Beyonce, En Vogue and more are captured on 'TV One Night Only: Live from the Essence Music Festival'

Most shows don't kick off with the money performer but TV One isn't afraid to present Beyonce shaking her thang while performing "Single Ladies". En Vogue, Ne-Yo, Al Green and Anita Baker are just a few of the other reasons behind that confidence.

From beginning to end, the show rocks. Host Cynthia Garrett is never really intrusive and neither are her celebrity guests. Everyone realizes that the real star is the party and you see plenty of that going on. If you haven't made it to The Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, you can see exactly what you've been missing beginning tonight on TV One at 8pm and then again at 11pm.

Taped this year, weeks after Michael Jackson's death, this installment of The Essence Music Festival attracted over 420,000 people, breaking all attendance records. Essence isn't just about the music but that's the big draw. Tune in tonight and you will see why. More than likely, you will start booking your tickets now or keep your fingers crossed that TV One will make this special an annual event.
