Rhi-Rhis retro print dress looks fab to me. That’s a good look for her to be checkin’ on Chris Breezy.
I’m so proud that Lil Mama is stepping up her style game. You have to start from somewhere.
That Superman curl in front of Steph Jones forehead is bothering me.
Beautiful Black crowd!

NEW YORK IS IN THE BUILDING!!!

Rihanna’s dress makes her stomach look fat.
I see Missy made teh effort to wear something different this time round.
I see Matthew is collecting all Beyonce’s invitations she doesn’t want and giving them to Solange. I am expecting a Solange overload in 2008. She is everywhere already with her wack self.
Sanaa Lathan looks great.

Wow, black is beautiful in every shade. Everyone looks great. I love Alicia’s dress, she looks fantastic! Rhianna’s dress is a bit “Partridge Family” for me, but she pulls it off. I need Whitney to make 2008 a comeback year, she’ll definitely bring the heat. Gladys is gorgeous, just to show black don’t crack . I am giving Lil Mama 2 snaps and a Z formation, b/c this is the second time in as many days I’ve seen her looking good.

Ok So I dont know if Rihanna and Chris brown are actually a couple or not, but in my opinion, Rihanna looks like WAY too much woman for him, he just seem like he would be too damn goofy lol, but he’s still cute though.

Ya’ll know good and well that Rihanna looks a hot mess. That dress is fugly as hell and her fivehead looks bigger than usual with her hair like that. She looks like a 35 year old dude and that’s real talk. Hell it looked like everybody looked a hot mess except for Whitney. They better do better tonight because they was all tripping at this party especially Rihanna she looked the absolute worst. SMH

Hey I just watched the show on msn.com and it was great.. Alicia’s performance was great. I didn’t see Leona’s but I love that song everytime I hear it grows on me. I think she has the makings of a great pop star like Mariah.Like fantasia said if you aint at Clive’s party your not doing it big…

OKAY, I AM A LIL TOO SENSITIVE TODAY, B/C I ALMOST CRIED AT THAT FANTASIA VIDEO. THATS A REAL CHICK AND I AM SO HAPPY FOR HER, I KNOW SHE IS HAVING FUN…

LOL
Sunday, February 10, 2008 /
Wow@Fantasia. You still look like Sisqo, boo.
Alicia and Rihanna…wow, just wow. Eeeeew @ Kerry Brothers…..I know that ain’t the NI@@a she sings about in all those songs!!!!!!!!!
Leona Lewis still looks like a horse to me. Just not attractive.
41.
LOL
Sunday, February 10, 2008 /
Fantasia’s speaking voice is just so annoying. She sounds like Minnie Mouse. If I was her mother or best friend I would be like “Shut up at all times unless you are going to sing it. Sing it..don’t say it”.
Also she said, “Kids who GETS it.” When are we gonna stop with the Ebonics!!!

The only people who really look good to me are Nia and Sanaa. Nia looks flawless.
Rhianna looks just like Nicole Murphy. That dress on Alicia is so unflattering and I don’t like the heavy matte make-up. Whitney looks so rough and dry.
I thought this party was supposed to be the MAJOR event, these performances are all so blah. The Roots jam session was probably the hottest party last night.

Yall can say what you want about Fantasia’s hair but DAMN THAT GIRL CAN SING!
All the black folks in the building looked beautiful
When is Alicia and Crucial getting married and I though Nelly and Ashanti broke up

As far as Fantasias hair, people forget the girl is 22 years old, she’s a young girl still so it makes sence. As far as her skipping out on the color purple performances, I think shes like Kelly Clarckson, shes at the point where she smade enough money to where she doesn’t need to work anymore so shes restless.

@45, She didn’t skip out on the Color Purple. Her contract was done. She was contracted for six months, re-upped for three and the last scheduled show was January 6. And she wasn’t part of the touring cast (with Michelle) and she didn’t miss 50 shows.

RiRi’s dress is awesome! I love vintage attire, and she wears it well. Her make up is even appropriate for the attire…natural tones and lightly applied, as not to take away from the vintage dress. Love it!

@41: I watched the video and Fantasia sounded fine. Yeah, she said, “gets” it, but at least Fantasia can form complete sentences. There is one particular female singer who gets worshipped and can’t speak to save her life.

Super producer Rich Harrison – best known for his work with Beyonce (“Crazy in Love”), Amerie (“1 Thing”), Toni Braxton (“Take This Ring”), The Pussycat Dolls (“I Don’t Need a Man”) - has recently launched the official MySpace profile of his protégé female-quartet who goes by the name of Rich Girl.
In this case, the word “Rich” does not refer to material items, but rather a certain attitude and confidence, combined with individuality and talent that any girl might possess in her own way.
The band consists of members Audra, Seven, Brave, and Lyndriette, who reign from different parts of the country. All have different backgrounds and experiences, but each has the same passion and love for creativity, expression, music and entertainment which has brought them together.

I know Ciara must livid to thinnk that her album got no play from any award shows. Thats probably why she hasnt been attending any of the grammy stuff. I say she is dong the right thing cause if they can even give her a nom then she doesnt need to attend. She should rest, work on her third album and call it a day.

why are so many black ppl so obsessed with the whole “she looks too skinny go eat something” phrase? riri is not anorexic looking. not everyone wants to be heavyset /chubby/”thick” (i put thick in quotes b/c ppl who are indeed chubby keep calling themselves thick and misuse the word) so stop acting like the girl even wants to be that.
anyway i’m not feeling her look. usually i like her stylist’s work but it seems like her stylist doesn’t have a real style. she’s just random nowadays. if riri was a hippie chick or a vintage type chick then i’d understand but to go from glam punk to dominatrix to sophisticated to hippie/vintage in a couple of months is just strange. that’s also why i still don’t believe that this is who she truly is.
sanaa is just beautiful.
lil’ mama FOR THE FIRST TIME looks good. i’m very surprised. she should do this feminine look more often
steph jones is not cute to me sorry
whitney used to be gorgeous but that crack has not been kind to her

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR HUMANITY OR YOUR SOCIETY AT LARGE?
I SEE ALOT OF YALL CHICKS ON CL IS DELUSIONAL
IN CASE YOU REALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE ON WHITNEY’S LEVEL, LET ME INFORM YOU OF WHY YOU ARE NOT AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE
* Whitney has won 23 American Music Awards, more than any other artist or act.

* Whitney won a record eleven Billboard Music Awards at the 1993 ceremony for The Bodyguard.
* Whitney is the only artist with at least one Grammy, Emmy, MTV Video Music Award, MTV Movie Award, People’s Choice Award, and Billboard Music Award to their name.
* Whitney won a record five World Music Awards at the ceremony in 1994, equalled only by Michael Jackson at the 1996 ceremony.
* Whitney is the most covered artist on the TV Show American Idol with over 1,150 of 70,000 auditions being songs of hers during the show’s third season. The song “I Have Nothing” has been performed in the finals 6 times, more than any other song.
* Whitney is the first and only female artist to concurrently top the US, UK, and Australian charts with a single song (”I Will Always Love You”).
* Whitney has the longest concurrent topping of the US, UK, and Australian charts when “I Will Always Love You” spent 9 weeks simultaneously topping the charts.
