Black Star Power…I love it!

Baltimore/Washington in the house!!! This event has been all the buzz around this area…Cathy Hughes and Radio One should be commended for all of their efforts to make Black radio a force to be reckoned with…Great to see all of the support of all the artists..Everybody looked great…But, when all the hype is over Yonce and not the QUEEN OF SOUL, I have a problem! Very few artists have Aretha’s talent and longevity and in my opinion Yonce is aiight but she’ll never be Aretha! Five years from now, Yonce’ll be lucky if her comeback album makes it into the Top 100.

Man this is an awesome event and its rare all these black people be together like this in D.C! Like I said I can’t believe it.

Doesn’t Janet always look like she’s sucking in her breath? Ever since she’s lost weight she just doesn’t look like she used to…something is a lil off.

It’s time for Ananda to get a makeover. Ananada it’s OKAY to CUT your hair.

I’m not feelin’ Beyonce’s dress or Jay’s chauffer suit.

Ms. Aretha looked good for the night too. Her hair is looking decent finally.

Natalie Cole is lookin’ good, although she should’ve lost the jeans…it’s a “gala” damn.
Russell looks like a fuckin’ bum as usual.

why does aretha wear those dress.s that make her breast look huge.. or are they really that big? every body looking all good in there sunday best and natalie cole steps in ther with jeans on.. i guess she didnt get the dress code memo

Looks good. Aretha looks like she is tearing the house down. That’s a legend right there.

TV One is actually a good channel too, waaay better than wack ass BET. Plus they show a variety of shows. Props to Cathy Hughes!

Everyone looked good, noone trying to do too much. Nice classy event.

Beyonce’s weave needs to go asap!

Natalie beautiful as always!!!!!!!!she missed the dress code but still…gorgeous as always…..
Janet..trying too hard i guess…

Janet looks STUNNING!!! Still want her to gain 5 or 6 more pounds to add to her face though!

Ms. B looks…..questionable. I been liking how she’s been looking in all the candids and interviews that she’s been doing lately but…this is horrible. The weave? The cheap forever21 looking dress? The bad shoe? I just cant get into this look.

Ciara looks good, but she needs to stop with the wave thing…she does it in EVERY PIC!!!

Aretha looks good…Im happy!

Kirk Franklin is sooooooooooo fine to me!!!

Letoya looks cute…as always!!!

Feeling the B.S.P.(black star power)!!!

Happy to see Dallas Austin smiling. I know his ass has a lot to be thankful for.

Hot Damn. Chuck Brownis in the Mickeyfickey house. BTW, that’s Sam Muthafuc*ing Jackson’s illegitimate dad right there ya’ll.

Beyonce looks a fuc*ing mess.

Natalie, what else is there to say? You obviously didn’t get the memo.

That’s it. I’m getting a machete and I’m cutting Ciara’s fuc*ing hands off right now so she can’t do that dumb ass pose no more!! I’ve Had IT!

Too bad you can’t see stuff like that on tv as much as we see (well u guys get the picture). Maybe Bet will air it.

HMMM DALLAS SHOULD CONSIDER HIMSELF LUCKY THAT HE WAS EVEN ABLE TO ATTEND…DUMB ASS

EVERYONE LOOK STUNNING CIARA IS STILL ON POINT SHE LOOKS ANGELIC, RUSSELL IS THAT U?? HE LOOKS DATE-ABLE LMAOOO

Ah Lacy, TV One has their own station. It’s called TV1 so they’ll air it themselves. Just FYI since you obviously don’t get TV1 in your area.

^ I meant Radio One has their own TV station

I think Natalie Cole is beautiful and is in great shape , but again, why the jeans….I don’t think LeToya is cute at all…Beyonce definitely missed the mark with this look…

Hmm… i’ve been reading most of these comments, and isn’t it a suprise how Beyonce got more understatments then most of the others.. Hm…

okay i’m all for the jokes but what’s really going on with beyonce.

Aretha is showing why she is the QUEEN!!

Benasty I mean Beyonce is being “Benasty the Tramp…….the Baby Gap Dress Edition” She sucks!!!

Janet looks a little mucscluar, but still pretty.

Jay-Z looks like he’s glad to be in a picture without benasty. I feel so bad for him.

Natalie Cole looks beautiful. Good black don’t crack.

Everbody looks wonderful. BSP in effect!!

How is Beyonce a surprise guest? She’s at damn near everything. You know if Jay Z was there she was someone where around. I mean forreal.

Actually, I like Angel La’s new avatar. That hair style is more becoming.

Janet looks great! This is the first time that I’ve said that from looking at a candid of her.

Beyonce should have done something else with her weave. But other than that she looks the same.

Letoya used to be cute back in her DC days. What happened? What kind of work did she have done?

Russell stepped out looking damn good.Yay Russey!

Diddy looking good as usual.

I THINK THAT BEYONCE LOOKS NICE .NICE THE BEST I HAVE SEEN HER .BUT SHE WAS PERFORMING SHE CANT LOOK PICTURE PERFECT.WHY DOES’NT JANET LOOK AS YOUNG AND SLIM LIKE SHE LOOKS IN THE MAGAZINES(AH HA FROM THE MOVIE COMING TO AMERICA)IM SORRY JANET CANT DRESS.

