During intermission, folks got their jam on.
Socialite Jamie Spencer, who was a tad bit inebriated sang John Legend style and got some dollaz from crowd members for his performance missed lyrics and all. LOL.
Singer Blue sang Anita Baker's "Been So Long" as one of her fans passes her the buck.
Kim Massie performed Rufus' "Ain't Nobody" as Coco sang background.
Massie was a delight. She was coming from her set at Jammin at the Zoo in Forest Park. At first she didnt wasnt going to perform until I coaxed her into singing that nite.
As you see Massie had the crowd on their feet.
Here it is one mo gain!
Massie got into the feelin even doin her own breakdown dance.
Potential teen heartthrob Tydis, who recently cut off his long hairr, got the ladies cheering with his to-the-number performance of Omarian's "Icebox" (he even did the Icebox dance ). He also told the crowd that he is -this-close to signing a deal with Sony Records. He's also a part of rapper Huey's Nod Factory camp which I'm sure doenst hurt his chances. He also mentioned that he recently tuirned his life to the Lord.
Coco and house guitarist Wildman looks at the show on the side of the stage.
Singer/keys man Reign had the females goin as well when he performed Brian McKnight's quiet storm jam, "Never Felt this Way."
Even got Kim Massie thrown dollaz at him!
That's Miss Massie gettin ready to throw some mo Reign's way.
Some patrons chillin.
Blue and Teresa Jenee hold up their cell phone lights during Reign's performance.
Here are some of the dollaz that Reign got from his set.
Divine had to follow Reign but she did OK with India Arie's "Ready for Love."
Poet/rapper Vandalyzm spit some science on sistas who don't respect themselves.
These sistas were catchin the show. Their melanin skin was just so beautiful.
Jazz guy Lamar Harris on the stage
Harris performed all the way back to his seat!
Socialite Jamie Spencer with former STL model Tiffany Nicole who was in town to be a bridesmaid in her friend's wedding.
