BET Awards
 
:eek: I did see the awards and for the life of me I can't understand why it lasted so long.They did that last year. 2 hours is enough!!!Free always looks a mess. I don't see why someone can't help her get dressed better. I think Nelly is the finest man I have seen in a while,so of course I think he did good!!But what is up with Cash Money??Lil Wayne has a new CD called 500 degrees and all they kept saying is 500 not 400, like Juvenile's album!!

Was it just me, or were you surprised that Laila Ali didn't say anything about her Dad when she got her award??:confused:

Mary just needs to get it together. Sometimes she dresses okay but others..I don't what she's thinking. But at least her hair didn't look like a mop like it does on those BET commercials and that video she has.

All I have to say is Black Folks,we need to get it together.:cool:

I KNOW I'm late...
 
IMO, I think the show was better than last year.

I saw the post-show (BET tonight/News). Ed Gordon interviewd India.Arie. She mentioned the fact that she was a little perplexed when she had accepted her award, because of "Suge". I was like :confused:, I missed that part. I'm glad you all put that information up as to what happened.

Jill was also interviewed. She commented on the fact that it was a great experience to be on stage with Yolanda, etc. doing their tribute to Ali. She said it was really good to be with those who could SANG and didn't complain that they could not be heard. LOL. I do not know if you all noticed but when the show was ending and the credits were rolling, Alicia Keys was missing. Angie, Jill, and Yolanda were still on stage singing. Could she hang? :confused:

Yall got me rolling:) . I pretty much enjoyed the show, especially Chaka Khan, though she was a bit hoarse from all that touring she's doing.

I love EW&F, went to see them and Chaka last September.

I have to agree, why in the world does Mary have to act a fool when she sing these days? I get nervous whenever she sings "No More Drama." Whew, she goes crazy.

Who does Usher think he is? I tell ya, he makes me wanna bang my head against a wall whenever I see him perform or on video. Nerve wrecking I tell ya.

Gerald Levert and Tweet performed well. As a matter of fact, believe it or not, you can put Tweet's album on from #1 and let it play all the way through.

JaRule - Thats my dawg, but dang, I felt like the show was a tribute to him.

Janet - I swear I'm gonna marry that woman

Jill Scott - Love her to death, but she looked like a starnated fool (ole country term) :)

India Arie - I'm glad they gave her the award. I wish she would have performed.

Steve and Ced - Hilarious

Lalah Ali - one word...GHETTO! I love it. Sounds like she's straight out of Detroit.

Did you guys notice that with all of her stomping and jumping around, she had to place her right tit back into her bra cup...MORE THAN TWICE!!! For the LIFE of me, I can't understand why she wears such nice outfits in her videos, but on the awards shows, she's like totally busted. I just don't get it.

Why is JaRule (and I really like him too) acting like he's as drunk as a skunk? "Cut the check"? What's up with THAT?

Why is Puffy looking like he just came off of the farm? I realize that his outfit may cost more than a month's pay for me, but with all of his money (and the SeanJohn collections) why is he dressing like that?

And tell me why did New Edition get up there trying to solicit their new album and tour, ESPECIALLY BEFORE announcing who the winner of that category was? They're totally BOOTY!!!

Gosh, I love Angie Stone (she's also from S.C.), but does she look like the type to be with D'Angelo? Well, it really doesn't matter, does it because she WAS with him and she has his son, right?

Yall I don't care what Jill Scott wears, how her hair is done, or what she sings, JILL IS MY GURRRL!!!!! But in all honesty, that outfit just does not do her ANY justice.

I tell ya. Most of the time I actually DRED watching the awards shows for Black people because something usually happens or someone usually acts like a fool. Luckily, ony ESSENCE has been able to avoid most of that for their award show.

I'll be back with more comments later.

:D

Now, reading all these posts, I think I will have to catch the repeat of this show. See, you made me curious like that.

Earlier, someone mentioned about Laila Ali not thanking her father. This evening I saw Bryant Gumbel's show on HBO. There was a piece on Ali. Ali isn't too enthused that his daughter is boxing. He doesn't really like it at all. He said that women were not made for boxing, they were not meant to be hit in their face and their breasts. (paraphrasing)


Maybe this is why she didn't thank him, per se. :confused: I guess she could have mentioned him as "Dad"...:confused:


Oh, and Tweet. She did well with Gerald Levert. I may have to purchase the CD. She does have some "pipes" on her.

:D

Girl, you HAVE to get that album...it runs rings about Ashanti's and that's no lie!

Have y'all ever thought about why Jill Scott nor Angie Stone were nominated for Best Female Vocalist or Best Female Album? Their stuff bumps!!! Somebody help me with that one right there!

Another reason is because she has issues with her father from growing up. She states in her book that he was never around when seh was growing up, her father was out doing his thing, and with other women, and that is one of the reasons that ended up hanging with the wrong crowd, and going to juvi hall.
