Since her professional debut in 2002, Amerie has continued to carve out her own niche. She refuses to be relegated to any box. Singer, Songwriter, Producer, and Actress are but a few of the nouns which can be used to classify the 26 year-old beauty.

Amerie demanded full attention when performing her popular tracks. The friendly songstress belted out notes and smiled comfortably. Sporting shiny black leggings and a stunning red top Amerie flashed her locks and prompted the crowd to sing along. After her performance she patiently posed for photos with her fans and took part in an interview. Du’ain Mitchell said ‘Amerie was meant to be my girl, did you see how well we looked together.

Jay Sean is one the Uk’s most successful artists gaining huge attention for both his race and talent. As the Uk’s first asian crossover superstar, Sean has already tasted chart success with the slick anthem Dance with you. Working alongside Rishi rish gave him the career boost that allowed his first two singles top ten status in the Uk Singles charts.

Jay Sean who originates from Southall performed the recent smash Ride it, along with our other favourites Dance with you, Eyes on you and stolen. The tracks went down a treat and had ladies screaming for his attention. With a fresh hair cut and a dapper black suit and tie, Mr Sean was happy to pose in the club with fans and sign autographs. He had a cool exterior and sung with precision giving much love to his fans. Prateeka Babhania, West London said ‘Jay Sean was wicked man, I just had my picture taken with him and an autograph look! He is so nice in person, thanks for letting me talk to him first! My Vip wrist band was well worth it!’

Dorothy Fearon, better known as Baby D, is the well known vocalist for the 1994 number 1 hit “Let Me Be Your Fantasy” and other top 10 single “I need your loving”. The lady of dance belted out her notes to our favourite track and the crowd chanted them right back.

Ginuwine was one of R&B's pre-eminent love men during the '90s heyday of hip-hop soul. Initially teamed with Timbaland, the most innovative producer of the late '90s, Ginuwine's sultry, seductive crooning earned him a substantial female following and made him a regular presence on the R&B charts, even after the futuristic production he favored was eclipsed by the more organic, retro-leaning neo-soul movement.

Ginuwine, every ladies favourite bachelor performed for Mix It Up! for the second time and to our disbelief was even better than his last top performance. The show involved a lot of tantalising moves and his bellowing voice. He definitely did it for the ladies.
Dressed in a comic designed hoody and dripping in jewellery the ladies man took the mic as a well educated artist. He sang live all the favourites including Pony, In those Jeans, Shorty and many more.

Tasha Sinclair, who was screaming with delight shouted ‘Ginuwine is just toooo fine, I wish he took of his top like he did last time, I managed to touch him though. Mix It Up! I salute you’.

It’s summer 2007 and there is a song blaring from every radio station, car and cell phone within earshot…”You’re way too beautiful, girl…” starts the song. What song is that? Who is that artist? The world would soon come to find out. It was the teenage Sean Kingston and his irresistible, unavoidable tropical tale of love, “Beautiful Girls.”

Mix It Up! hosted this concert and of course the number one selling single was a favourite with the crowd. Sean danced about on stage wearing a bandana around his
