GRAMMY ROUND-UP: KANYE’S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH / AWKWARD MOMENT FOR JAY-Z & RIRI / NAS SPEAKS ON HIS ATTIRE
Monday, February 11, 2008
( Screen Cap from Splash News )
IMO, the Grammy’s was pretty wack this year. Aside from performances from Kanye and Alicia Keys, everyone else was lackluster. It was actually a bore. Anyway, this post is about the most talked about moments…
First up, Kanye West. He was pissed at Grammy producers when they tried to cut his acceptance speech short. Producers of the show played music to try to hurry him off stage as he accepted the ‘Best Rap Album of the Year’ Grammy in honor of his mother. “Come on? You’re going to play music on me,” he said as he was on stage. And then as he went to speak on his mother they still had the music playing.
“..And just to say something about my mother. I appreciate all the support, I appreciate all the prayers. It would be in good taste to stop the music then.”
When the background music stopped the crowd cheered as Kanye finished his speech dedicated to his mother, Donda West, who died late last year.
“I appreciate everything. I know you are really proud of me right now and I know you wouldn’t want me to stop. You want me to be the number one artist in the world and mama, all I’m going to do is keep making you proud. We run this.”
AWKWARD MOMENT FOR JAY-Z & RIHANNA

There was an awkward moment for Rihanna and Jay-Z as the pair scooped a Grammy for their collaboration ‘Umbrella.’ Rihanna tried to hold Jay-Z’s hand as the pair walked up to accept their award but Jay-Z quickly shook the singers hand away. Cameras then caught Rihanna throwing her hands up in the air as if to say, ‘What’s wrong?’ The pair then distanced themselves on the stage as they were presented with their trophy. The scenes were made all the more awkward by the fact that Beyonce was watching from just feet away.
Just last week Rihanna squashed rumors that she was romantically linked to the rapper. She told Cosmopolitan that she was horrified at the gossip, but she said she’d managed to ignore the whispers, thanks to Jay-Z. She said: “I felt self-conscious around him until he took me aside and said that I just had to ignore it.”
NAS & KELIS SPORT CONTROVERSIAL ATTIRE
As you probably already noticed from the Grammy - Arrivals post, Nas and Kelis both rock’d clothing items that promoted Nas’ upcoming album entitled, Nigger. He spoke with CNN last night and gave insight on his attire, etc. Kelis is a ride or die chick huh?

If you watch it in real time it wasn’t that awkward at all. She was trying to get him on stage and he shied away for a second. When they got on stage they were joking around and Jay kept coming to the mike “translating” for her jokingly. She jokingly pushed him back so she could finish thanking people. It looked like it was all in good fun and Beyonce was smiling the whole time.

**** Rihanna pulling Jay-z up made sense, but Jay-Z interupting every word in was, dumb on his part… BUT i was shocked by her given him the talk 2 da hand… that sh*t was funny.
****I wish Kanye would’ve wrote his speech before hand, he knew his ass was gunna win… he need a tip or two from Jamie Foxx ! ! !

i ACTUALLY thought the Grammy’s was good this year. Of course “Ye was my favorite performer, I cried like a baby when he did “Hey Mama”…so sad. I would have loved loved loved loved to have seen some “Flashing Lights” though, that would have been a great way to do it. That Rihanna thing is so over thought, I didn’t think it was that serious. I was a little disappointed by the Tina/Beyonce performance though, as old and great Tina is for what she does and still can do. I can tell for the first time last nite that she was a little stiff.

I for one tottaly forgot about the Grammy’s. If it had not been for J.Lewis(mylittle brother) bullentin last night,I still would have been in the dark. But I wish I had seen it.
I would have loved to see Rihanna and Jay-Z’s “”awkward” moment. To judge for myself how weird it may have been.
I did see the her performance on You Tube and Morris Day and The Time-saved her.
Beyonce and Tina were great. Kayne was really good.
Kelis and Nas well what can I say. That’s Bonnie and Clyde for real!

Damn I don’t know what kind of eye spy yall do but I didn’t get all that with the Riri and Jay Z. I didn’t read that far into that. I just seemed like a natural thing. Most of the time you want the person that helped you come and stage and he was in that Jigga swag playing the modest role like “naw this is your first so go ahead and get it”. Then he was helping her up the steps from behind so I didn’t catch the “I can’t hold your had moment”…lol
Nas and Kelis - **SMH**
Kanye is Kanye, his speech and his attitude did not surprise me at all. He did have the best performance of the night though. I can’t even hate. He always does things to have you talking the next day!
Alicia Keys did it big TWICE! Gotta love that!

