As if day 1 of the 2012 ESSENCE Music Festival wasn’t just about as good as it gets, Saturday night’s show highlighted and delivered what we all love and yearn for from our R&B artists and vocal powerhouses. Day 2 at the Superdome was a brilliant mix of talent between music and comedy, R&B heartthrob Tank open the show, the singer-songwriter even brought out Tyrese who sent the ladies into a further frenzy. Mary Mary brought everyone to their feet, singing along to the duo’s classic worship anthems, Ledisi tore it down as always and Mary J. Blige nearly lit the arena on fire.
