Like their song says, I have “Nothing Left To Say.” Oh, but I do want to thank everyone who supported this Black History Month event. And thank you for continuing to support 97.1QMG!

Our history as a people goes much further than we could ever imagine! We are the decendents of kings and queens, a proud people who survived the brutal treatment of slavery and prejudice to represent the world in the most important office of the world, the President of the United States. Be proud of your history Black people as we continue to make history for generations to come!

Here’s Eric’s new vid! Check it!!

Raphael’s artistry continues to transcend. Great song. Great video. For all you “ANTM” fans, check out YaYa DaCosta in the starring role! She also had a part in this year’s Oscar-nominated film, “The Kids Are Alright”. Go YaYa!

This is The Day Of Democracy, as shown by the people (not the politicians) of Egypt. And the cry for freedom is ringing all across the Middle East. Freedom always finds a way to free itself from the bongdage of slavery (hello America)? And the cry for freedom throughout the world is also a clarion call for prayer. Remember our brothers and sisters in the Middle East in your prayers. We Are One….

Check out a Chris Brown rehearsal with his crew through a fisheye lens gettin’ it INNNNNNNNNN to Funk Legend Rick James’ “Cold Blooded”. When all the drama falls away…there’s NO mistaking this guy’s GOD-given TALENT!!!

I read an article today online about how the 1st Lady Michelle Obama doesn’t allow her daughters to have social network pages. She also said even if they weren’t living in the White House she would feel the same way. I’m right there with you Mrs. Obama! My daughter lives with her mother but is allowed to have a page on the real popular social network page and I’m not a fan of what she’s being expose to. Some people are sick and have cruel intentions. I have all the confidence in her but it’s the whack jobs I’m concerned with. Even the most mature preteen is still to young for this medium. Some adults have a hard time on those sites so imagine your child. You can’t monitor their page 24/7 so why try? Stop trying to be your children’s friend and be A PARENT! So they’ll hate you for a lil bit but it’s better than the alternative. I remember saying to myself ”I hate mom, I hate dad” but it worked out for me and it will work out for your kids as well.

For those of us who watched the Big Dance of Professional Football, what took place before either Pittsburgh or Green Bay took to the gridiron was the performance of singer Christina Aguilera and her rendition of the National Anthem. Now personally I didn’t see the performance, but the after-shock and ripple effect of what she did to the Anthem did, and probably still does, have people buzzing in the workplace or near somebody’s water cooler as to how could she possibly mess up what’s consider to most individuals a sacred piece of musical composition that pays homage to the United States of America.

Learning after-the-fact that she was singing before the start of the game, I began to think of Whitney Houston and Jennifer Hudson before her who both brought such passion and conviction to the lyrics of the song, I just automatically assumed (as I’m sure some of you may of thought the same) because Christina too has such a ‘powerhouse’ of a voice that she would deliver along the same lines as Jennifer or Whitney…but then the unexpected happened and she left out an entire verse to song, and created a somewhat, never-heard-of version of the same song!

Now should we fault Christina for not being better prepared to deliver one of the most patriotic hymns of our time? It’s been known that she’s sung the National Anthem hundreds of times at other venues and events since she was likely still a young Mouseketeer with the Mickey Mouse Club and she even NAILED a rehearsal of the Star-Spangled Banner before she took to the field at Cowboys Stadium for this year’s Big Game….never mind the ’pressure’ of having to sing in front of hundreds-of-thousands who were in attendance.  A better question- how many of US know the Star-Spangled Banner word-for-word from beginning to end without re-arranging the lyrics?!?

It may have been an embarrassing moment, depending upon who you ask…but should it also be a wake-up call for those in charge of booking singers to perform at one of the most-watched sporting events in the world to have a back-up, such as a teleprompter…just in case someone does FORGET THE LYRICS!!

The Super Bowl was a great game, and the best team that day won the big prize! Congrats to the fans of the Packers and The Steelers. Now, think about all the anticipation you went through before the game, and all your emotions afterwards. As big as the weekend was, this time next week it’ll be just another Sunday. Time to get “Back To Life.”
