9 songs on the album, I’m pretty sure he’ll do almost all.

Fall Tour Picks:

BLACKsummers’night – “Fistful of Tears” and “Love You” (I can feel the emotions from that song, imagine how he’ll sing it LIVE!? It may even resurrect “Miss Pretty Wang” from her Possum Playing! ;) )

Throwbacks:

Reunion – UHS (I JUST heard this and it will be played at my wedding.. I know I’m late!)

Mellow Sumthin (The Hush) – MTV Unplugged

MsIndependent3340 August 7th, 2009 at 4:42 pm

From BLACK:

1. Help Somebody (the Band playing live would be BANANAS!!)
2. Stop the World

Oldies (but wonderful goodies):

1. Luxury:Cococure
2. Reunion
3. Temporary Night and Noone (would love to see him dance to these)
4. Gravity:Pushing to Pull

Ladyrapture1 August 7th, 2009 at 6:31 pm

Pretty Wings, Bad Habits, & Stop the World
I keep replaying those three. By the time he comes
to Chi-town I’ll have’em all memorized. :-)

Richelle August 7th, 2009 at 6:44 pm

From BLACK? Definitely open up with “Help Somebody” to get the crowd going…Love that song! Gotta go with “Phoenix Sunrise” to showcase the band because they rule!!!!! Last, slow the tempo with the sweet simplicity of “Playing Possum” which gives us a bit of acapella with a little guitar – HOT!

Personally, he can sing all 9 songs, then sing every song from Urban Hang Suite, Embrya, Lifetime, and the two from The Best Man Soundtrack “As My Girl” and “Let’s Not Play the Game”. Heck he can sing someone else’s song if he wants…Who cares? I just want the MAN to sing!!!!!

Richelle August 7th, 2009 at 6:47 pm

Oops! I meant the NOW cd and not Lifetime.

Jessica August 7th, 2009 at 7:03 pm

Hello,

If I had my way songs from BLACK would include:

Love You
Stop the World
Fist Full of Tears
Playing Possum

From the previous albums:

Drowndeep: Hula

OMG, I will never understand why more people do not talk about this song. It is pure FIRE !!!

Last but not least he can also sing, Softly Softly… And though I have heard him sing them all in concert (haven’t missed any of his concerts)Black is something special.
Can’t wait….

I have a question-
At first I was going to list the songs from BLACKsummers’night-
The way I would have liked if I had the choice or luck of seeing him perform-
Here’s the Question?
Is he also known as “BLACK”?-
They call my brother BLACK but his name is Sean-
I’m silly-Stay Blessed-

Vena August 8th, 2009 at 7:02 pm

I would like to hear “Stop The World, Playing Possum and Love You.” Max did not sing those when I saw him in concert this summer.

From “Embrya” I too would like to hear “Drowndeep Hoola.” I would also like to hear “Know These Things:Shouldn’t You.”
I think Maxwell’s listeners would appreciate hearing the band do “Phoenix Rise.”

Janice Clark August 8th, 2009 at 8:13 pm

I’m going with the flow. Whatever comes from Max’s mouth and played by his band is definitely find with me. He can sing and they can play for as long they like. The way they perform for the audience is AMAZING. Truely entertainment!!! I’m just waiting for the presale code for Detroit.

cc August 8th, 2009 at 9:34 pm

His unique signature intro “Musical Hang Suite” in the beginning, that just sends chills thru ya. then {Black with Cold. Fistful of Tears. Stop the World. (lots of “dancing” and his yoga moves) respectfully. Lastly but not final, Love You.} Got to do “No one else in the Room”. And a complete “Mello Smooth” serenade. “complete “Matrimony maybe you” with all the same moves from the matrimony video please. peace. P.S. anything from this Artist.

cc August 8th, 2009 at 9:52 pm

Again I read the question. But I hope what ever he sings, they always play his signature intro musical HANG SUITE and do the Welcome song, those two together are so cool. And anything from BLACK is AOK. And if only he would do “No one else in the Room”. And “Rocket Love” as a Bonus. (smile) Thanks for asking {smile} peace

Bilqis August 9th, 2009 at 7:03 am

From the black album I would love to hear Bad Habits, Fistful of Tears, Stop the World, Playing Possum. But I would really LOVE to hear, Welcome, Suite Lady, Drowndeep hula, Lock You up in love fa days, Softly Softly, No one, Let’s Not play the Game, Lifetime, Pushing to Pull, W/as my girl, Reunion, Mello Sumthin (the hush), Fortunate, Rocket Love, Ecstasy and I would be GOOD indefinitely!! ;)

Carmen Jones August 10th, 2009 at 7:20 pm

I saw him perform “Gravity: Pushing to Pull” in DC. That performance stands out in my head quite a bit. If I could get that performance along with “Submerge: Till We Become the Sun” and the entire BLACKsummer’snight cd would make me call 911 ’cause I’d have heart palpitations for hours on end.