Damn ‘Yonce is killing it in that dress. Those legs…wow.

Yawn @ Janet

I wonder if Ciara has on sneakers with that dress.

Big ups to Cathy Hughes and Radio One! I love see all these good looking black folks supporting one another.

I love it! Once again Beyonce is the central focus on concrete loop! I noticed too that ONLY Bee gets the negative comments, but it’s all good. She’s always the giving them something to talk about. I think she looks fab!

janet jackson looks like a pretty old man.aretha franklin looks like shamoo the white whale.beyonce’s hair is tore.and letoya looks under dressed.but i am happy that eveyone could cometogether without any egos.

Ciara…please put your fuckin’ hands down…GEESH!! And ya’ll say Beyonce’s poses are always the same.

aretha franklin looks like she used alot of sheets and curtain to make that HUGE thing that she calls a dress.beyonce looks like a superstar and janet does look a lil old.ciara looks natural and pretty.how you doooooinnn kirk franklin? natalie looks fab!

- where the hell did they find ananda?
- ciara looks cute.
- natilie cole loks great, she’s always been a beautiful woman
- I know dallas austin’s happy to be free
- Beyonce’s weave looks like it just left the spin cycle & the rest of her skirt was obviously not invited on stage w/ her. but i’m sure the performance was great.
- Arethat…why even comment. i”m sure her peferomace was off the hook too!

To all the contributers…I REALLY DON’T LIKE THE NEW AVATARS….Angela looks like Bobby Christin’a big sister, Brian’s facial expression is irritating(luv the locs though), and Tianna looks like Big Lez…STOP CHANGING THEM…they keep getting worse…AND HOPEFULLY YOU WON’T ERASE THIS COMMENT AGAIN…It’s funny how people can dish it and not take it…I thought this was an open forum….

Oh yeah and Ciara, along with putting your hands down, close your damn mouth. We don’t want to smell what you were eating in VIP.

But she looks nice though.

LOVE BEYONCE. HATE HER HAIR AND DRESS HERE. SHE LOOKS A MESS TO ME. CIARA LOOKS CUTE.

Every1 looks nice-I’m trying hard to say positive things so bear with me!!
Jay does look overly excited…..no Rhi Rhi, I guess she hasnt made it to that level yet.
Wonder how the vibe was with Toy Toy and Bay Bay at the same venue? Watched the Black Carpet last night on BET and they asked Toy what she thought about the underhanded rumors surrounding B and she answered pretty good that she hoped that was not her intentions.
That is all….

Natalie Cole likes fab!!!!

Beyonce assembled her all-girl band!

Russell + blue pill = skeet, skeet!

Aretha was the first Diva…Queen of Soul!

WTH, Aretha wears a gown and Natalie wears blue jeans???

Janet’s sporting a huge azz stone on her wed finger! She looks right at home standing between Chuck and James!

Yall are crazy…

Janet looks crazy (she has that can’t stop smiling from all this botox look).

And anyone who says that is a good picture of LeToya is seriously kidding themselves. She looks like the lion from the Wizard of Oz with his hair pulled back.

#25…You need to go back and re-read the comments honey…Beyonce is not the only one to receive negative comments…What the hell are you talking about ??

I’m just happy to see my man the “Godfather of Go-Go” Chuck Brown was in the place to be. “Daylight comes we don’t want to go home”.

Don’t be fooled by the stone on Janet’s finger…it’s all a ploy to buzz attention about marriage rumors knowing damn well she ain’t gonna marry dat waterbug..LOL! She tryna sell he wack album.

Letoya musta felt upstaged.

Aretha…lose some weight! You are dangerously obese! What is your problem!!! Do you know what health risks you’re causing yourself! A cryin’ shame with all that money you have.

Can we see some new faces in black celebrity, please. I’m sick of these jokestas…’cept natalie “LAAAAA COOOOSSSTTTAAAAAAAA”

LOVE THEM BOTH BUT BEYONCE AND LETOYA LOOK TOW UP. I’LL GIVE THEM A PASS CUS TOYA’S BEEN NONSTOP TOURING WITH MJB AND BEYONCE FLEW RIGHT FROM ENGLAND TO THIS SHOW.

CIARA HAS TRULY STEPPED HER GAME UP. HOMEGIRL LOOKS FLAWLESS.

@ 25. NAH HOMIE, THE NEGATIVE BEYONCE COMMENTS ARE JUST THE ONLY ONES YOU CHOOSE TO FOCUS IN ON. TRY AGAIN.

A little while ago Rudy from the Doug Banks show said LeToya looks like Jerry from Tom and Jerry and she sure does! LMAO
She still a cute girl though.

