fanMAIL: Review of Watch The Throne Concert in Atlanta (video)
Ignore all those breathless Stan reviews of the Kanye and Jay Z Watch The Throne opener in Atlanta last night. A loyal reader who attended the show told Sandrarose.com that the tour’s 1st stop in Atlanta started 2½ hours later than the 7:30PM time stamped on the tickets.
The sound system was crappy. The show was not sold out as some Stans have reported. And once it became evident that the show would not sell out, the tour’s promoters dumped hundreds of tickets on radio stations to give away.
When the rappers were finally announced at 9:00PM, the announcement was met with a round of boos from the audience, some of whom spent upwards of $450 for their tickets.
WTT continues with a 2nd show at Philips Arena tonight before moving on to Greensboro, NC on Oct. 30.

Mary J Blige – “Why” (radio rip) and “Mr. Wrong”
R&B Diva Mary J Blige continues her trend of throwing music into the wind and hoping something sticks. We love Mary but she hasn’t put out a resonating album since What’s The 411 (1992) and My Life (1994).
Since her early, crack-fueled glory days Mary’s music has been mostly hit and miss. It’s clear that she’s one artist who requires a lot of drama in her life to influence her music. Things must really be going well for her at home.
Mary’s latest efforts, “Why” (radio rip) and “Mr. Wrong” also miss the mark completely. Both tracks are off her new album My Life II: The Journey Continues.
“Why” features Rick Ross and “Mr. Wrong”, an updated version of Billy Paul’s 1972 hit “Me and Mrs. Jones”, features rap aficionado Drake. I mean, how can you go wrong with Drake on your track?

fanMAIL: Jody Watley writes…
It’s a shame that fashion, dance and soul Diva Jody Watley has never gotten her props for influencing many of today’s artists. As kids in the 70s, we watched Jody dance her butt off with Jeffrey Daniel on the Iconic “Soul Train” music TV series. Later, when Jody and Jeffrey joined Shalamar (with Howard Hewett) we grooved to their hit music in the clubs. When Jody went solo the hits continued. She scored 6 Top Ten Hot 100 singles on Billboard, 3 #1 R&B hits and 15 Top 40 R&B hits.
A lot of kids today don’t realize that Jody Watley influenced Janet Jackson’s moves. Or that Jeffrey Daniel taught Michael Jackson how to do the moonwalk (which Black and Hispanic kids called the ‘backslide’ in the 70s).
No one today can touch Jody Watley in terms of style and originality. Beyonce’s ponytail? She stole it from Jody Watley. We LOVE Jody Watley and we are happy that she reads Sandrarose.com! Read Jody’s email to us after the break!

Diamond gives fan lap dance (video)
We’re not sure where this footage was filmed but we are surprised to see that rapper Diamond has Caucasian fans who know who she is. Diamond gave a fan a sensual lap dance, ironically, to Kelly Rowland’s smash hit “Motivation”. As you recall, Rowland shocked her fans when she received a lap dance from Chris Brown in Atlanta last week.

Michael Jackson’s children introduce Beyoncé at Tribute concert (video)
Michael Jackson’s three children, Paris, 13, Prince, 14, and Michael Joseph, Jr., aka Blanket, 9, introduced singer Beyoncé at their father’s “Forever Michael” tribute concert in Cardiff, England yesterday.
The kids were brought onstage by comedian/actor Jamie Foxx, accompanied by their uncle Jermaine’s sons, and auntie LaToya Jackson, 55.
“We’re very happy to be here on this special night to honor our father,” said Paris, who, along with her bothers wore outfits inspired by the King of Pop.
“She’s always pushing the envelope with her boundless energy and talent,” she said of Bey, who wore an afro wig and phoned her performance in from an undisclosed location in the U.S.