I thought the Grammy show was pretty good. Everyones performance game was on pint…
Now on the Rhianna Jay z situation was awkward. Miss Jones had alot to say in ref to the incident on her show this morning and made so much sense. Im kind of in between on my thoughts. It looked like she pulled him and when he resisted she continued to puul him onto the stage. Maybe she was just in the moment and was too excited to think about her actions or she was trying to be messy. If it is innocent and they never did anything then it would be cool. But if they ever had anything on the low going on she was out of line and deserved to be slapped in the mouth until her mouht blisters and swells. She basically pulled Bey’s man away from her. Imagine that. Solange kinda looked like Bitch??? wtf???? you dont come pulion my brother n law from MY SISTER!

Nas and Kelis, step and fetch, sit down and shut the back door. Seriously you need to work on making a good album instead of trying to sell records through controversy.
In a time where we are trying to show that being black does not require you to be uneducated, unarticulate and careless you are putting that ish out there.
May God have mercy on your soul for real because you need JESUS.
Funny thing the only people who will be buying that ish are white kids in suburbia, these are the same one’s that I have to convince ever day that the reason that word is offensive is that people died to have that word erased from white lips.
People fought for over 400 hundred years to be seen as apart of the human race and they you go giving them what they want. They want you to reclaim your title. You are one stupid…I will not finish what I started.
But my love for your music is over you hankerchief wearing house negro. MLK and Malcom are rolling in their grave.
the one has spoken.. now NAS shut the uck up!

PEOPLE, PEOPLE I THINK YOU ALL ARE READING TO MUCH INTO THE RIRI & JAY ISSUE. JUST AS DjBigDaddy STATED, IT WAS ALL IN GOOD FUN. JAY DID HESITATE TO ACCOMPANY RIRI TO THE STAGE AND SHE AND BEYONCE ENCOURAGED HIM TO GO UP THERE WITH HER. AS FAR AS THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, ANYONE CAN TELL THAT THEY WERE JOKING AROUND…THEY EVEN HUGGED EACH OTHER AS THEY WERE LEAVING THE STAGE. COME ONE PEOPLE, LET THE DRAMA GO.

Its So funny cuz me and my sister was on the phone last night when that whole Jay Z and Rihanna scene went down and I was like Oh boy I can see the headlines now for tomorrow lol. Anyhoo it was obviously akward because their are so many rumors about them already. and Rihanna being young and excited in the moment didnt even think about “how it would look”
I dont think it was rude for them to turn the music on for Kanye, I mean it was all fine and dandy for him to dedicate his moment to his mom, but before that he was talkin bout some other krazy shit.
As for Nas And Kelis: I guess

BOOM!!! That was the sound of Rihanna and Jay’s working relationship coming to an end lol. That was a silly move on her part. She knows Jay isn’t big on the Grammy’’s (*shoot everyone knows that), she knows he’s not into gossip and rumors. So what does she do? She makes a point to yank him onstage when it’s obvious he doesn’t want to go and him taking his hand back is evidence of that. True he’s on the song with her BUT he was sitting right in the front row, she could’ve easily thanked him from onstage and the camera could’ve paned down and got a shot of him. Great way for her to keep her face on the net and blogs though.

Woah whats the deal with Jay and Ri? Maybe they had a lil disagreement or something prior to the award show…who knows? Ya’ll know their PR will squash all speculation though…
I am soooooooo proud of Kanye…that is one of the reasons I love him. I would have done the exact same thing…’Ye doesn’t play those reindeer games with folks, he keeps it 100% all the time.
I don’t even know what to say about Nas and Kelis…but its not surprising that she will ride for Nas. Kelz has never been a shy or soft chick…

The award was an awkward moment but she didn’t even think to look at Beyonce before snatching Jay up…LMAO @ that part…Solange looked like she wanted to dig in her ass more than Bey did…
Yeezy get ‘em…I laughed my ass off when he was talking to the music person….HILARIOUS

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, that was pretty much the only part of the show that I didn’t see. Dang it.
But, I don’t know; I mean, I think that Rihanna is just a little dopey girl. She probably was just excited and wanted to share the moment with her mentor.
I mean, if it wasn’t for Jay-Z, she would not be here right now. And would have never ever had the opportunity to win a Grammy.
So, I guess, it depends on the type of relationship that he and Beyonce have. If they are secure with theirs, then the little “awkward” moment shouldn’t be a big deal.

