Devante needs to stay off the...whatever he's on! And the hair....I'm not gonna even go there cuz he already did!

I agree, my roommate and I were talking about that Jodeci mess. What in the world was going on there...? They ALL looked messed up!!! YUCK!

[DELTABRAT]

The good:

Lil Bow Wow (not the performance. He's too young to move and rap ate the same time so the other guy was doing it). He's cute though. Why was his hair longer than and flyer than any of the females on stage.

Ced and Steve (nuff said)

Christina (she can sing.)

Bobby Kritsina (a little chunky but still sounded cute when she said "My mommy" as opposed to "Ma mama" like you'd think Whitney and Bobby's child may say).

Jay-Z performance

Eve performance. Gwen Stefani is a typical WG. I can appreciate that. Her lack of rhythm and Eve's steet saavy complemented one another.

The BAD:

Jodeci (what was up with K-Ci's mouth? Was he chewing tobacco or something?) Embarrassing.

Hell..everything else.

Why Whitney? Why? Has she wmoked her lungs out or what? She wasn't singing at all. She reved up for the "grand finale" to the best song she's ever had and couldn't do it. She let ole girl do it instead. I am so disappointed in her. Cissy looks like she is too.

The UGLY:

Mary J's speech and clothes. Why we gotta be at our awards shows looking like all our "good" clothes are at the cleaners/laundry mat. She looked crazy.

DC: Outfitswere awful and why did Beyonce swing her hair in the camera at all?

Well, I look forward to the Image Awards again. The only show which represents US in a decent light.

Ok I have to put in my 2 cents into this nice discussion. Here are my nominees for the First Annual Trifling Awards 2001 Edition

1) Whitney Houston: OH LAAAAAWD will someone please tell her to stop hittin dat chronic because Bobby Brown IS NOT and WILL NEVER BE the king of RB. How can she say that even with the likes of Luther on stage. When did the line between class and ghetto get so blurred that one can not gracefully, tactfully and humbly accept a lifetime achievement award.

2) This was a close tie- Mary J. Blige. I...mean..if...she...could....not...remember...wha t...to...say..to...Whitney...they........should... have...gotten..someone..who..can..
make..a..better...tribute. Next time, leave the grammar school looseleaf paper at home. And what de hell was up with the shredded dress. Can someone send her to finishing school, she's got alot of rough edges when it comes to formal events.

3. All people who don't know that you spit out the gum before going on stage

4. Traci Bingham- I will weave wat wargument awone....Its a shame that she only knows she is Black on Black awards shows.

5. Ananda Lewis: Will someone tell her that the Native American look went out last year. No matter how many designer duds I see her wear, she still looks blah

6. Jodeci-They make the Jamaican accent come out..Is who de hell dat bwoy Devante tink him is wid dat hairstyle? Him look like one fool

7. Shaquille O'neal- He got punked by Eve and looked like a big A@#. I was not feeling that big ass hoop in the ear either. He needs to get Steve Harvey's tailor.

8. Gwen Stefani- You thought we did not notice that you was off beat...gotcha. You did your thing though

9. AJ- Will someone tell him that glittery pants are NOT the way to go. Star on Hot 97 in NYC definitely was right when he calls him Predator. Why does Free always cut him off or try to crack on him when the camera is on.

10. Beanie Siegel- Take off dem hot ass Timbs in Vegas and go get a shave and a bath.

I think I have vented myself fully...whew, now I feel better. :-D

Y'all got me cracking the hell up. I haven't had a computer at home for a minute, so I wasn't able to post anything about the awards. I'm still having problems with my phone line at home, but I'm back to work today.

So here is what I have to say about the awards.

I agree with everyone with that Jodeci thing. What the hell was going on with Devante? First off why was he grabbing his ding ding like that? That hair, and what the heck was that bag he had over his shoulder. I was cracking the hell up.

Y'all have commented on everything that I was thinking, but I have to ask one thing what was up with Cissy Houston? Her hair and her attire looked a hot mess!!

When is it showing again? I missed some stuff.

[korkscru]

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies!!! Have you all forgotten?! Mary J. does not even have a High School diploma or GED. So, to be honest, I didn't expect her to do as well as she did. But I like her though. She could have been more prepared. But I still like her.

Now does anyone think that Gwen Stifani's big a** SHOES might have had SOMETHING to do with her being RHYTHMLESS!!!!

