Kenny ‘Babyface’ Edmonds is experiencing the holidays just like every family does. The singer and producer who is known for his soulfulness recently treated his kids to a spectacular show at the newest of the Las Vegas attractions. He posted on Facebook as follows: ‘We took the kids to see The Wizard of Oz at the @spherevegas yesterday! It was so much fun.’ An innocent Facebook post not only gave us a glimpse of Babyface’s life outside the limelight but also quickly attracted an audience who started to comment with various feelings, from sincere to hilarious.
Difficult to miss, the most popular topic was the family resemblance that was almost uncanny. One user imprinted the thought, ‘Do your kids actually know that their father is the GOAT? The wizard of R&B.’ A different user went even further by saying, ‘Man, can you say copy and paste? These totally are his kids without any doubt. Just check their bone structure and features.’ Genetic similarity kept flowing throughout the comments with many telling how much the kids took after him. This led to very lighthearted but still discussing bragging rights and genetics.
This post was not only family pictures; it was also a strong recommendation of the Sphere experience as well. The venue’s official account responded, ‘So glad you stopped by.’ One of the followers who commented on the post wrote, ‘Yessssss, It’s an AMAZING show recommend everyone to go!’ Another person said, ‘It was awesome! The sphere is a must-see!’ All the replies regarding the sphere show were indeed very positive and as a result, the show got more and more famous, and Babyface’s visit was a quite relatable and aspirational family outing during the festive season.
However the most festive voices and comments were in the minorities. Among them, the negative and critical voice that was alleging, ‘Honestly, who really gives a rat’s ass about you?, and then you ignore me like your crap don’t stink.’ The comment was a very strong negative remark that juxtaposed all the other positive ones. It appears that even at public appearances, celebrities are still scrutinized by the public’s critical eye. The comment received no response and the conversation continued with warmer sentiments.
Among the users, one got really imaginative in his replies. He was asking if he could get a song out of the whole thing. The other one asked for a specific cover from him, ‘I wish Babyface would do his version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.’ The posts just pointed out that the artist was still in the game and the fans could still associate his private life with his art.
Moreover, a small discussion, this one light-hearted, arose from the post when it comes to parenting terminology. One, who happened to be a non-parent, commented, ‘You took ur young adult off spring. I hate when my parents say that and then correct me and say ur my child. I ain’t no child that ain’t no child.’ This comment opened up the floor for discussion about the parental habit of referring to grown-up children as ‘kids’, a habit that many people in the audience could relate to.

Fans can look forward to his upcoming South Africa tour.
