I love Jill and I am so happy with her career. She's such a dynamic woman. I had a chance to meet her in person when we visited Tyler Perry Studios. She is definitely "more real" than you can imagine. She's also extremely humble as well as talented. I see that she will be here in Charlotte on March 1st. I hate that she will be playing at Ovens Auditorium instead of the BobCats Arena (like Beyonce and R Kelly) but I understand since that is the Saturday of the CIAA tournament. I still wish they could work something out in the scheduling for her to perform that night since the tournament championship is usually played during the day. Either way I'm excited because the concert will probably sell out. EVERYBODY will be in town for CIAA. It would be great if she could rearrange her other dates so that she could do multiple shows in Charlotte. With so many people in town that week, every single show would sell out. I look forward to meeting you again sweetie. If any of your camp reads this we are having a "Celebrity Only" VIP set up for that week at the Luxurious Rustic Martini on Tryon & 9th St., so feel free to stop by.