Stephanie August 11th, 2009 at 8:48 am

I’d like for him to sing EVERYTHING from BLACKsummers’night but my absolute favorite is “Stop the World”! The whole album is very funky so I’m going to be grooving anyway. Also, I’d love to hear him sing “Playing Possum”. That song is so simple and he could really take his time to sing it beautifully. From his classics I’d like to hear:

Sumthin’ Sumthin’ (the mellosmoothe version)
‘Til the Cops Come Knockin’
Welcome
Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder)
This Woman’s Work
Matrimony
The Lady Suite

Illustrious03 August 11th, 2009 at 11:51 am

“(I can feel the emotions from that song, imagine how he’ll sing it LIVE!? It may even resurrect “Miss Pretty Wang” from her Possum Playing! )” <———– It better not. ;-) Just kidding… a little bit.

From BLACK:
Love You
Playing Possum
Phoenix Rise (Maxwell can dance for us while the band rocks out.)
Stop the World

I wish he'd just indulge us all and sing his whole dang catalog… and take requests. He could sing all of his favorite commercial jingles and I'd pay top dollar to see him do it. Le sigh.

Hotlikefire August 11th, 2009 at 9:08 pm

I’d happily give up $256.00 if he’d sing all of the following when he come to MSG.

In no particular order:

“Love You”(Oooh…if he would play piano…Mmmm..Mmmm.Mmmm)
“Know These Things: Shouldn’t You
“Gravity: Pushing to Pull”
“Drowndeep: Hula
(this song is AMAZING = LOTS of panties if he sings this!)
“For Lovers Only”
“Symptom Unknown”
“Temporary Nite”
“Mello: Sumthin(The Hush)
“Everwanting: to Want You To Want”
“Eachhour…”
“Know These Things: Shouldn’t You” (This is BANANAS!)
“Phoenix Rise”(HOTT)
“Gravity: Pushing to Pull”
“Submerge: Til We Become the Sun”
“Gotta Get: Closer”
“W/As My Girl”
“Lonely’s the Only Company (I&II)”
“Suitelady (The Proposal Jam)”
“Reunion”
“Welcome”
“Silently”
“Softly, Softly”
“Help Somebody” (Band would be insane!!!)
“Stop The World”
“Playing Possum”

+ All of the other goodies he nomally sings.
I’ve seen MY MAN 6 times and as recently as July and cannot wait to see him again!!

The Silken Blade August 12th, 2009 at 3:39 pm

Stop the World, Love You and Fist Full of Tears! I also hope to hear him do somthing from the upcoming album SUMMERS’

Truth be told, he could sing the Alphabet and I’d be happy!

Luv U Maxwell! Keep it coming!

allheavens September 7th, 2009 at 8:27 pm

My wish list:

Welcome – Loooove it!

Til’ The Cops Come Knocking – When I first heard this song on the radio, I damn near ran my car off the road.

Know These Things: Shouldn’t You – Oh my, oh my.

Stop the World – Stopped mine!

Fistful of Tears – Baby that’s ALL you need to throw.

For Lovers Only – “This ain’t for the war”, you listening America?

Whenever Wherever Whatever – Just so, so sweet.

Lifetime – “Love is not a fantasy in a melody”, complex romanticism anyone?

W/As My Girl – Simple, direct but when he sings it…damn!

Deep Down Hula – Pure undiluted desire.

Suitelady (The Proposal Jam) “It´s been so long since I´ve seen you and your chocolate legs wrapped around me”, need I say more. LOL

Gotta Get Closer – Nine Inch Nails’ song about sexual revenge but Max took it to Church!

Simply Beautiful/Fortunate – Hear that sound, panties dropping all over the world.

Silently – I just have to stop and listen, every time this song plays.

Softly, Softly – Just a beautifully constructed and executed song.

Playing Possum – Makes me cry.

Luxury: Cococure – What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man and that deep, throbbing bass line doesn’t hurt.

Ascension – Classic, one of the best bass lines ever written, period.

I can’t wait until October 12!
