nod That would had been a superior festival had they not added in Trey and Alicia. It's time for her to go into hiding now, I'm getting sick of her screeching all over the place. Mary too.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

She is the headliner for the press. However everyone knows, Maze is the real headliner.

Well lets be real you have to sell tickets and as great a lineup that is, although i still dont understand the love affair the rb world has with trey songz, Alicia is on this bill to put asses in seats. And how did no one mention Keri Hilson? we arent saying she is a good singer now are we?
