50TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS – ARRIVALS

WTF???????

Loved the show… Alicia performance was good as was Carrie Underwood, Rhianna, Tina still doing her thang. Kanye was good but Amy should not dance.

okay Why do Nas and Kelis have those shirts on were they making a statement. How ignorant I can be. During black history month we should celebrate our people not bring them down with such an ugly word. They have took it to a whole new level and for that I now have no respect for them.

Beyonce looked lovely, her hair looked like MIA tho. Rihanna was great as was Alicia. Everyone else is eh..

They all look OK. Nothing spectacular.

@ Teri all Nas and Kelis et al were doing was shameless promotion. For that alone they should be vilified.

I see Nas and Kelis were trying their hardest to get some attention. They look ridiculous I’m embarrased for them. None of the ladies impressed me on the carpet except for lil mama. It’s not that she looks stunning but this is definately a HUGH improvement for her.

wow..beyonce looks like a barbie..

Kerry and Alicia look Happy
Beyonce- Dont like the dress
Dro and Tasia look good
Solo= always seem like she trys to dress different but she comes off as tacky..
Dania Kelis and Guest= Promotion at its best.. support ur husband
Rhianna and Keyshia- love your dresses
Musiq Raheem and Dwele- my fav neo men love the music but lose the shades
Jimmy J and Wife– always classy
John L — dont like him personally but i like the music

Oh yeah Alicia, Bey and Tina, and Kerry Underwood had the best performances.

Fannie is losin it !!!!!!!

Just about all of the men look good.

*tries = my bad

LIL’ MAMA NEEDS TO PRACTICE HER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS.

the show was horrible, no one could sing. I thought Tina and beyonce would still the show but that was a mess and very disappointing…I mean its Tina, I thought she would have been he star of the show. Sadly, the music sucks and I was hoping that they would have paid tribute to alot of African-American artist since it is Black History month but you know how that goes. To sum it up the grammys was horrible and EVERYONE looks a mess.

Did ANYONE bother to glance into a mirror before they headed out the door? The ladies all look a mess and the men are not far behind…

I have come to the conclusion that the Grammy’s will never be good. They were so effing boring this year.

Kanye and his glo in the dark glasses were off the muthafuggin chain!!! Loved his performance – and Amy Winehouse’s performance was triumphant considering that she was a bleached crackwhore less than a month ago. Even though it was a cracked out performance still, you have to admit she looked and sounded waaaaaaaaaay better than she has in the past. And “shout to my Blakey incarcerated” was CLAS-SIC!! Beyonce and Tina were OK, but the rest of the program was either boring or straight garbage.

beyonce has on a ugly prom dress..and her hair looks a mess..i guess she was tryin a tina hair style…lil mama big improvement..

Nas and Kelis- Support your man girl, I dont think the Grammy’s was the best place for that attire but whatever

Bey looks nice, I like her hair

Solonage- the dress is not cute at all. I really like Solange but she needs a new stylist

Rhi- looks nice as usual, I love the loud nail polish

Keyshia- I almost did not recognize her with the black hair, she looks cute

Tocorra-looks ok

Alicia-dress is pretty but the hair is a mess girl

Fantasia-She looks nice, the hair is just ghetto girl, Dro looks nice too

Erica -beautiful dress and hair

Corrine- the dress is not cute girl

As far as the red carpet, everyone looked terrible- and Keyshia Cole looked the ugly awkward girl at the jr high dance.

Tasia and Dro look great.

Rhianna looks very pretty. Blue was a good colour to go for.

Beyonce looks horrible. I expected better.

Erica looks very ladylike.

Neyo looks fat.

WTH? Did Chris think he was going to prom. Lookin like a damn starwberry cheesecake mess. SMH

Everybody looks good. But Kelis n Nas, I do like them minus the jacket n the tshirt.