I did post a comment on Shaqwana’s profile.She’s one of the host. I had mention to her that it sounded as if they got alot of the “Hot of the Press” with Alfredas from CL and a few other sites.
Anyway thought I would let you know. That CL had a bit of advertisment.

NAS & KELIS - SMH
People will do anything for attention. That was the most inarticulate, incoherent, bullshit I ever heard in my life. The reporter was proboly saying in her head “oh this is a publicity stunt”. I think sometimes these artist spend so much time around other dumb bunnies in the music industry that they begin to believe they are actually intelligent. I love how the reporter didn’t even know who Kelis was…lol. They are really sad. Why didn’t she wear her nigger shirt to those gift lounges this week to take pics with her free stuff? I’m sure the sponsers wouldn’t have liked that. These artist are greedy, self absorbed, psuedo intellectials. The sad part is that some people are stupid enough to follow these fools. SMH
I was going to ignore them behind this foolishness, but this is getting even more and more entertaining. It’s like watching a baby throw a tantrum. Nas is STARVING for attention!

How about…..
Jay Z didn’t want to go up there and let her shine. He has been there and done that. He didnt assume he was going up there just because he was on the track, it was her tune. But because Rhianna is young impressionable girl she wanted him up there for support because she was nervous. No publicist no handlers no one around. Her speech whould how young she was to this thing. It is hard to have a mike and camera in yur face with the world watching. Rhianna is great on red carpets and in concert and structured interviews but the grammys to a girl of that age can be overwelming and a little intimidating.
Why the fuck does it have to be about beyonce and Jay Z and Rhianna in some type of love triangle.
You people (who choose to say nasty things) are so fucking small minded, expand your concept or scope of thinking.

I think they were just cutting up… I’m sure they laughed about the entire thing. I thought Jay and Rihanna were quite funny w/ the walk up and speech. I bet it was all staged to increase chat, b/c that increases SALES!!!
Kanye is arrogant and pompus. I will never support his work, no matter how good. After his mother died, I thought it would humble him a little. Wrong. He took that jab at Common and then to Amy, and tried to use his mother’s death to carry his speech on. C’mon he performed for 10 minutes. Good performance, but too long.. his time was up.
Nas’ attire sums up Kanye’s behavior.

people are readin into that rihanna and jayz situation too much. here is wat i get from it, after the hug, rihrih held his hand to come up wid her cause he was his woman, they were approachin the stairs so he was like ladies first. she went up the steps, and went to the mic and he allowed her to speak. and they hugged at the end.
people today have so many insecurities, there is nuffin goin on wid jayz and rihanna, it is pure clean fun they were havin on stage. he is her mentor, young artists have mentors, like when tommy motorola mentored mariah, clive mentors whitney, alicia, jennifer hud and leona lewis.
solange, always want attention from the time she got pregnant at 17, her father still has not laid his eye on her yet.

I didn’t think there was anything awkward about Rhianna pulling Jay-Z up on stage. For once, I think you guys are just looking too much into it. It seemed very much like a big brother/little sister relationship to me, and I even commented on that to my roommate as soon as it occurred. She threw her hands up because she wanted him to accompany her on stage and he was trying to hang back, but it was obvious from the way they joked around on stage and as they were leaving that there was no ill will. And I’m not a stan of either Rhianna or Beyonce, so this is about as unbiased of an opinion as you’re going to get.

How many ppl took jabs at Kanye that night??? Damn near every presenter and award receiver…What most ppl confuse as being pompus is just Ye demanding his respect. Nobody else got the music played over their speeches….It took Amy Winehouse 5 minutes just to get to the mic…. That was a shot to hip hop and showed the lack of respect that the academy has for the art that is…
Remember if respect isnt given it has to be taken

@NOVA,
EXACTLY. RIHANNA IS 19 AND SHE WAS ACTIN HER AGE, SHE WAS REALLY EXCITED CAUSE SHE GETS HER FIRST GRAMMY AND SHE LOVED THE TRACK.
yes, people want to make it into a love triangle, it was fun on rihrih’s part, cause she lost all the other categories and rap/sung was her only option to get the grammy. and she was excited because of that, and the others in the categories could not have beaten umbrella. i surprised amy won record of the year.

It was kind of awkward in my opinion. I just think Rihanna was hella nervous though. Plus she spoke on the rumors, yet again in COSMO, as stated in the article above. No one was saying they were together, just the moment altogether was a little bit weird.

