Lastnight...Later...

 Just when I was losing all faith in R&B, I saw some of the true seasoned  acts that we've all been missing lately, as well as some promising new comers...and 1 group in particular that I just know will have EXACTLY 15 mins of fame...nothing more, nothing less....smh.

Anoop Desai from season 8's American Idol performed, surprising the hell out of me when he sang BlackStreets "Don't Leave"...he killed it! Where that Indian boy got all that soul...IDK...but I know Andre' Harrell was thinking he should've signed him instead of his Day 26/Dru Hill reincarnates who call themselves Hamilton Park. Great voices...but staying power is questionable...especially with that gimmicky r&b rendition of "going hard in the paint" they sang ...not the look dude...not the look.

Anthony David, Kelly Price, and Q from 112 took me back to when R&B was great! When the voices were real, and the runs and riffs were truly skill and not autotune.

 "I'm not 100%, but I'll give you everything I got." said Kelly Price as she took the stage...and that she did...sending all kinds chills throughout my body with her voice. Yea last night was a good night...and it kind of motivated me to want to get back into the grind of the media world again...I mean I know I have to, but I just needed a little push...and I think last night was it. :)

.... Oh yeah and this is where i'll be later...


....What? You didn't think I forgot it was 420 did you? :)
