Jamie did a great dedication to his family and Gerald Levert with ‘Wish You Were Here’
Mary J kept it hood with ‘We Ride’
And Snoop & Akon doing ‘I Wanna Luv You’, ‘Smack That’, and ‘That’s That’ – best performance IMO…
because they actually put a pole dancer on stage…get em girl!
Im first
i saw this on tv….unfortunately,i didnt think the show was that great. it was kinda boring.
Everyone looks nice with the exception of flavor flavvvvvv and brian mcknight..Brian why are you wearing a funeral suit???? I still love you though.
Beyonce looked nice as always.
dang sean!!
i was kinda jealous about the girl on the pole though… lol.
and why was raven there and she didnt present an award with The Cheetah Girls???
damn chamillionaire is ugly as shittttt..damn that’s a face only a mother could love.
hova’s dancers should shave their armpits
Look more like the BET Awards..WTF?
Boring show as usual. I missed the Flava Flav part. Does he know how much embarrasses himself. He must at this point. Right? Anyway, the best part was probably seeing that awful performance from PCD. That one girl busted her ass. LOL. Kind of reminds me of Michelle, but worst. And what the hell was up with that one girl coming up out of nowhere at the end trying to out sing the lead when she obviously can’t sing. Hot ass mess. The last hour was filled with nobodies and has beens. I could of changed after Jay Z.
Everyone looks nice! Raven needs a wardrobe stylist, so she can take that robe off! And what is that shiny stuff on bey’s feet standing next to ashlee?
It was a good show, I caught most of it.
oh and kirk franklins daughter is all grown up, she looks like his wifes sister.. or is it?
Beyonce’s performance was good……Or shall I say Sasha was not unleashed with the exception of the lacefront.
Mary’s performance was poop, she is sooooo boring!
Jay’s performance lacked energy….he needed a hype man or something.
What kind of bufoonery did akon have on stage!!!
his song “smack that” is hott garbage.
Jamie foxx’s performance was very inspiring.
The pussycat dolls were tacky….why did the black girl come out 15 secs before the performance was about to end?
Jimmy Kimmel was funny…especially when he made the comment about rappers/country singers.
Am still looking forward to watching the show tonight.
It must be said, so I am going to come out and say it Flavor Flav you’re a grown ass man, What the f**k is wrong with you. Stop looking and acting like a fool, Even if the man is paying you have some respect for yourself and your family. A makeover is needed it is way, way pass due.
Everybody look nice and classy, but the show was boring and the host was corny. To me the only performances that was great, was of course, Beyonce, Jaime Foxx, Jay-z and Snoop Dogg.
Everyone basically looks good and in good spirits. Raven looks nice and my boy Chamillionare is looking to right!
I’m glad Deelishiz didnt come…she stay sporting thos cheap ass rave and rainbow prom dresses…she need a upgrade
and im not hating…she just needs and upgrade thats all
Mary J–Looking old as hell, but still kickin’
Brian McKnight–when is the baby due?
Isiah and Jenisa–Gotta love Black Love!
Chris Brown–uhhh, no.
Jaime Fox–looks constipated in first pic…sorry J.
Flavor Flav–Yeah Boooooy! Still lookin’ crazy tho.
Akon Pole Dancer–Nasty…just plain ol’ nasty. Is that the best he can do to represent? Daaaayum! And how the hell did his song “I wanna F-you” even make it on the charts? Come on yall!! Where’s the dignity? Keep selling your soul for a dollar and you may wake up bankrupt. Nuf said
-Game Looks Handsome,
-Eww Chris Is Lookin All Old, I Like His Lil Young Innocent Look,
-Not Feelin Beyonce’s Dress,
-Cheetah Girls Gaining A Couple Pounds Eh?
Did u guys see BEYONCE???? OMG, that woman is BEE-YOU-TEE-FULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. And as usual, her performance was amazing.
F*** the rest.
^^^@13 Yeah that’s Kirk wife’s daughter b4 they were together she is only 17 or 18.