Alicia Keys ALWAYS looks gorgeous

I don’t even like Beyonce and I think that was the best she ever looked, she didn’t overdue it with weave and the color was just right……GO BEY! lol

Chris Brown with that loud ass suit, I saw him in the audience numerous of times but he’s still a lil’ cutie

Rihanna………..I usually give her props but chic did not do it this time around lol

boring award show this year except 4 kanye alicia and amy winehouse .i think they could of done betta on the red carpet cause last year was way betta. i was expectin for whitney to come out wit a suprise performance and wat happened to the micheal jackson tribute. i was hopin he com out suprisin us cause its the 25th aniversary of thriller he would of def saved the show. i guess we gotta wait for these ppl next yr . cant wait for there albums as well as usher and mariah. would u guys hurry . anywayz awards shows will neva be the same durin the era of thriller to the 90s thatz when i stayed glued to the tv .i miss those dayz when there was real fuckin music and they gave awards to tru talented artist instead non singin ppl. mz honesty is out and ova

Why was Beyonce lip-synching the intro where she was supposed to be talking? And whoever designed her outfits drowned them in rhinestones, and the end result, a glittering hot mess. And she bumped Tina towards the end of the performance. She should have stayed off the stage after the intro. Tina was incredible, for a 69 year old senior citizen.

Like Bey’s at this length,the dress umm not so much
Jay looks very dapper
I’ve been a fan of Nas since 94,but this just rubs me the wrong way
I applaud Chrisette, for rocking the short cut she looks pretty to me with weave or not.
I thought they Grammy’s were good, maybe cause i haven’t watched them since 98
Kanye imo best performance of the night i shed some tears.

I like Kelis and Nas. They’re so down for each other. Haven’t heard the album, so I don’t know what the siginificance or justification of wearing the “N” word stems from. I’ll reserve judgment until I know where he is going with that statement.

Rihanna never disappoints. She was on point head to toe. She’s perfectly coifed, styled and dressed. That’s not my fave Rih ensemble, but she is still effortlessly luminous. Blue looks radiant on us yella bones.

Except when the blue is part of a glittery, tulle nightmare-which is what Beyonce is in that tacky prom dress. Not even her gorgeaous face could save that mess. I’m feeling the hair, but it’s just too much with that dress. If you have busy hair, you need to wear a more simple, elegant dress.

Alicia, my hero, is elegant and beaufitul and boring. She sold her glowing good looks a bit short with that psuedo-drab number. She looks really nice, but she’s missing that extra “hottie” factor in those photos.

Lil Mama’s come up. She looks good there. Really.

rihanna looked a mess and her performance was wack and so boring

beyonce looks a mess

kelis looks cute

chris brown is ugly

snoop dogg dont look right. somethings off

LOL @ Snoop.

John Legend and girlfriend look good, JL is always on point and they complement each other.

Tanks’s shoes are dope.

Neyo’s suit is nice.

Luda is always looking polished too.

I like Musiq’s ensemble too.

I wish Dwele could have won, he’s a great talent. I listen to his Some Kinda album all the time. And he did an awesome rendition of that Earth, Wind & Fire song he was nominated for.

Valerie and Nick were right when they sang “Solid”, they have been solid as a rock for a while.

Corrine is really pretty. So is Alicia Keys, she looks ravishing.

Who is Tanika Ray? I thought it was a slimmed down Chaka Khan.

Okay I must admit Rihanna looks pretty in that blue dress and haircut above, but come on her performance was just so CRAPPP – she sung so horrible and all she was doing was swinging her head around, this girl is poor at doing live performances because this isnt the first time, that girl is just lucky she has the looks and beauty…

I LOVED Alicia Keys performance, Im glad she got her 2 Grammys, and she looked great..

Fantasia looks like a man-ley to me I dunno why….its probs cuz of that awful skunk hairstyle…but she a great singer..

Beyonce and Tina rocked it…Beyonce would of looked better with the darker hair and that dress, but she still looks fabulous…

Chris Brown look like hes in the 80′s with that white and red suit…YUCK

OMG I didnt know Amy W sounded THAT common…its just sick haha! I dont even speak like that and Im from London haha!

