AFTERPARTY! That’s right, with all that black star power last night, ya’ll know the winners had to celebrate with some hot chicken wings and hennessy!
It went down until the wee hours of this morning with Ludacris holding two parties to celebrate his wins and Universal Records threw a special dinner for the Queen - Mary J. Meanwhile, Chaka Kahn was getting down at the Official Grammy party and Beyonce threw a shindig with people magazine to celebrate the night…

I wonder why Jay-Z wasn’t at the Grammy’s or any of the after-parties? I hope the rumor about him and B breaking up isn’t true…

I heard Jennifer Hudson say on Ellen that she sang “And I am Telling You” for the first time live at the POST-grammy party.
I was surprised because I thought she wasn’t going to ever sing the song live because if she messed up, it may ruin her Oscar chances.
Did anybody hear about this or does anybody know how she did?

Time magazine grading of the grammy performances
Justin Timberlake
What Goes Around
Grade: B+
Timberlake was seducing the audience from his perch behind an upright piano—which, skeptics take note, he actually played—bouncing and winking and generally having his way with everyone in the room. Then, for no comprehensible reason, he grabbed a camcorder, held it up to his face and serenaded himself Blair Witch Style. There’s an obvious sexual metaphor here, but I’m far too modest to explain it. Let’s just say it was an unfortunate end to what was on course to be the best performance of the night.
Beyonce
Listen
Grade: A-
Beyonce stalked the stage in a diaphanous dress with flowers in her hair. She could have sung I’m Henry VIII, I Am and gotten a B. As it happens, she killed her scenery-chewing ballad from Dreamgirls, taking it for a precision ride up and down the scales
Corinne Bailey Rae, John Legend and John Mayer
Like a Star/Coming Home/Gravity
Grade: C
Rae, Legend and Mayer were asked to fill six minutes of television with low energy songs—despite the fact that all of them have songbooks full of animated, uptempo numbers. Rae did a creditable job on Like a Star, but it’s not a song you can get away with playing on an acoustic guitar while sitting on a stool. Legend’s vocal from behind his piano was similarly low-key, though there was a nice moment of three-part harmony on the chorus. Mayer broke free to show off some blues guitar chops, but the whole thing was a snooze.
Mary J. Blige
Be Without You
Grade: B+
Blige always seems just a few seconds away from going totally bananas—it’s her principal charm. Her vocal was typically all over the place, but from the overwrought spoken word intro to the Shewolf, scrape-my-vocal-cords cry at the end, Blige held nothing back. Better as television than as music, but very entertaining television.
Shakira w/ Wyclef Jean
Hips Don’t Lie
Grade :A-
Shakira is James Brown if James were a Colombian woman who wore his gold lame cape low on his hips. She smiles, she moves in ways that appear dangerous to her long-term health and sings in a tremolo that grabs your ears. Reporters on the scene say that Wyclef was on-stage, too.
Gnarls Barkley
Crazy
Grade A-
Here’s how to do a slow song. Dressed as airline pilots, Gnarls Barkley’s Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse began alone on a raised platform in the middle of the crowd. Playing dozens of beats per minute slower than on the original record, they set a dramatic tone, then moved to the main stage where a full orchestra and an army of back-up singers were waiting to join them on the chorus.
Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie and Chris Brown
Tracks of My Tears, Hello, Run It
Grade: B
Smokey’s opening was meek and sad for the wrong reasons. Lionel followed with a decent Hello, but Chris Brown blew them both away with his step show version of Run It. It was a Jackson-esque performance, in a good way.
Christina Aguilera
It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World
Grade: B-
Was this part of the previous medley? No idea, since Aguilera immediately followed Chris Brown but was never introduced. In any event, inviting X-tina to cover James Brown is just playing to her weaknesses. There’s no note Aguilera can’t turn into 10, and she predictably eradicated the melody while giving us a tour of her range. Going to her knees JB-style, though, earns her a little grade inflation.
Ludacris with Earth Wind & Fire and Mary J. Blige
Runaway Love
Grade: B+
A totally different looking Mary J. Blige—blonde highlights, red pants suit—returns to sing the chorus while a tuxedoed Ludacris, looking nothing like the guy who sang ‘I got hoes in different area codes’, raps his social realist tale. Women holding candles sway behind them. Why am I not offended by the obvious corniness of this? Don’t know, but it’s actually pretty good.
Dixie Chicks
Not Ready to Make Nice
Grade: C+
They chose to do the big ‘Go F*** Yourself’ song, and, while the Grammy stage is the right place for big statements, Not Ready to Make Nice isn’t even one of the six best songs on the Dixie Chicks’ album, and they’ve never quite figured out how to make it work live. Maines hit the tough notes but wavered on the low and quiet ones. The whole performance never took off.
My Grammy Moment Duet, Robyn Troup with Justin Timberlake
Ain’t No Sunshine/My Love
Grade: B
This could have been memorably horrible. Troup literally walked out of the audience and onto the stage after Jennifer Hudson announced that she had won the call-in vote. But it actually made for decent drama and Troup showed confidence, if not exactly a booming voice, while moving from Bill Withers’ signature hit to Timberlake’s.

chicken
Tuesday, February 13, 2007 /
I think the chicken looks kinda tasty.
I still like Ja rule even though nobody else does cause 50. But I liked him before 50 came out and Im not gonna stop just because 50 dont like him.
Luda looks good.
Nelly looks sexy too.
John Legends mom…….? (no comment)

Is Ja Rule auditioning to be a replacement in Jodeci or something?
When will a bee sting Ms. Nash so she can stop that flower mess. A signature look is one thing but that’s just abuse.
Chaka Khan….the Pre-Rihanna. But Chaka is a diva so she can do what she wants.
Thank goodness India.Arie is not her hair!!!
Where’s Aubrey? Somewhere diddling Diddy i suppose. And is that Dawn or D.Woods about to have a side boob slip?

The dress Beyonce has on looks like the red dress Dustin Hoffman wore in that old movie “Tootsie” just black instead of red. She was a mess at the awards her wig looked like shit sorry stans but your girl was off and what was the point of us hearing “Listen”…she needs to get out the spotlight for at least 2-3 seconds give us time to miss her. IT’S OVERKILL she is a very beautiful talented girl but DAMMIT SIT DOWN FOR AWHILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LUDA, sit down!
You got your grammy b/c you listened to Oprah and released something more positive (Runaway Love - I still think T.I. was robbed). Then you gonna go and try to call her out for calling you out about your lyrics and portraly of women in your videos.
Sorry y’all, I thought I was debating in class for a minute.

@62 Melisus—– your picture is not a good look for you. Fat Rolls and a brawl with a terrible pose! Not a good look at all and it seems as if you are talking about B’s new pose when you are doing the same one in your photo. Its not that your look is even considered a BAD LOOK for you, ITS A NO LOOK 4 U!! Sorry Sweetie, TRY AGAIN!!

Those wings were served as auirdourves. I have never seen no ish like that in my life. I always wondered how celebs could eat meat that get there fingers dirty. Most classy ppl will not eat foods if there fingers will dirty but that chicken was on a whole nother level.

What is all this with Beyonce being sick? There was nothing wrong with that girl except for she wasn’t the star of the show. If anything made her sick, it was that. If you watched any of the interviews she was doing, there was nothing sick about that girl.
