@224 lets not get carried away with shes the best. Doesnt beat BEYONCE SORRY OR MARY J OR SHAKIRA in my eyes…Remeber Christina is a jump skeezy though for real, she been around da block and back! Her vocals are good but that new shyt she has (candyman) is wackkkkkkkkkkkkk

@SASSYTERI………What ever you say..that is your say…don’t come at me like that…because just like how you and everyone else up here is entitled to your opinions…it goes the same way for me……like i said…the majority of ya’ll are hating because this chick is white with a black voice…..ya’ll mad because she can out sing most these black female artists……she’ll knock beyonce out anyday..she’ll knock mary out anyday….she can be on stage with jennifer hudson…and kill it too……now if she was white and black….then ya’ll will be giving her alot of props…..now if she was fully black ya’ll will be giving her mad love more than props…..hell ya’ll will be paying more attention to her than beyonce…….so lets not make this an issue and just be real for once BLACK FOLKS

Okay, so all of ya’ll are funny. I love this site.
ANYWAY…..
Beyonce didnt look sick when she was shopping in L.A over the weekend or at the after parties last night, but whatever when I saw her step on the red carpet I knew something was wrong cause the wig was to da side and odd looking.
That girl who sang with Justin got on my nerves, im mad she was voted she seemed like a fake Amerie, but whatever.
Justin is Hot, and im mad to say that because I met him a few years ago and he was a cocky jerk, but I love how all these white signers who pretend to love black people but you never see them date anyone black, their not seen with any blacks unless its their bodyguards or producer (justin, Britney, Robin Thicke) Im just sayin sometimes I feel mocked, Im just waiting to see a video with a painted black face.

Christina’s performance should do wonders for record sales. She killed it.

@227 you honesty think Christina A is better then Mary and Beyonce. OMG! She has a strong voice as does SHakira, deep and can hit those high notes, but that doesnt mean she is better. Look at Mariah with her high notes, and i think MARIAH SUX! I hate her voice. Why you have to make it a black and white issue? All three ladies have talent and great voices and their own styles. You dont have to go there.

Well everyone has there own Opinion I think Christina is beter than Beyonce and I like Beyonce. Christina does have a larger range and that is a fact.

I agree that Beyonce is the best R&B/Pop mix. But, I am very in love with I’m Going Down by Mary J Blige from very long times ago. Christina did a very good performance of Man’s World. I think it was the type of thing that where she is the underdog but then she comes up to the match and the crowd is seeing a surprise. Very good.

I think that it is weird that you have NEVER heard soemone say that Christina is the best of her Generation people say that all the time, they always say she is the Mariah and Whitney of her generation even critics, Beyonce can sang no doubt , but her voice is kind of thin.

I don’t know know though Jenn could give her a run for her money.

#173 Christina did have the best performance…if u thought Bey’s performance for ‘listen’ was the shit u need help. Stop hatin on Christina

@227 “H”, yes, you are entitled to your opinion and I’m not knocking that - I respect that. I’m just saying that an opinion is like an a**hole, everyone has one, but the term hater is thrown around so much that it’s sickening. Everyone is entitled to like or dislike a particular singer. I didn’t say Christina wasn’t good - yes soulful she is, but nothing I haven’t heard before. Again, IMO it has NOTHING to do with her race.

I’m probably a lot older than most on CL so I remember oldschool singers which whom I’m quite sure Christina is emulating. A white chick with a black voice is nothing new (hence Teena Marie). According to most of the posts I’ve read, the MAJORITY of people liked her, so I don’t get it.

Anyway, enough said. I’m done.

Jenn can give her a run for her money? Jen who LOPEZ?????? Are you serious? JLO is my baby no doubt, no one can diss JLO..lol

Please dont say JHUD, i cant stand her!

Did I say Christina is Better than Mary and Beyonce? I said she better in vocals than those two…….read properly dammit

Evetybody look real nice, the show was good…..

Jennifer Hudson and I LOOOOVE HER.

Haters will hate. I only buy the best and the only 2 female singers albums I buy is Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera. They are the best and Christina is 1 of the best and has been 1 of the best. Stripped is a great display of that. I understand the hate that you all feel but sometimes you gotta give props when they are do. I hate your precious Beyonce but I now the bitch can sing and I know that she did do great in dreamgirls. *sighs* but let me stop.

Love,
Christina’s number 1 fan!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WINNERS !
MJBlige !!!

Mary looked stunning and her performance was on point.
She and Kendu both looked nice, and TI is definitely getting his “dapper” on.

