R&B SINGERS OUT & ABOUT: CONDE NAST MEDIA GROUP'S 5TH ANNIVERSARY OF 'FASHION ROCKS'.....

It was an R&B haven at last night's 'Conde Nast Media Group’s 5th Aniversary of Fashion Rocks!' And many of them came out to perform. There were even a couple of tribute performers on the night. Beyonce did a tribute to the legendary singer Etta James, and performing 'Just Stand Up' with other female musicians:




The blonde wig was all part of the tribute. But she eventually ditched it when she performed with former N-Sync singer Justin Timberlake and rocked a disco-inspired all-in-one outfit. During her Etta tribute she showed off her absolutely stunning engagement ring given to her by now-hubby Jay-Z (click on the last pic). All I have to say is damn. She could feed half of Africa with that alone. Money at its finest.

Beyonce kicked it with her father Matthew Knowles and Justin Timberlake backstage:




Justin is such a cornball but I be damned if I don't anticipate his next album, because you just know he'll bring the heat.

Solange Knowles also performed at the event looking all kinds of weird:



I'm pretty sure she rocked it out though, as she launched into her lastest single 'Sandcastle Disco'.

Chris Brown attended and performed too:




He performed latest single 'Forever' but it looked like he did another Michael Jackson tribute. My guess is, he squeezed in 'Thriller' somewhere. Wouldn't be at all surprising since MJ turned 50 last week.

Brandy didn't perform but it didn't stop her from enjoying the prestigious event and kicking it with our boy Chris:




Looking cute, Brandy.

Chris's girlfriend Rihanna also attended and performed at the event rocking an interesting peacock inspired costume:




She performed latest smash 'Disturbia'. She also performed Madonna's classic hit 'Vogue', which suits lil miss stylish to a tee. It looked like she went all out for the performance but pictures can be very deceiving....

Mary J Blige posed it up with Ms Disturbia and performed with Kid Rock:



As much as I like Rihanna, maybe she'd like to opt for a different hairstyle because well, you know.....

Keyshia Cole showed up:



Looking hot. This chick sure has come far....

Mariah Carey also looked nice as she took to the stage to perform a couple of songs from her latest album:



She impressed me during her stint on 'Just Stand Up', after watching it again. And did I say she looked nice?

The Pussycat Dolls performed as well:




They performed latest hit single 'When I Grow Up'. I am starting to tire of this track already....

Ashanti and Ciara kicked it:



Looking good ladies!

Fergie also performed whilst Leona Lewis and actor-turned singer Terence Howard showed up:



All in all, last night seemed like a pretty hot night. Look out for when I post the performances next week. The show airs on Sept 9th.....
