The Annual Essence Music Festival has began and its back in New Orleans after the Hurricane Katrina disaster put a halt on it last year. Last night’s headliners included Ciara, Ludacris, and Ronald Isley along with guest speaker Barack Obama.
The festival will continue today and Saturday with performances coming from Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, Robin Thicke, Kelly Rowland and many more.






I definitely have a small crush on Barack Obama…Malik Yoba is still superr handsome…and I wanna have a happy marriage like Chante Moore and Kenny Latimore…black love is one of the most beaufitul things in the world.
The matrix is apart of Ci’s dance routine!!! Let her do it!!! Ev’body looks great and it looked like fun!!!!
Oh, and Ciara always has this soft glow look to her skin!!!!!! It’s sexy!!!
People, when ciara does the matrix move that is part of the like a boy performance. You know if you went to her show and she didn’t do that move during that song you would be like “where is the matrix?” It’s not old its just part of her show. I have been to one of her concerts and she puts on a hell of a good show.

I think Barack smokes weed…look at his lips.
Denise Said: My mom said his lips look like that-girl you are too funny, lol.
Denise also said: I think that he said that he experimented with weed in college, and also I think that he use to smoke cigarettes, I donot want to mess up his reputation by misquoting him, I have to read up on it some more. Hill Harper is fine, but he need to keep a full goatee and a low hair cut, he looks better with that, and he is 41 years old.Wow he put most younger dudes to shame. 41 is not old but, you can look like crap at that age if you don’t take care yourself.
I think that Barack is kind of cute, and he has a dark skinned sista-you go Barack; he and Hill Harper went to school together, I just love to see to brothers of African descent breaking negative stereotypes.
ONCE AGAIN CICI DOES IT AND STEALS THE SHOW. THAT GURL KNOW SHE DANCE HER ASS OF, 25 MY ASS. AND THAT HAIRCUT IS WHAT’Z UP. BUT IS IT OR HAS SHE BECAME MORE SEXUAL SINCE 50
I KNOW THERE R ALOT OF MISTAKES OF WHAT I JUST WROTE BUT FILL IN THE MISSIN LETTERS LOL!
It looks fun, Luda is doing his thing and looking fine as always!
@48, that’s not his wife. That’s the main dancer, Aurorrah Allain. His wife is actually the woman that’s behind him in that picture.
Clearly, y’all have never seen that man perform live. He is the definition of how to put on a show.
why’s ciara lying on the floor? lol
For some reason, Ciara is always being photographed lying on the floor, lol.
ciara is doin it big and luda

SHE’S DOING THE MATRIX LOL! U KNOW THE DANCE PPL KEEPIN HATIN OFF OF
i’m so glad essence came back home to NOLA!!!! It was soo much fun Beyonce rocked it as well as Chris Brown and Robin Thicke. New Orleans is back best believe
I love Ciara but can someone please tell her to stop doing that damn MATRIX DANCE!!!! ok Ci-Ci we get it!!! you are the master of the Matrix!!
Lol @ #29…..
This looked fun, Im lovin Ciara’s new hairstyle….N Ron know he wrong for that suit!!
I feel you #64…that Matrix shit is getting old…maybe I”m hating like the earlier poster said but, it’s something about Ciara that annoys me lately.
Somebody asked about Marvette Britto…she is a publicist extraordinare out of New York . Hill’s publicist as well I believe…..and by the way, how fine is his ass…a little small, but big things usually come in small packages. lol I’m pissed I wasn’t there this year…looked like a blessed and cool time.
LOL @ Ronald isley’s P.I.M.P. gear. I thought he is in prison.
My favoutite musical couple Kenny and Chante. Good to see them out together. I like Kenny’s loafers.
That lady with Hill Harper must be very short because Hill is short. He’s a good man, uplifting his community…I want to get his book.
CIARA IS OFFICIALLY THE BEST ENTERTAINER
I was there, It was great..I will be back..Ciara’s performance was horrible..
I saw Ciara in concert for the kids’ spring break earlier this year (b/c I got a free ticket) and expected to be knocked out but she didn’t bring it. She seemed like she expected the kids to go all ape-sh*& for her and her routine bored me. I’ve usually liked her performances in the past but she was on some wack Bobby Brown oversexed stuff (at a concert for the KIDS–there were school kids young as 6 there), moaning, humping and grinding on the floor. If I see the matrix move one more time I might scream! Some of the kids even sat down. She can dance but the whole arrogance over the BET list was overkill. Imagine what # Aaliyah (RIP) would have been. Even if it wasn’t high, I doubt she would have been so unnecessarily cocky. Confidence trumps cockiness.
CIARA IS NOT DOING THE MATRIX IN THAT ROUTINE, IT PART OF 1 , 2 STEP AND THE CROWD CHEERS GO CICI GO AND SHE GOES INTO A SPIN AND FALL ON HER BACK.. MATRIX WAS ONLY DONE IN THE GOODIES PERFORMANCE LACK A BOY ROUTINE IS A LOW BACK BEND AS WELL AS BREAKING YOUR ANKLE.. IF CIARA IS ANNOYING WHY COME ON HER POST? AALIYAH FANS YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENT ABOUT CIARA IS USELESS