Very good look.

boy this site is tooo funny….All I know is back in the day when the American Music Awards used to be the shit EVERYONE put on a good performance. I will never forget that 1984 performance of Micheal Jackson either at the Grammy’s or the AMA’s. The best ever!!!

NO you are right itis nothing new but so are a LOT of these singers someone had to come before them anyway.

Please don’t diss Jen in reference to me I went to hihgschool with her and I will get really angry.

NYLA you went to school with JHUD? i bet you will say she is nice right? She just rubs me the wrong way dont know why, Jenn Lopez is better then her.

My fave performance of the night was the Legend/Bailey/Mayer trio. I thought it was awesome. John Mayer was doing something to me playing that guitar!!!!

Other than that, the show was the usual boring awards show. And I use the words awards lightly, they had more performances than they gave out awards during the telecast.

Christina did her thing with the tribute to James Brown. I loved the suit she was wearing, but I’m going to need her to let go of this Janye Mansfield look with the hair and makeup.

I’m extremely happy for Mary. Some people were complaining about her talking about her past and how in love she is, but I say to those people…you trying dating that monkey Ki-Ci and see how happy you’ll be to finally get a decent man!!!!!

Terrence Howard looked good. I loved his suit. Kinda Harlem ‘Renaissanceish’. But will someone please, please, please tell him…JUST READ THE TELEPROMPTER!!! Everytime he presents an award he turns into this great orator. Terrence, just read and stand there and look pretty.

Beyonce likes those see through dresses doesn’t she?

And why did Luda have to ruin a good moment by trying to crack on Oprah?

Yes she is very nice and I am soo proud of her.

Damn, over 200 comments already??? Well, I thought the Grammy’s were okay. It didn’t suck and it wasn’t amazing but it was less boring than it ever has been, and there was some good performances. I just hated the fact that not everyone who won a Grammy was seen receiving it.

I agree that Luda did not deserve that Grammy for Best Rap Album. I was rooting for TI because unlike Luda, TI can actual rap without doing commercial song after commercial song after commercial song.

Mary did the damn thing and had the best performance of the night! Why do people say that her voice is ruined? She has an amazing voice and did great. She deserved ever Grammy she recieved.

Christina Aguilera can sang but she was screaming the song at times and screamed too much when she hit a note out of her range. It was a high note that she screamed and it sounded too much. I’m tired of you dumbass, no-it-all, closeminded people who keep using that ridiculous word haters or hatin. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, get over it! Ya’ll just say that because you want to make it sound like you’re right just because you feel strongly about something. Christina is a white girl who can sang, nothing more. There’s no true soul to her voice. Singers like Joss Stone have that pure natural soul.

Anyways, I just watched Beywannce’s performance and it wasn’t as bad as people said it was but it was just, expected…predicted. Beyonce sounds the same and looks the same onstage every performance. Plus the song is wack as hell.

Carrie Underwood did so good. She actually made me like those country songs she was singing only because of her pure, clear voice.

I WAS HOPING THAT BEYONCE WAS GOING TO DO A PERFORMANCE LIKE SHE DID ON THE MTV AWARDS. THAT HAD TO BE THE BEST PERFORMANCE SHE EVER DID FOR RING THE ALARM, THAT WAS HOTT AS HELL, I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED EVEN THOUGH SHE SOUNDED GREAT AND LOOKS SO PRETTY

Dammit George!!! *sad face*

yo i was speechless with Christina’s performance the girl has soul.

@42: “Also i feel sorry for Jamie Foxx, he’s a playa fo real and as his punishment, God looks like He gonna make his daughter fine when she gets older. Damn i hope i never have a daughter.”

Do you really think God is going to punish Jamie for his womanizing by “making his daughter fine”? Come on now.

much when she hit a note out of her range.

That note was very similar to James Brown Performnce of the song he did in 2004. IT WAS MEANT TO BE THERE. I am not trying to be mean but that just shows that you don’t know much about James Brwon. I guess he hit the note out of his range too.

Christina’s performance was alright, but it would have been nice to see a real tribute done for James Brown. I forgot this was the Grammy’s not BET or Soul Train.

Where do I begin:

1) Beyonce’- you are really beginning to bore me. Change your haircolor or go on hiatus ASAP.
2) Rihanna and Paula- Dresses were the ish even though I really can’t stand either one of you (although Rih Rih does rep us cute girls with eightheads.)
3) Big Boi- What I wouldn’t give to let you tear it up for one night. So next time leave wifey home. When are y’all gonna break up like normal celebrity marriages?
4)TI, Terrence Howard, and Ludacris were some of the most articulate men on the red carpet. Chris Brown and Common take notes.

lmao at people saying Christina oversang the song. Go to youtube and search the song. My momma was shocked. James Brown must be proud.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...mp;page=1&t=t&f=b

The exact same note she hit was the same one he did, so obviously it was planned.

