The show was dry until Mary and AKeys performed. Alicias performance was hot as hell. I was speed dialing my girls by the time Beenie came out. Big up to Alicia. Loved it!!!! And Alicia was whining(sp)? her ass off!!

I didn’t see the show…opted out this year, but I must say that Beyonce’s outfit (with the leather jacket) is hot. I LOVE those shoes! And congrats to her on the artist of the year award. Haters will say she don’t deserve it, but we all know she does.

Damn, I missed it.
But DAMN ole girl Beyonce looks AMAZING. Dressed up & dressed down. (The outfit with the jeans & all the colors is FLY)
Mary looks BANGING in her performance outfit.
Alicia’s red carpet dress is so pretty.
Solange’s dress looks like an expensive burlap sack. NOT HOT.
Ashant’s dress looks like a pissed on wedding dress. Not cute.
Monique Coleman looks all wrong…like a middle schooler doing her makeup, hair & picking her outfit for the 1st time out.
Rihanna’s outfit is too much for me. But her hair & makeup is on point.

Ashanti looked very classy and beautiful!
Love love loved Alicia’s performance! How can you not love her?!
MJB, don’t like the song but i loved her performance and the energy she gave! looked like she was having a good time!
Rihanna sounded better than normal. Was not feelin the S-curl over the eye.
Loved Daughtery’s performance of Home, such a beautiful song.
Jimmy Kimmel is hilarious, especially with him trying to Crank Dat Soulja Boy

For those of you who didn’t see it … You didn’t miss much. The only thing that was actually good was the Alicia Keys performance. I’m not a fan of reggae but the crowd was loving it. My only problem with her … She wears WAY too much makeup ALL the time.
Beyonce - Meh … that country version of Irreplaceable was excrutiating to listen to and even worse to watch as Beyonce tried to oversing the woman who was supposed to be singing it.
Mary J was amazing as usual.
Jimmy Kimmel being drunk was pretty funny.
Those are about the only things worth mentioning.

BEAUTY Q.T.
Monday, November 19, 2007 /
Beyonce looked beautiful! I LOVE the rainbow shoes that she has on! And why was Usher acting soo nervous when he presented the award to Bey? Probably didn’t want Tameka to whoop his ass afterwards…lol
Mary and Alicia can’t dance! IMO..both performances were weak.
Rhianna looked beautiful!
Akon looked old as hell!

The show sucked.
But as far as the performances, Nicole Scwmeherhgher, please try modeling and leave the singing ALONE. Bitch can’t sing for shit. Just an embarrasment. It’s sad that if you have a cute face and nice body, then your entitled to a record deal. SAD.
Bee killed it as usual and looked BEAUTIFUL. She is such a bad bitch. Woo lawd.
Alicia’s performance was nice, I was so surprised to see her actually dancing. I guess she’s trying to spice up her perfomances a bit and try something new instead of hiding behind that damn piano all the time. LOL She’s still my girl though.
I like Ne-Yo and Rihanna’s performance as well.
Chris Brown…blah..his performance to me was nothing special. He didn’t “WOW” me.
As far as outfits go…
I’m not feeling Alicia’s outfit nor Rihanna’s. Solange looked a hot mess.
Ashanti looked really pretty.
Everyone else..Blah….

Congrats to Beyonce!
Me and my friend was praying that Alicia Keys wouldn’t mess up on her dance routine, but she did pretty good.
Rihanna sounded good… I was surprised by how good she did.
Of course, Chris Brown gave a perfomance.
Mary J. and Queen La did well also.
Fergie was okay but I love her album anyways.
Will.i.am’s dancing was whack, but he made me laugh nonethless.
Maroon 5… gotta love them.
The country “Irreplaceable” was interesting but I enjoyed it.
Overall, it was a good show.

Marys peformancce was great also. She was on stage all by herself singing like she was at home listening to her favorite jam. She was hype from start to finish. No homo, (lol I never thought I would say that) but did anybody else notice the booty on Mary ? She was too sexy.

Did Rhianna thin she was Whitney or somebody with the full orchestra and diva attire; but don’t hate cuz she brought the vocals; if you’ve ever seen her interpretation of Hero, last nite was a GINORMOUS step up!!
Did anyone see Beyonce walk away from the podium w/ Usher, sache, and swing her hair around for no good reason at all; I swear that girl is touched, but she looks splendiferous.

