Mary J looked GREAT. I wish my stomach looked like that!

Beyonce (although I can't stand her) TORE UP "Dangerously in Love". IMO, that was the best I have ever seen her. Might have to cop that album when it comes out!

Whitney's stomach. . .no comment

Ashanti really needed to take off the peacock.

And Chaka needs to give back the cavewoman outfit.

Back with more later.

Thanks Gina for the pictures but I need a pic of ASH NAPPY and that flaming hot poo that she called an outfit last night. Did u notice that everyone had a different outfit for each performance but ASH NAPPY -- she only had prom wear and flaming hot poo. . . .It's Murdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Oh and was I the only one who caught Stevie's hearing aids.

Bro. Jones · #35 05-23-2003, 10:02 AM

Beyonce' did well

since i watched it on tape, i fast forwarded through Ashanti

Chaka's performance was on point

Stevie was being Stevie

*he didnt have to do poor Jewel like that*

Sharon was grand

Terralyn Ramsey looks as if she has lost some weight (and it look sgood on her). SHE CAN BLOW!

She wrecked other parts of the song AFTER the high note.

Whitney And Bobby Stir Things Up In Vegas

Whitney Houston's stay in Las Vegas for Divas Live on VH-1 has produced its usual amount of gossip, innuendo and strange facts.

Houston was seen coming out of the AAA Ear, Nose and Throat medical group this morning, according to my sources. I am told she went there with a bloody nose. Her spokespeople, however, insist that nothing is wrong.

"Whitney went to see an ears, nose and throat doctor this morning because it's so hot here," said Lynn Volkman, a publicist who is traveling with Houston. "Nothing else has happened." Volkman denied that Houston's nose had been bleeding.

A secretary in the medical office said she did not know what Houston's prognosis was.

Houston's stay in Las Vegas has not been trouble-free. According to my sources, last night her husband, singer Bobby Brown, had an incident in the Bellagio Hotel & Casino. Around 6 p.m., Brown is said to have been approached by a high roller who wanted to gamble with Brown. He handed him $5,000 for that purpose. "Then Bobby split with the money and couldn't be found," says my source.

Hotel security was called, and when Brown was found he was dining alone in the back of a restaurant in the Bellagio. "He was escorted back to his and Whitney's villa to explain everything," my source says.

"When Whitney found out, she hit the roof, and the two of them had a terrible fight," says my source.

Whitney's team says they do not know what Brown was doing last night.

Tonight, the couple is supposed to appear together singing the song 'My Love' on the VH-1 show. The producer of the show, Rick Krim, jumped on the phone from rehearsal where Whitney was busy putting the finishing touches on the finale with Stevie Wonder.

"There's been a great vibe here. Whitney's been on time for everything and she sounds great. We're really looking forward to tonight's show."

Overall, the show was OK. I might watch the rerun this weekend.

I was wondering if Whitney was preggers - thanks for the clarifications.
Mary - she didn't have to scream.
Ashanti - why was she even there????
Beyonce - I try not to like her, but her performance was really good.

Sharon - she looked great.

This is what I think Celine looks like with her new hairdo:

I love Tarralyn, and I've been voting for her. However, I think she's playing herself. Just by her being on this show, and by some of the things that she has said, she is making it look as if she only recorded a Gospel CD to get paid. She made a statement that said something to the effect of ," People may know of Tarralyn Ramsey the Gospel Artist, but what they don't know is that Tarralyn the Gospel Artist didn't have $100 in her bank account." Plus, you have to question her management and record company. What kind of contract did they really have her under not to make any cash? John P. Kee produced her. That's enough to sell CD's by itself. Plus, when she was in the studio on the show, and they interviewed her, she said that she had to "detox" herself and stop singing like a "straight up church girl." Honey...if you were born to sing in church, you're gonna sound like a "straight up church girl" no matter what you sing! There' s nothing wrong with it! I sound like a straight-up church girl when I sing and I'm proud of it!

