USHER, ALICIA KEYS & SHAKIRA PERFORM AT 2010 NBA ALL-STAR GAME

2/15/2010 0
Grammy-winning star Usher opened the 2010 NBA All-Star Game by performing "More", "She Don't Know" and "Yeah" during introductions, following a half-time show headlined by Alicia Keys and Shakira.



Continuing to silence the haters, Raymond showed exactly why he is one of the industry's premier entertainers with a daring performance. Having thoroughly proved his talent, there's no need to dwell on the fact that the vocals were mostly pre-recorded, especially given it was infected with choreography.




As for the half-time show, it started out on solid footing with sexy performance by Shakira, who tackled "She Wolf" and "Give It Up to Me", but Keys' delivered a rather lackluster performance that included her normal sit on stool, sway from side to side, and play the piano antics.

In her defense, the "No One" songstress delivered a solid vocal performance, but given this was an event to celebration the league's best players joining forces, songs such as "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart", fail to match the occasion.

ERYKAH BADU PERFORMS AT NBA ALL-STAR

2/14/2010 0
4x-Grammy-winning songstress Erykah Badu took the stage at the Saturday events of the 2010 NBA All-Star Weekend to perform "You've Got A Friend", as a part of the league's support for Haiti Relief.



Having watched the performance a couple of times, it is still a struggle to find anything positive to say about this outing. Badu's voice is obviously equipped for a certain type of material, and it is just not powerful enough for this song.