LUPE FIASCO DESERVED BEST RAP ALBUM NOT TI OR LUDACRIS.

LUPE FIASCO!!! HE GOT LIKE ONE SONG DONT HE…OMG HE IS NOT BETTER THEN LUDA OR TI..WAKE UP

Rihanna - best dressed
Justin - Best performance (What goes around comes around)
What the hell did Beyonce win a grammy for? Im glad the dixie chiks won cause they deserved it, Mary too. Everone else looks fly.

Well I missed Mary’s first performance but I am glad she won. Go Mary!!! Chris Brown is a great performer. But he was just tired. But I loved his tribute to James Brown, I almost started to cry when they put up his cape. Christina was OK. She has great vocals but you can not understand her words. And what was up with Luda dissing my girl Oprah like that. He better sit his ass down some where.

i don’t usually comment but i wanna hear the posters that said Christina can’t sing. She sang that song. I know you would rather see your idol up there but give the girl credit. That was one of the most memorable performances in years. Mary’s blessed last night.It was nice seeing Tony Benneth with Stevie they go way back.

@ #227, are you losing your mind? Please tell me what stuff you on so I can get some of that. Because that $hit gotta be good for you to say “(X-Tina)she’ll knock beyonce out anyday..she’ll knock mary out anyday….she can be on stage with jennifer hudson…and kill it too……”

LMAO! It’s too eary for April’s fool. Quit playing!

And for those of you who are trying to make it out of a race issue…please grow DA FUCK UP! I enjoy X-Tina’s voice and yes the girl has soul. BUT, that song was not for her. She did not do that song any justice. Maybe I need to watch the clip again. I think I’ll do that now.

LMAO @ FOXXY380 YOU RIGHT MA FOR REAL

I’m sorry but Lupe Fiasco has plenty of songs and he is a far more better rapper than Luda and TI.

lol at people saying the scream was a mistake. Talkin out of your asses it was part of the song. I hate people who just jump into conclusion without knowing. She made James Brown proud. Standing ovation well deserved. I love that they have different stage setting this year.

What was entertaining about Chris Brown’s performance? He didn’t even sing! He looks stupid dancing and that chick has the nerve to say Christina sounded a mess get the fuck out of here and stick to youngings like Chris Brown, honey…

BIG UPS 2 Christina Aguilera. I think she did a great job!!!!

Sorry , but Foxxy you must be on that stuff not because you don’t believe it , but Because people have been saying THAT FOR YEARS, I mean that’s like someone saying Whitney will knowck Celind Dion out anyday and you being shocked that someone said that. WTF most people consider Christina to be on Whitney and Mariah’s level (maybe not as good as they are, but this isn’t shocking that people would say that.

Beyonce is good , but she is not up to par with Christina vocally. I’m sorry but she isn’t.

@ #262, girl I’m serious. @227 H is crazy as hell!

Okay. I watched it again. And like I said, she didn’t do that song any justice. She started off good but the rest of the performance I wasn’t digging at all. Like I said, I love Christina so I am in no way “hating” or saying this b/c she is not black. But that performance was not spectacular like some of you are trying to make it out to be.

beys hair looked plastic and she might ass well came on naked you could see clear threw that dress know one barlely clapped when she finished, hope she washed. i really dont care for mary but last night she took my heart, but christina tooooooooooooore it up she can sannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng. jen was beautiful, luda is so cute,jamie looked a little sad. shakira can dance the show over all waz aiight.

MARIAH SUX, I HATE THOSE HIGH PITCHED TONES. WHITNEY IS DA BOMB AT LEAST WAS BACK IN THE DAY. CHRISTINA IS DEFINITLEY UP THERE WITH THE VOCALS, SEE BEYONCE IS A BIT LESS POWERFUL WITH HER VOCALS, BUT MARY I FEEL IS DEFINITLEY UP THERE TOO. BUT NONE OF IT HAS TO DO WITH BLACK OR WHITE JUST TALENT

All yall thats complaining about Christinia doing the James brown tribute are fuckin stupid. His wife was white for god sake. Christinia killed that performance hands down; her and Mary had the best of the night. As for the other performances no one sounded bad. The worst to me was the Police followed by Beyonce. She was good but not spectacular, and i love Beyonce. But I knew she had to be sick. Why did the Dixie chicks have to win every dam award, but overall i respect them. And yes TI was robbed.

