Van Hunt/Heather Headley/Anthony Hamilton

Went to a great show last night. Van Hunt, Heather Headley, and Anthony Hamilton came to town. I've heard Van Hunt before, but unfortunately he didn't perform any of the songs I know. He did more of a bluesy/rock set, but he was cool as an opening act. Heather Headley came on next and just blew me away. You can tell the girl performed on Broadway and definitely showed her Trinidadian roots with a couple of songs. It was the first time I've gotten to see her and I definitely hope its not the last. Hopefully I will get a chance to see her on stage sometime (although I'm not complaining because when I saw Aida in New York, I got to see Toni Braxton!).

I thought for sure she was going to steal the show, until Mr. Hamilton came to stage and did his thing. He kept his show more uptempo although he slowed it down a couple of times for the ladies, then he straight took everybody to church. It was a great show, and just to show you how lame Cleveland is, I bought my ticket an hour before the show and still got a great seat.

Interview with Nas and Rakim

MI:3 Review

Went to check out MI:3 this weekend. Pretty good action flick. It's a Mission Impossible movie so of course some of the gadgets were a little over the top. But as a pure action movie, its great and keeps you constantly pulled in with very little drag time. The action sequences are excellent, as is the photography. Ving Rhames does a good job as sidekick and Maggie Q as Zen provides the requisite eye candy. But overall this a good movie for a summer afternoon.

Weekend in Sports

Ok this past weekend in sports had its ups and downs. Ok more like 1 up and 2 very, very, bad downs. First the Cavs won a great game Friday night over the Wizards in overtime. Although most people had had one too many shots of Patron, or Coronas to enjoy it. Damon Jones actually hit a shot!! Unbelievable!! Next there will be an Ira Newble sighting, wait that's asking for a bit much. Saturday was terrible letdown. How did the Lakers go from being up 3-1 to losing to the Suns?! Besides Smush Parker, and Kwame Brown forgetting how to make a shot. And the entire Laker team forgetting what defense looked like!! And Lamar decided to be his normal enigmatic self. And Kobe, after 23 points in the 1st half, how does he score 1 in the 2nd. He totally looked defeated, I think he just finally realized he can't do it all by himself. And I love Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith but his game Thursday night was great - I mean he shot 20-35!! The Lakers were a rebound away from having an all LA second round. So what else was he supposed to do?!?!? And then the Cavs on Sunday - I mean what can I say? They just looked totally and completely out of sync. And it doesn't help that 3 people very close to me are from Detroit. I'm going to have to hear about this one for about a year.

Ummm this video is kinda silly.Link

Jaguar Wright Concert Review

Got a chance to see Jaguar Wright the other night at the House of Blues. I have wanted to see her ever since Jay-Z's Unplugged when she stole the show from Jigga Man with her rendition of "Ain't no love" plus I loved her first album Denials, Delusions, and Decisions. I also have the second one Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul. Well the show kind of got of to a bad start because she had never worked with the band, and it took her awhile to get them in shape. And a couple of times during her performance she actually had to stop them and make them restart a couple of songs. But her voice is so powerful, she could have done the whole show without them! She was great, and I got the chance to meet her after the show when she sang "I can't wait" for me acapella. Hopefully one day I get to see her perform with the Roots to see how she really puts it down. Check out her websites at www.jaguarwright.com and myspace.com/jaguarwright.
