Not sure that I would classify Boyz II Men & En Vogue as “classic” just yet. And definitely not Angie Stone.

Why not put Bobby Brown on stage …. He needs to make some money to pay his Child Support that he he always behind in….He is a Low- Life Father….

I wouldn’t call Bobby Brown a Low-Life father. He’s dealt with some greedy low-life mothers and he needs to go and get his arrangements set to his current income and not his previous income.

Look…this is 2010. If you think about it, people who have grown up with the music that “defined” them are going to want to see those acts. Therefore, if you grew up listening to Diana Ross and you like her music, naturally you are going to want to see this talented one-of-a-kind artist. She is no “hag”. ..having raised 5 children to adulthood and being the class act that she is. Anyone of you that puts down real talent should take a hard, deep look at why you are critical and what may be deep-seated in yourselves that has not been dealt with.

A few years ago I saw Dave Brubek and Ramsey Lewis. It was phenomenal. I would love to see more hardcore jazz acts. The audience is smaller but very loyal. Surely there’s a weekday spot for one of these types of acts.

So is Garfunkle bringing his own dope to the show, or will it be provided for him here? I don’t think he can perform without being “lit up.”

Really disappointing lineup compared to the last several years. Normally I pick five or more this year there are barely two, so even a pick three is not possible. Bummer.