She know it’s probably the last time that she will be anywhere, accepting anything with Jay. I am with the others. With all the controversy surrounding the rumors, why would she try to grab Jay’s hand with his woman right there. That is a true way for her to funk around & get a true beat down at an after party. I would bet money that Jay probably hit that at least 3 times. She has a teenage body so it probably didn’t take long for him to be done wit it. When you have a woman with ass, hips and thighs, it’s hard to go back to high school. She still has to know that you don’t hold his hands with 60 million people watching..

When talentless hacks like Rhianna can win grammys, that lets you know that that trophy don’t mean shit.
I didn’t look at the show last night, because i knew that the perfomances worth seeing would be on youtube the next day. Kanye as usual was great (i hope he brings the glow in the dark tour to my city), Tina Turner demonstrated what a real performer/legend is..but other that….
The Grammys ain’t nothing but a trumped up Billboard music awards now, anybody with the right the connections can get one.

As for my boy Kanye. I love him, but he knows there is a time limit for speeches. Why does he have to act an ass all the time?!

I was definately not feeling Kanye’s speech at all. Your mom just died and yeah you should be focused on your mom. Say some words about her and say thank yous to whoever you want to thank and be done with it. The part I had a problem with was the whole Common comment. He is sooo arrogant. You won an award and that is the time to thank those who helped you along that journey. Kanye acts like he does nto have anyone to thank cause he did this all himself. Believe someone helped you out along the way whether you believe it is GOd or some other person who is important to your life. I think receviing an award should be a time of gratitude but Kanye is never humble by anything and I think with that kind of attitude something will happen in your life to humble you sooner or later.

It looked more like a big brother/little sister scenario between Jay-Z & Rihanna. No reason for Beyonce to be concerned, and she probably wasn’t. It was good to see the playful side of Jay-Z. People blow things out of proportion all the time.

Beyonce stans, do you honestly believe that Joe Camel doesnt cheat on Beyonce ” miss gooody two shoes ” Knowles?? Like really??
I am not saying there is any truth to the Ri Ri rumors, hell who knows, but please, Jay Z is probably clever enough to pick a discreet chick to be his bit on the side! He probably thinks, damn if Tina Knowles can forgive Papa Knowles, his hooker and coke shame, than Beyonce can forgive my ass too, as long as I continue to give her some street cred!

I was watching the boring awards around the time when Kanye went up to accept his award. I think they started the music because he was trying to to make a saracastic remark about him and 50 release date thing. As
soon as he was like” you know maybe you shouldn’t try and drop and
album the same year as me” thats when the started with the music. The
did the right thing to. I’m like Kanye GROW UP, there is a time and
place for everything. Geesh, lol but for real he is sooo ugh Kanye.
He makes good music though I’m not a hater.

Rihanna needs top cool it down a bit. I think she feels that because the spot light is on her she can do what she wants. She needs to carm down a bit.
I love Kanye man and i am happy that he done what he done and his mother is very proud of him.
Nas and Kelis well i dont really have nothing to say

Oh please. I wish you all would chill out. We all know Jay is shy so of course he is going to resist going on stage with Rhianna. Beyonce never tried to pull him on stage so why would he go with her? C’mon.
Nas and Kelis are the epitome of attention whores. Exploiting the “N” word for attention - there is no excuse for that.They disgust me.
I’m sick of people riding Kanye’s ass. He was being the arrogant butthole that he always is. The music started before he even started talking about his mother….he even addressed it with is normal smart remarks. Then once he started talking about his mom, they music stopped.

For those of you who think they are sleeping together, come on now. That is obviously a big brother/lil sister relationship. The Grammy’s are the biggest awards in Music. Yeah, she’s won some other awards, but this is the biggest of the big. Like the Oscars. Obviously she was nervous. And OBVIOUSLY, he wanted her to go up there to get her shine. And Even more obvious he didn’t want to go up there, because some of you idiots were going to start assuming they holding hands, they FU**ING. Come on now.
You can tell by their body language that there is nothing going on sexual between the two. They move nothing like Be does with Jay, where you can obviously see that they together.
Also, look as they were on the stage. He translating for her, messing with her about her accent, she holding him back when she realized what he was doing. And as they were leaving the stage, you can see her messing with him by shoving him for doing all that. JUST LIKE a Brother /Sister would.
Jeez.