You know what guys Im not even this negative usually LOLL

AND I forgot to add Neyo looks too gay in that pic above…Im not hating cuz hes a great songwriter and congrats on his grammy but for a man he shouldnt pout lol…

Why is #16 and 17 hating? Haters nigg’z have hater kids…

The Grammys was alright nothin special Kanye, Amy and Rhianna did the damn thing, Beyonce bored the hell out of me Tina was workin it but again nothin special.

damn still hurtin from fanny performance. I was sittin next ta my mama and almost slapped her! I don’t care if she paint her ass green and shave her head girl sang da shit outa me! last night no lie fell asleep borin but love tina!

Rihanna looked great, and her singing, well she sounded like she does on her CD, no big deal lmao she looks refreshing though with her short hair and flawless skin. Dro and Tasia look great, and Alicia Keyes look great, and Amy tore it up but her dancing omg made me nervous is was like she was trying to wiggle something out of her butt, but her acceptance speech, so hood LMAO. AND KANYE BASICALLY KILLED IT!!! I’m mad they tried to cut the music on it. KANYE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT….everything is was lame.

and Fergie singing? TV went on MUTE!

damn mad typos lmao

Nas and Kelis – wooow! This is really disgraceful. I thought Nas would eventually come to his senses and not name his album this. This is just to cause controversy so people can buy his album. Very Sad NAS! Very Sad.

The show left a lot to be desired –
Most of the brothers, esp. Luda, Tank, Jay Z and Young Dro looked very nice.
Many of the sisters represented well.

Nas and Kelis I am sure were attempting to make a statement, but they must know, or will know soon, most of the grammy audience don’t know them or anything about their music or the controversy over the album title, so they made a statement, just not the one they wanted to.

Amy, Amy, Amy. She still looks around like a lost tourist, but it just felt so damn good to see her up there sober and talking like she makes sense. Her voice was a off, but she can work on that again. Congrats to her.

Nas and Kelis…SIT UR ASSES DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

here’s a rundown of how i thought everyone looked…

Alicia Keys and Chrisette Michelle – a breath of fresh air. Looked flawless!!
Beyonce – at least she wasn’t wearing gold so deserves some applause…could have done better – no doubt…
Rihanna….the dress…..was not a fan and those nails…..did not work for me…take everything off and leave the jewellery and shoes…get a different dress and new nails…
Solange – needs a stylist….can’t get it quite right
Coline bailley rae – don’t like the shoes….dress is too much plastic
Keyshia Cole – Loved the dress and the hair…didn’t like the shoes..could have tried some pumps
Fantasia – the dress is too big- change the hair too
the Fellas….
Neyo and Musiq Soulchild – stole the show…were looking fly
Chris Brown…we all know him by now
Ludacris + Tank – were looking sharp as always
Seal – pulled it off…

Verdict:
there wasn’t anyone who stood out and don’t know what happened this year but quite dissapointing….those that looked average came out looking the best….
Hope that it will be better next year.

The show was aight I guess. BUT I didn’t like how Rihanna dragged Jay-Z on stage with her, and Jay-Z was being too much of a flirt.NE WAYS..
Beyonce- looked Beutiful but that hair..c’mon Bee
Rihanna- I do NOT like her dress..YUCK and she sang horribly last night
Chris Brown- He looks so cute and fresh.
Solange- Her dresses are always WAY too short.
Keyshia Cole- She’s is just way to confused on her hair, and She should of won a Grammy.
Lil Mama- That dress WTF?
Usher- He looked cute there, with his Barbarian wife.
Jay-Z- He looks WAY confused..but I still love him.
NAS & KELIS – HIGHLY UNNECESSARY!

Amy deserved all her wins. Her album was the best r and b album last year.

I have lost all respect for Kelis and Nas. With us being in Black history and Obama’s blazing trail his execs should tell him to stop as they have no commone sense. Idiots!!!

Beyonce. That girl gets prettier and prettier every time i see her. Last night she was blazing and flawless.

