Nana is still reeling from the effects of jet lag & The Hurricaine(sp).
Between two evils, I always choose the one I never tried before.

I liked Usher's performance. However, he did not do a good job covering "A House is Not a Home." Jaheim should have performed that song. Now the upbeat Luther song Usher did was on point.
Friday's concert was GRRRRReat! LL Cool J is too fione. That body, thank you Jesus, is a work of art.
The tribute to Luther was nice. Patti and Gerald did an excellent job. I hope I look as good as Patti when I am 59. She had her legs all greased up like Ashanti and Beyonce. Go Patti.
Tom Joyner looked like a washed up pimp. Donna needs to put him on a weight lost/workout system. That Peach suit did NOTHING for him. He is too light to were colors that light. What color was that suit? It looked peach or pink, some pastel color. He needs to donate that suit, it did not work.
It rained the whole weekend. Lord willing, I will be back next year.
God Can

I only went the first night. Stevie was off the heezie!!! but for some reason a lot of people were leaving before he was finished. I was a little embarrassed about that. He started at 1:20 a.m. and finished at 3:10 a.m. The crowds were not there this year and it was reported in the paper. Tom Joyner and J Anthony Brown came on stage with the Gap Band (J had on all brown - hat and all) The gap band was really good and Yolanda Adams came out in a jean skirt, black turtle neck and scarf on her head with braids. Her voice now was crystal clear. Erica Badau(sp) was OK and Jamie Foxx was a plum fool!!!! - Can't wait 'till next year.
