The warmup was great! The stage guys know their job (getting people pumped) and do it well. The idea is simple enough: people with talents (vocal-musical, vocal-spoken word/comedy, instrument-musical) show off their talent and the audience either boo-s you off stage or votes which is best. The audience, being seated in the heart of Harlem, is definitely biased towards black artists (started booing a white girl on her first note!). They loved a black guy that had no regular talent, but chose a song he knew would cater towards the hip hop-living audience.
