Radio statio KJLH celebrated the birthday's of 2 of their very own, Aundrae Russell and Kevin Nash. The birthday celebration was highlighted with a performance by Eric Benet.

Can I just say, this man is fine-like super duper fine. Talk about being in awe of a man's beauty. Eric looks as if he's gone or is going through a positive life transformation and the results look like inner peace.

Eric performed a few new songs from his soon to be released project, Love & Life (due September 9th). The one in particular that stood out to me was, "Chocolate Legs"............All I can say is, "Warner Brothers, this has to be a single, it's a must". A beautiful, sexy, romantic song that is sure to have the ladies talkin'. If "Chocolate Legs" turns out to be the best song on the album, it's so worth buying. Also, Eric's voice was next level; he was hitting notes ala El Debarge- I didn't know he could go there. I'm so excited for Eric's return to the scene.

Additional songs performed, You're The Only One, Georgy Porgy, Femininity, Spend My Life With You, featuring his amazing background vocalist, Belle Johnson. Belle was the only background singer on the stage, this girl held it down and her voice was heavenly. Eric's show was my first introduction to her, and I'm sure not the last. Please google her or click here for her Myspace page.

Bobby Brown- Sets It Off at BB Kings

My weekend began Thursday night because that's when I started to party like a rock star at KJLH's weekly live performance showcase at BB Kings/Universal City. This week's special guest was none other than the King of R&B, Bobby Brown.

Y'all, Bobby is so the "truth", on and off the stage. He gave a high energy performance and rocked all of his hits we so love. During the encore part of his performance, he was joined on stage by Mr. Wonderful, Stevie Wonder and Macy Gray. Bobby even sang a few of Stevie's hits while Stevie followed along on the keys.

I gotta shout out Macy Gray for remixing the song I am so loving to hate right now, "A Bay Bay". As she joined Bob on stage she referred to him as "A Bob Bay", A Bob Bay".... Hilarious! I can almost digest the song now.

Bob Bay also informed those in attendance to look out for his new reality show. Apparently, it's poised to knock our socks off like Being Bobby Brown...that I don't doubt as he's so made for t.v.

Bobby is also putting the finishing touches on his recording project, which he states will be released in the fall.

Finally, Bobby hung around after the show to "get his party on". As the DJ began spinning New Edition classics, Bob gave those on the dance floor a comic filled impromptu N.E. performance, choreography included. What an infectious moment.

I'll be posting some fun candid images from the show, so check back soon!