Aretha is big as hell. That dress makes her look like the snowy top of a huge mountain.

everybody looks fantabulous ….old, young divas and divos….well Ciara really need to get a new pose…
I apologize to B fans….but I thought that was Mariah before I opened the pic….didn’t read the name….I’m SOOOO sorrrryyyyy
black is beautiful

Everybody looks nice

I think someone earlier said Ananda is needs to cut her hair. I actually met her before(she is so so nice too) and her hair is absolutely beautiful I don’t think she should cut it people pay to get hair to look like that. My hair is around the same grade not as long but every time I want to cut it my mom reminds me that “girl you should lucky to have “good hair” what the hell does that mean. Its hard as hell for me to find products to put in my hair white products dryout my hair and black products make my hair to greasy. I know this is probably off subject any suggestions? It seems we’re always talking about how bad or good celebs hair is so maybe I’m not off subject.It looks like some people are slamming Beyonce’s doo…..

Questions:

1. Why am I at the bottom of the list on the “users logged in” list? I’m too important to be at the bottom.

2. There’s bots here? I think Brian is a bot, because all his comments look like they’re generated by AI.

LOL

beyonce looks like mariah carey in the red dress before you click to enlarge the picture.

I WONDER IF LETOYA AND BEYONCE RAN INTO EACH OTHER AT THIS EVENT???????

#46 Alicia

I made the comment about her cutting her hair, she needs it. She’s been sporting that part in the middle greasy look since the first day of forever.

I remember on her talk show she said something about her grandmother telling her not to cut her hair because that’s what makes her…that old nigga shit.

Even Chili changed up…took a while but she did.

She could stand to cut off a couple of inches…maybe get a roller set…..get a couple of loose curls. Something that’ll make her stop looking like a greasy witch.

Hurray for RadioOne. Cathy Hughes is a great inspiration for young, black entrepreneurs. Glad she had talented artists perform, like Aretha and Beyonce. She must know good music!

We all have a right to our opinion. But what we’re saying and doing when it come to stars, has already been told to us in the bible, We will build our Idols up and also tear them dowm. We’ve been doing it for years to stars. Beyonce, Letoya , Janet and Ciara are all people, there not God they will error. Like none of yall never wore something that was not right. That’s what’s wrong with our world now. We’re so HARD on each other.

lol at someone saying ri ri hasn’t made it to that level. i gues latoya and ruben have……..

i think she’s the first black artist i can remember who went straight pop and top 40 before transitioning to urban….

anyway, i’m not buying any albums until november this year.

NYC said: I remember on her talk show she said something about her grandmother telling her not to cut her hair because that’s what makes her…that old nigga shit.

It’s sad, but I’m sorry, it’s true. I’ve always said there is nothing pretty about her at all, but niggas love her (or used to) because of that “Good Hair” Chilli on the other hand has a pretty face though.

And Beyonce, I love you, but please, you are another one, PLEASE do something different with your hair for once! And that damn updo you been rockin’ lately does NOT count!!!!

I understand NYC it looks greasy but its not I actually felt her hair I made a joke that we could be sisters and I felt her hair she was cool about it ..

LOL @ Caff

caff, you’re probably only at the bottom on your computer. I’m the last name on mine too.

Areatha..wow! Janet and Kay Z are lookin nice. And wherever Jigga is ya’ll know Bee ain’t far…love the red dress she is peforming in. Ananda..where you been? Ol Chuck Brown in the house! Reppin’ DC to the fullest. I can’t believe all these celebrities were so close to me either. I live in Maryland like 25 minutes from DC!!!

I had to increase the picture to see if that was really Chuck! I was tripped out to see Chuck taking a pic with the Janet. That made my day.

I like that up-do Beyonce has been rocking. Yea, it may look like a pile of dirty clothes, but it’s still interesting to look at.

#60..I was surprised to see him with her, too. Chuck is a legend around these parts. I wonder if Janet knows who he is!

#55..I agree I’m tired of that “good hair” shit. I struggle just like everyone else to get a good look but always end up with the same curly hair style. When I do try to change up and go into a salon the sytlist tell me if I were you I would just leave it that way cause you got “good hair”, “u got indian in ur family?”(LOL!!!!) or they just tell me I don’t know how to do your type of hair(I’ve got this many times).

why are u guys downing beyonce as if she looks the worst out of all them celebs at that event…if u ask me, she looks better than all of them and ciara comes in 2nd..she probably just took a bad pic…stop trippin…she has more pretty pictures than ugly ones..and i’m so glad ciara died her hair black!! wtf is up with all these black women dying their hair blonde? u are not white! natural hair colors like black and brown look so much better on black people cause it compliments skin tone

Oh ok. I thought there was a conspiracy going on Lala. I still think dude is a bot though. Angel say she hired Brian and Tianna, but I think she just posted pictures of two random people and turned on the bot function.

Both of them are gonna have to prove me wrong by holding an actual conversation with someone, about a random topic.

LOL at caff and that comment on aretha’s dress

Beyonce was performing I bet when she was off stage she looks different but the dress she’s wearing was a longer if you see all the other pictures this is just one pic it was a long dress and the bottom was made to come off she took it off during her performance

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks Letoya’s face looks like she’s had a bad face lift. I’ve heard of dimples but that thing on the right side of her face is one scary looking crease! That’s one bad face job.