I think that Jay-Z was kind of being weird about the entire situation. Like him and Rihanna had something going on. But I did peep the side eye Solange gave Rihanna as she pulled him away.
Kanye’s acceptance speech at first came off a little cocky, and I quote “I told Common to stop dropping his albums the same year as me. He’s never going go win”. But towards the end he cleaned it up.

Kanye is a little to arrogant for his own good. Nobody owes him anything, including extra time to deliver his little speech. If Kanye has to “demand” respect, you have to wonder whether about that. Real respect doesn’t have to be demanded. One can “command” respect, not just by talent, but by attitude and relationships. He probably would get a lot further if he would humble himself a bit.

Rhianna…Looked very pretty as usual…Loved the hair styles and dresses…I don’t say this about many women but the girl is sexy…Still tired of the “Umbrella” song but her performance was ALOT better than her previous ones…She didn’t look as stiff and looked more comfortable on stage…
Alicia, i liked both of her performances…Especially the one with her and Frank Sinatra…
Kanye’s tribute song to his mother…Almost got me a little teary eyed…I could tell he was trying to hold it together…I’m proud of him, i couldn’t have done it if i was him.
Beyonce and Tina’s performance was ok…I was expecting more…
Carrie Underwood’s performance…I hate to do comparisons but she ain’t my girl Christina Aguillera….Carrie has a more powerful voice than i thought but i would have respected her alot more if she wasn’t lip singing…
THE TIME…OMG…LOL…i was pleasantly suprised….I can’t front, i had to turn the t.v up way loud when they came on and tried to mimick their signature dance…This was by far one of my favorite performances on the night…

Well i’m re-watching it now. I do think Jay was trying to distance himself. Because he knew how that would look. And as u can see my here and other blogs… she should of chilled. I knew she’s young but after all the rumors and what not? I think she likes the attention. But what i did just notice. The next category best record of the year. they did a shot of jay and rih when they were announing the nominees, Jay rolled his eyes when they read umbrella. Well bey was in the same category. I guess it would of been akward if umbrella won and not irreplaceable.

I MEAN JAY IS 38…HE HAS BEYONCE, HE IS NOT A PEDIFILE. HER DAD IS PROBABLY 38. BUT IT WAS CUTE ..I AM SURE SHE MEANT NO DISRESPECT. BEYONCE AINT HARDLY SWEATING HER. IF ANYONE DID NOT NOTICE….BEYONCE IS BEAUTIFUL AND LACKNG IN NO DEPARTMENT. SOLANGE DID GIVE HER THE EVIL EYE…I THOUGHT THAT WAS FUNNY. BUT TRUST ME…IT WAS INNOCENT. I LIKE RIHANNA EVEN MORE NOW THAT I SEE SHE IS JUST A GIGGLY, YOUNG 19 YEAR OLD WHO HAPPENS TO BE GORGEOUS AND TALENTED! cONGRADS TO RIHANNA FOR HER 1ST GRAMMY AND TO BEE FOR THE GREAT PERFORMANCE…AS USUAL!

I almost fell off my bed laughing

It was very awkward w/ Ri Ri, and mostly because of Jay-Z and his big lips. You can tell he either did something that he wasn’t suppose to do w/ Ri Ri in the past or he has feelings for her because he was acting very suspect.
I noticed a lot of sideways glances from Beyonce and Solange. I dont know why Bee is tripping, she knows damn well that Jay is her man and he ain’t going nowhere. She is the best he will ever get!
When men cheat or want to cheat they are always unable to hide it. I mean why wouldn’t he go up there for the award, he was the person she collaborated w/ for the song.

I missed the Grammy’s this year
But it looks like Bey and Tina’s performance was Fierce! I love Bey with the lighter hair.
Usher and Tameka actually look cute together. They look happy and in love, so I wish them all the best!
And Kanye….Kanye Kanye Kanye. God bless you and your mother, but IMO you are a spoiled little brat in more ways then one. I understand that you wanted to give tribute to your mother, but didn’t you do that with your performance???? Why would you expect the Grammy producers to give YOU extra time for your acceptance speech???
It would have been in better “taste” if you would have skipped thanking everyone else and spent the entire time allotted (which obviously isn’t much) to talk about you mother instead of *once again* expecting people to do things the way YOU want them to be done. Those people are not on your payroll so they don’t cater to you, so you shouldn’t expect special treatment.

