Keri Hilson Concert Causes Fans To Faint

-
I was going to throw in a funny joke about the fans fainting over Keri. Maybe it was because her set was so boring; they had no choice but to faint. But no it was the heat which was pretty hot down south in Memphis. Read more below!

Grammy-nominated artist Keri Hilson visited Memphis Tuesday to give a free concert as part of a promotional tour.

The music at the "Walmart Road to Essence Music Festival Concert in Memphis" was hot Tuesday, and so was the unbearable heat.

The warm temps were too much for many who passed out after succumbing to the heat during the concert, held at the Walmart on Winchester Road. According to Memphis Firefighters, one person had to be treated for heat exhaustion.

"I brought my children out," Renita Lauderdale said. "Let them go ahead. I'll stay cool. I gave them plenty of water before they went out there, but that's fine."

Excited fans didn't let the hot weather stop them from taking part in the special 45 minute mini-concert featuring Grammy nominated singer Keri Hilson and singer-songwriter Ledisi.

"My security had to pull out a couple girls who were fatigued and about to pass out," Hilson said. "Beyond that it was a lot of energy and it was beautiful."

After the concert was over, hundreds poured into the Walmart to cool off, hoping to get an autographed copy of Hilson's latest CD. But when chaos erupted inside the store, Walmart had to temporarily close its doors to allow security to regain control of the crowd.

Despite the heat and chaos, those who attended the concert said having the opportunity to see two of their favorite artists perform was well worth it.

"I love Keri Hilson," Nadia Matthews said. "She's a positive roll model and I think it's great she came to Memphis."

The Memphis concert is one of numerous in-store concerts and events throughout the nation leading up to the Essence Music Festival.

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
