Oh, you\u2019re definitely gonna get it.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re talking about En Vogue<\/a>, of course, the Oakland vocal act that is set to perform the Halftime Show during Game 5 of the WNBA Finals<\/a> between the Golden State Valkyries<\/a> and the Atlanta Dream on Monday at Chase Center in San Francisco.<\/p>\n And R&B-loving hoops fans should be absolutely thrilled with this choice, given that En Vogue<\/a> is one of the finest pop\/soul acts to ever rise out of the Bay Area.<\/p>\n En Vogue<\/a> has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, thanks to such radio-friendly numbers as \u201cMy Lovin\u2019 (You\u2019re Never Gonna Get It),\u201d \u201cGiving Him Something He Can Feel,\u201d \u201cFree Your Mind\u201d and the Salt-N-Pepa<\/a> collaboration \u201cWhatta Man.\u201d Any (or all) of those tunes would surely go over quite well with fans during halftime.<\/p>\n En Vogue<\/a> just performed a big sold-out show<\/a> at the Toyota Pavilion in Concord earlier this month and sounded great. Indeed, En Vogue arguably turned in the finest performance on the all-star bill, which was co-headlined by fellow platinum-plus-selling acts TLC<\/a> and Salt-N-Pepa.<\/p>\n The group\u2019s current lineup consists of three original members \u2014 Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron and, as of last year, Maxine Jones.<\/p>\n Also, the Valkyries have named Dinah Jane, of the band Fifth Harmony, as the national anthem singer for the game.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oh, you\u2019re definitely gonna get it.