-
Is it me or does Kirk Franklin have on Eyeliner?
oh yeah i wanna comment on ever one else too…
beyonce-dont get me wrong shes an okay singer and a pretty girl but i am so sick of her…
raven-looks nice from the shoulders up, but im quite sure she has on some ugly ass shoes like always
mary j-mary is just mary-basic and dull
flava flav- NO COMMENT
jamie foxx- he looked okay..not spectacular or anything…i think his hair line is spray painted or something because its just wierd
every one else wasnt mentionable
**excuse any typos**
My comments. I actually liked the show and really enjoyed the performances. I think Beyonce’s Irreplaceable was just like all other Irreplaceable performances just with a nicer outfit and worse lacefront. Wish they had someone with a faster performance start the show. Overall, she looked nice all night, but made a bad choice of lacefront and i have seen her with better makeup. Was off.
Jay-z’s performance lacked energy. There was definitely something missing. He just seemed to be walking up and down the stage. I am glad he left the usual Waaave, and waaave foolishness and resorted to a different kind of wave. It was cute to see how Beyonce was supporting her man throughout the whole performance. He didnt seem that moved by hers, but then he is a man and he also shows emotions differently. I see the whole Bey-Jay entourage went missing after the JZ performance. I guess they left. Nigga has an album to promote.
Thanks to AKon and Snoop for affirming the steereotypes the american public has of hip hop music that it is all about hoes. They could not have done the performance without those strippers? That being said, the stripper on the pole had skills but there is a time and place for everything. I actually liked the songs they both performed. Just not the delivery.
Lionel- Damn! He still got it. And he can still get it. Boo to the crowd that was sitting front row when Lionel went down and was shaking their hand. They were kinda cold.
Jamie’s performance was quite emotional but he done turned that whole event into a funeral or memorial service for a minute. Wish he sang a different type of song.
Nely Furtado – I didnt really watch. I was handling business.
LOVED LOVED LOVED Mary’s performance. I am not a Mary fan and so was quite surprised. the song grew on me instantly. First time I had heard that song. Congrats to her for her 2 AMAs.
LOL @ all the snafus with the Pussy Cat Dolls’ chair falling, one of Snoop’s dancers almost tripping and all the other things that can only happen with a live show.
Overall, a very entertaining night. They kept bringing it with the performances.
I am glad Kanye won nothing.
Keyshia Coles looks like a local hoodrat..Micro braids to an event as such is not a good look Keyshia. Your stylish should have atleast put them up damn a ponytail keyshia……..Gosh
flavorrr flavvvvvvvv he is so black and ugly
chamillionare is just hideous
Everyone else looks fine
I love gwen stlye she soooooo flyyyyyy
OMG did u guys see BEYONCE?? She was just FABULOUS. That woman is so BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLL!! And her performance was as amazing as usual.
F*** the rest… Some of them looked kinda ok tho… .. kinda
and kiely looks pregnant…and her outfit is ugly
I really like the little fuzz on Chris face…when is he 18 again?
everyone had great performances except Gwen Stefani, Akon, and the Pussycat Dolls [off-key, late members, and one chick even fell off the chair lol]
and how can you praise akon? excluding the fact that i cringe at the sound of his voice, i was ashamed as a black female to see that kind of ghetto sh*t at an award show. this isnt the hip-hop awards or the source awards. i mean nothing against the pole dancer.. she did her thang.. but save it for the clubs. and akon… please… for heaven’s sake invest in vocal lessons. snoop just gets on my nerves.
to #7: i didnt even realize that. but we all know those 3lw chicks have a history of being two-faced.
I’m mad I missed it. Oh well I’m waiting for youtube to put it on there. Neway, Jay Looks nice…I lOVE THE ALBUM!!!
lol @ the girl who said deelishis be wearing rave/rainbow prom dresses….that was funny. And Lord forgive me, but I noticed that too, @ simieon.
I thought the Game looked sooo cute. He really looks nice all dressed up and when he’s not. Very Handsome!
Everybody looks good, and it looks like they all had fun. I’m happy for Mary J. winning.