Well FOxxy no you don’t seem to be hating, but c’mon people say she screamed but will PRAISE Fantasia when Fantasia screams more and I love Fantasia, and James Brown did a hell of a lot of screaming his self. I mean some people are just saying these things cuz she is White regardles if youy like her or not.

245, I agree! When he cracked on Oprah, I thought that was tasteless on his part, because Luda is more civilized than that. And I guess he’s still pissed with Bill O’Reily about that whole Pepsi fiasco.

Christina Was flawless

I have to say that I was in tears after Mary sang! Congrats to her on her wins;but whay did Jamie (Foxx) have the expression on his face,he looked as someone pissed him off!

Damn Christina worked the hell of of “This Is A Man’s World” she had me in aww,I always knew she could sing;but she showed out,last night!

Loved Chris(Brown’s) performance.

Beyonce looked tacky last night,her lace front was really ugly(too bad NO REFUND-in the a Asian voice)I like Beyonce but she just didn’t bring it at all last night! Maybe she and Kelly partied too much it was (Kelly’s B-day) yetersday!

WTF is Rihanna wearing? Clearly, she has on no panties. nasty ho. Put on some underwear.

DIXIE chicks won way too many awards. Mary should have taken at least 6 and chris brown was shut out……. Luda w/ mary and earth wind and fire was the best performance hands down….for the most part I hated the grammys this year…..but everyone looked pretty good.

I’m sorry but did I say Christina tore the up?
I meant Christina tore IT up. My Badd.

And first of all why make this a black and white issue? It’s about whoever can sing. Mary, Beyonce, Mariah, Jennifer, Christina can all sing. It just so happen that Christina was the one who killed it last night.

Anyway Common had me rolling what he said to Kanye.
I guess Luda’s beef with Oprah is over. It was meanlinless anyway. Why the hell Akon wore white and George Clinton no comment. I like Rihanna dress.

OMG I think I said that already. We’ll Chow!

Oh, I gotta give it up…I am not a Christina fan, but THAT’S how u do someone’s song…she tore that damn James Brown song Up!!! I woulda been out my seat if I was there.

I AM SO HAPPY FOR MARY SHE DESERVE EVERY AWARD SHE GETS AND NEED TO GET MORE! BEYONCE WAS TRASH NOBODY GAVE HER STANDING OVATION HER 15 MINUTES IS COUNTING DOWN! CHRISTINA WAS AWESOME WITH HER SINGING SELF! PRINCE OMG HE IS SO GOOD!

IF YALL THINK BEYONCE PERFORMANCES WAS GREAT YOU WAS HIGH !

Christina Aguilera killed that performance. Wow!
http://www.realtalkny.net...istina-aguilera-in-maxim/

After comment 82 I said f-ck it so I’ll say this about Christina’s performance.

While it made me a little uncomfortable they picked her to pay tribute to James Brown and her being the only one I had mixed feelings about how she did….on and off it was pretty good but she did NOT KILL IT or do the damn thing like a lot of people are saying, there were times where I said WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT when she was just YELLING, not hitting the note….YELLING…… whoever said Teena Marie could’ve done better I applaud that…….besides her I’d have LOVED to have seen alicia keys do that song…..that’d been hot too. Usually I love Christina’s performances but my feelings on how she did last nice are crazy mixed….. same with mary’s performances aside from the one with Luda and earth wind and fire.

@278- what did common say to kanye?

and what did jamie say that had ppl laughing?

didn’t see the show

EBZ said:
_________
She paid tribute to him on her Back to Basic cd. The track is called Back In the Day.

I didn’t get that CD but oh….still I’d like to have seen alicia keys do that song but I’d probably enjoyed teena marie more than christina too.

All my liteskinned beauties looked good. Beyonce looked fab so bitches shut up. Mary J. tore the house down but looked old and wrinkled as usual. Xtina looked pretty; India looked like a piece of shit. Liteskin girls stand up!

I had no problem with Luda sarcastic comment to Oprah. Dont get me wrong she is a great black woman however, she was out of line when she mistreated him on her show. Success is indeed the best revenge. People have the right to disagree with Oprah, her name aint Jesus as far as Im concerned. Im fed up with people kissing her a$$ all the time. As far as Bill Oreilley, well, no comment.

