Mary J. Blige closes out Essence Music Festival





The Essence Music Festival came to an end on Sunday with headliner Mary J. Blige. The Queen of hip hop-soul reigned over the Louisiana superdome in New Orleans with a retrospective of her top hits, ranging from 'Real Love' to 'The One'. Earlier in the evening, Trey Songz catered to the mostly female audience with his sexy set and New Edition reunited onstage for the first time since 1996, with all original members including Bobby Brown.
