Motown: The Broadway Musical

Yay, Black History Coming To Broadway!!! 

Motown: The Musical, is a musical soon to hit the strip of Broadway that tells the story of Motown extraordinaire Barry Gordy and how he built Motown from the ground up. If you're not familiar with Motown, then you must rememeber all the musical acts behind the rhythm and blues recording label that brought us most of the best acts in the music industry such as The Surpemes, Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Gladys Knight and the Pips and much more. 

Barry Gordy finally tells his side of the story as well as his relationship with Diana Ross. Motown: The Musical should be an interesting play to watch. The show doesn't start running until March which is less than a month away. Though I wasn't born when Motown was up and running, I can definitely say I enjoy the music that was made from the record company...real RnB/Soul music.

Patti LaHelle Presents: Got 2B Real

This whole summer I have been obsessing over creative and funny YouTube shows.One show I came across is a Diva Variety Show entitled Got 2B Real. This show features all of your favorite divas in one reality show. The divas you may ask who; well they are Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Rihanna, Chaka Khan, Fantasia, Diana Ross and last but not least MOTHER Beyonce. There are three episodes so far all which are recently uploaded. In this variety show, you will see everything from jealousy, bickering, cattiness, double teaming, reactions to certain entertainment events, drama and all. This show is so funny.

However, what makes these videos so creative is that the creator @PattiLahelle uses past and recent interviews of each diva and does the voice overs for each segment. It's very brilliant and a thought out process; difficult if you ask me. Remember these are just PARODY videos, in no way shape or form to hurt the real artists in the industry, just something to poke fun at. I wish the show was actually on TV because I would be tuned into it every week. I'll post episode 1 below and if you're interested for more the other two episodes will be posted after the jump along with contact information. Enjoy!
