On TV: Mary Mary at The White House

Who watched Stevie Wonder’s tribute program?

It was actually QUITE awesome.  Mary Mary sang “Higher Ground.”  They looked great, sounded great (threw in some harmonies and a nice, quick vamp)… and they carried themselves well.  You can take ‘em someplace cuz they know how to act!  Good job.

Another incredible performance that I simply MUST mention came from Esperanza Spalding, a phenomenal jazz artist who sings her total face off WHILE playing the upright bass!  Doggone it, she sang “Overjoyed” like her life depended on it.  Geeeeeez… If you love music, GOOD music, pleeeeeease do yourself a favor and search for her on YouTube.

What did y’all think?

    LOL! Tony Bennett absolutely DID show out! That's hilarious! He tried to take us to church! And MaryMary gave it to us nice and easy, but they gave it to us nonetheless. Great job!

    Esperanza Spalding was amazing . . . and Tony B. definitely delivered! Did anyone notice how the President's head was re-e-ally keeping the beat with Mary Mary?! (when the camera was behind him)?
