I’m up in Chicago right now and I attended Estelle and Solange’s show at the House of Blues on Wednesday night and let’s just say it was definitely the place to be. Solange opened the show playing a short set including some of the crowd favorites, “T.O.N.Y.” and “I DECIDED.” I definitely loved how she mixed Devin The Dude and The Cardigans in with some of her performance tracks. You have to see the show to find out which ones. By the way, she sounded great live and worked the stage like nobody’s business.
Backstage was cool, Solange was preparing while American Idol played in the background. Little Julez was surfing around on the internet and laughing. Popular singer D.A. Wallach from Chester French and DJ Willie Shakes were also backstage waiting on the upcoming show. Everyone was cool and down to earth. Didn’t get to meet the lovely Estelle, but maybe next time. Her set was the truth though! She does not play when it comes to performances.
I also ran into a few Concrete Loop fans and had to show them some love on the site, so make sure to peep all the photos!

Both little girls seems to be vying for Hounsou’s attention, with him taking turns in carrying both of them. The newly-divorced Kimora, who officially divorced from entrepreneur Russell Simmons on January 28 this year, is expecting her first child with the Oscar-nominated Djimon this spring.

President Barack Obama presented Stevie Wonder with the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song during a taping of the Stevie Wonder In Performance at the White House: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday (February 25th).
The event which will air on PBS next month also brought out some singers/musicians including: Paul Simon, Will.I.Am, and Tony Bennett. Check out what President Obama had to say about Stevie:
“I think it is fair to say that, had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me, we might not have married,” the President said. “The fact that we agreed on Stevie was part of the essence of our courtship.” [ READ MORE + VIDEO ]
