2717519, Wow I didn't read the second - well maybe it wasn't a good fit

I mean I for one clearly thought it was a good fit - although I was unaware of the lineup. Truth? Trey Songs is on fire and has been for the last five years maybe? Or it's simmering down but still on a downward helix(not sure I don't care about modern R&b haha like at all I'm sure you can feel that) and Mr. Wilson is .. .well Mr. Wilson.

D of course is dealing with two fairly current & successful artists despite Mr Wilson of course having many years behind him. I honestly would have thought D'angelo would have been top billing.

So two reviews on a bad night - okay. What about LA tho? LA sounds great, most of what I heard was positive if not really good. Bonnaroo was great as well - at least, received very well. The one reviewer only mentioned BET and Essence and it's crowd response. That doesn't seem very leveled.

The songs sound great to me in LA - better than Europe for sure.
