Last night, I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Keyshia live once again. The show was amazing and Keysh looked beautiful. She ran through a lengthy set list and was on stage for about an hour. The highlight of the night was when she made two very exciting announcements. As we already know, Keyshia has been in talks to tour with Lil Wayne, and last night she officially confirmed it to a sold out crowd in Buffalo NY! Keyshia also stated that she had just wrapped up a brand new song with Wayne in NYC. Of the song, she stated “Its fire.” If you ever have the opportunity to see her live, check Keyshia out because she will not disappoint. Click here to view a larger version of the picture above.

In other news, “Heaven Sent” is currently sitting at #3 on the Billboard R&B charts after ONLY 8 weeks. This is a promising chart position and definitely holds the potential to be Keyshia’s third number one single. Support Keyshia by requesting the song on your local radio stations, or by buying the single via iTunes.

MTV caught up with Keyshia and Lil Wayne this week to discuss possible tour rumors.

Wayne stated, “I think I might go out with Keyshia Cole. You’re bringing two different types of people in there. You got people coming to soothe their souls with Keyshia, and you got people who wanna throw their hands up with me. It’s like listening to the radio. I think a concert should be like listening to the radio. When you listen to the radio, and your top-five or top-eight songs come on, it’s hip-hop, it’s R&B. … I think you gonna get that from me and Keyshia and whatever in between that.”

“I’mma kidnap him and take him on tour with me,” Cole told us Thursday, on the set of the new Game video, ‘Pain.’ “I think it’s a little harder to get him on the stage than it is to get me,” she smiled. “We gotta make sure we get together on that.”             MTV News Thank you to MIMS of the OK Forums for posting!

Here’s a review of Keyshia Cole’s performance at a ATL show, thanks to RoJay from Middle Child Promotions for sending it in:

What’s good? I just wanted to drop in and let you know I went to see Keyshia Thursday night in Atlanta and I really enjoyed her the most of the entire concert. She was fly as fuck in her silver space outfit. lol…Naw, but for real she was rocking a silver short set with knee high boots, super blonde hair and definitely doing her steps. She added two extra back up dancers from last I saw her, giving her a total of four male dancers, her two female backup singers, a full band and props that included a park bench, street lights and a phone booth. Here is her setlist.

Intro w/ Didn’t I Tell You
Shoulda Let You Go (Amina came out to do her rap but was clearly lippin and messed up horribly because her vocals were going and she started to soon, turned back to walk off stage and then realized it was going and she returned. I just don’t see her doing well as an artist.)
Just Want It To Be Over
I Shoulda Cheated
Give It Up To Me
Just Like You
I Changed My Mind
I Remember
Love
Last Night
Let It Go w/ suprise guest Missy Elliott. (Missy got so excited she almost forgot her part and even announced it….”When the song come on in….I done forgot the words.” *laughs*)

I really enjoyed her and if fans haven’t seen her yet, please check her out! I’ve included pictures of Missy joining her onstage (this was of course after Keyshia had removed her jacket.) and Monica with her backstage!
