The winners are based on what happened on the charts. If you keep up with them, the awards will be predicable (hint, 50 and Mariah will clean house).

Not another awards show. :rolleyes: :D :p

TTT
 

*singing* Get Ready...Tonight! Gonna make this a night to remember...

Did anyone watch this?
 

For the most part, it was boring. They need to start making awards shows more interesting.

To Mariah: I thought you were laying off the short dresses. I hope you didn't drop anything. I still love you, though. I also love the quote when you talked about dreams. I was really feeling that.:)

To Gwen: What was that on your head? Whatever that was should have been left at home!:eek:

To 50 Cent: Show up to awards shows that you know you are going to win at. Watch, come Grammy time, you're going to be complaining you showed up and watched Kanye and Eminem win the awards you should have won (which is what exactly is going to happen). And why you were promoting that movie in Europe? No one in America saw it so why do you think they want to?

To Ugly Ricky: Who told ya'll to perform with Ashlee? Please sit down somewhere!

For those who picked the girls in the R. Kelly performance at the pool (he performed twice): I hope ya'll checked ID. :p

To Uncle Charlie: Just because you hang with R. Kelly and Pharell, doesn't make you a smooth pimp.

To LL: I know you thought you were at a concert and were trying to hype up the crowd but there was no hope for them.

To Carrie Underwood: Where did you get your boots from? They were OFF THE CHAIN!

And last, but not least...

To Ye: I LOVE YOU!!!!:D :D

Carrie Underwood was the best vocally last night...she never looks comfortable on stage but she can sang

I know this is weird coming from me but I actually thought Pretty Ricky was not bad at all.... :eek: .. now Ashley Simpson should have never bothered to show up(that was horrible)

LL was such a distraction.. he has TOO much energy....

I wanted Charlie Wilson to actually perform...

R. Kelly is the most DRAMATIC performer.... it's sickening...

Re: Did anyone watch this?
 

Ha!! Why was I watching this last night with my boyfriend and I was like I hope Jitterbug is watching this! He said "Who in the world is Jitterbug and please tell me it's not her name". Then I had to explain everything. He thought I was going crazy.

Yeah, I was watching! I was watching it with my mom and stepdad. She kept saying "What's Kanye trying to say?" My stepdad and I kept telling her that's the way he is. And I was LMAO when he walked out, doing his best George Jefferson strut!:p

Co-sign on RBL on Carrie. I still love those boots. Also co-sign on LL.

My mom asked if Gwen had rollers in her head!:o

Don't feel bad Gina...I have to explain to my mom too about my GC family!

LL looked great.
Gwen sounded great.
LOVED LOVED LOVED Carrie's boots, but wasn't feeling the song.

The show seemed boring to me. Yay for Mariah's continued success, but PLEASE get another sylist, girl!!

Kanye is a trip. I can't wait to see what stunt he pulls at the Grammys. Gwen Stefani looked a hot azz mess. I love me some Gwen but at one point she did look like she had on a robe with curlers in her hair. SMH at her HAM