I like rihanna but the performance eh.. Overall a waste of time

You people dissin my nigga Nas are hypocrites what’s the difference between him saying the word on his album as opposed to name it as the title. btw Pac had an album called ”strickly For My N.IG.G.A.Z.” and nobody said shit, so leave Nas alone, y’all hatas say nigga all the time, Esco his only tryna show how ignorant the word is.

Alicia, Beyonce, Tina, and that whole Gospel Sesion were the best performances, I was only waiting for Beyonce and Tine though.

out of the pieces of the grammys I saw…I like the lil opening Beyonce did for Tina…after that I just wanted to see Tina and wanted Beyonce to stay off stage…I actually like the hair on Beyonce but I wasn’t feeling the dress. Alicia keys was great in both performances…I really loved that one with Frank Sinatra…and “no one”…seems like she always find a different to sing it which shows her versatility….She looked very sophisticated in her dress…umm Rihanna’s performance was ok…she looked nice though. Chrisette looked beautiful…Kelis and them with those silly shirts need to get a life…that album won’t seel in any store because they have already went againsta….stop trying to force that word…You didn’t make any statement besides your foolishness and disrespect to the celebration of our month.

i was dissapointed wiff bey and tina i expected more that was boring a lot of ass shaking the norm lololol ……prince looking more like a biatch…… rhi rhi did her thang tho and kanye did his thats it ery body else was aaight…. oh oh amy im glad for her

I love Rhi’s and Alicia’s outfit, they are the best dressed to me.

I’m not feelin Chris Brown, Solange and Beyonce’s outfit at all…….

I think Amy gave the best performance, with the dance and all, she killed it, haha. Rehab is one of my favorite songs of 2007 and Don’t stop the music is killin it right now for me, so I enjoyed Rihanna’s performance second best, she sounded great!!! I definitely think she can sing, she has a different voice and is different from the rest and I love it !!!!!!

Jay indeed looks confused…..it’s funny

The Grammy’s was a a BORING HOT MESS! Complete GARBAGE!…..I hope next yr. we have some real singers performing (Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey)! I am so sick of this bubble gum watered down shit!

I love Amy Winehouse though….She was great and deserved every Grammy she received!! I listen to her album everyday….just the bomb from beginning to the end!

My favorite performances was:
1. Ms Tina Turner N Beyonce ( I mean how can you not Love Tina)
2. Alicia Keys (particulary the duet with Frank
3 Amy Winehoue (Back 2 Black is still my damn album
4. Carrie Underwood

Whether or not u agree wit Nas, i like the fact his girl got his back, ride or die right there, Kelis just earned more respect from me. Jay-z look like he about to retire and perform weekly in Vegas, and Snoop looks like he pimps and plays jazz part-time. I am so happy Soulja boy did not crank shit last night, for that reason it was probably the best Grammy awards in recent years. We got two years left in this decade and its not looking good music-wise. I mean c’mon folk, this is the first decade in a long time that the game really has not been changed. I liked the Rihanna performance wit the Time, that was the only real hot performance. She represented the West Indian community well, so much respect to her for dat. Alicia looked quite right last night, and my girl Beyonce needs to just take a break for a couple years, shit, she should have some babies and chill for a while, and make a good complete album. bEYONCE, GO BUY A hOUSE IN bARBADOS NEXT TO rIHANNA AND MARINATE. jAY U TOO, DAMN.

I’m just not feeling any of the styles.

Keyshia looks awkward standin in the position.

Lil Mama gets an A for effort, but she still missed me though.

I do love Bey’s hair though. Nice to see her without all that flowing heavy looking weave down here back.

I do love the fact that the Grammys turned it up a notch and added a little more soul to the show. Because ya ll know normally its a bore, where if you do watch you re waiting for the Black people to come on. As far as the fashions, hmm….

No one was super spectacular… i still dont understand the reasoning behind Nas’ album title~~

Lil Mama- Yes! finally child

Not diggin anyone at all Beyonce weave looks hideous as normal

Keyshia’s color isnt working glamour+ ghetto= just does not go

I like Fantasia and Young Dro together

And Tocorra sure dropped that baby fat! She looks nice, if she loses anymore she look sick

#50 I AM WITH YOU, BUT I ALSO ENJOYED THE GOSPEL MEDLEY AS WELL AS KANYE PERFORMANCE(DEAR MAMA)

I only have this to say…

Nas. Kelis.

