Why not AfAm's roots music?
Again, no real jazz categories for the awards. AfAms created jazz, and I'm not talking about that "smooth jazz" trash. If our own don't recognize it, who will?

Pre Show
I was going to just skip it and watch one of the gazillion reruns to watch American Idol but I just turned and saw the 106&Park/BET AWards Pre Show and I have got to watch.
FREE: Y'all know I don't like her so pardon me but that heffa has on the fuggliest mess I have seen in a while.
I just saw that Foxy Brown is nominated for Hip Hop Female yet when was the last time Fozy had a CD out? Not as bad as last year when they nominated 702 who had not recorded since the 90s but come on!!!
I already see I am going to have to create Hot Mess Distinctions for some of the mess I saw in the preshow.

Foxy Brown released an album last year and 702 released one in 2000.
The show might be good though.

SUNSHINE
Jill looks like a great big old SUN BURST.
We are 30 minutes into the show and have only presented 2 awards but 3 performances.
I love Yolanda's dress but not that choker-eque thang she is wearing.
OOOOOOOOOOH LAWD, CITA just started talking.

OOMG I am sitting here bored as heck. I could have went ahead and watched American Idol. They have performance overkill IMO.
Steve's new suit is a little UUUUUMM like WHOA.
EWF's guitarist has a BANGING ASS PERM. His hair looks better than mine. He has some pretty azz curls too.
Reasons was kind of messed up though. But I still have maaaaaaaad love for EWF. This is the best part of show so far.

Is it the volume or reception of my television because it sounds as though some of these performers not participate in warm-up?

Why did Mary J. Blige (and I like Mary) get up there and act like a nut. Did you guys notice that with all of her stomping and jumping around, she had to place her right tit back into her bra cup...MORE THAN TWICE!!! For the LIFE of me, I can't understand why she wears such nice outfits in her videos, but on the awards shows, she's like totally busted. I just don't get it.
Why is JaRule (and I really like him too) acting like he's as drunk as a skunk? "Cut the check"? What's up with THAT?
Why is Puffy looking like he just came off of the farm? I realize that his outfit may cost more than a month's pay for me, but with all of his money (and the SeanJohn collections) why is he dressing like that?
And tell me why did New Edition get up there trying to solicit their new album and tour, ESPECIALLY BEFORE announcing who the winner of that category was? They're totally BOOTY!!!
Gosh, I love Angie Stone (she's also from S.C.), but does she look like the type to be with D'Angelo? Well, it really doesn't matter, does it because she WAS with him and she has his son, right?
Yall I don't care what Jill Scott wears, how her hair is done, or what she sings, JILL IS MY GURRRL!!!!! But in all honesty, that outfit just does not do her ANY justice.
I tell ya. Most of the time I actually DRED watching the awards shows for Black people because something usually happens or someone usually acts like a fool. Luckily, ony ESSENCE has been able to avoid most of that for their award show.
I'll be back with more comments later.

My Final Comments. . . .
. . . for tonight
Only BET can have a 2 hour and 48 minute award show and only present 10 awards but have 14 performances.
LMAO @ Soror Korkscru's assessment of Mary.
Jill can blow, bottom line, but tonight looked like she had the role of the SUN in the 4th grade afrocentric play.
EWF's guitarist -- baaaaaaad little roller set.
Puffy did look like a hip hop Farmer on the Dell.

DAAAAYUUUUM!!!
Muhammad Ali just didn't give a rat's tail did he? Did he just tell Bob Johnson and everybody about that cheap award and that he wouldn't come back again?
I didn't see the beginning of Snoop's presence, but why were he and Don Juan up there looking like pimps, and they had the girls out there? Who set that up??? And I've never seen a mismatch awards pair like pimpish Snoop and refined Johnnie Cochran.
Somebody shoulda took those hooker boots from Free. That was not cute at all.
I loved when Jada heard Will's name, and you could read her lips as she said, "That's what I'm talkin' bout!" Represent yo man!
Being a College Park girl, Ludacris straight represented!!! Everytime I see him, he brings such a feeling of pride. I didn't like those dancin' booty girls, though. I could have sworn we were trying to change images. BUUUT, that was the krunkest performance, especially have Mystikal there.
The performance at the end was great.
Thank God I flipped b/t American Idol and the awards.
