Industry legend Andre Harrell was on hand to introduce his new group Hamilton Park (who sang their hearts out!), while soul singer Noel Gourdin seduced the ladies with his single “Beautiful” and “American Idol” alum Anoop Desai gave a crowd-moving rendition of Blackstreet‘s classic “Don’t Leave Me.” In true Kelly Price fashion, the talented diva slayed the audience with heart-stopping renditions of “As We Lay” and her current single “Tired.” She ended the show with her original classic “Friend of Mine” (with a little help from Q Parker on “Mr. Biggs”‘ part).
