"Fifth Element recently performed at my surprise birthday party. Everyone loved the music and Nina’s voice is a treat to listen to! The group is a perfect size for a house party and I highly recommend them!"
M.P.
"I would like to offer a resounding thank you to Nina and Dale for their outstanding end of summer performance. The residents of Delmanor Wynford were treated to an evening of smooth jazz and swinging standards. Dale’s solid musicianship along with Nina’s bright vocals provided an all-around fantastic atmosphere. It was a pleasure to have the two of you with us, and I look forward to our next meeting."
Sal Di Matteo, LivingWell Coordinator, Delmanor Wynford
"Thanks so much for your message and also for your wonderful performance last week. The residents were glowing in their feedback. We would love to have you back again."

"Now for the evening of vocals as a major part of the program of Big Band music: Nina, you were superb in voice and presentation skills with this vast selection of music. I would have enjoyed the many rehearsal sessions to appreciate all the exchange of ideas with the members of the Band. But the highlight of the evening for us was ..."All That Jazz". Outstanding vocals and presentation, Nina!"
Neil
"You make a lot of people happy when you sing - I can see/feel it! Xoxo"

"Nina, I have been at your gigs when you sang beautifully. But all that was eclipsed yesterday at the concert. I have never heard you in finer voice."
Casey
"Wow! That was a fantastic concert yesterday. You sound terrific, look great and are obviously having a great time! Thanks for sharing your talent Nina. You certainly brought a lot of joy to a few hundred people at the Rex Hotel yesterday. I had a blast!"

"...Anyone who knows Nina, knows about her voice. People who don’t know Nina, know about her voice. I recently said of another artist “he had a good voice, but he was a great singer.” Nina is a great singer, and she has a great voice. That was true when she sang in school shows, or around the house, or in the car, or at her wedding (a sweet version of “Someone to Watch Over Me”). It was true when she sang at my wedding.It’s still true... What does she sound like? Well, if I asked you to tell me what crème brûlée tasted like, you could fumble about with words. Or you could just tell me: try the damned crème brûlée!..."

"Nina; we just finished listening to your performance on Jazz. FM at 6:05 PM tonight !!!!!!! Your performance was superb and it was easy to visualize how you would have performed this song live at Seven44 in front of a "full-house" !! A lot of swing !!!! great pace and feeling for the lyrics !!! ; but the ending was your best yet !!!!!! Oh yes, your band was excellent and confident !!!!! I don't want to over-state how much I enjoyed it but it is great to say that " yes, I've seen them / her live several times."
