Keyshia Cole getting her sang on, too bad she didn’t put any makeup on.
First Jaheim, now this!

Toni Braxton with her signature outfit on. I’m surprised her ass isn’t showing this time.

Wait a minute. **raises one eyebrow & rubs chin**
Not to sound Dumb-founded or anything such as that… but… I just noticed that Ced the Entertainer was there as well….
Is he now Singing or rapping, am I missing something??
I couldn’t imagine him standing there doing a stand up comedy show, what’s he doing? Rapping, singing?? Anyone? Can someone clear this up for me & give me some clarifications.

ced– he is doing his thing as usual

Yeah @Brooke, she can sing. The BET awards was the 1st time I’ve ever heard her sound rusty. But anyway, she need to put her leg down; she is trying too hard to make us believe she is really “feelin’ it”.
Toni Braxton look like she is drunk off that cheap shit.

Tony does look like she was opening for Celine Dion in Vegas. Poor thing. She doesnt know what to do with herself. Keisha Cole needs singing lessons. The foundation is there but shes too damn raw. Like my auntie when shes drunk or something. I just dont like it.

Keshia deserves a HAM award. She’s not cute. Not at all. She looks like an ugly ass Ms. Piggy. That nose is toooo much. And yes, she has a very fu**ed up attitude. I will not support her cause she thinks she’s the shit. As for Toni…I love her but that ugly ass wig has got to go.

Ghettoisha Cole is doing her thing, wonder did she cuss out the audience?
Toni B needs to take that get-up off and give it back to Beyonce. She is like 40 and looks ridiculous in it, I know her body is nice but she is tryin to freaking hard to be sexy. Please just sing and put some clothes on. I want old Toni”Love Shoulda Brought u Home” back.
I know Cedric was funny, and I hope Charlie last name Wilsson’s dentures stayed in.

@ Yaadig…
You are out of your fucking mind to even harbor the thought of Toni being a H.A.M.
Toni is one of the sexiest women in the industry, right now. She is undoubtedly top five sexiest songstresses in the world.
People of this post, Yaadig is saying Toni is in the same category as Remy Ma. Can you believe that?
Your name is kinda unisex, but from your comment, I can tell that you are woman. Why? Women only hate on other women who looks better than they do.

Are you retarded, special, slow or just plain stupid? Who cares how I spell her name? Everybody knew I was talking about the heffa with the bad wig. You had to be the one who spit her koolaid out about it. Get a grip on yourself and breath. Its o.k booboo. Put your helmet back on before you hurt your head.
One more thing. Toni (feel better?) could never bring the amount of money celine brings in every damn day in Vegas. I’m not a fan, but they built an exact replica of celines house to make her feel at home. Unheard of for any celebrity before her. Look outside your little world and admit the record sales of these two women cant even be compared. She would be lucky to open for Celine. Atleast she would know her check would clear.

At # 23, lol, that was funny, keyshia cole has no damn respect for the people or her fans, people like yourself and me are the ones who is supposed to help her get to the top and she cursing out the audience.
That horrid broad has lost her damn mind. She still can’t sing!!
I love Toni Braxton, Always will, even if shes lost her damn mind.

@23….Seems like she has adopted the rap artist mentality. They win awards for cussing and selling drugs but want 2 thank God and thier Mama at the awards shows. *shakes head*..Note to Keshia, a little class never hurt nobody….Oh, and a little foundation would not hurt either. Perhaps a little blush, nice color lip stick…u get the point…..

You guys are such haters. Its amazing how you find the worst pictures of Toni (when she’s dancing, singing or turning around) and put them on this site and wanna say she looks a hot mess or showing her ass. If someone takes off guard pictures of any of you you’re going to look a hot ass mess too. This lady looks da bomb and she was wonderful at Essence Fest. Some of you say she has lost her mind. How?? she doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary. You guys are just haters, you put the worst pictures of people on here and pick them apart. Then #3 stated that Keyshia Cole looks like her coochie is burning. That is such a dumb statement. She is sitting on a chair making facial expressions while she is singing you dumbass. But why am I even going there, you know this already, you just wanna hate. Man, I’ve never seen so many haters in my life. Yall some stupid hoes!!!!

