Ms. Badu delivered what was likely the best performance of the NBA's All Star Weekend Saturday night line-up. OK, the three-point competition was great since my pick (Paul Pierce) won. But that dunk contest was absolutely one of the worst I have ever seen. I still cannot believe that was what they passed off as a dunk contest. But I digress. Erykah Badu, some back-up singers, a bassist, and a pianist offered a beautiful rendition of Carole King's "You've Got a Friend." It was a smooth, refreshing way for Badu to also put herself back in the public eye with her new album dropping March 30 (maybe).