“Will.i.am’s dancing was whack, but he made me laugh nonethless.”
He cracked me up too!!! I cant even hate on him. He reminded me of when my grandfather tried o break it down when we were little. He couldnt dance but you couldnt tell him shit. Making up moves and looking serious as hell. lol (sigh)Goooood times.

BEYONCEEEEE!!!! I love that chick!!!, she’s amazing, she was about to cry. Congrats! The hottest chick in the game, hands down!!!
I liked Mary’s performance!
A.Keys was okay, but she didn’t really sing she danced most of the time.
Rihanna did a good performance for a change i didnt turn the channel, although her dress and makeup were a hot mess.
Ashanti always has beautiful dresses. She’s simply stunning.

@27, I know that’s right.
Beyonce- Girl killed the competition last night. Only she could pull off those shoes, which is why she’s a STYLE STAR!
I am so proud of her for winning that award, congratulations and continue to hairflip on the haters.
Alicia- My girl done it again. She was singing great and had the audience pumped. She wasn’t all that with the dancing, but at least she tried. I LOVED the reggae version. Love her album and go cop it if you haven’t already.
Nicole- Go back to your singing classes, sweetie.
Solange- Looked a mess.
Bone Thugs and Harmony- Congratulations, way overdue!
Overall, it was alright. I also liked the Soulja Boy skit and Lyfe Jennings was looking good.

I’m still tired of Beyonce, but I like her funky shoes in the lather jacker pic. I would sport them out on the town. I had to say this but Ashanti and her mom just look odd, they look more like best friends than mother and daughter. I don’t want a best friend I want a mother. A mother can only tell me when Im doing something wrong or if I need to do this or that, a friend in hollywierd will tell me whatever I want to hear in order to make happy. With that said, get back to being Ashanti’ mom cause her career choices lately are very eff up! From that song with Nelly swith oooohhhmmmy goooddd! and the other single hey baby uhhhhhh terrible. Get get the ball rollin. WIth that said I like Ashanti dress, far away the white cloth in her mama hand looks like the back of Ashanit dress, thanks heavens it wasn’t.

Beyonce’s rocking them BALENCIAGA shoes like nobody’s business. And as for that gold fishtail dress….it fit her ass (literally, her ASS) like a glove. I ain’t mad at her. SPANX just working overtime! But the real deal was the blue eyeshadow that matched the detailing on her dress. That’s a bad bitch.
Best thing of the night was Alicia shaking her shimmy.
And am i the only one that noticed RIHANNA ACTUALLY SANG ON KEY?! For once in her life, she sounded GOOD live. No joke, i was shocked as hell.

Mary J. and Alicia rocked it.

Congrats to Bey for winning International Artist Award.

Why does it look like Solange is rocking the leftovers to Bey’s dress? Lol, it’s true
I thought that High School Musical Chick was Tocarra from afar. I hope she’s not pregnant.
And am I the only one noticing that Ciara is not getting any love at any of the award shows. I mean can someone tell me if she was nominated at least?

Bey’s shoes are FIERCE!!!! She looked very pretty last night.
Nicole S.’s hair & makeup were fabulous! She looked georgeous!
Alicia hands down, best performance and her hair, make up & outfit was fire! She looked cute dancing!
It was funny as hell when that dude from the Jonas Brothers fell! lol! At least he tried to play it off though!
Mary J. looked fierce on the Red Carpet. Her hair & Make up was on point.
Rhiana looked pretty, but her red carpet dress was hideous, she might as well been topless ( the fellas wouldn’t of minded though! LOL) I love her hair in those soft curls.
I think the best performance on the AMA’s ever is still hands down when Whitney Houston sang the 3 songs. One was from Porgy & Bess, the she sang And I Am Telling You, then I Have nothing. Hands down greates perfomance in AMA history Ever in my book.

I loved AK’s performance and Lenny Kravitz. Beyonce’s Irreplacable actually sounds really good put to country music. I kept thinking, “please don’t fall” when Chris Brown danced upside-down, during his performance. Rihanna seemed a little off last night…

My future wife won the biggest award of the night with her sexy ass! Just like Jigga she can now retire b/c she is officially a legend. She’s been honored TWICE and she ain’t even 30 yet! Damn ma how did she accomplish so much in only 10 years? Did anyone catch all the things she’s done when they honored her with that award? And I like how Usher said that there is only ONE Beyonce. LOL I think that was directed at Rihanna. LOL J/K But yeah Congrats to Beyonce.
Oh and her ass is the business! Hottest chick in da game hands down. Jay has got to be the luckiest nigga on earth.