No bella_honey, Keyshia did not curse people out. I was at the Essence Festival and I can assure you she didnt do that (unless she did it backstage or something). She was the first performer and the stadium was filled yet so she didnt get huge screams from the crowd and she said “man, yall are tough!”, but that was it.

Keyshia has for a fact cursed out her audiance before maybe not at this show, but she has. I don’t necessarily think Keyshia is ugly, but she is usually hella rude in interveiws.

Yes, I agree that Keisha is tremendously GHETTO. That’s a fact. But the only point I tried to make is that people on here blow things out of proportion and make it bigger than what it is. yes, she is ghetto but there is nothing wrong with how she looks in these pictures, there is nothing wrong with Toni in these pictures (she could never look bad enough to be a H.A.M.), and everyone else looks fine as well. This site is a big hateration site for people who have nothing else to do but talk about others. Some of these haters on here need to give it up because judging by many of your pictures you are a hot ass mess just like some of the celebs you speak of. Stop hating, everyone looked decent at Essence (except for Jaheim maybe, now he was a big stupid hot ass mess)!!!!!

keyshia is a rat no doubt - we brought her to my school to perform (before she was big) and she had the funkiest attitude, a little girl tried to touch her hand during the performance and she told her to back up…because raw worked for mary dont mean it will work twice

I guess what bothers me is those two pics are horrible shots but Toni looked beautiful at the show and sounded wonderful. Also, why is it ok for Mariah, Janet Jackson who are both around the same age - Janet being older at (40-41) and Mariah at 36 to wear more sexier clothing but Toni is always called out and it always seem to be done by her people and we wonder why Celine Dion, Mariah, Madonna and Cher has such a huge fan base. The on-going saying in the industry is African-Americans fail to support their artist in the long run.
BTW, before you come for me…I’m black.

I hope Keshia didn’t run out of air on “Love”. Toni’s hair and outfit are a mess, but vocally she hasn’t been on point lately. She probably sweated away 5 pounds in those hot ass, wrong color stockings!!! I loved her back in the day, she looks drunk in that first pic.
I love Cedric, but I’m not sure about Charlie. Not feeling his comeback attempt, I’d like to remember him from his Gap Band days. Old men with cornrows aren’t fly to me.

I really like Keyshia Coles songs, but she is a studio singer. She cannot sing live at all. And the BET Awards was not the first time I saw that. She was on another awards show where she ran out of breath. She needs some vocal training and exercises to help her with her performances. She has more of a rappers edge than a singer. And she looks fine without makeup to me. It’s actually refreshing to see a star without all the cake.
I don’t care what anyone says, I love Toni. If u got it flaunt it, and Toni has got it. Whether she is 40 or not with 2 or 12 kids, the girl looks good! And since when did 40 become 60?

Friday, July 7, 2006 /
OK Just my honest opinion:
Toni does not need to be up for the H.A.M. award but the wig needs to be retired and hung next to Jordan’s jersey.
Keyshia is still my girl no matter how bad she gets dogged on this site. I guess the reason I am so impressed with her is b/c over the past couple of years there has not been a song with substance since umm…. Alicia maybe? I even liked the comment she made about not being a gimmick or a packaged item to be sold-just 100% real. Hey if this is how she looks on a day2day basis then bring it on. How many celebs do you think wake up lookin like they do in photo shots-not many. If she’s cursing out fans that’s not a good look but I have never had the opportunity to be at a concert so I cant say (wish I was). She can however sing, and is quick to belt out a verse for the ones that think she is studio. I dunno maybe being 29, I just need some REAL music cause although I like “Do it Do it” and “Check up on it” and “So what” sometimes when I’m ridin or just chillin at home with an Apple Martini I need some real stuff like “You changed” or “I changed my mind” but hey this is coming from a chick that digs the old Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, old Tweet type music-I’ll leave that other mess to my lil cousin in the 9th grade. I like grown folks music and believe it or not Keyshia is the new MJB if she continues to bring the heat.

