CONCERT PICS: CHAKA KHAN PERFORMS DURING ‘TASTE OF CHICAGO 2012′

July 16th, 2012

You can’t tell Chaka Khan anything since she lost all that weight. Check out the 59 year-old in her skimpy performance outfit this past weekend in Chicago. She played a number of her hits at the 32nd Annual Taste of Chicago festival. Youtube has a few grainy videos if you want to check them out..

    I know y’all about to go in on Chaka… yes she don’t need to be wearing that “shirt”. Yes she needs a bra on.. but she feelin’ herself right now so and deserves to let go a bit. She gets a pass. Sang girl!

      LOL! I know people get excited when they shed a bunch of pounds, but this isn’t the way to go- if you want to show how good your body looks, you wear clothing that’s age appropriate and that flatters your figure. Chaka got the game twisted!

      Isn’t it kind of rude to call a woman as old as Chaka the “B” word though? smh…

      Excuse me. Do not call Chaka Khan a “B”. And she does not need to sit down.

      This woman has been around for a long time, and has been blessed to make it far as she has. So lets focus on the positive, and love her for who she is inside. Long as we live, people will always have something negative to say no matter what.

    Okay Chaka, I love the weight loss; but that doesn’t mean that you wear whatever you want. Your breast are too big to go braless; not a good/classy look. Nothing wrong with looking sexy and wearing less if that’s what she wants to do; but do it with class. That who outfit looks VERY cheap!

    Aha!

    chaka khan has always been a very beautiful woman. she looks absolutely ravishing and on the bet awards, if she did’nt sashay that stage, doing her little signature dance. luv the red hair on her too, she is one of the few who can wear that shade of red. and, on top of that, her music is classic and timeless. y’all better recognize a diva and a legend when you see one.

    Agree @ CIRC1984, she looks great, but the girls need more support. I believe she had a lil surgical help especially on her stomach..where is the hanging skin?

    Chaka Khan has always been beautiful but she must be hanging out with Nikki Minaj to have that mess on.

    She looks good. The outfit is not the business at all, but seeing that she lost the weight naturally and is 60 years old she gets a pass.

    Chaka is a legend! A real sanger! She has created timeless music and most of the so-called singers out now should watch and learn. She’s earned the right to wear whatever the hell she wants to wear. Recognize true greatness when you see it!

    Look, Chaka Khan has always discarded rules and conventions, both as a singer, and with fashion….and thank god for that…I’m just waiting for her to loose a bit more and bring back the leathers and feathers that she pioneered in the 70′s.

    I mean she has earned the crown as the queen of Funk…do we really want demure, understated elegance from her? I think we should leave that to the queen of England.

    NO MA’AM
    Note to Chaka: the Queen of Soul is the ONLY one we give a pass to for not wearing a bra.

      BOTH of them should wear a bra…unless they are the queen of the jungle. No pass should be given for being classless..

    This outfit would have looked better if she had on the proper under garments. Chaka is oldschool and she knows a classy woman has proper under garments..The outfit would have look funky and fun,like her personality..But instead it looks cheap and funky because she tried to make it something it was not ment to be… Overtheshouldersbolderholder are a must. This wasn’t meant to be an off the shoulders dress,Chaka made it one! LOL I hope she doesn’t let all the “you got it girl” “Sixty is the new twenty”,”You’re giving these young girls a run for their money”,go to her head..I just pray. Lets see…

    Chaka is from a time when women were burning their bras as a feminist statement. She is also from a time when musical performance artists were not created, and mentored, and told what to wear by stylists, or concerned by what wanna be stylists on the internet had to say…Chaka is a true original. It will be a sad day in music hisory when Chaka khan tones t down or worries about classing up her stage wear.

      that’s false. During that time, some artists, if not most, were structure to look and sound a certain way during her time. But at the time, there were more talent then nontalent.

      She doesn’t have to tone it down… I grew up on Chaka, but I also know she wears bras..My question is why didn’t she this day.? I love her style of dressing. But like I stated,the outfit would look better with the proper under garment. There’s good,then better..,

    Yes, I guess that’s true about artists being molded into POP acts even back then. I guess it is Chaka’s resistance to this that makes me love her all the more. I’m not a singer, but I would Imagine too much harnessing would mess with ones breath…Yes, I personally agree that this outfit would look better, and flatter her body more with a bra….but I would NEVER get in the way of Chaka being Chaka.
