ERYKA BADU AND JILL SCOTT-HOME ALONE, TOGETHER
 |
| "Battle of The Verzuzs, Feminine Style!" |
(Somewhere Over The World Wide Web)---May 9, 2020---In the words of McFadden and Whitehead, "Ain't No Stopping Us Now!" This week two other "mega hitmakers" took that declaration to another level when they infiltrated the internet in a "Battle of the Verzes" in the mist of the coronavirus pandemic.
Grammy winners Erykah Badu and Jill Scott faced-off on Instagram LIVE and everyone, including the "Forever First Lady" Michelle Obama was here for it!
Spike Lee, Janet Jackson, Tamar Braxton, Niece Nash, and Ludacris were among 700-thousands fans who grabbed a cocktail and headed to the VIP conveniently set in their own homes.
"Club Quarantine Battles"were introduced by popular producers Swiss Beatz and Timbaland. The concept turned even more heads when singer/songwriters Baby Face and Teddy Riley squared-off, satisfying for music starved fan seeking live performances during the national quarantine.
Saturday night's "showdown" was the first between two female performers. Jill Scott and Erykah Badu, considered "game changers" in their own right complimented each other, sharing tender tidbits on how, even after several hits about relationships still struggle with heartbreak and insecurities.
The industry icons who appeared more like friends than foes were in the LIVE chat room for more than 3 hours, trading hits, reminiscing about being on tour together in the early years.
Both taking a few moments to dispel any rumors of catfights and an on-going feud. "Love your sister, " Love your brother. Recognize and celebrate each other. There's room in the inn for everyone," Scott said.
After 48 hours in which the music industry suffered the losses of entertainment mogul Andre Harrell and Rock and Roll architect Little Richard, the entertainment world appeared to be more than ready for the soothing, incense-scented vibe of this 'fiercely feminine' duo.
Good time had by all, including the headliners.
