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.