Beyonce looks a bit old.. and that guy she’s on stage with looks like Loon..lol..also, I think Keyshia Cole should have won an award
That Flavor Flav joke was the lamest gimmick of the night. Prior to that, I personally thought Jimmy Kimmel was funny. So he lost cool points with that one. Fla is a fool.
I didn’t see the show, but I am sure someone will be YouTubin’ it soon. Beyonce chose the right color dress, but the dress was just off (IMO). And Kirk Franklin…”HOWYOUDOIN?”
Did Beyonce have a detachable dress? cause I was feeling it before she got half naked…
Tyrese looks a mess in his baggy blazer and saggy pants who is he trying to be?
Jamie fox looks great I love him.
Jay-z preformance was awful but the break-dancer killed it.
Akon and Snoop’s preformance and that girl on the pole did her thing..and is it me or is the stripper on the pole becoming a norm in preformances (Jeezy had strippers on bet hip-hop awards)
The show was awful overall!
Beyonce was good (as usual).
I really like the strong sense of humility Chamillionaire gives off. I wish him all the best.
I like Jay but I don’t think his performance was standing O worthy.
Flav, Snoop (with that iced out Marijuana leaf), and Akon were all shameful.
The Pussycat Dolls…for them to be a burlesque show turned singing group they sure as hell could’ve done better with their performance. Oh and of course…Melody….what the hell?!
Jamie did a beautiful job.
You guys are so funny. Ater reading all the comments I was in tears. Thanks for the laughs! Anywho, I have a few comments of my own. Everyone for the most part looked good but I had to comment on some folks.
My nigga JAY looking very sexy in his suit, show ME what YOU got. Some people need to check Jay’s style and take notes. Example – BRIAN McKNIGHT a white shirt and the black tie with that suit NO!NO!NO! SNOOP’s jacket is too long it makes him look like a dressed up light pole. SEAN PAUL I love you but the Elton John jacket is not a good look for you. JAMIE’s jacket looks like it is buttoned wrong. CHAMILLIONAIRE I don’t know what look he’s going for, but I’ll give him an A for effort. I like him he seems like a nice guy. KEISHA COLE must have been getting high with SEAN PAUL before the show. RAVEN’s robe is really cute. GAME looking like a professional gangbanger. But, I love the suit very nice.
I didn’t see the awards show, but from these pics, it was nothing special.
@ #36 Taj- I’ve ALWAYS thought Kirk Franklin was GAY!!! His looks just screams HOMO to me.

_____________________________________
The girl fell and kept dancing. her foot got caught in the chair it was not as worse as Michelle’s fal on 106.
I think Melody was trying to outsing Nicole what the hell was that she showing up late and shyt, but I was laughing my ass off. The strippers were degrading. Bee did nice. Mary Okay.
..and I thought her ass could sing I guess not.
Whats everybody always talkin about a lace front, whats a lace front?
I didnt like it. Did you see When the girl from the pussycat dolls droped her chair and was looking stuck on stupid.
I got real angry when they gave those hip hop/rap awards to Emenim and Black eyed peas. I dont think they earned because Em Didnt come out with an album this year. He didnt even do anything this year.
#19 she does always look like she is headed to the prom.On flavor of love everony else would have on a nice dress and she would look like a damn brides maid.
I liked the show but it could have been better,there was one performance that wasn’t all that special.
I woke up for Beyonce’s performance I missed most of it but for the most part she is looking like old B again. I never saw Mary so happy about a Beyonce performance so what’s really going on here. Beyonce had me rolling when her man was performing OMG. (She did too much and the roc sign I died on the floor). Like I said what is really going on. I peeped that out to after Jay performed they left. Someone please tell Mary that she doesn’t have to wear a body suit every time she performs. I know Gwen is mad that Nelly and Fergie is jacking her style because watching her performance was like “Oh no not again”. BET awards LMAO.
Kirk’s wife is so pretty but she is just as short as him.
I thought the show was pretty boring.
Someone please tell Mary that she doesn’t have to wear a body suit every time she performs
DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEYONCE IS ALWAYS EVERYWHERE…FUKKK U BEE….U KNO I LUV YOU
The AMA’s was pretty good this year compared to the last 4 or 5 years.
