Who's Blogging  |
If Faulkner was cute -- and that is the word for his act -- cuter still was the opening singer, L.A.'s Jessie Baylin. She coolly and confidently sang her pop-folk numbers, wisely staying within the limits of her voice.

Flo Rida
It's a special kind of rapper who can take off his shirt yet keep his performance from devolving into a Chippendales show. LL Cool J is that kind of rapper. 50 Cent is that kind of rapper.
Dade County's own Flo Rida, however, is not.
At Love on Friday night, the crowd completely stopped paying attention to what came out of Flo Rida's mouth once he came out of his clothes -- not surprising, considering his physique is considerably more muscular than his rhymes.
Early into the set, between the party track "In the Ayer" and the more hardcore "American Superstar" (both from Flo Rida's debut, "Mail on Sunday"), the rapper decided to strip off his tank top and douse his bare chest with liquor. After that, it became hard to concentrate on Flo's rhymes, or hear them over the screams, but it sounded as if he went on to perform "Roll," "Priceless," "Ack Like You Know" and various other tracks containing claims of his wealth, fame and overall greatness.
The crowd regained interest in Flo's music when he performed "Low," his chart-topping, T-Pain-assisted tribute to women who wear either fur-lined boots or Reeboks and like to drop down low on the dance floor.
Although Love's dress code doesn't allow for sneakers and it is way too hot outside to wear fur-trimmed anything, Flo filled the stage with "sexy ladies" wearing other kinds of footwear, showing that he seems to have a way with women, even if not with words.
