by Joseph Bolden A Night Of Stars or Quicky Review Ok,this has to be somewhat quick because of time. Soon,I’ll be a working desk clerk somewhere in the City. Last night I a free bus ride to and from The Brava Theater where the event was held. There was great appetizers of fried balls of meat,chicken pockets, chocolate Moose,and fruit topped with cream along with bread,wine,water, and juice drinks. Many people I’ve not seen years are there. Ms.Janice Edwards,NBC11 is Mistress of Ceremonies. Sometimes before she can introduce the talent most people knew who they are. She tells who from for each performer keeps the continuity of the show for those not knowing the players who were performing that night. Rocky start but with technical problems though all the talent on stage are ready everyone is ready, seated for the show. (1) April Zinn,"Da Movement. Ms. Zinn seems boneless in her effortless timed movements. (2) Charlie Sharp, "Vision" Knew I missed it so I’ll go on. (3) Dwight "Butch" Jones rendition of "Back To One" A rousing romantic power ballad of a love had the audience who know its lyrics place fingers counting in time to the Mr. Jones powerful artistic soulful singing of this popular tune. (4) Mark Myer’s–"A poem About The Donner Party" is serious yet with tongue planted slight if not firmly in cheek. The audience loved Mr. Myer’s way of reciting a gruesome lesson of historical significance. (5) John "Jonikhan" King –"Let Me" About a individuals plight and the laws of the land song made many pause listing to lyrics,melody,and strumming Mr. King’s guitar. A great set. (6)Neaplensah Yarnway– "Day-Day & The Jazzy Girls" All I can say is I was Conflicted between the younger girls,one you man, and a very enthused young women in the background dancing up a storm. Yeah,tried keeping eyes on all the dancers but the young woman in the back was really shaking her all and the whole audience (especially males) had to take notice in our defense I say we couldn’t help seeing here most of us were completely under and ancient tribal hynotic trance. Only afte the dance is over did most of us recover from the heady dancing. The two glasses of water I had drunk deserted me through perspiration. (7)Tony Thomas–"Home" Mr. Thomas’s way of singing ‘home’ pleased the crowd. The song about a someone’s who’s job or career keeps him on the road and all he wants is get back to his loved one is a sad yearning that by the lyrics end his journey is where he will end up "HOME" All the people on stage are talented and judges found it difficult choosing which one of the stars would be number one. But Neaplensah Yarnway – "Day-Day & The Jazzy Girls" are the winners some mumbling of the crowds to do over but the judges word decision is final. Day-Day’s Jazzy Girls win over very talented compition. With that some more eats downstairs out in the lobby, some mingling,hand shaking,ice-water, and its time for me and others to take a return bus safely home what a great night. Who knows,I might try my voice next year but dancing is out (maybe if I can do both simutaneously in rythm to music its possible). |