You just lost an admirer and I suspect not I’m not alone. That bullsh*t you just pulled was most certainly unacceptable. How could you do it? Who in your ranks said this would be embraced? I am embarrassed, ashamed and simply perplexed at your utterly poor decision to wear such filth in public– much less at the Grammys broadcast across the world!

Kids, my people, learn from this. The only good that can come out of such idiocy, is that it highlights how the use of this horrible word has reached new lows. Obviously a desperate attempt at gaining attention by two low lifes. It’s now OK to print “N*gger” on T-Shirts and wear them on TV?? People. People. People. Let’s use this as a benchmark where we say, “OK… this ish has gone too far and I refuse to accept it.” Respect yourselves, respect others and love life.

I can only imagine what’s being said about us behind the white walls of power now. Certainly our ancestors who fought and died against the venom behind this word are so very proud… just sad. The irony as we’re on the cusp of electing our first Black president. People stay strong and let’s pull it together. Let this word die. Forever.

What the hell is wrong with NAS and his entourage of attention seekers…SOMEONE PLEASE REMIND ME WHAT HIS POINT IS WITH THE WHOLE N word campaign. I have long accepted that Black Americans will argue that it is there right to use the word..FINE…THAT word has no place on these shores ..HOWEVER..has he not only trivialised and made a mockery of himself and whatever movement he is trying to persuade everyone to jump on with the whole clothing line with the word N***** blazed across it.

It is my opinion that African Americans have bigger issues to deal with rather than debating / arguing or playing intellectual acrobatics over the use of the word. Who is Nas and his cronies try to emancipate… Its not like anyone has berated him for using it in his music… When I saw these pics I not only cringed but felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment….Black History month ( for you guys, ours is in OCtober)..Obama…and it is THIS ISSUE NAS FELT NEEDED AN INTERTNATIONAL PLATFORM…

Once again could somebody clarify….is NAS demanding it be used by all or what… I was talking to my Indian friend yesterday about this issue and my viewpoint is this…I dont refer to myself or anybody around me in this way so why should anybody black or white feel aggrieved if I let them know that I am not cool with them referring to me in this manner….

All that aside….oh I dont even have the energy to comment on dresses and what not!

SIDEBAR about Chris Brown: someone whispered in my ear only GAY men where RED pants!!! ie Prince last night, but we all love him or Omarion on that wack video of him and Bow Wow Gimme a moment ill think of a few more……

Young Dro has suddenly become sexy to me this weekend.
I don’t know what it is, Fantasia must have upgraded him or something because he is looking real good.
They are my favorite new couple

everyone looked bad and that’s sad.
bee in yet another gaudy dress
riri has a weird body shape and this dress doesn’t flatter her at all. like the color of it though
alicia looked boring, pretty and all but boring
smh at nas and kelis. i just hate that word regardless of who uses it
chris brown is NOT cute to me at all

and i love tina! yes the performance wasn’t as great as i hoped it would be but she’s 68, so she gets a pass. when i’m 68 i’m probably going to be in a wheelchair so i’ve got to tip my hat to her. and why was bee lipping the intro? lol and i think the corset under her dress made the dress look a bit weird on her. she should’ve worn another dress or something. riri CANNOT perform. and when she rocked her head from side to side, she looked like a rooster to me. she just can’t pull this hairstyle off, she looks like a boy. you have to have the right proportions like halle berry.

- kelis and nas are so cute.

- ya’ll gonna pretend like you don’t see beyonce’s new nose? THAT’S why she hasn’t been wanting to be photo’d.

- somebody needs to slap that ugly color off the side of fantasia’s head. i guess her and dro are all public now. boooo

- alicia keys looks great.

- i was about to say keyshia cole looked nice until i saw that big stupid tat on her arm. i mean damn.

- i LOVE chrisette’s hair.
