Would love to see Ashanti perform one of her new songs from Braveheart !
Wait what’s that ? The Queen’s performing i need to know wassup lol
I see j.hud is making a slow comeback
Nice acts, I’m excited but where is John Legend
Only here for Tamar sorry
Finally, True Artists. I LIVE. YAWNCE never could do SOUL
Good line up. Cant wait.
YASS. I’m about to get my life 10 fold. All of them are my favorite singers. On another note (pun intended)… MJB: The Breakthrough… what great memories did that pic just do for me…
NP: Be Without You
That looks like a really good line up.
Why are they announcing acts sooooo EARLY??
Trying to garner anticipation I see….
I hop Ciara & Future perform together, if she has had that baby by then.
I think it will be a pretty good show, if they don’t try to make it about those 2 flops and phonies K Michelle & Tamar… they need to have a seat in the audience and not on stage this year with their stale ass shade and drama.
It would also be absolutely foolish for them not to book Ciara as a performer this year, if she’s up for it after she has given birth.