I have read articles dated back to when she first came out, and she was saying that she has turned down mainstream contracts because she was doing what God called her to do. This was back in her early teens. Now? I'm not the one to say that she has abandoned her calling, but that's how it looks.

i want to start by saying that there were a LOT of really talented sisters that auditioned for VH1 born to diva-- i know if certain individuals would have agreed with their contract, TOMEY wouldn't have been there. now, i don't want to rag on tomey(since i am from MIAMI!), but #1: the divas that made it in MIAMI looked like a hot mess; i know they could have found better than that in south florida! and #2: tomey has a different kind of style and i think you have to appreciate that before you can say that she just plain out sucks. i didn't think ENO from london was that hot until i stopped to appreciate the quality of her voice...
now, on to TARRALYN. that girl can sing like it is NOBODYS business. i am going to go out and totally buy her gospel CD because tommy mottola was right: GOD really does live in her voice. when she sang in the finals in NY, i got tears in my eyes. that being said, i think that we really can't judge her decision to sing secular music because, hell, she may have been using this born to diva thing as a stepping stone to bigger things. only she and GOD know her rationale and her planning and personal motivation. to insinuate that she is selling out what she feels to be her calling is something we really can't do. just because it may appear that way on the outside to us doesn't mean that it is necessarily so.
also, the comments she made about "singing like a straight up church girl" simply apply to the situation. the producers didn't want her to have a gospel sound because it didn't flow with her song-- she can't get hated on for saying she had to "detox"; she was giving them what they wanted. and about "tarralyn ramsey the gospel singer not having 100 dollars in her bank account": she was just keeping it real. in essence, to me, she is was more of less saying, "don't get it twisted--i'm here to get the same big break as everybody else". perhaps her previous deal didn't afford her that. either way, i don't think she was trying to say that she only did gospel at the point in her life for the money. but if she did, she wouldn't be the only one. my girl yolanda adams even said that when she was making the choice to sing gospel, she was asked to do jazz, which is secular. she said by her reasoning, it made more sense to gospel because it was want she felt in her heart, but also because she felt that gospel was more lucrative than jazz. at the end of the day, we all gotta get paid!
i think no matter what, tarralyn will do great things and as was said before, GOD will still get the glory.

I know, I know. I was worried that the picture wouldn't show up.

But you gotta admit, that heffa looked like Woodstock in a dress.

librasoul22 · #43 05-23-2003, 11:13 AM

My thoughts:

Mary can sound awful but I will still love to see her perform because she gives it 200% every single time. And she is looking GREAT!

Chaka still sounds awesome.

WHITNEY. OMG. She sounded like hot azz trash. Not EVEN going to comment on the Whitney/Bobby. Her voice sounds just godawful now.

Beyonce DID THE THANG last night y'all. She looked great, sounded great.

Loved Latifah as host. The Chicago thing was cute.

Jewel....um...can I get you to MOVE? I was LMAO at Proud Mary when Beyonce was all Tina-ed out and trying to get Jewel to dance. That was the stiffest shimmy ever. And who knew you could turn a Stevie song into folk?

Celine...$%3g90vm-34579g-32h omgomgomg, WHOOOOOO told her to e29g38m705735q no words

You guys, Ashanti wasn't THAT bad, lol. I liked that she kind of stayed out of the way. She knows she is not a DIVA in the vein of Mary and Chaka, she was just happy to be there.

TERRALYN, YOU REPRESENTED!!! THAT'S MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATE Y'ALL!!!!

ETA: I also thought it was hilarious that Terralyn BLEW UP a Whitney song, then Whitney came on right after and sounded like steamy garbage.

That was SITUATIONAL IRONY at its best.

NUPE4LIFE · #45 05-23-2003, 03:01 PM

WHITNEY, WHITNEY, WHITNEY! And one time she arguably had the best voice of our generation. She should go into early retirement to save what is left of her mystique as an artist. I agree pretty much with what everyone else said about the other artist. Oh, QUEEN LATIFAH TRYING TO LOOK GOOD NOW!
