Patton boys, too cute!

A young host by the name of Adrian Kali Turner did all the interviews on the carpet and opened the show,he was very energetic! He has a bright future ahead of him, great personality! I was taping my feet to the beats of DJ Priest who I found out was only eleven years old! What a cutie and he was absolutely Pinkerrific!

Cypress kept the crowd hyped while rapping some of his songs, then r&b group Audio shut down the stage with all the girls in front row going wild! Von Grey played their own musical instruments and sang two songs, then it was time for Gabbie Rae to hit the stage. All the kiddies rushed to the front to see her perform. They showed a quick video then she came out singing 3 songs. She had great stage presence and nice lyrics. The kids song along with her as she sang her heart out. Gabbie thanked all her fans, her parents,Big Boi, Jordan and God for making it all possible.

Jordan already has great ears and eyes for talent, she’s starting out as a great chicapreneur, keep up the great work! By the way, it was her 16th birthday and Big Boi could have did a big shing ding for her sweet sixteen but I think that Jordan will remember this huge birthday present for the rest of her life! Thanks to Christal (enchanted pr) and Angela Watts(AW Media) for the invitation! xoxo