Why is everyone talking about wherever Jigga is Beyone be following? She’s the one that performed, what the hell was his reason to be there? Yeah to see her ass perform. Speaking of Beyonce I’ll give her ass a pass because the picture was taken of her performing some high energy songs and she just came back from London.

Natalie Cole is the best looking one there! Fuck all the other bitches. And her new song is hot. If you haven’t heard it then you’re spending too much time listening to bullshit music like Danity Kane or Yung Joc.

Aretha was the Queen but now she’s just a mess. I saw her perform a few years ago and her voice is gone. At least she was the greatest at one point.

1) Janet doesn’t look that weird
2) Why is Beyonce’s dress so short?
3) Why is Beyonce Wearing contacts now?
4) What’s up with Beyonce’s two tone raggedy hair look?

Everybody looks nice! Dang, why are black people so hard on other black people! Sorry, but I’ve never heard a white person sit down with their star magazine and rag on everybody in the magazine! Just doesn’t happen. I’m black, and I love my people, but dang, we got issues! People can’t represent all the time with their attire and appearance. Leave those people along, they are stars, they can’t and won’t look picture perfect everytime, even though that’s primarily why and how they get paid! Why? It’s a little thing called being HUMAN!

#70 Tina are you with White people all the time?

Are you there when they are reading White gossip blogs?

People like to talk shit about people…it’s entertaining. Are we supposed to just talk about how great these people are all the time?

Yes Beyonce’s a good performer, and has a nice voice…but she looked WACK.

Geezus.

Yall funny I swear! I agree I love Beyonce to death but that dress does look like it came from forever 21 and her hair is tragic. That’s my girl though and she’s beautiful but that was not a good look for her.I’m sure Jay had something to do with that. He’s a brooklyn dude and I know how they get down beause I’m from brooklyn. They don’t want the chick shining too much. Ciara is flawless beautiful girl. I like the barely there make-up these women are wearing now. It shows more of their natural beauty even though that look is harder to develop then make-up you can actually see. Natalie cool is beautiful but the jeans were a no-no. I don’t have a clue what’s happening with Janet at all. Lol! Latoya looks like Tom from Tom&Jerry! That shit is hilarious! Because she really does and I like her and think she’s pretty but that shit is funny as hell! Can’t stop laughing. Either way this is great to see. I love seeing my people doing their thing. Oh yeah I agree black women were not born with blonde hair so leave it alone. Please! I would have paid any amount of money to hear Aretha sing! What a true legend with a voice that can never be copied.

I agree with all who thought or think that the credit mentions should have gone to Aretha AND not Beyonce. I love Aretha, i have some of her oldies albums and the newer ones. That is certainly a legend, i just love her. I also am a huge beyonce fan BUT the whole “Beyonce wowed the crowd” ?? i am sure she did BUT it should have been more like “Aretha wowed the crowd and brought down the house. Anyway, Everyone looks great, its nice to see Black like this.

@ TINA, girl you trippin if you don’t think white people rag on each other. THEY INVENTED THAT SHIT. HELLO.

Maybe, just maybe, BEYONCE is the one that WOWED the crowd, and not Alicia. I have seen both of them perform live in the last 5 years and I can honestly say that Aretha has lost the power in her voice. Of course it’s because she’s old now and Beyonce is still young and still has her voice. I’m just saying that I’m not surprised to hear the reviewer say that Beyonce, not Aretha got the crowd hyped. That doesn’t take away from Aretha’s legacy, it’s just a matter of FACT!

Sorry I meant to say not ARETHA.

What would make LeToya and Beyonce performances so special for them too perform with the greats?

@WTF happened? I wasn’t even finished writing.

ANYWAY TINA, Ever heard of National Enquirer, Star, US Weekly. They dog the shit out of white people DAILY. Who had plastic surgery, who looked like shit going to the gracery store, who looks like shit when their pregnant. Where you been Tina? Mars?

Here it comes! I’m going to get my coffee for this one. This should be some funny shit.

All the hottest stars were up in the same jig, it’s about to be some big bashing in this one.

*ding* And Beyonce Fans start off with a few jabs. Latoya Fans seem to be trying to get a feel for the opponent, merely deflecting the jabs at this time.

@NYC If Ananda cut her hair she would get no play. Shes average at best and her hair is her greatest asset. Her grandmather was right. Shes knows whats best for her and I’m sure her man (if hes black) would kill her if she cut it.

Off topic but I’m sitting here watching an Al B Sure video and hes in a stonewashed outfit. LMAO!!! I was sooo in love with him when I was a teenager. WTF?

Is it really necessary to trash black celebrities who came out in support of a black woman who rose from a single mother to a multimillionaire? Give folks credit for that if nothing else…we’re always saying we don’t support each other, then when we do people have to talk shit about how they look!!

^^^sorry for the typos. This damn Al B sure video has me cracking up.

MYSHELL:

Girl don’t trip I had a thang for ABS back in the day too.

How was this event right up the street from you Angel.La when you live in North Carolina? You interning down in DC or something….