I think ppl are being a little hard on Kanye. In his defense, if you go back and watch it, he had only been speaking about 30 seconds before they started the music. Other winners got much longer (1.5-2 minutes) to accept their awards. I guess the producers figured they should be glad they are even showing a rap category on the broadcast, even if we only give ya’ll 30 seconds. lol
And, as far as the comment about Common, I thought it was well known that Kanye and Common are cool (Common is on Kanye’s label), so the comment was made in jest, I’m sure Common didn’t take offense to it. They were up for the same award so it was more like “friendly competition.”
I say give him a break, he’s still grieving and healing and he actually seemed a little nervous during his speech. He seemed a little subdued and not nearly as arrogant, so I think the whole thing has humbled him.

That Rihanna and Jay-z moment was one of the best moments of the night and it caught me totally off guard. Solange’s reaction was SO CRAZY (If looks could kill…) but Bee maintained her cool a little. Rihanna was just excited, it was her first Grammy, shes supposed to be! I thought the whole thing was funny and a little awkward but im sure it was all harmless lol

Who ever said Rhianna was talentless is a retard!!!!! She has a very unusal voice that really stands out. She doesn’t sound like anyone else and I think that’s why so many people like her. Unlike so many others, she sounds just like her records when she performs live. Why can’t black people stick together instead of always trying to tear one another down?

LMAO @ this b1tch not knowing her position..
jump on jump off
Now he gotta spend millions to placate Beyonce LOL
My 2nd fave part of the evening was Riyonce singing please stop the music & she forgot the words… but the track didn’t LOL.. BUSTED! That’s on my blog as well
Tina & Bey rocked it! Kanye rocked it!!! Alicia should have rehearsed that opening more. Usher & Tameka looked nice together.. I NEVER EVER THOUGHT I WOULD FORM THOSE WORDS INTO A SENTENCE, but they did. Ashanti looked cute.
And that lil boy trynna clown Kanye when he won an award was uncalled for! Sayin’ I bet you can’t say you rec’d an award from a Beattle? B1tch I betchu can’t say you won FOUR GRAMMY’S IN ONE NIGHT!

I just think Rhianna was happy and wanted to share the moment wuth him, But I did catch Solange’s side eye and it wasnt the time or place. But i dont really think it was more than that, if he pulled away it probally was because she was kinda dragging him up the steps and she practically rammed him when she hugged him. After her acceptance speech, as she turned around she hit him like on his arm and he smiled. If they are messing around or have messed around…then so be it ya know? What can we do? I can see why he’d be atrracted..she’s georgeous and i can see why she’d be atrracted, he a man with alot of clout and power and Jay does have that swagger. Just my opinion.

Rihanna looked great and congrats on the grammy…

their women or vice versa? but beyoncé never hold jay z tight and she always lie about them like she ashame of him
jay z and rihanna have chemistry tho no doubt and i just love the way she didnt even acknoledge beyoncé
like bitch “we’ll never be appart maybe in magazine but he’ll still is my man”
“because in the dark he dont give a damn about he shiny ho ”
“that’s why he need me there with him i ‘ll always share”
and just for everyone info lmao beyoncé cant do shit to rihanna because that skinny lil girl will beat her and her hack retardted looking sista
and if she cant trust me she has back up the last thing you want is mess with an island chick

Rihanna was just excited and wasn’t really thinking about what Jay-Z and Bee were thinking…Jay, Bee and tag along Solonge were thinking about it too deep cause if you saw Solonge’s eyes I swear daggers were shooting out. Jay-Z is grown and he should know that Rihanna is just a teenager excited to win her first Grammy that he was apart of as well…Bee had got that boy whipped!
What was Solonge doing up there with Chris Brown (in a tacky suit by the way) presenting an award?? That girl hasn’t had a hit ever, in movies or in music…that was a mistake
I laughed my ass off when Kanye mouthed off about shutting off the music. Leave it to Kanye to be frank about it but hell his mom died and he was trying to talk, let the man talk, I wonder if Kanye is pissed about Herbie Hancock winning Album Of The Year? Hmm…
Alicia Keys OWNED it last night, I mean the girl performed twice, opened the show and even won a damn award right after she opened the show…mad props!!
Nas is so ignorant, I could care less that he is “trying to make a statement”…he’s getting shock value to get sales in such an ignorant way…be an artist and come up with something more intelligent

i just caught the kanye vid of his speech and i’m starting to dislike him. they should’ve cut the music on him b/c his main thing should’ve been to talk about his mother but instead he wasted most if the allotted speech time, dissing other ppl/putting himself above others. the common comment was low. i’m sure he was just joking BUT some jokes should be between friends and you notice ppl didn’t really laugh. the amy comment was also off as well. i don’t think the producers were being disrespectful. personally if my mom died, the first and only thing on my mind would be to talk about her but he was too into himself to do that. plus they didn’t know that he was going to talk about her anyway so of course they tried to shut him up

