The 2006 Billboard Awards aired last night from Las Vegas. I tried to watch it but, was pretty much a yawner with a few exceptions like Janet opening the show, Mary J. Blige performing and Rihanna popping up.
Infact, Mary came up big last night, winning nine awards – she deserves it. The surprise of the evening? Chris Brown won for artist of the year…
ARRIVALS/PRESS ROOM

Give Raz-B a cookie for bringing back his dusty B2K award. How pathetic…

Wow, almost everyone looks nice, except for dumb-dumb, I mean Flava Flav. Rihanna looks like a whole different person. I like the look but she needs a new hairstyle. Her forehead is too big for a part down the middle. No hate, I’m a hair stylist. A swoop bang would be betetr. Love Janet’s look, Mary (of course), Luda, Chris.
It was only worth watching the first five minutes.
Rihanna beat out beyonce &Mary J for female artist of the year she also won for digital download.
Rihanna is also endorsing LG new chocolate cell phone
cant knock the hustle she’s always on the grind
I’ll be so very happy when these stars stop wearing this damn red lipstick, who told them this was cute?? I think it looks fake and slutty.
Also, when is TI’s baby mama gonna dress up?? I’m sick of seeing her look just like him. Everyone else looks great:)
I didn’t even watch the awards…they all seem the same to me.
Why is Rhianna standig there naked??
And why did Fergie look like a straight up maniquin on stage?
And for the show, they don’t produce ‘em like they used to. NEXT!
damn Rihanna got up and that dress she had on was almost lewd. she was really almost naked, shes really grown and not playing around. I love rihanna. That accent just brings her sexyness over the top.
Fergie is stiff as heel and forgot her own words to her song.
Gwen really seems irrelevent now that nelly fortado and fergie have jacked her swagger.
hell^
Nelly, Vida & Gwen look nice
Im not even gonna say anything about Flav this time *sigh*
6 – the red lipstick is having a STRONG comeback lol. I don’t think its going anywhere anytime soon.
Some girls look good with it tho. It depends on the look you’re going for. It can look a bit aging at times tho.
AHHHG oh my god I just clicked on that picture of T.I. to see what the hell that was behind him.
Mary and Janet’s performances were great….Mary’s singing and Janet’s dancing. I’m loving Janet’s look.
Can we please ban Fergie and Gwen Stefani from urban radio PLEASE!!!!
And the awards were very boring except when Mary got up on stage and worked it, she definitely deserved all them awards!
As for Chris winning Artist of the Year…hell nah his album wasn’t even good enough to have him in any year category! I think Mary should steal that one from the little boy…
I liked the awards show. I thought Janet did the damn thing!!!
I’m sure the rest of you when have plenty to say so I’ll keep my comments brief.
the show was a HOT MESS! All of the performances weren’t good, nothing special to rave about. The award show looked out of place with host, basically had the announcer doing the whole damn show.
Why in the hell was Young Jeezy performing? Wack song=wack performance. I couldn’t hear what he was saying and I don’t know why Luda did the song with Young Jeezy and then Money Maker…that shit was so WACK!
Mary performance was same o same o, with the walking around the stage and trying to sing the highest high note(as usual singing out of her range and off key)
lololol.
Fergie, well I thought she was going to do a good job, but she was just standing in one particular place and was acting like if she move, she might sing a note off key.
gwen stefani- needs to switch it up for the award performance coz her routine is gettin old already(for such a weak song)
overall best performance was janet jackson, even though she still lip-syncing as usual and u still couldn’t even hear her clearly, looking like the corpse bride(LOL)
Uhhhh….can someone tell me why Raz B was there?
And was Vida Guerra there looking for Game & Kanye for their diss song “Wouldn’t Get Far”? She looks like she’s strapped.
Fuck dat!!!! How in the hell did Pon de Forehead win Artist of the year over Beyonce and Mary…..as soon as that shit happened I turned the channel
3 20 beucase she the shit das why
# 18
yuo hit ti right on the head, did you see mary at the end of her performance, she shrugged her shoulders like “thats the best I can do”
I understand that everything has a season Tianna, I just wish it hurries up and passes by. Kind of like in high school when everyone was using black eye liner to line their lips..LMAO, looking like damn clowns!!!!
**Remembers High School…sighs**
i think vida looks nice surprisingly and rhianna another surprise FLAWLeSS!!!!!!! but her legs look much less airbrushed and the chest should have used more top stick honey,
Damn…I missed it because I’ve been studying for an exam
Janet on the red carpet – Trying too hard for a different look
Rihanna – Hott
Mary & Kendu – Lovely
Pharrell – Hott
Gwen – Trying too hard to be different
Chris Brown – A cutie
Raz B – Why was he even there?
