It about time! I'm pretty sure she'll put on a show stopper!

:D It's about time! Soror A.Keys has two nods as well :cool:

Why is Jay-Z still being nominated for Awards??

I really hope Anthony Hamilton wins something...

I think it's a bit odd that Kanye West is nominated for best gospel artist. It would make more sense to me if he were nominated for gospel songsong. Oh well, let's see who wins!

A lot of these nods are suss..Miri Ben Ari best in HIP HOP??? :rolleyes:

I think that the commercial with Will, Jada and family is so funny. I didn't know that Will's son had grown up so much. :eek:

The Fugees:D

They putting on a mini concert!!!

**wining in my chair**

^^I was thinking the same thing. Imma have to break out me CD in the morning and blast it at work.

Lauryn looks crazy and what is up with her voice? :confused:

She sounded a little hoarse/rusty.

Coming to America!!! BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Wait I know that dude LMAO oh goodness:eek:

WHOA!! Michael Jordan and Juanita out in public together.

Will and Jada's 3 Rules:

D.E.A.D! :o

HALLE: Don't give advice! :p :o

Lawd, what the Sam Hill Tom Cruise doing on these awards?

Mary's shoes were horrible!

I'm loving these Will/Jada skits!

Me too!

Note to Kelly: The role of Beyonce has already been taken!

Watching Destiny's Child
 

Am I the only hoping that Michelle doesn't fall? Cause I got nervous when she was walking down the stairs :cool:

ETA: They worked it!

Re: Watching Destiny's Child
 

Ditto
Although this new little skit with the men is making me laugh. Notice Kelly grabbed Nelly.

DC
 

sugar
honey
iced
tea
:eek:

Ditto!

Re: DC
 

They were clothed dancers from the Snooty Fox. :o :eek:

Oh no! Not "Set it off"!!!!:D

quick thoughts
 

The Fugees... Lauryn please get with a vocal coach. She remeinded me of the Whitney crack performance.

Destiny Child... Terrance Howard really enjoyed that lap dance.

Missy Elliot... Always has a good performance.

John Legend... Loved the duet with Stevie Wonder.

Queen Latifah... The Set it Off girls punked Anthony Anderson.

The Game... Any set with Mary J. is hot.

Kimberly Elise's dress -- hated it.

Please come back to MiMi, whoever you are. :o LOL

Okay. No Mike, but we got Tito. :o

:D 40 years of Class and Elegance :) Yes Yes Gladys Knight :)

Add Faith's Dress to that list.

1) Who is that foine man beside Soror?

2) Steve Harvey is a plum FOOL!

3) It took approximately 1/4 yd. material for Toni Braxton's dress

4) Thought Faith did a good job on her song (and I was skeered she was gon' trip on that dress).

Gladys looks absolutely radiant tonight! :D

That man that is by her side is GORGEOUS!! :D

Dat's her honey-do!


Fitting: Alicia presents Gladys with the award! NO pinky...NADA! :p
Did you all see MoNique? Yeah, she's preggers. Look at that nose! :o


Dat's my song..."Neither one of us..."

Sorry did not see this thread over here...but yess I absolutely love Gladys Knight! She looks beautiful with her fyne husband.

Mariah Carey was not working for me tonight...:rolleyes:

ETA: DITTO on everyones comments. LOL@ Toni Braxton's dress being made with 1/4yds. Could her split be any higher??:eek:

I thought about the same thing (Alicia and Gladys).

And Soror, you are crazy (MoNique's nose)! Is it spreading, like the old folks say?

Spreading like a wildfire!:o

She was holding on to some cute dude too. :D

Why is it bothering me that the voiceover guy is saying "Gentuhmen" and not pronouncing the "l"?

OMG @ the lap dance. They should play a PRINCE song.
