Before the West and East lock horns at the year’s biggest night in basketball at the NBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis on Sunday (February 18), Coco Jones – fresh from winning her first golden gramophone at the 2024 GRAMMYs – has landed the weekend’s first slam dunk with a critically acclaimed live performance of the U.S national anthem as well as the Black national anthem (‘Lift Every Voice and Sing‘).
Accompanied by Winston Salem State University Red Sea of Sound and Virginia Union University Ambassadors of Sound at the HBCU Classic on Saturday (February 17), Jones dropped jaws with her soaring arrangement of the historic tunes.

This girl cannot sing
K-pop artists charting higher..and
They BeyHIVs say she is global.. Sad!
I dont know her- Mariah
Sounds good but outfit questionable and hair looks strange on the top of her head 🤨
She’s almost there. With more vocal training she’ll go from good to great.
Nahh..she will flop.
Too black…..accept it Americans love light fair skin….sad but true.
was she lip synching? She sang it beautifully but her body language didn’t match the feeling in the song. Maybe it’s just me but she sounded great, though!
She-male?
