Just some more observations:

Why when people spoke, did I feel like I was watching a cheap Chinese martial arts movie? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

Why, for like the first hour, did everyone (including background rappers like Natedog) lip sync? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif

Who let Traci Bingham in? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Despite songs w/ potential, Usher and Sisqo are tired. Why do they, and Genuine, insist on believing they are the next Michael Jackson?

Why when rappers perform (Jay Z), do some 30-40 other rappers (none which we know) end up on stage, all of which are said to currently be in the studio with albums dropping in 2002, 2003...?

Why is DC everywhere and what do they want from us?

Bobby Brown: R&B king??? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

Mary J and Devante looked a complete mess.

Best of the best: Donnie and Patti, Christina and Luther's Whitney tribute, and Outkast.

Ok, now I'm starting to get mad! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif I think while my ex was flippin back and forth between channels during commercials (why do men always do that???), I must have missed some stuff!!!! When did Ced have on a pink suit????????????????? I thought they had on the tuxes all night!!

Who is Traci Bingham?

About the fur thing, we said it was a squirrel!! LMAO! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Thank you, thank you,thank you! I didn't view yesterday's awards. Now, thanks to these pictures and everyone's commentary, I feel as if I had viewed the show. I know that my fellow GChatters weren't expecting to see a class act, as these shows rarely are such. If I were able to view the show, I would have done so anticipating much comedy from my peoples! They are a trip ya'll!

After Whitney's performance but before Outkast performed, CED put on his Pink ruffled EASTER SUIT from 73 to show 2 things: YOSKEE LOVE and how he is SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN!! Steve put on a Silvery Glittery tux jacket as well.

Why oh why did Beyonce and Chilrren have on those sequined/meshed/asymmertical gowns? Who told them that they were cute?

Why oh why did Devante embarrass the hell outta Jodeci by doing the following:
*not combing his "hair"-that dried out,jheri curled, half cut mess on his head was ridiculous
*wearing those white "WANTED" moonboots? (For you ladies that don't know, WANTED are shoes that you only find in low-budget shoe stores)
*that fur pouch-WTF??

Why oh why did none of Jay-Z's crew wanna show love to Devante? They all tried to steer clear from his path, but he made it his mission to hug every guy that came on stage.

I was so mad, I went to sleep after Patti performed-that's my girl!

yall have me cracking the f u ..lmbao.. mannn this awards was *as they say in neworleans* A HOT MESS. from devanta..to crack head whitney..uuu betta lay low..lol.. did yall see when jay-z got on stage and nelly and his clique, snoop and his clique got on stage.. i was like wtf.. now its ofically GHETTO http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif.. man.. i'm just at lost for words right now. i'm to busy lol..

I thought it was live. Am I wrong?

Nope, you're right, it was live. (Did yall watch the pre-show? Free and AJ were making some mistakes, lol, and they blamed them on the show being live, LOL)

Maybe the lips were off due to transmission time. If we were seeing it live (via satellite?), then the image will come before the sound. Right? I really just thought of this, but last night, I was ticked about that!!! LOL!

Wasn't the show pre-empted with BET Tonight because it ran too long? I assume those awards were presented after that. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif
BTW, Eastcoast, your post was too cute. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

And did somebody post that Bobby has a child that's the same age as Bobbi Christina??? Wtf??

much respect...

*on a serious tip for a sec*
while i was over here laughing at some of the stuff that many of you had posted...there was a moment when the ish just stopped being funny.
all i could do is shake my head and think...
"black folx can't do ish right!"
and Viacom allowed us to see how we can be more than ignorant. Black folx showed their asses last night...*with some notable exceptions i read*
other than that...its obvious that BET will after a fiasco such as this...*among other sad issues with BET...it has always been bootleg*
Eventually...i can definitely see Viacom making BET into Urban MTV or MTV Soul. Just as VH1 has an all Urban/Soul network and so does STARZ (BET/STARZ).
Its very distressing that we, as black people, continue to show ourselves as modern day minstrels. Spike Lee had it right on in Bamboozled.

Hey sorry if I brought the party down...it just really had to be said.

Peace

I was wondering this too... first the grinding in the video, which I dismissed as business as usual... but then did you notice how they panned over to her when he finished the performance? She was looking all giggly and schoolgirl-crush-like. It was kinda cute and kinda disgusting all at the same time. Isn't she quite a bit older than him, or am I mistaken?

I said it and here is my proof: All right call me bored, call me obsessed with the truth but I have a stack of old Ebonys, one featuring Ms. Whitney on the cover and it is the Dec. 1998 issue. Quoting from page 162, " She also says that Bobby is a good and loving father to their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, and also to his other 3 children, ages 13, 9 and 6." Now in this same article BK is 5 and Whitney and Bobby were married for like 2 years before little BK was born soooooooooo Bobby was stepping out on WHIT.
