It wasn't that bad people!!! Whitney is always good for a laugh. That's the way I look at it. Was I the only one who noticed something was coming out of her dress?? As far as I'm concerned they should have called it the BET Music Awards. I thought black entertainment was more than just videos. Oh well. Eve holding up the Sixers jersey in Shaq's face was my favorite moment.After watching the awards am I the only one who is NOT excited about the Jodeci reunion?

Side note....those gowns worn by DC3 are actually recycled. I have seen them in those same gowns at another award show. Now you know Momma Knowles knows better than that. But then again maybe not, since she set them up in those oogly ensembles for the halftime show....just my thoughts.

*DISCLAIMER* Not hating on them just expressing my observarions.

WTF her hair looked a mess, she weighed about two pounds, she sounded terrible, she was hoppin around the blasted stage, AND she kept singin other people's songs like beyonce and dem's survivor. i almost passed out when she was talkin to somebody in the audience and said "you betta lay low!" i felt embarrassed for her!

I said it and here is my proof: All right call me bored, call me obsessed with the truth but I have a stack of old Ebonys, one featuring Ms. Whitney on the cover and it is the Dec. 1998 issue. Quoting from page 162, " She also says that Bobby is a good and loving father to their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, and also to his other 3 children, ages 13, 9 and 6." Now in this same article BK is 5 and Whitney and Bobby were married for like 2 years before little BK was born soooooooooo Bobby was stepping out on WHIT.

Crimsontide4..we must be on the same nphc listserv........lol

I'm just mad that BET didn't specify a dress code. Had this been the grammys or american music awards folks would have attempted to dress to impress. At Black award shows they seem to not give a damn and dress like they going to the club.....

Yall are too crazy!! You know while I was watching this last night all I was thinking was "I know they're going to be clownin' on Greekchat!!"

Here's what I think about it:

1. I agree with Ideal08--yall should've known it was going to be st8 ghetto!!

2. Ain't that the truth...and I love Mary but...

3. Devante's hair!! WTF?? Even DC's hair looked better than his for once (although you know Solange still ahd them ugly red braids in her face...)--he should have asked Kelly could he borrow one of her wigs (like the one it looked like she was wearing last night!)...And what was up with the tatoo on his face?!

No one wanted to get near him, LOL. Yall know, I heard he was into some gay-type stuff...People need to "JUST SAY NO"...didn't you have "DARE" in elementary school? Him and Whitney need to go to rehab together...

4. LOL Also, I thought I was the only one that noticed that those dresses look VERY Similar to ones that hteyy have previously wore...

5. That's right, Cocoa Caramel--I like Eve too, but after she did that I was like "Steve's gonna check her..." Don't hate! She can be mad all she wants to but the fact is the Lakers won!!

6. Why did Usher lip-sync (sp?) half of his performance (not all of it, just half)? And what's up with him and Chilli (I know she had a baby with their producer Dallas but I heard she's with Usher now)? Isn't she too old for him?

7. Yall are too mean, clowning on Lil Bobbi...My mom said that too!!

I didn't pay to much attention to Cissy, I was too busy marveling over how Bobby Brown gave birth to that chile, cuz she don't look NOTHIN like Whitney. That's frightening. She looks JUST like him.

8. Lastly, was I the only one that noticed that the award show was just tooooooo long? Why was it 2 1/2 hours long? And what happended to the other categories (such as bset athlete)? Maybe it was b/c Whitney's acceptance speech was 10 dayum min. long...

LadyAKA · #67 06-20-2001, 05:59 PM

I caught Whitney’s crack-head performance and I saw Mary J reading the damn paper ... now Mary is my girl, go to all her concerts - love her to death but come on throw the sun glasses on and call it a day she must have lost a contact or maybe that damn wig was in her damn eyes ... anyway Christina rocked it, but Whitney was too happy that she sung it well, I have heard better renditions.

Yet, with all the hot mess that you all say happened I am dying to see the re-broadcast!

I loveded (yes loveded) me some jodeci ... after what yall said I gotta check them out again ... so maybe I will have another update when I see it. Peace yall!!

I was wondering this too... first the grinding in the video, which I dismissed as business as usual... but then did you notice how they panned over to her when he finished the performance? She was looking all giggly and schoolgirl-crush-like. It was kinda cute and kinda disgusting all at the same time. Isn't she quite a bit older than him, or am I mistaken?

They also attened toni's wedding together - right? I saw they together somewhere in a mag

DANG, HeartBrAKA how you gon call me out?? J/J. You see the other day I took 2 topics from GC to liven up NPHC. Who are you on NPHC? E-mail me when you get a chance.

Also Whitney's lining at the top was coming out, I peeped that. She needs to cuss her designer out because although I am sure that dress is available at Lazarus, I am sure she had it made by some designer who ripped her off.

I figured between Steve's silver glitter jacket and his "puffy" hairdo, he was trying to be the black Rod Roddy (COME ON DOWNNNN!!!)

Just my opinion

Hello Ladies and Gents, I thought I take my comments and share them with you. I am having a field day reading the posts.

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

ROTFLMBO!!!

Nicci you are too funny!

AKA2D '91 · #74 06-20-2001, 09:23 PM

On Tom Joyner this morning, they said that The Original King of R&B meant the King of Rolling Blunts...LOL

also, they said R&B means Robert Brown, as in Bobby Brown!

maxx5 · #75 06-20-2001, 09:34 PM

I'm not sure if it was "The Tom Joyner Morning Show" or "The Russ Pharr Show" this morning...but they said that the award show was very good....

..What show did they watch??? I couldn't take anymore of the show after the Jodeci mess, so I changed the channel. I guess I expected a little more out of BET ( I don't know why considering their programing choices of informercials and re-runs of Sparks and That's my Mama 7 days a week

!)
BUT...after listened to the radio this morning, I thought that maybe I acted a little hasty on changing the channel. I see I made the right decision...but now I see I missed all the drama...but I knew you guys would not let me down!!
Did anyone notice that Beyonce's shorts?(or whatever they are)were (in the immortal words of "House Party").."two inches above the thang!!"

LOL