i think u are an intelligent human being. i saw the same thing too.
rihanna did not drag him from his seat, when his name and her name were called, they both stood up along wid others and, then she took him by the hand until they reached the steps, where he gestured for her to go up first (like ladies first gesture), then he let her have her say, etc. btw, it is the grammy, rihanna was extremely excited and nervous, she went and collected awards before but this is the GRAMMY AWARDS.
solange need to quit, tell her find her attention from papa knowles who is still to NOTICE her behind.

@BORED,
U JUST MAD CAUSE A DRUG ADDICT UPSTAGED BEYONCE. beyonce has NOT win a general field yet, she does not have record of the year, song of the year, album of the year, nor best new artist awards. all of beyonce grammy come from r&b and rap collaboration. however, AMY WINEHOUSE upset beyonce’s career cause irreplaceable was beyonce biggest and most successful hit to date, but she got no grammy for it, wow, the voters have found a new darling.

I don’t think it was any kind of awkward moment Some of you are just being bitter haters. THEY, (as in Rihanna featuring Jay Z), won an award for best RAP/SUNG COLLABORATION (as in more than one person working together) so its only natural they should accept the award together no drama in that, you all need to relax. jealousy it does not look good.
And Concreteloop I must say I didn’t expect that from you either smh

I agree the rhi and Jay “moment” was not even a “moment” shame on you CL I expected that from other sites please dont breed that follishness here too!! Anyway she was just excited and Jay seems like he hates award shows who can blame him I mean the only thing I would want was the goodie basket ,,but this show was kinda boring I lthink the 2003 or 2004 I cant remember the year was much better

Solange gave Ri-RI the side eye because she’s a jealous &itch!!! She wishes that she could be grabbing Jay-Z or anybody and going up to accept a Grammy. Instead she’s at home changing diapers and potty training her son. She and Ri-Ri are probably very close in age. If she hadn’t been so damn fast, maybe she also could’ve had a career but she doosn’t.

I saw the Rihanna and Jay Z “thing” and it really wasn’t a “thing” at all, although it’s obvious that Jay loves the shit outta Beyonce because he was really NOT trying to make it look like him and Rihanna were together in no shape or form. He did kinda pull back when Rihanna grabbed him, but I don’t know if it was because Beyonce was there or if it was because he didn’t want tongues to start wagging LIKE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW. Rihanna looked genuinely happy to have won a Grammy and of course Jay ain’t no rookie so he didn’t care one way or the other.
Don’t know why he was “translating” for her. I guess it was to try to cap it off like “yeah, we just up here having fun, but my girl is in the audience with her Orlando Jones lookin sister”

I like Kanye and he is a really talented brother but his arrogance is still getting the best of him. There is no doubt that he wanted to and should have given tribute to his mother - but that should have been the first thing on his mind instead of al of the babbling about Common not coming out the same year as he does (as if to say, Common doesn’t stand a chance against him).
And then to go on to say if Amy or whoever else wins album of the year - he deserves it too. C’mon now, you know you have the same time as everybody else - start off with you tribute to your Mom - it seems as if he was babbling long enough to get to the music playing on him so he could make that lil’ scene. He doesn’t need the antics - let your talent speak for you.
I knew folk would make a big deal out of the Jay Z/Rhianna stage thing — it was no big thing. Why wouldn’t he be on stage with her - his name on that Grammy too. And she knows he was the only reason she got there. And yes he was loving it, because he is no longer Jay Z the rapper, but Sean Carter the businessman. Few years ago he was boycotting the Grammy’s now he’s front row center stage.
It was a beautful thing - she acknowledging him and he being proud of her.

I saw it, and I think Jay looked very uncomfortable when Ri-Ri grabbed his hand. I mean, c’mon, she could have grabbed his shoulder, his elbow, or put her hand on his back. But the hand?? I would never want my man holding another chick’s hand—I don’t care what the occasion is. It must be something they do in the Barbadoes.