Bow Wow – My secret crush – Hott
Flav – Old & Gross
CHRIS BRWOn ARTIST OF THE YEAR? who votes for this stuff
I love red lipstick Tianna…lol It looks good on some people. These celebrities figure that just because one celebrity looks good in it then they will too..*sheesh*
Did any one else not want that big novelty hook to come from behind the curtains and drag ignorant ass 3-6 mafia off stage. Damn you can’t take them no where.
OMG is all I fan say about Rihanna. She is beautiful! A pure GODDESS!
the red lipstick ain’t for everybody, it’s flattering on certain skin tones(usually the warm skin tones,honey,caramel,basically lighter skin tones)
WOW..@Rihanna…simply stunning.
HEY!! dont forget about DANITY KANE who persented… they were all looking gorgeoussssss. too bad theres no pic of them up. =(
Okay…Janet & Mary did the damn thing.
Janet opened the show dancing her butt off. I was on my feet moving. I bet MtV wish they had her grooving on their show. Great performance.
Mary looked good on stage. That was probably one of the best performances Ive seen of hers…She looked great and sounded great. She doesn’t need 50 people on stage with her, she can hold it down by herself. Also glad she did ‘ Take Me As I am ‘
Fergie sure didn’t move. I wonder what the wardrobe malfunction was going to be if she did. she was stiff as hell.
Rhianna is beautiful. She looked like a porcelian doll.
agreed @ 34… i was thinking the same thinggg she didnt even move!!! and iono im really not feeling gwen’s new wig look… and yeah wheres danity kane?!!!
DAMNNNNNNNNNNN Rihanna,,,Babygurl…..stop eating them Beyonce wheaties….
She trying to give Bee a run for the money….
But Bee wore that Babydoll dress on Oprah first….
At least the award show wasnt predicable…it was like the person least likely thought to win…won im glad Chris and Rihanna were recognized Mary won 9 she needed to share the wealth I luv Beyonce and everything but her CD is disappointing she has been over publicized after Dreamgirls she should go on a hiatus and then return with a new style..
ughhh why does everyone compare everybody to beyonce.. beyonce is so overrated shes not even THAT good. shes actually getting really really annoying lately. especially with that to the left to the left song. maddd ugly.
I’m so feeling Mary. Her and I are the same age, and she is truly someone who has stood the test of time, if I may.
Janet was rockin the hair. . .I was diggin it.
That hairdo and dress (if thats what we’re callin it) was not a good look on Janet.
Does T.I have low self-esteem im just saying…can u say she BUSTED…and who invited rasberry he must have won his tickets from the radio lol
@ BKWY
I am brown skin and red looks good on me. Too much of anything can look bad on any skin tone
Eww
Raz B’s Tongue is making nauseous please let that be a shadow!
lol @ #43
I love the way TI and Tiny are always together…she’s a true ride or die bitch and they’re obviously happy together.
nah that chick Tiny is looking like one of them troll dolls
Mika, she can still be his ride or die chick and dress herself up every now and then…throw on a little makeup. I’ve been riding out with my baby for 6 years now, and I still have him wondering how tha hell he landed me >>;)
Ras B looks like he’s advertising what he would do for a comeback. Fix your mouth nigga. That pic does nothing good for those gay rumors.
Rhianna looks nice. She needs a forehead lowering tho. Ima invent that shit.
Tiny from Xscape looks special in a short yellow bus kinda way.
Father forgive me.
Rihanna I know you have a banging body but didn’t your mama tell you to cover your top when your exposing your legs and vice versa…she’s becoming a hooker-lookalike before our eyes
Mary looks good with her man
Fergie=good anti-meth campaign right there
WTF is Janet wearing both on her head and body? yuck
Vida looks like she purchased them cheap ass outfits which show too much and are made of lousy material
ewww check out that picture of janet dancing… the guy to the left of her has nasty armpit hair! and the other dude on the right has like none.. lol oh and janet was absolutely amazing that night! =)
LMAO @ Dave.
Damn ya’ll mean as shit on here. @dave you dead wrong for that lol
@ mzrepresented, It’s just some people…for example Rihanna looks pretty decent with red lipstick. However that shade that Beyonce’s been wearing lately looks horrible.
I love Mary.J but when she sings live it never sounds good. That performance was awful.
maryj, she OVER SINGS alot, dont get me wrong i still love her but she just needs to tone it down a bit.. shes already good she doesnt have to over do it
janet KILLED it. Homegirl did the thang.
m i the only one that notice j.d. standing on his tip toes in the pic wit janet
i didnt watch the awards for the only thing i saw was mary proforming and she looked and sounded a hot azz mess
Am I the only one who thinks that Tiny and TI looks like brothers and sisters? They need to go back and look at them family trees.
@ Lovly6680
You’re right ; )
I liked Janet’s performance, still not buying her album lol. Fergie was high. Mary can not sing.
