Jill Scott performed at the 3rd and final day of the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans yesterday. The vocal powerhouse was alongside Melanie Fiona, Estelle, Mary J. Blige, Earth Wind & Fire and someone named Trey Songz to help the crowd celebrate the US Independence Day.

  11. Thanks July 6, 2010

    sorry BEYDABESS but there is no way you can compare beyonce to Jill Scott when it comes to vocal range and vocal skill. I understand you are a fan of beyonce and all but there is no way shape or form you can inject b on the same level as a master vocalist like Jill…..shameful

  12. Thanks July 6, 2010

    BEYDABESS…………and another thing, you cannot continue writing and spelling like this……seriously

    I was there at the Essence, JILL WAS AWESOME. She looked great, sounded awesome, and performed like nobodies business.
    and sorry Beydabess..comparing Jill to Beyonce isnt logical. And Jills Range is beautiful. Jill is an Alto and Beyonce is a Soprano.. but boy work well in their register. Dont be hater ..not everything is about Beyonce. If my memory serves me correct Beyonce sings JILL’s “He Loves Me’ and Jill of course does it way better.

    Music is to broad to focus just on one artist. Free your mind and quit being a FANATIC!

    Melanie Fiona was great
    PJ Morton was great too
    and MINT CONDITION KILLED IT..THEM BOYS ARE LIKE THE ONLY SOUL BAND OUT THERE THAT CAN CARRY THE TORTH OF EARTH WIND AND FIRE…

    R&B IS ALIVE..just not on BET

  14. EXPOSED July 6, 2010

    SHE LOOKS FAT!!!!!!!!! COULD LOSE 40 LBS. YEA, SHE LOOKS AMAZINGLY THICK.

  15. mr.M July 6, 2010

    Who’s that b**** ??

    Beyonce ?!

  16. girl why July 6, 2010

    ehm jill, that outfit?

    no bueno.

  17. Jaron July 6, 2010

    Trent, you better throw that shade. “Someone named Trey Songz.” LOL!

  18. nothing but my opinion July 6, 2010

    looks good!

  19. ~Team Weezy~ July 6, 2010

    OMG! I LOVE THIS WOMAN!

    She is like beyond awesome!

    She is a true artist and I absolutely LOVE her and her music!

    I LOVE YOU JILL! <3

    If you have never seen Jill Scott live then you have GOT to check her out. She’s sick on the mic and is so natural on stage you feel like you’re in church. She really connects with her audience from begining to end. I’ve seen her at least 3 times and have been amazed each and every time.

    @KNICOLE – Beyonce is NOT a soprano O____O Beyonce and Jill are both DRAMATIC MEZZO-SOPRANOS

    Jill can sing notes just as high as Beyonce and just as low – I suggest you check out videos on youtube of their vocal ranges….

    ….secondly, THERE IS NO SUCH VOICE T Y P E AS “ALTO”!! It is a VOCAL P A R T in an ensemble (such as choir) but cannot be used to desribe a voice!

    The main female voice types (from highest to lowest) are:
    – Soprano
    – Mezzo-Soprano (who would normally sing “alto” in a choir)
    – Contralto (who would sing “alto” or maybe even “tenor” in a choir)

  22. JonathanGardnerTV July 7, 2010

    Anyway…I LOVE JILL!! She looks fab here!! Looking forward to new music from her 🙂
