Unfortunately people on the outside only hear of the negative things about our city, but these young people just showed the world the love and greatness that we have to offer. I've been following them for awhile now and they only get better every time they perform. You did an incredible job on AGT and Detroit Loves you😍🥰❤❤❤THANK YOU!!!

I truly believe that people of color (African descent) were gifted from ancestries to be great movers to rhythms, great creators of music, and of course wonderfully gifted in singing ALL KINDS OF MUSIC CREATIONS. That is why so many who are not BLACK or do not want to identify as BLACK...take from BLACKS and their NATURAL talents to get them SOME!!!.. And sadly so, many do not want to accept their heritage until it has 'VALUE OF SOME KIND' for them...otherwise, they ride the so-called 'WHITE TRAIN' until they rode enough and the same people who steal, criticize, demoralized BLACK people; then when trouble arises; they remember what people are theirs and they seek their respect, love, and support. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!