Justin’s first performance sucked, wtf was he doing with the camera, conceited mother^%$#@*. His album is alright thanks to Timbaland and Danga but JT is a wanna be Jon B but will never come close. Dont even talk to me about album sales because to me what makes an artist is not about how much you sold your first week. Its about longevity. Will people sing JT songs in 20 years such Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye etc. I dont think so.

everyone looks great especially Rihanna! George Clinton needs a bath! eww

I was disappointed by Beyonce and Chris Brown, both of whom gave a sub-par performance! They need to hook Bee’s hair up too cause I was mad at that shiny piece in her head! That looked like some shit I could have bought for her wit my broke ass lol! It would have looked better up w/ that dress. And where the hell was Jigga?! The show was dry as hell except for Mayer/Legend/Rae, Mary, and Luda(I was glad he didn’t do Moneymaker *whew*) and Christina tore the roof off the motha! That is one talented girl who’ll sing a TON of folks in the industry under the table right about now!

Okay NYLA. Now you tripping for real. You contradicting yourself. You said “Christina to be on Whitney and Mariah’s level (maybe not as good as they are, but this isn’t shocking that people would say that.”

If you are on “someone’s level” that means that you are equal, equivalent, or the same as them. There is no way in hell X-Tina can be on Whitney’s level. That’s a damn insult. How dare you! Now maybe she is on the cracked out Whitney level. Yeah, I’d give her that. But old Whiteny…hell naw!

As far as the screaming, I understand why she was screaming. She was singing a James Brown song for God’s sake. She was supposed to. I’ve heard this girl sing plenty of times b4 and she could sang. But that wasn’t a good performance by a long shot. Sorry!

@ 268 don’t justify yourself to these people on here,its your opinion,they learn one day.

either it was going to be ti or luda that was going to win best rap album.just be proud.i proud of them both they both came a long way.TI he will definitely get his and its long awaited but being bitter won’t do it.

i think christina did a great job.

TO HBIC:

Jamie made a joke about Snoop running away from the Grammy’s because the Police was performing. He also said he was crip walking at the Grammy’s and since some people dont know what crip walking is, he was going to translate for them. Not too many people laughed at that joke so his response was: that joke would kill on BET or something.

My quotes arent exact but Im sure you can cath it on Youtube. I thought it was funny, he should have hosted the damn show.

#284 Kanye said something and Common told Kanye that he was tired of him crying for not winning an award.

I don’t know WFT jamie foxx said.

The Grammy’s were actually entertaining this year!

-I have to start with announcing that, for the first time, I hated every single dress that Beyonce wore. She was wayyyy off. Even her performance dress was fug. And what was up with that floral arrangement!? I’m not even gonna get on her wig presentation.

-MJB’s performance was a good way to switch up the song. The end was great….I love when she gets to ackin’ a fool!

-I usually get tired of Christina Aguilera’s wailing, but I thought she did a great job! It was fitting. It was a James Brown tribute, after all..and he wasn’t exactly known for having a soft voice. Best performance of the night.

-I would really like to see Shakira vs. Beyonce in an ass-shake-off.

-Did anyone notice J.Hud’s lopsided breast when she presented? Luv her, but she needs to watch out for that. It’ll get you every time.

beyonce is DONE! she cannot believe they didn’t think she was important enough to be shown getting her award so she left…tiss tiss, I don’t think she should have won…YOU GO MARY J…..Christina sang the hell out of that song….beyonce is over……YEAH!

i really think mary deserved to win. i didn’t realize that she never won a grammy. but that album was great.
congrats mary. you looked good!!!

#291 Many critics say that Christina is on Whitney;s and Mariah Level for OUR generation ( I said for myself personally that she may not be as good.

Chris Brown’s performance was phenomenal. That brother’s dancing ability is only exceeded by his athleticism. To be able to do that level of gymanstics at 6′2″ or however tall the brother is takes an incredible amount of coordination. I just hope that as much as the Most High has blessed the brother that his family helps him to steer clear of all those dark forces so he doesn’t end up like that brother Houston.

I didn’t watch much of the show but I enjoyed how Ludacris addressed his enemies, lol. He let them know that he could flip all the negativity that they levied at him. The way that he addressed them was far more respectful than the way Oprah treated him on her show (like he was beneath her). I think some people think that Oprah is above reproach because they see her as a god. I also liked how he noticed the correlation between his changed hairstyle and the new acclaim and awards that he’s receiving. Brother seems very bright.

DAMN STOP HATING ON BEYONCE…SHE LOOKED REALLY PRETTY AND SHE SOUNDED GREAT. LEAVE HER ALONE DAMN!