How can Beyonce wow a crowd? She does the same thing over and over screaming in the mic, gyrating with her dancers and doing those crazy epilectic dances. And then to top it off all those people done seen her perform a million times, how can they be wowed or surprised to see her. Yall stans be trippin me out. Face it ya girl Bey’s time is up.

Natalie Cole looks damn good and somebody please tell me the name of her new song. I’m still listening to “I live for your love”

Natalie Cole looks great! Do you know how old that woman is? She looks good. That’s more than I can say for Ms. Aretha. She let herself go.

For some odd reason…everyone looks a mess!!!

Everybody looks GREAT!

Uh Oh. I smell another dirty rat in the making. Miss Tina, Please tell me this. How you gonna say:

“Everybody looks nice! Dang, why are black people so hard on other black people! Sorry, but I’ve never heard a white person sit down with their star magazine and rag on everybody in the magazine! Just doesn’t happen. I’m black, and I love my people, but dang, we got issues! People can’t represent all the time with their attire and appearance. Leave those people along, they are stars, they can’t and won’t look picture perfect everytime, even though that’s primarily why and how they get paid! Why? It’s a little thing called being HUMAN!” on this post and then turn around and say…

“Sorry, Rhianna is not a cute girl, AT ALL! She’s plain, bordering ugly! I was surprised to see her look like this because make-up does wonders for her. She looks totally different now than when she does when she’s made up! I was surprised to know that that was her….I hate to say this, but she almost looks like a ape from the side. And her body is not proportional at all…she needs to work her thighs out a bit, maybe shape them up, not necessarily lose weight. But DANG, I can’t get over how different she looks on these pictures as opposed to any of the other made-up shots. Beyonce out shines this girl any day!” on another post???

I dunno. I smell fish here people….

everyone looks good. dead @ aretha performs in a big white dress.

but seriously, everyone looks good!

Y’all don’t know any black natural blondes? Really, I do, & my daughter’s hair grows blonde, then turns sandy brown. Ever heard of Aborigines? Native Australian tribes, they have blonde hair too.

Aretha looks so much like the Marshmellow Man from Ghostbusters. She probably ate him on the way there.

and why is beyonce wearing stockings ala ri ri

curious said:
How was this event right up the street from you Angel.La when you live in North Carolina? You interning down in DC or something….

Because Angel didn’t post this. TIANNA did. Pay attention.

Ciara is killing me with that two-hand wave and same smile. Someone, find this girl a new pose.

#90 Dbadness aka MacGuyver. You do realize Tina is a very common name..right? My last post was my frist post. So save your detective skills for a real case. I stated my opinion and meant…move on.

P.S.- Ooooohhhh I think I saw more than one poster named “Kim” off to handle the case. *rollseyes*

THE STANS GONNA TURN THIS POST OUT. IT’S STARTIN ALREADY. STANS, BE GONE!

LMFAO @ LETOYA LOOKING LIKE JERRY FROM TOM AND JERRY. I LOVE TOYA BUT SHE SHONUFF DO. I WAS TRYNA PUT MY FINGER ON WHO SHE LOOK LIKE AND THEY GOT IT DEAD RIGHT.

JAY-Z A UGLY ASS NIGGA BUT DAMN IF HE CAN’T ROCK A SUIT LIKE HE SEXY.

Lol Caff you are so crazy.

#85: Go to one of that bitch’s concerts and you’ll understand that she’s a bad bitch for real. What you see on television is nothing compared to seeing it in person. I used to be skeptical at first esp. after I saw Destiny’s Child looking a mess at Summer Jam a few years back but when I saw her at Jiggas’s MSG show live I changed my mind. I’ve been going to see her concerts ever since and she NEVER disappoints!

#86: Natalie’s new song is called DAY DREAMING and it’s FIYA!

#39 — I gotta agree with u about Ritha’ why is she so damn big that just aint healthy at her age she needs to do somethin about that — too damn old to be that big!!!

However evryone else looks great

Beyonce looks amazing as usual!

#44 Dont trip I thought Bee was Mariah too! But then I realized Oh yeah Mariah only wears spandex!LOL

janets way to build, she loook like a man

#99 Natalie Cole’s song is a REMAKE of Aertha’s Franklin’s Classic “Daydreaming.” Natalie’s song is bad, because Areta made it bad!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqg6ujcHQis

Young folk learn your music history! Amen!