Ne’ (and others who are curious about Beyonce’s shoes)
Beyonce’s shoes are Balenciaga…they also come in black, white and gray. They’ve been out for a minute - I’m glad she wore them. I’m a fashion nut. I’ve only seen them on the runway.

Monday, November 19, 2007 /
in my honest opinion, not tryna hate or nething, but i really didnt understand how or why beyonce was the first female to win that award. i can recall many other female artists who proceeded her in the bizz who should gotten it before her. i mean, yes she has accomplished A LOT and is great at what she does…my point is just that there were others who were deserving as well.
the pics are great tho, everyone was looking really nice. the performances were good too. esp alicia keys and chris brown!

i saw this last night and Alicis Keys rocked it! Me and my roomate were hooping and hollering like we were there (LOL)
but the white folks in the audience were looking like “see this is why we have dress rehearsals so things like this dont happen” lol it was straight though
Beyonce was wearing the heck out of that gold dress but I just dont know if I would have sat next to my daddy wearing that very low cut dress with all her boobs hanging out.
Also i wasnt feeling that contry version of “Irreplaceable”( ithink i spelled that wrong, oh well)
Oh yeah and chris brown dancing sequence was fire, however i dont think he should lipsing at the AMA’s

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! You Rihanna stans have lost your damn mind!
Her vocals on that performance were terrible! The only good note she hit was around the end of the song. Her singing is just as bad as her boyfriends Ne-Yo and Chris Brown.

Rihalien is Fugly!
Monday, November 19, 2007 /
Congrats Bey!!! REAL talent wins in the end as usual. My gurl Alicia killed it too. She rocked the house. Beyonce is lead singer of the best selling female group of all time and now she is the first female to win the International Artist award that only legends receive. Damn she is right she can retire at 30. She’s already a legend so there’s nothing left for her to do. Oh and she is killing it in that gold dress!
Alicia and Beyonce did their thang last night. I just wish they would hurry up and collaborate and show their wannabes how it’s suppose to be done.
As usual Rihalien looks a hott mess and she sounded even worse than she looked. I’m so glad Beyonce was honored with that award and that Alicia had the best performance b/c that just goes to show that it takes REAL talent like Beyonce and Alicia to truly make it and become legends. Again Congrats to Bey and Alicia did her thang too! Show em how it’s done ladies!

Ok, the show was boring ass hell last night with the exception of Mary J., Beyonce, and Rihanna she sound really good while signing umbrella…Alicia Keys did a great jobs she looks like she lost some weight and that was the first time I ever saw her dance (I didn’t know she could dance) but I’m not in to the whole reggae thing. It’s weird but she seemed ober straight to me all of a sutton (too much tanning spray though) and it made the mystery that surrounds her fade for me. I think Beyonce beauty show more beauty because Jayz wasn’t on her arm and her thing with Sugarland was so funny but it sound really good. As for the rest of the show boring and Fergie, William, and Nicole S sucked ass I turned to the simpson. jmo

She didn’t win a Lifetime Achievement Award people. She won an International Artist of the Year for Excellence. They are not the same thing.
Dont discredit and dont hate. Not a good look

I listen to country from time to time, but that performance with Sugarland was not good. I just was sitting there quiet, flipping back and forth waiting for it to end.
*The lead singer was feeling it, lol. I died when she said “Keeeep talkin thart mers thats firne….”

I was on the road, so I missed the show, but I will catch all the performances on youtube. I watched Beyonce’s already, and she did fine. She holds her own on the stage with any one in any genre. She seemed genuinely humble and gracious in receiving that award. Girlfriend gets a lot of flack on the net, but no one can ever say she doesn’t work hard for her money. She has the respect and adoration of her industry peers, and the big wigs, and I think she’s solidified her status as a legend 25 years from now. I loved the dress and her makeup, and that performance outfit was BAD!!! She killed those shoes!
Rihanna was a disappointment. She’s usually the baddest on the red carpet, but this de-constructed frock just doesn’t cut it for me. Not really feeling the hair either, but her makeup is nice. Her hair looked like a lop-sided wig!
Solange was another no go for me. Everything about her look, with the exception of the shoes is too poofy!
I can’t wait to check out Alicia’s performance. I am really loving her these days!
