La'Porsha Renae slays "Summertime" at ESSENCE Fest, and reminds all of us why she was the crowd favorite during American Idol's final season.
This year’s ESSENCE Festival was truly one for the books, and many of the greatest moments came from some of today’s rising R&B talents.
American Idol starlet La’Porsha Renae was easily the favorite of the show’s final season, which ended back in April, and she brought her immense talent to New Orleans over the weekend to give ESSENCE Fest attendees a taste of what’s to come in the near future. Stopping by the press room just before hitting the stage, La’Porsha effortlessly belted out her rendition of “Summertime.”