@ALicia
I got the same kinda hair..I keep it in braids during the summer. Every two weeks i take them out and put a hot oil treatment (after I wash it) and a cholestorol treatment for 1/2 hr under the dryer. Then when it gets cooler outside i “press” my hair and it looks like i have a perm (as long as no GODDAMN rain comes on my ass!! lol) I am part Panama Kuna indian in my family..what are u?

damn, u people r jus a bunch of damn haters. i love it… im enjoyed reading ur funny commets…lol…

—taking off earrings,putting vaseline on face,and putting on tennis shoes—-waiting on another comment about Beyonce——-waiting ,waiting…..getting call from aretha..ring
aretha:WHAT THEY WRITING ABOUT ME?
ME: now you know they not going to make a sound about u re re,,,you look like u ready to fight anywhere,anytime aretha:R E S P E C T THE QUEEN

They all look fabulous, props to Cathy Hughes. I just don’t understand all the black in people’s outfit. I would have like to see more color in people’s outfits….this looks too formal to me. It’s a celebration not a funeral. I know black is traditional, but Cathy Hughes represents a revolution in black radio, there is nothing traditional about what this lady and her son are doing. Some color in the tuxes and dresses would have livened up the dull feeling I get from these pictures. And why ya’l love to hate on Bey. I think her dress is fun. Hate Hate Hate…..Some of ya’l saying bad things about Bey just to get a response and see yourself on CL. I guess….whatever makes you feel good…but I’m sure Bey’s performance was fierce.

dats all yall hav to talk about..is hair…yall suck…plzzzz get a life and stop hatin

dayum, one of aretha’s breasts could feed five babies for a month!

are there n e “cans” in here meaning cassie fans

thanks #99 & #103.

good Radio One, big up everything Black People!!

Haha. Good one. Good save though.

what a minute, i think i know daydreaming-”thinking of you, “lets get away”
I think T.I. sampled it.

The event looks like a black-tie affair, why is Natalie rocking jeans. Guess she did not get the memo.

Beyonce is a well rounded chick. She comes with the total package. She is pretty, thick, nice ass, everything in just perfect.

Natalie Cole looks real good. If I looked like that I would be rocking a pair of jeans too.

Everyone else is pretty much overrated.

#103

Girl I know it’s an Aretha song! Did I say it wasn’t or something? I just said that it was NATALIE’S new song that’s out on the radio. I’m 25 years old so I ain’t a youngin! Aretha’s version is the best of course but I love Natalie’s version as well! Natalie’s is obviously more upbeat.

Hey Caff, Bots are the things search engines send to the sites to collect information on them. Brian and Tianna aren’t bots, that was just dumb.

Another thing, the user names are listed by what time they were last active, so you are at the bottom because you probably just clicked to a new page or something.

@85, I didn’t write this post, Tianna did. That’s why you need to learn how to read.

And as for me looking like Bobbi Christina’s older sister! You know you wrong, but who cares. Thanx for the hits!

Janet- its just something about her.. but shes just too skinny for me lol

DIddy- will be diddy..

Jay Z- Will be at every cause or gala cause thats just jay z now..

Beyonce- ’s Weave .. *sigh* can you say new hairstylist.. or she just needs to retire the weave

Ciara looks nice.. for once lol

Ananda Lewis- where she been?!? I love her

Kirk Franklin- Thank God he was in the buildin!

Letoya- forget beyonce its all about letoya

Natalie cole- Looks better than ever!!!!

Everyone looks healthy.

Ciarra used to be a Cheerleader so EVERYONE, get used to the wave and the different mugs she puts on as if she’s at a game, BUT still love Ciarra.

Beyonce, my girl, love her, i think she is going abit overboard with the “I am grown and sexy look” but if your a fan you just have to love her for her music, all that other stuff, ehh. Her hair if you look at the close-up second pic, it looks like some of it may be her’s the wave at the root of the hair, anyway, i donno…who cares, better her head than mine being the center of every darn post.

Everyone else looked great and happy.

I know they had a better picture than that for Latoya1

Janet look good. Who is that creepy dude with his hands around Janet.Scurry!

FYI: Janet and Stevie Wonder are cousins!!!WOW!

Natalie Cole is looking nice and casual

WhyTF does Ciara always gotta throw her hands in the air in her pics? I think that’s a habit that she needs to break!

Ananda Lewis doesn’t even look like she aged at all! Remember when people use to think Ananda, Chilie, and Tatyana Ali were all sisters! LOL

Yeah everyone looks nice. I do wish that Bey would go back to the brown hair, because when DC performed at the BET awards, she looked really nice and natural with the brown hair, it just brought out her facial feautures. Ciara looks cute too. Is it me, or since she left Bow Wow she has stepped up her look? Im glad Kirk Franklin was there, if you guys dont have his new cd, you need to get it because it is definitely “what that is.” Its something about Janet that is just off, I cant put my finger on it. Maybe its the way the dress is in the front, but overall she looks nice. I love Arethat Franklin, but why does she have that dress on like she is going to prom? lol

ARETHA IS THE TRUE DIVA.

Everyone looks nice. All I want to know is how Beyonce still has hair on head? She has all those extensions in her hair all the time and with that color/dye. That has to be damaging.

Natalie Cole is aging beautifully.

anyone who says people are hating on Beyonce NEED TO CHILL THE FUCK OUT!! DAMN! were not saying she is not pretty she just looks BAD. And everyone has their bad days………WE ALL KNO THAT. I just can’t stand it when people are quick to point fingers.
anyways, this was a high class event FOSHO!
I think Ciara puts her hands up to catch the waves from her fans…… i think.

Hey Caff, Bots are the things search engines send to the sites to collect information on them. Brian and Tianna aren’t bots, that was just dumb.

