I actually like JD with the grown man beard he looks his age and more…distinguished.
Journee looks timeless I love it.
What is different about Keisha Knight-pullam i can’t put my finger on it but something is different.
Wendy Raquel-Robinson is sooo beautiful.
I love that shot of Angela Basset and Ruby Dee That’s classic.
Cordin bleu should always always here his curly afro OUT not pulled back I didn;t even know WHO he was
And evan evan evan SMH why the skinny dress pants?!?! Or are those just black skinnty jeans? Oh lord what is wrong with this boy!
Yall know what I just think Golden takes horrible pictures I really do. Some people are just not Photogenic and she is definitely one of them. In live motion she looks fine but in pics she looks a HAM. But those shoes really mess up the oufit too. You almost had it girl!
I don’t know what it is about Taraji Henson but I think she is a great actress and her beauty is slept on. She’s just different. She is a pretty girl her look is just exotic.
And who in the world is Kalilah allen harris? Is that one of Debbie allen’s kids or something. She needs to learn how to pose because clearly she has a beautiful dress and her fit is together accessories and all but that pose is killin it in a every bad way. She looks like an anorexic mannequin posing like that.

Ya Ya has lost too much weight!
Golden Brooks is the most least photgenic person that I know! Her pics are always awful. She looks just fine on Girlfriends.
Eva’s hair looks cute. I wouldnt rock that, but its cute on her. Her and Lance make an awesome couple.
I loved the Great Debaters. So glad that they are winning awards for that movie. Denzel is classic. Love him and the whole entire cast of that movie!
Robin Givens dress doesnt fit the occasion. She looks like shes going to a ball or something, and those shoes look hella cheap!
Janet looks nice, but Jermaine…………. no comment……….
Sanaa is just a natural beauty, her dress is bangin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tracee is so chic and stunning! Love her style!
Wendy looks stunning!

Roben Givens, Eva, and Kaililah (whatever) all look devastatingly tacky and outta season. Huge disappointment.

I know that’s right # 34! Janet’s was so cute.
LUVVSS Tracee’s outfit. LUVS it. She’s my fashion icon.
Journee is very classy. I like that. I was so shocked by her win last night, I thought Jill Scott was going to take that for sure. But Congrats b/c she’s amazing too.
Tia’s dress is pretty, but I think it’s too light for skin.
Yahya and Wendy look Aamazing!
America lost SOO much weight!
Awesome show last night. Luvss my black people!

EVERRRRRYYYYYYBODY looked nice…….Even Golden, her hair and make-up were on point.
but………………
I am wondering if they are going to have to use a “double wide trailer” for Aretha’s casket, b/c (Almighty bless and forgive me) I don’t see her lasting too long. All that tension and chicken ain’t good for her heart.

Lord, I am the biggest Aretha Fan. I love her music and am awed by her musical genius. Miss Franklin has got to lose weight. She looks uncomfortable and we know this has not to be healthy. I wonder is there any way we can appeal to the Queen to drop about 150 pounds, Find a new stylist (cause those breastasis have to be put away) and then sing us in to obilivion as only she can do….

Keisha Knight is beautiful but she could of looked better.
Kalilah I don’t know who she is, but she wore the wrong dress for her body, n her boney flat chest.
I don’t know whats the HYPE over YaYa but she resembles a TOOTHPICK,
Eva Pigford doing thw Whoopi Goldberg, WTF n I’m glad her man look like he’s stared using Proactive Solution, or good makeup to cover his black spots.
Vanessa Williams looks SPEATACULAR!

I understand coming out to support the NAACP, but when I see folks like Omarosa and Keisha Knight Pulliam, Eva I’m like WHY? Sitting there watching people get their awards, ain’t it a script you should be reading? Maybe this goes more to Keisha and Eva than Omarosa. Maybe they are their to network.

I thought the show was great..the sound kept messing up which pissed me off.
I looooved Janet dress! Her hair & makeup were beautiful too and congrats on her win, she deserved it.
I thought Tichinia deserved to win, but America looked beautiful…loved her dress & hair! She loosing weight.
Journee looked amazing, her dress, hair, makeup all georgous! -Best dressed of the night to me.
Denzel looks hot with that bald head…his wife’s hair on the other hand….
I thought Tammy Franklin looked beautiful.
I looooved the Stevie Wonder Tribute that Wayne Brady did with the audience members…especially when the Judge sang, that was hot!
Tyler Perry looked very handsome last night.

@ #7….
The style is cute, the idea, love it……… The style on Eva with her straight hair brushed over that kinky weave, a disaster. The should’ve straw set her natural hair in the front, and tried to tease it out some for that kinky look……… That straight mess over that kinky hair is a NO NO……..
You’d get straight talked about wearing that mess.

If y’all didn’t know, Sanaa Lathan was happy to see that day. I walked behind the camera man, and then BOOM, Nipplegate.
Everybody looked dashing out there. Shout out to the Ugly Betty chick. Show some diversity.
Great Show NAACP, I was able to watch DL Hugley look lost at the end of the show when Stevie was performing. Hilarity!!!
Get at me people

ok here’s the synopsis…jermaine dupri looks like a weird scientist. denzel looks great with the bald head. tracee ellis ross…stunnning. eva better have her a chocolate man. taraji looks like she’s doing a commercial selling pink purses. keyshia knight pulliam…pretty but she needs to look in the mirror and work on her poses. aretha and robin…why the white?!?! finally khalilah…she must didn’t look at herself before she left that dress, those shoes, and her posing like that is an awful combo. but in all in all everyone looks great and definitely represented us well.

I know Arethea is the Queen of Soul and all, but she has no fashion sense, taste, or anything for that matter. Somebody needs to tell her to stop wearing spaghetti strap dresses and dresses with all her junk hanging out. Her breast look like a dimply ass on her chest. She needs an intervention ASAP!! That wig is a mess as well.
Everyone else looks good.
I’m loving America Ferrera. I miss Ugly Betty I hope it comes back since the writers strike is over.

@49 Eva need to learn how to act before she can read a script hahaha
Anyway, her hair is a walking disaster, Meagan up for Stomp the Yard? Gimme a break. That movie wasn’t in season and its old as hell but she looks great though. How the hell did Lance Gross or House of Payne get an award? How the hell did it beat Ugly Betty or Girlfriends? Does anybody even watch that shitload of bull? Angela Bassett and Janet Damta Jackson was FLAWLESS! And Yaya looked amazing. Hopefully that orange was the bottom lining of her dress or something. If not we need to talk. She did great in Honeydripper which was nominated. Taraji looked really good which aint often for her and the wonderful Vanessa Williams, need I say more.

Sanaa looks like she’s on something. I thought there was something odd about her behavior last night.

Tracey Ellis is the BOMB!! She knows how to dress. I actually think Robin Givens looks nice too.
I loved Aretha’s speech last night,but that dress was not the business nor was the wig.

I thought America looked bitter when she didn’t win an award last night(not sure which one). Anyway,I think either Tyler Perry won the award or someone from the cast. She looked shocked that it was her/show.

Apart from a few people everyone looks really nice. I like a lot of the dresses, especially tia mowray’s. Ruby Dee looks great for her age. I hope Aretha is getting help with her weight, its sad to see her looking so unhealthy.
