Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson...SCREAM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNl2Pm9-7Vk&feature=channel
Tyler Perry Studios of WHY DID I GET MARRIED 2 movie production starring Janet Jackson came to an halt. Bet Awards changed their format as Jamie Foxx kicked off the the award show with high fan fare with his Michael Jackson tribute along with Neyo, New Edition,Shaheen Jafargholi, and other celebrities as they paid they tribute with songs and words with the Jackson family in attendance.
Our Kdreams production had to rearrange our schedule to film The GREATEST Fan...Michael Jackson tribute at the Stevie Wonder KJLH Lighting Ceremony on June 26, 2009 before I drove cross country from Los Angeles to Louisiana by myself on that Sunday for Essence Music Festival. The drive was a breeze many thanks to Sirius XM Satelite radio with their all weekend Michael Jackson tribute.
NOW, your ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL highlights....

I have to keep it real. People plan their fashion, hotels, flight arangements months in advance to attend Essence Music Festival. Saving their coins and duckets to have the latest fashion to Vogue their personal styles at Essence Music Festival. So, you did not see a lot of fans with Michael Jackson T-shirts, but everywhere you went from the hotel lobby, gas stations, restaurants, streets of Bourbon, concert hallways, and seminars...you could not walk a step without hearing someone express their love and sadness for Michael Jackson.
Scroll to the bottom of the email to check out MICHAEL JACKSON PYT-demo from the Thriller Album. Simply beautiful.
CHARLIE WILSON rocked the house as fans applauded with enjoyment to his new and old hits. Charlie also shared with his fans that he is a Prostate Cancer survivor and encouraged men to get a prostate exam to save their lives with early detection.

The GREATEST Fan of Charlie Wilson was DeWayne and he wanted to know will Charlie do another album with The GAP band.

I pause for the cause to write that Essence Music Festival is more than great concerts and great seminars...it is like a BIG Family Renuion where there are NO STRANGERS...1 Love...One!
NOW, back to your ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL highlights....
I am talking to the Essence Media Coordinators Sheila, Tasha, and Tamara backstage having fun talking to this gorgeous guy. We are having a blast then Tamara says Kingi you might want to interview him. I asked. "Who?". She replied, "Joe". JOE was so down to earth that I was taken back by his personality. Joe told The GREATEST Fan listeners about his new CD, Signature.
Essence Music Festival fans were floored by Joe's performance. Joe is not only a talented singer with longevity . He has a another talent that he hasn't shared with the world yet. The GREATEST Fan listeners got the exclusive inside scoop as Joe shared that he also has musical talents with several instruments that he knows how to play. I know the fans will love to see Joe sing and play his intruments on stage at his next concert.

CHICO DEBARGE just exited the stage from performing at Essence Music Festival. He was excited to share how he enjoyed the Essence fans in New Orleans and told The GREATEST Fan listeners about his new CD, Addiction. As Chico left to do more interviews, I told Chico, "Bye-Bye Babeee".. He dittoed the salutation by saying "Bye-Bye Babeee". Backstage Chico and I coined the phrase Bye-Bye Babeee with reporters and fans at Essence Muisic Festival which was the buzz that weekend.
Support Chico Debarge "Addiction" and we know you will enjoy this CD for your collection. I pause for the cause again to give you a visual through words for my next interview.
NOW, back to your ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL highlights....
It had just finished raining in New Orleans after a 20 minute rainfall. It was now hot and humid. Then I saw him. We are backstage with many performers and their entourages which include their managers, hairstylists, makeup artists, assistants, etc. Then he approached the backstage to the Louisana Convention Center. This artist walked by himself carrying his own luggage. I was shocked by his humility. This artist is...
KIRK FRANKLIN. I talked with Kirk Franklin about his performance at the Essence seminar and his humility. The GREATEST Fan of Kirk Franklin, Sharon, wanted to know what he enjoy doing when he is not singing. Kirk responded that he enjoys giving back by speaking at high schools and keeping it real with them to support and motivate them.
Support KIRK FRANKLIN CD "This Is IT" and we know you will enjoy this CD for your collection.
Then I was honored and priviledge to interview....
MAYOR RAY NAGIN. Being from Louisiana and to witness, how Mayor Nagin handled Huricane Katrina took courage, strength, and dedication. So many people look up to Mayor Ray Nagin and President Barack Obama. I asked him what advice does he have for future leaders of America. He replied, "I'll encourage them to keep GOD first on their plight to success".. He also shared to The GREATEST Fan listeners where they can volunteer to partner with rebuilding Louisiana.
