erykah and ledisi were fantastic, incredible, outstanding—what a performance!!!!!!!! bravo ladies, bravo
i’m glad doctors can’t lip-sync a surgery, phDs can’t lip-sync a thesis, judges can’t lip-sync knowledge of case studies…………or else we would all be in a bad situation

these are all great performances. But Brandy really put it down, she owned that performance and sold me on that song and actually see her pushing herself vocally. kudos Bran.
