Mary J. Blige, Trey Songz & New Edition Close Out Day 3 Of The ESSENCE FEST Mainstage, Celebs Kick It In VIP


The folks over at ESSENCE ended a very successful weekend in New Orleans for the ESSENCE Music Fest with New Edition, Trey Songz and Mary J. Blige taking the stage for the final night.  See pics of other  celebs in attendance inside....
Mary J. Blige helped close out Day 3 of The ESSENCE Music Fest taking fans through a medley of hit songs and old school dance moves.


Alright Mary.  Loving the change up in stage outfits.





Chick had the DOme on lock.  She closed out with "Be Without You" and had the crowd sing "I'm Going Down" to HER.  Sweet!

Earlier in the evening.....



Trey Songz hit the main stage.





Trey currently has a hit on the charts with Lupe Fiasco called "Out Of My Head."

R&B crooner Kem was also a big hit on the main stage.


Essence head honchos Constance White and Emil Wilbekin posed together in the lounge.


Anthony Mackie was seen enjoying Day 3 festivities. 



Doug E. Fresh kept the party people moving in the lounges.



George Clinton and his band brought their essence to the fest complete with feathers and colorful coats.  And he's finally showing his full face.

Also....the main stage suffered an NE heartbreak.....




The fellas' precision and dance moves are still on point.  Once Boby made his "entrance," all 6 members killed it.




Nice to see these guys can still entertain a crowd and are getting along.



Kelly Price was saaangin' in the super lounge.  Stokley Williams hopped on stage to sing a duet with her.



MC Lyte was spotted rocking the mic.

Steve Harvey was the MC on the main stage and he kept the crowd laughing. 


Steve Stoute was chilling in one of the lounges.

Then with Jen and Shaunie.
