Thousands of music lovers went down to the ESSENCE Music Festival this weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana and we have pics from Day One at the Superdome last night. See Usher, Macy Gray, Fantasia, and Taraji P. Henson hitting the stage and partying it up in VIP after the jump....
Jennifer Hudson was one of the main attractions at the festival inside the Superdome this year.
She looked amazing in a simple black dress that looked very appropriate for going to a "festival."
And look who else took the stage:
Fantasia was there on the main stage....and I know we are all looking at her stomach and asking ourselves, "Is she....or isn't she?"
Macy Gray hit the stage with a bedazzled microphone.
Boyz II Men brought their 3-part harmony to the stage.
Keshia Knight Pulliam was there looking fab.
Actress and singer Naturi Naughton made the rounds too.
And Boris Kodjoe and Garcelle Beauvais posed together.
Miguel rocked one of the super lounges. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with those pants though. Actually this whole outfit in general.
Charlie Wilson hit the mainstage and brought out that 80s soul and R&B flavor.
Soul singer Dwele performed.
Doug E. Fresh was spotted at the Fest too.
Did you know that Dru Hill was OFFICIALLY back together?
Thought they gave that up after that reality show last year. Guess not. Hey Sisqo, Nokio, Tao, Jazz!
LeToya Luckett made the rounds with Slim Thug. Yeah--seems like they really are back together. We tweeted a pic of these two last night chillin' in the VIP Belve Lounge backstage. Very interesting....
Mathew Knowles posed with Eric Benet. I wonder if he bumped into LeToya? And how THAT convo went...
Hosea Chanchez and his on-screen girlfriend Tika Sumpter were spotted around the Dome.
The very sexy Tank rocked out in one of the lounges.
I don't know if she sang, danced or did a monologue but Taraji P. Henson surely kept the crowd entertained in the McCafe.
And for the headliner of last night:
Mr. Entertainment was there.
His entrance was to "OMG" and he flew above the crowd on to the stage riding on this neon green lit plank. Craziness.
Is that a bulge impression or just our eyes playing tricks on us? I see Mr. Raymond in a WHOLE new light now. Yes indeedy....
Usher pretty much killed the stage last night.
Fab times.
