Re: Boris and Nicole, that is them in the photo sent by Epitome1920, right? She looks really different and Boris looks a lot darker. I wasn't sure but if that was them but if they are engaged then that's them and she has an engagement ring on her finger.

I didn't watch. I was too busy trying to get to Hollywood for the afterparty that was filled to capacity..I had to take my Black, non-high profile arse home and missed the whole thing.

LA is a circus and looks like Freaknic up in this biaaa! I heard it was a great show. When are the reruns?

[vanda]

Was it humid in the building because a few of the ladies' hairdos seemed jacked up especially Brandy and Beyonce. Beyonce's hair looked like she was trying to pin it up but ran out of pins. The hip hop tribute was on! It just seemed too short. I wish MC Lyte would have done more. Monique looked good doing her Crazy in Love. Did you catch Kanye dancing? I was too tickled.

DeltaBrat,

Check BET over the weekend. I'm sure they will show the repeat of the show at least twice.

They are replaying it Next Tuesday.

Okay, Solange disappeared shortly after the beginning of the show.
I loved MoNique's intro!
Be & Jay need to quit. Could they have been sitting any closer, but yet so far apart?

RICK JAMES.....why did he appear to be a bit "lighter skinned." The gross part was his chest had the nerve to be "lighter skinned" also. So disrespectful.

Alicia Keys...I'm not a fan, but she did well. India Arie sounded beautiful as usual.

50 Cent was kind of quiet....hm, Vivica must have had that fool spooked.

Brandy....whatever

Okay...here's some folks who were MIA (correct me if I'm wrong)
P Diddy
Ced the Entertainer
Nelly
R Kelly

Raven & Tracey Ellis Ross....Boooooooo-wack

Melly Mel (mel mell, whoever) was too swole. He looked like Damon from Friday After Next. Was it me or was him and his crew a little off the chain in the Jackie Reid Afterparty tent?


I did enjoy the Hip Hop Tribute. Last year's show was better.

[Neosoulchild]

I will have to catch the rerun because I only caught bits and pieces of it. I miss the intro that everyone keeps talking about.

I saw India.Arie's performance on the aftershow and I thought she looked beautiful with her hair like that.

Usher's performance was terrible. I'm going to need him to lipsync at his concerts. I would have been mad if I paid to go see that crap.

Brandy looked terrible. It looked like she had on that seaweed she be eating. Her hair was terrible too.

ROFLOL!!!

I just tuned out the ghettoness of the BET awards.

The best part of the show was HIP HOP ON WAX.
It was good to see the Sugar Hill Gang again. Those guys still got it after all those years.

Monique and the Bigger is Better girls
Those girls can dance.

Rick James and Teena Marie
I like the song Fire and Desire. They should have done that song on stage.

Ludacris and the mermaids
WTF

Ludacris' female side kick
Did anyone catch the words on the back of her jacket? WATCH THE WEIGHT. Did she lose a lot of weight?

Beyonce's hair
Love the hair.

India Arie
She shine in the spotlight.

Janet Jackson's intro
Love by so many in one minute, then scorned the next.
You tell them Janet.

That's my report.

[crunkone]

Usher sounded terrible. I know you can dance, sweetie, I wanna hear you sing, okay?

Why did Luda say that was his first award? You would think he woulda had something by now.

I wanted for that Ying Yang twin to just shut up cuz Monique was cutting him up!! Best believe I was CTFU though!!

I didn't catch the show from the beginning, so I'll have more comments after I catch the rerun.

Maybe.

[Sugar_N_Spice]

First off, let me just say WOW @ the ghetto-fab factor...Anyway,

I enjoyed:
*Monique as the host: I'm not a huge fan of hers or anything but girlfriend was working it in the outfits (most of them were very pretty), and w/ her cute hair style & color. I like how she was telling the
Intro/ Crazy in Love Rendition: HI-LARIOUS
*Kanye's Performace w/ Miss Yolanda go on ahead ans shake 'em off!)
*Alicia Keys: good, as usual
*The Isley Borthers' Performance
*India.Arie's Tribute to Ray Charles: Just Beautiful!
*The 25th Aniversary of Hip-Hop Performances: TIGHT! Sugar Hill Gang was on point (who still has it, btw--I'm a younging but my Momma raised me right ), and I was LOVING Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick, and also P. E. (their performance could've been a bit longer, IMO).

My WTF?! and/or LMAO Moments
*Jay-Z: Why didn't Kid Rock know his lyrics
*Outcast: I wasn't really feeling their performance
*Ronald Isley busting out Beyonce and Jay (they looked like deer caught in the headlights)
*Rick James...Dayum I mean first of all the cameras practically went to him & Tina w/out any kind of intro...I looked up and there they were (unless I missed something )...Anyway, WHY OH WHY did h!e have to act a fool? It's that girl's fault though (she should've known who he was).
*Usher: I'm a fan and all, but why was he doing a Britney-Spears-type performance? Sing, Ok?
*Luda: I thought he looked kinda backwards w/ his fro and t-shirt & sneaks, w/ the mermaids in the background LOL @ him giving a thank-you speech that was longer than Ushers, talking bout "I knkow it's your song but I'm feautured on it!"

[ykimber]

What in the H*ll were they thinking when the left the house!?!?!?

RD - Rick James was talking about some woman backstage who may have said something to him in a disrespectful manner. He just decided to blow up on her in public.

I don't believe that. I'm sure that someone may not have known that he was Rick James, but the "I'm Rick James B****" line was SOOO obvious to me. There is NO WAY that he would have been able to be on national LIVE television and not get his shine on. Maybe it's just me, but I saw it a mile away.

ykimber, I actually liked Kanye's look. Then again, I like the quirky preppy look. He was looking a little bit drunk or delirious the way he was dancing around the stage during his performance. He really was acting like someone that has never been anywhere before.

I was NOT feeling Lyte's sheer gown thingy. *thumbs down*

I missed this part, what did he say?

During his acceptance speech, he made a statement about seeing beautiful families out there in the audience. So he said, "Beyonce and Jay-Z..." I may have to watch the tape to get the exact quote.

[Queencece]

Highlights!!!

*Monique and her dancers
*Monique cuttin up the Ying Yang Twin!
*Kanye and Yolanda
*25 yrs of Hip Hop performance
*Isley Brothers even though they could have chosen better songs
*Janet performance before Elephant Man came out
*Mad JayZ put his own band together

WTF was that parts:

*Tracey Ross and Raven
*Usher's performance
*Janet and Elephant Man together
*B's hair
*Kid Rock on 99 Problems
*Malinda Williams' dress
*Carmelo Anthony's "kiss" shot! Boooooo! I know he was hatin life
*People not knowing how to read the teleprompters (excluding Monique, that wasn't her fault)

That's all I can think of know. Be back with more as I remember.
