    Love, love, love, Jill Scott. She’s so gifted and talented. So, I’m looking forward to seeing her on TV.

    Evan Ross is a good choice. When he first started acting, I didn’t know what to expect, because he came from a famous family, so I thought he was just (talented or not) handed over jobs because of who he is. But he has wowed me with his acting ability. I think he’s a better actor than his older sis, Tracy. LOL!
