July 18th in front of 1,500 in the HardRock Casino showroom, National Academy of Recording Arts and Science (NARAS) President Neil Portnow delivered some pretty shocking news. The priceless endorsement from the industry giant- “Mississippi is indeed the birthplace of America’s music,” sent some shocking waves through the politically correct National Governors Association (NGA). This could have made my night, but the excitement wasn’t even close to kicking into high gear. Swedish musician, Beatrice, traveled halfway around the world in an “attempt” to wow the showroom packed with American politicians and powerful lobbyist. WOW them she did, all the way to the point I felt like I was walking around with Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas following her performance. The surrounding cast also deserves a huge round of applause: Grammy winner Brandy, Paul Overstreet, Joey Lauren Adams as host, and the musical direction of Vince Barranco, the untouchable chops of drummer Derrick “D’Mar” Martin, and the exciting dance numbers by the dancers from Swedens 4-Elements Dance Studio. Biased I may be about Beatrice’s performance, I know one thing, the 38 Governors in attendance and the Grammy President Neil Portnow weren’t. Beatrice’s performance took their heads right off and her train is definitely leaving the station in a hurry.
As the entire album “Starting All Over” is packed from the first to last track, I recommend the album single – “Starting All Over”. Check it out on iTunes or at: www.redjetrecords.com . Still not convinced by her talent? Well the Grammy’s are after compiling her performance vignette- take a look!