AS USUAL YOU NO LIVES ARE HATING ON TONI! WHEN MARIAH AND JANET AND J-LO ARE ALL IN THE SAME AGE BRACKET AND THEY REALLY ARE ACTING YOUNG, TONI’S THE MOST MATURE, MARRIED, KIDS AND BEING SEXY AINT NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT ASK TINA. TONI DID HER THANG AND SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND MOST WOMEN COME AND HATE ON HER CUZ THEY WISH THE LOOKED AS BEAUTIFUL AS HER THEY JUST MAD CUZ THEY CANT SHOW THEIR FAT UGLY BELLIES IN PUBLIC!

ONCE AGAIN I COME TO BAT FOR MY GIRL TONI, SHE DOESNT LOOK A MESS, AND FOR THE PERSON WHO SAID HER VOICE HASNT BEEN ON POINT LATELY, YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOUR TALKING ABOUT, HER VOICE IS STILL AMAZING. THOSE DRESSES ARE FROM HER CONCERT IF YOU PEOPLE KNEW ANYTHING YOU WOULD KNOW THAT ALOT OF FEMALE SINGERS WHO HAVE ALOT OF WARDROBE CHANGES AND A SHOW WHERE THEY MOVE AROUND ALOT DESIGN THEIR COSTUMES SO IT WILL BE EASY TO CHANGE, MOVE AROUND IN AND COOL.
TONI IS 37 NOT 40 AND EVEN IF SHE WAS 40, SHE GROWN AND SHE CAN WEAR WHAT THE HELL SHE WANTS! YOU GOT THESE LIL ASS GIRLS WEARIN LESS THAN THAT AND IT IS OK. BUT TONI WEAR IT AND ITS OH MY DAMN. HALF OF YALL MAMMIES OLDER THAN HER AND WEAR LESS…………

unknwon@unknown.com
Friday, July 7, 2006 /
OKAY ITS OFFICAL NOTE TO ALL THE FAT CHICKS AND UGLY CHICKS WHO HATE ON TONI: PUT MAKE UP ON, PUT DOWN THAT HAMBURGER AND DO SOME EXCERCISE, FIX UP YOURSELVES AND YOU CAN LOOK AS GOOD AS SHE DOES:
1) Toni Braxton’s libra tour has been nationally acclaimed and has sole out in almost every venue
If you want all that just work hard you can get there too, no need to be hating on people, just really does not make any sense!
2) crtiics are saying vocally she is just on track
3) On libra tracks like I wanna be and other unrelased tracks like Happily Unhappy and Time of our Lives have Toni reaching notes that she has never reached
4) There were better picture choices but the owner who does not like Toni obviousy decided to capture the worst pics because I’ve seen some great pics
5) These are just stage costumes, no different from the costumes like Beyonce, its called entertaining
6) Toni has more of her sanity than Whitney, Janet, Mariah and that non-singing Mary J Blige, so lets no go there with who’s lost their minds because I can take it there
7) Toni actually can still sang unlike other’s and thats why she is heading to Vegas and has the opportunity to be offered things that challenge her vocally because people who recognize real talent see her as a great product. Offering her over 10 million for 7 months, she just purchased a fab home in vegas, so lets be real here, Toni is on top of her game, so lets not try to put down beautiful African American women, especially those who have sucessful marriages, careers, family’s etc.

hopefully the show keyshia has on BET will allow me to to see her in a new light..cuz right now I’m not seeing much to guarantee much interest..as for Toni..I was a Toni fan for years, her wearing skimpy outfits is nothing new, if her man doesn’t have an issue w/it then neither should we. However Toni can look just as good in mature attire. When she wears clothes like this she does look like shes trying too hard regardless if that was the intention or not…It takes away from her talent