Another thing, the user names are listed by what time they were last active, so you are at the bottom because you probably just clicked to a new page or something.

Oh….lol

But um, in chat rooms and on some blogs, bots are automated responses programed by the owner to act as human users.

…and it wasn’t dumb. He just has bot tendencies is all. >=\

LOL…KIRK FRANKLIN is the biggest freak in the house. With his sex addicted self, I ain’t mad though…Im right along with him…lol.

y’all need to give me a break, beyonce was performing,and as usual, she giving a damn good preformance, so that why she got the wild hair, besides i saw more better pics of bee b4 she performnaced( http://beyonceworld.net/main.htm ) , at least she got a reason looking like that. hmmmmmmm……wonder why letoya, janet and ciara, especially janet, she needs to promoting that horrible song of hers or debuting her second single. nevertheless bee is wwearing the hell out of that red dress, i bet u, she’s gonna change of that( like any true diva, ha ha ha)

letoya really looks like a jackson. janet is not cute to me at all. poor thing is sprung by jd. ciara looks cute as usual. jayz looks like he is mentally challenged. damn i didnt kno aretha was that big!

^^then he is perfect for jay because half the time she looks like a retard

Ciara needs to shut her mouth. Who told her that was cute????????? (Someone need to stick something in it PLEASE)

ciara doesn’t even have her mouth open. she just has her hand up. and i don’t think its all that annoying. people r just making a big deal.

lol

i found out bouncy performed crazy and de ja vu…wonder why jay was not there by that time yet alone perform it with her

Damn ‘Yonce is killing it in that dress. Those legs…wow.

Yawn @ Janet

I wonder if Ciara has on sneakers with that dress.

LMAO YOU’RE SO STUPID. but yeah, everyone looks good. im happy to see so many successful black people together celebrating another successful black person.

#39…just shut the hell up. Seriously. Nobody buys an album because they saw so-and-so wear a big rock on their finger! My God. What person do you know perchases music cause someone may be getting married? Wtf? Sit down and fall back. I swear folks are so petty.

Co-signs with #85

For some reason, Bey looks like a light skin Ashanti in those performance pics. And yes, Ananada you need a new style. Dont care much for Janet’s hairstyle. She should of let it out or something.

Ananda Lewis doesn’t even look like she aged at all! Remember when people use to think Ananda, Chilie, and Tatyana Ali were all sisters! LOL
ROFLMAO. Yeah, especailly back when Tatayana had her hair wavy. [For along time now] she’s been flat ironing it. Chilli does occasionally, and she recently dyed her hair orange-brown (but I see she dyed it back to Black?) And Ananda well…her hair hasnt changed, lol

Remember y’all that is NOT Beyonce on stage..its SASHA!

hmmmmmmm……wonder why letoya, janet and ciara, especially janet, she needs to promoting that horrible song of hers or debuting her second single

Call on Me is #9 on the R&B Charts and #1 on 106 and Park. I think that’s pretty good for such a ‘horrible song’. Yo, it really baffles me that a Bey-Stan would have the nerve to talk about ANYBODY’S songs Lmao.

^^^^^^^^^, I kno rite?? “deja vu” and “ring the fucking alarm” aren’t such peachy songs either. lmao!

Toya looks fine, that pic is a little weird though. Bee looks really pale… Ciara looks gorgeous.

no performance by letoya and beyonce together??? (i forone am shocked!!^_^)
aretha is (la reina de soul . jus like celia cruz es la reina de salsa) buh why did aretha wear that big white mess?? get on that kanye workout plan gyal!!

WHALE ON THE BEACH

Ciara looks the best out of everyone. B looks a hot mess, will she pleas fire her mom from doing her hair. Natalie looks ok but I wish she would have dressed up.

Now if RiRi died of a heart attack tomorrow all a yall that was talking shit would feel really, really bad for disrespecting The Queen of Soul.

She does need the South Beach diet real bad though. Wonder why her people don’t help her out? That’s f-ed up when people around you just sit by and watch you eat yourself into a grave.

Did ya’ll know she was on Emeril Lagasse show cookin’ fried chicken and shit? I was like, what the hell???

EVERYBODY LOOKS NICE

@ 88 Im sorry, but you shouldnt talk.

Aretha lookin good…I’d smash…

Bey’s red dress was long when she first came on the stage. Then she ripped the bottom part to make it look this short. You can see that when you see other pics of the performance.

I dont like Latoya because she had a nose job..If you dont believe it peep b4 pics when she was in Destiny’s Child…Amerie’s ass did too…look @ her pics from her first album….make me sick!
..Anywayzzz… Latoya looks like she has Michael and Janets plastic surgeon…Gross.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… Ya’ll are certifiably insane!!!! These comments are hilarious!!!!

GEEZ at all the negative comments about beyonce and her attire. i believe the red dress was for beyonce’s performance only. i’ve seen other pics where she was wearing something different. and when she first stepped on stage, the dress was long. when she sang crazy in love i believe thats when she took the bottom half of her dress off.

anyways, I’m glad our race was able to come together for a classy event to celebrate without any drama… everyone looked amazing.

