FRISCO — Dressed in silly kids clothing, Erykah Badu performed as the special guest during the Yo Gabba Gabba tour running through Frisco. Yo Gabba Gabba is a children's television show on Nick Jr. that features five mascot-like characters: Muno (the red cyclops), Foofa (the pink flower bubble), Brobee (a little hairy green monster), Toodee (the blue cat-dragon), and Plex (the magic yellow robot).

The fact that Badu was Dallas' special guest was hyped after Snoop Dogg was the special guest when Gabba toured through Los Angeles and New York City. (Also joining him was Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder, The Roots, Keri Russell, and Sarah Silverman.)

For kids (and parents) who are into the Gabba show, the songs and dances at the Dr Pepper Arena delighted the audience. Kids ran out in the aisles to gather up balloons and confetti as they rained from the ceiling.