GLad Beyonce opened the show with a mellow song….much different and she did a FABULOUS JOB! I couldn’t see the lace front..she just looked DMAN HOT & she can really sing.
Loved Jay’s performance ( My sister’s friend was dancing or playing the sax in the backgroud ) however from a TV standpoint, it could have been more energized..however I heard from some people that went that is was pretty damn good. When you got that certain something.. you don’t have to do much! He had the entire audience standing for the entire song.
AKON and SNOOP were WHACKED. I hate Akon’s voice..why does everybody love the stripper man?? Snoop is always cool but the stripers really spoiled their set.
Gwen & Nelly did a great job!
Jamie Fox, sang the best I’ve ever heard and with so much emotiong.. he killed it and I’m happy for him. Ya know if Jimmy Kimmel was shocked that his performance was sooooooo good.
Mary’s song was good but she needs to stop wearting the tight catsuit thing.. I was happy for her. She deserved her awards.
PCD was soooooooooo embarrassing. Where did Melody come from?? Was she missing from the entire performance?/ THEY WERE A HOT TRAIN WRECK MESS!! LOLOL. You could even tell at the end that Nicole wasn’t too happy.. Ya ‘ll know she’s going to break out on her own just now…hee hee She carries the entire group.
im pissed that i missed the show
I just love these comments. You make me laugh so hard.
I would like to know why Raven doesn’t associate w/ the Cheetah girls like she used too. She seemed so humble in the begginnings but what is going on now?
She does need a stylist for wardrobe. Don’t stars ever browse websites to get a jist of fan opinion?…I know she has had to hear it by now she can’t dress herself or at least find another stylist.
Every year these shows get more boring by the minute.
I forgot this one..and I am glad….Just like last year and the year before that….
The show was stale at best. I liked Jay’s performance, but I hate I missed Jamie’s. Gwen looks great though, and so did Mary and Brittany.
Sean Paul’s cool, I’d love to him in a suit for once. Chingy’s looking fine as usual. Most of everyone looks nice in the pics. But….
I see Raven just wandered in with that robe she’s wearing. The Game can’t seem to stop looking pised off his tired pics. Flavor Flav always has some big assed clock with him yet he still failed to wake up to how foolish he really looks. And…
I’m so happy and proud of Mary J. Nice to see she won a couple awards. Go head Mary!
I saw the show. I thought Jamie Foxx, Jay Z, Snoop and Akon were the best. Mary J Blige and Beyonce were boring and could have done better.
Wow…you know whats weird…you see no STEVE WONDER, A. KEYS, JILL SCOTT, MUSIQ INDIA ARIE, HELL YOU DONT SEE TO MUCH OF G-UNIT……LIKE …YOU NOTICED ARTIST THAT REPRESENT THE URBAN/BLACK CULTURE THROUGH LIFE AND THROUGH MUSIC DIDNT REALLY PERFORM OR GIVE OUT AWARDS…….SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT
#16
FLAVA FLAV…I AGREE WITH #16 YOU HAVE NO DIGNITY OR SELF RESPECT….LIKE THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH A DOLLAR CAN GET YOU….. I mean you belonged to one the the greatest politically voice hip hop groups and this is how you carry yourself……Yeah your funny to watch but its a gross kind of funny..like does he listen to the old records he took part in…..bc he doing this shit ……
BEYONCE YOU LOOK GOOD, AS USUAL, BUT UM…..YOUR BEAU REMINDS ME OF KANGAROO JACK……..
AKON IS SINGING AT THE AMA’S WOW…….. I WOULD RATHER HAVE OMARION B4 HIM ANYDAY…….LIKE DAMN NO CIARA, MONICA, JOHNTA AUSTIN….
DANG IM HITTTING UP A USED CD JOINT AND BUYING NOTHING BUT OLD CD’S……OLD ARTIST ABOUT TO GO GOLD F’N WITH ME
#38 — Chamillionaire does seem humble. Looking like that he better be humble. I’m just saying.