@126 —– maybe you need need to CHILL THE FUCK OUT. It really ain’t that serious. And all of us know that some people up here are HATING on everything BEyonce does, wears, says, or whatever. THe defintiion of a hater is someone who never has anything nice to say. They just hate on the girl. No, not everyone in here is a hater but the ones who are, we all know who they are. Are you a hater? Why are you taking it personal?

Lika Out!

here we go…somebody in disagreement about bey…aw shit the comments gonna reach 400 and this post gonna get shut the hell down..betta hurry up and get in where u fit in…

This post is gonna be a killa. Let me jot somethin quick.
Beyonce-Fellin those thick legs
Aretha-Too Ol’School
Janet- a little too muscular. Gain 5 pounds at least
Is Natalie Cole Nat King Coles daughter?
Obviosly the names sound alike.
I’m Rich Bitch I’m Out!

Natalie Cole is the freaking bomb! I love her old music, I still jam to it now. My mother used to have her 8-tracks and I used to play them non-stop.

Yea, somebody really need to help Re-Re out with her diet/exercise plan or lack thereof, we’d like for her to be around for a while.

I don’t know I love Ms. Jackson but she looks different and I can’t seem to put my finger on what it is.

Wow I haven’t seen Ananda since she left MTV

@152, isn’t that the same w/ almost every fucking artist. there is always gonna be people who just hate for no reasong. there is no reason to freak out. honestly.

natalie cole is just beautiful! janet looks great! wish i could’ve been there for B’s performance…i’m sure she laid it out!

@ 157, I am not freaking out. But I do notice an overwhelming amount of negativity on this board towards Beyonce. It’s silly and getting old.

so u don’t want anyone to say anything negative about beyonce? so we r not aloud to say when she looks bad? i mean i bet u like it when everyone says she looks beautiful when she actually does. come on now, i think thats a little childish of you. (don’t kno how old u r).

wow is it just me or does Latoya look like the black Katie couric? Just thought id bring some kind of distraction to the board cuz this thing with Bey is just simply overated.
what is up with Ciaras’ rug on her head i think her chin strap is loose.LOL It looks like if she bends forward just a little…..

@160, so now you putting words in my mouth, huh? When did I ever say that. NEGRO PLEASE, save that psycology bs for your moms, you and I both know that is not what i said.

Oh yeah Angel.la i have been dying to comment on that whole bobbi christinas big sister thing! YOU cant tell me that ish wasnt FUNNY.!! But foreal i like this pic this BEST the other ones were dark and it seemed like you were trying to hide your face, and you looked masculine. Anyho i have much respect for what you have done with this site!! Concretloopian fo life!!!

ARETHA FRANKLIN LOOKS LIKE A TASTY BUTTERBALL WHO I WOULD LOVE TO TURKEYBAST .THE THINGS I WOULD DO TO THAT SEXY WOMAN .

Everyone’s looks nice to me but Ciara,Beyonce,Toya’s hair is a no-no!

@118 tell ‘em girl! LMAO!

I can’t read through all the posts, but I know I’m can’t be the only person that noticed the rock on Janet’s left hand in that first pic.

Everybody looks fantastic! (But Aretha betta watch it with those lowcut gowns. Mama gotta hold those boobs in!)

Natalie looks AMAZING. I bet she’s been hitting the gym.

Aretha loves to show those big jugs. Sometimes I forget she’s a minister.

Hmmmm, I see a diamond on Janet’s ring finger. I wonder if the rumors are true.

Yes that ring on Janet’s finger is ridiculous!!!

@162, You and I also both kno that beyonce looks bad. lmao! jk. i don’t have time for this BS. I think its pretty stupid to get mad ova an artist that don’t even kno ur ass. no, thats waaayyyyyyyy stupid. wuteva.

-aretha does have some big jugs, and that dress is super low cut. not sure if that is a good idea lol
-beyonce looks good. her little short dress is cute.
-letoya def. had some plastic surgery.
-natalie cole looks good, even if the jeans are a little underdressed.
-ciara looks beautiful. LOL that POSE NEEDS TO GO!
-janet. oh janet. what happened to her? she looks too muscular. those bangs needs to go. i think wavy hair makes her face look softer.

@170 BrownSkin…..

I agree with you. It’s all fun in games here on CL. IF you feel me then great, if not great. There are over 100 different posts on here to keep you entertained. By the way, her li’l red dress is cute.

BrownSkin, you got the response you wanted though?

Janet’s updo is so chic and elegant…I love it..even if her album flops hey, she is Ms. Jackson..
Bey looks the same, the new Tina Turner…
Natalie Cole is still holding it down, she is just as gorgeous as she was back in the day…
Ciara is soooo beautiful with the black hair..our new Janet/Aaliyah.
OMG I can’t believe Letoya didn’t do her hair–TSK TSK.

AREATHA I have two words for her: BREAST REDUCTION

Anyway, Angel.La I love your new avatar. It’s soft and very pretty…

Don’t worry bout these morons!!
