Gosh, those tickets are expensive. I hope she shows up.
How old is that picture of her on the poster? I thought it was Raven Simone!

Posted: 11/14/06 at 12:16pmAre you going to interview her CoCo? If so, I wouldn't dab any pork chop gravy behind my ears.

Posted: 11/14/06 at 12:24pmlol. I don't know what's up with that mismatched ponytail clip, though. It looks like those Tiffany Taylor dolls I had when I was a kid...you could change the hair color by turning the head.

Nope. Just going because I adore her.
She is among, if not my favorite singer of all time.
I am so excited!

Posted: 11/14/06 at 12:58pmCorine could get an eighty percent cut on those globes and Aretha would still see a 100 percent profit.

Posted: 11/14/06 at 1:00pmI love Re-Re too, but the child is a hot mess. I saw her live about a year ago. She needs to take better care of herself. She sounded great but she could barely navigate the stage.
