Jill Scott, New Edition and Babyface are hitting the road as a touring package for dates in Washington DC on December 3rd; Hampton, VA on December 4th; and Detroit, MI on December 12th.

seems like an odd combination of artists for a tour,but who knows? Maybe it will work

I thought I was the only one. And New Ediition is STILL touring??? Haven't they been touring the past few years straight now? Don't get me wrong, it's not necessarily a bad thing, but I just hope the guys are taking some proper breaks for rest.

Babyface should have contacted Jon B. to open for him. I'm sure he's available and I wouldn't mind seeing him live again.

New Edition never stops touring nobody can ever accuse them of being lazy,lol

Babyface should do a tour with Toni Braxton.I think that would be a good pairing.Plus,they recorded an album together a few years back.

NE probably can't afford to take a lot of time off. They're not any different than any other oldies group who constantly perform and don't have a recording contract. I don't think they make much, if anything from their records on MCA.

On a related note, here's LaTavia Roberson (original Destiny's Child member) singing a line from The Way by Jill. I don't know why she hasn't released anything yet. LeToya Luckett has 2 or 3 albums already and she acts on a TV show.

LeToya is about to shoot a pilot in ATLANTA for NBC

But probably wouldn't reach two cities before having to cancel the rest of the tour.

I'm surprided NE hasn't toured with the Jacksons or Morris Day & the Time.

They toured with Jesse Johnson in the 1980s, so close enough.

Years ago Toni said on her Reality show that she makes more money Touring and booking Gigs overseas. It's bad that she shows The States no Love...Toni has an interesting relationship with Money...When she said she'd rather not record anymore I really believe she meant it...I don't think her heart is in it.....She reminds me of Lauryn Hill...I call them the "whatever Chicks"...

could be interesting...

Bobby could barley perform half of Every Little Step on soul train awards. You expect this man to perform an hour long set of uptempo dance songs like popcorn love and candy girl, lol.

I didn't see the ST Awards. If Bobby would get on an exercise program, then he could do the steps without getting out of breath like last year when he walked off the stage and said he was quitting the tour.

Bobby's not even the lead singer. Hell, he's not even co-lead. Yeah, his name will bring people out to the shows, but that's it. That's like sayin I'm not going to see the Jacksons because Marlon is not there, or Wu Tang because U-God is absent, lol.

Dammn! U-God yo? I get your point but Bobby B. has too many solo hits and millions of records sold to be U-God status.