And ladies, let's get THIS straight. Devante' was NOT carrying a BAG or SACK. Homeboy was really and truly carrying a PURSE.

One other thing was Ray J. and his plug for his new album. I can't STAND that BOY (yes, he's a boy to me). Why is it that he tries to come off as soooooo hip, ghetto, bad, etc., etc.? It just ain't working.

I now wish that I would have watched the rest of the show (the part after Whitney's so-called performance). But by THAT time, I was soooooo DISGUSTED, my stomache couldn't take anymore. It's a shame that a littl white girl (Christina) sang Whitney's song better than Whitney could. I believe that Whitney is STILL on drugs. Bobby done beat up on her so much that she is just GONE.

I mean FOR REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's just be honest, this 1ST ANNUAL BET AWARDS SHOW was jacked up!!!!

OKAAAY? I nearly cried when I saw how Whitney looked and behaved. What a mess! We need to thank Bobby Brown(that's what Whitney said)? For what? Turning her into a druggie? To me, it was a very sad moment.

for keeping her alive...though barely...

what does education have to do with artistic talent?

[korkscru]

SableCherub, education has NOTHING to do with artistic talent. But it SURE has something to do with one's ability to READ accurately. I had no problem with Mary J. reading from her notes. It was the fact that she was not able to "flow" with it that was the issue. Now whether one thinks that she has ARTISTIC TALENT or not is another thing. No matter how you look at it, SOMEBODY thinks that she has ARTISTIC TALENT because homegirl is RICH. And (hearing this from Mary's own mouth in an interview that she did with Ed Gordon) although she is rich, she is unable to handle her own money because she DID NOT FINISH SCHOOL. She admits that she has difficulty with certain things BECAUSE she did not complete her education. And for that I say that I can understand why she had problems reading her speech on the other night.

Just my opinion.

I think the 1st EVER BET Awards Show (not 1st ANNUAL, b/c there's no such thing as 1st annual) was alright. It was obviously an attempt to begin the same type of tradition that the MTV Awards has...same stage, etc.
I thought Ray J was embarassing. I think he is very UNcool and is too young. Brandy made fun of his raunchy lyrics...but his mother needs to ring his neck for them. He tries to be the exact opposite of Brandy. (Uh, Ray J, if your sister wasn't raised to behave low budget and thugged out...chances are neither were you/are you.)

[MeezDiscreet]

okay, ya'll, i missed the show and i shol hate it. but, if the show is any funnier than ya'll commentary, i am in for a treat!! and, for those who want to know, it will air again tuesday.

okay, i just had to let ya'll know what comments had me sitting in front of the computer crying because i was laughing so hard! here goes...

12dn94dst saying mary's dress looked like shredded wheat!!

devante's purse!

pink ivy saying that the show was [/b]ugly[/b]! hahaha. and, her telling whitney to "STOP refering to BOBBY as the KING OF POP"

reds6 calling jojo the "fat one" lmao!!! and whitney being "naturally ghetto" roflmao!!!!

i have got to quote monique: "CRACK WILL MAKE U DO ,ACT, AND SAY FUNNY THINGS"

and deltabrat: "Why we gotta be at our awards shows looking like all our "good" clothes are at the cleaners/laundry mat"

nicci19 busting the jamaican accent out on devante--too much for good ol' Meez Discreet

and as a side note, did you all know that ray-j's new album is only $6.99 at target??!! hahaha!! wait a minute...you can't roll a millenium testerosa when your recently released album costs the same as a meal at jack-in-the-box!!!

ROFLMAO!! The same thing happened when Case's 2nd CD came out a couple of years ago.

Ray J needs an attitude adjustment. He's WANTS TO BE DOWN with the Thugified Element when he knows his Mom will be BROKENHEARTED if he gets with Lil' Kim

I can't take credit for that one. That was a CT4 original. I wasn't really paying attention on that part cuz I wuz doing my nails.

[DELTAQTE]

SORORS I AM DYING OVER HEA! LOL!

Why did my friend say that she thought Luther Vandross was finally going to come out when he came out to sing "all the man that I need?" she was like "thank goodness" but was disgusted when he sang "all the woman I need" she was like "he lying to all us sistas." lol!

And I think BET should stand for BLACK EMBARASSING TELEVISION from now on! lol!

You know the source awards is coming up soon, lawd help us!
