The Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana is going to be a star-studded affair, with Mary J. Blige, John Legend, Chaka Khan, India.Arie, and others. But one star is sure to shine brighter than all of them…

Miss Diana Ross!

The diva will be performing at the festival for the very first time, and without a doubt it will be a memorable performance. Everything she does is memorable, but this is sure to take the biggest cake of them all!
