I found it an interesting read because it talked about the show, which gives you an idea of what to expect at future stops - including Norfolk, VA on April 24, which I will be attending. Some notes:

Finally, Dawn Richard talked with HIPHOLLYWOOD.COM about the stage show that will be featured when the tour kicks off later this evening. Watch below.
Jon Bream of the Star Tribune has a story on young singers, like Cody Simpson, Greyson Chance, Camryn and Willow Smith.
P. Diddy, the hip-hop mogul who helped Usher make his smash debut at age 13, agrees: "It's in your heart, it's in your soul. If I could have started at 10, I would have loved to." ...
