Earlier this month, Jill Scott recorded her episode of ‘VH1 Storytellers’ in front of a live audience at the Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom in New York City. She put on a show by getting into character (as seen above) and showing off different sides to herself and music.
The singer performed some of her fan faves like “Golden,” “Crown Royal” and “Come See Me.” Shortly after, select people were invited for an after party celebration at the Ink 48 hotel with appearances from Janelle Monae, former American Idol contestant Michael Lynche, Bravo TV’s Chef Ruble and Concrete Loop’s own Angel Laws.
Check out some of the video below, along with the exclusive Taj Washington photos below. Her episode, ‘VH1 Storytellers Presents: Jill Scott Live’ kicks of the series’ 16th season tonight, May 21st at 9PM ET/PT on VH1.

Angela Bassett is in final negotiations to star in FOX’s untitled drama pilot. Bassett will play the very calculating director of the CIA who has an unusually large amount of political power.
Queen Latifah is joining the star-studded cast for Lifetime’s all-African-American Steel Magnolias reboot as M’Lynn, the character played by Sally Field in the 1989 feature film of the same name. Condola Rashad will play her diabetes-stricken daughter, Shelby (played by Julia Roberts), and Rashad’s mother Phylicia will reinterpret the role of Clairee (portrayed by Olympia Dukakis). Alfre Woodard will tackle the irascible Ouiser, who was unforgettably played by Shirley MacLaine, Jill Scott looks to fill Dolly Parton’s shoes as understanding hairdresser Truvy, and Pariah breakout Adepero Oduye will play insecure newcomer Annelle, made famous by Daryl Hannah.
