That's a shame about James Brown b/c I heard he was great in concert. Not sure about the Black eyed peas. Will they replace James brown or just have one concert on the 20th?
Just asked my 15 year old if she knew who he was and she said no, then her friend yelled yes you do, he's the one that sings those stupid songs.
Guess we'll not be staying for the concert. I was so looking forward to it also. We are arriving mid afternoon and was going to spend just a few hours in the park, a good concert would have made it worth while. Guess We'll just catch the parade and maybe a ride or two. Hopefully there will be others who know and enjoy Sean Paul, that way the rides will be less crowded.
Here is most of the "info" on Sean Paul straight from the US/IOA website dedicated to the Mardi Gras.
Sean is leading the influential hip-hop-flavored dancehall form fully into the American mainstream with his breakthrough singles, GIMME THE LIGHT & GET BUSY. Paul has dominated the airwaves appearing on massive hit singles by Blu Cantrell (BREATHE) and Beyoncé (BABY BOY). He was recently nominated for 3 Grammy awards for Best New Artist, Best Reggae Album and Best Male Rap Solo Performance