Jay and RiRi NAW!
Monday, February 11, 2008 /
looking at the awards lastnight I did not think that Jay was acting like that toward RiRi I seemed that he did not want to go on stage. Then he was joking with her as he was trying to translate what she was saying because she was excited. Well that is what I thought. Besides is RiRi and Chris Brown together? well that is the rumors and they were pretty close at the after party

I had a friend who worked at the label when rihanna first came onto the scene. Yes Jay was definately smashin that. He was crazy protective of her too. He insisted on being at every performance with her and before she went on, he would have himself locked in with her for at least two hours and put all the staff on watch. he even had a teenage intern escort her to some events so it made it look like she was dating someone her own age. But he was definately with her, but thats how it is in the industry these days to get ahead. Beyonce did the same thing no doubt.

Most borning grammy’s ever. I like Rhi, but her performance was stiff as hell and awkard. Beyonce’s hair was dry and her performance was awkward as well. I was laughing my ass off as she tried to sing in tina’s voice. I thought tina turner did better on stage alone. Kanye did well, but then got slighted by the music playing in the background…and jayz was frontin with Rhi….Nas was talking greasy about the nigger word, all the vets were noticeably not at the awards (mary, janet, mimi, toni. tamia); it’s like all the children came, but the grown folks stayed home. I turned halfway through it, it was so pathetic.

It was the award for best RAP/SUNG COLLABORATION, it wasn’t strange for Jay to go up there too.
And Solange needs to sit her no-talent ass down, WTF was she doing there in the first place? She’s just mad Rihanna’s doing her thing while she’s stuck riding Bey’s coattails. She’s never even had a hit.

As far as the rihanna and jay z thing it was no big deal I mean artist invite their business people on stage all the time. And in her case she should have cuz he was featured on the record. And he was starting mess when he kept interuppting her speech so he wasn’t by any means nervous about going on stage.They both were just having fun. It just shows that they work well together like brother and sister fighting and playing back and forth.

You know what, I watched the Pre-Grammy show and Jay-Z was acting funny. Regardless of rumors, Jay could have found a better way not to embarrass that poor girl, I think he needs to lighten up a bit. She was just happy to win something and he was responsible for her career really taking off. I saw that mess.
And I am sick of Kanye acting a damn fool….they should have cut him off…time is money and if he was waiting to perform and if someone else’s acceptance speech ran into his performance time, he would have been pissed.

Correction
watched the clip on youtube
Grammy 2008: Rap/Sung Collaboration
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hInmavt9ydo
Here’s what I think.
Has it occurred to anyone that Jay Z is a MUCH OLDER MAN
than Rihanna, and that he used to be HER BOSS.
It would be considered VERY INAPPROPRIATE for him/her to be holding hands and to hug.
THAT’s Why Jay Z didn’t want to hold hands with her
BECAUSE
of how it would look to OTHERS (like their relationship is anything other than business)
Men have to always think about HOW THINGS APPEAR to others
plus you must consider the fact that his girlfriend (Beyonce) was sitting right there in the audience….
I mean why WOULD he hold Rihanna hands
when his girl Beyonce is sitting right there watching the whole thing go down ???
* And his sister in law “Solange” looked like she was about to telll Rihanna off….
I guess Rihanna was excited,
but Jay Z calmed her down………
See….
It’s not a good look for an older man to be hugging on young girls..
People might ge the wrong impression.
* That’s just common sense…

I have to agree with everyone who said that Ri-ri and Jay are just friends. I don’t see anything else between them. I really just a stupid ass rumor 4-real. I have a friend who happens to be a man, that I hang out with like all day when I am visiting Chi-town. There is no way I look at him other than a BROTHER and vise-versa. We got to the clulb, hang in the park and hang out at his house with his family. We talk on the phone for hours and there is ABSOLUTELY no sexual feelings there. So I would be a hyprocrite if I thought that they are more than what they say they are. It is always a possiblity. There are tons of rumors that come out about celebrities that is untrue. Even when they try to explain why they are not people don’t believe them. But if you have ever had a situation like this then you would know. Not every woman who is friends with a man is having sex with them. Yeah it could happen but than again it won’t. Leave it alon. You are messing with people’s lives. I have learn they everyone deal with things differently depending on the person or people. Just because you choose to be an entertainer that doesn’t mean you are not human. A TONGUE IS A TWO-WAY SWORD. Unlike what people think WORDS DO HURT. They are humans too.

Is this not black history month. Not that this is the reason to act right, but how DISRESPECTFUL. Now you have any person whom may have racist thoughts once agains JUDGE all of us because of YOU AND YOUR WIFE. I don’t get it. What was your point?

Rihanna was just acting like a lil girl who wants to thanks her big brother in front of the whole world because of the chance he gave to her….
And i guess beyonce understands that better than u guyz lol…
The talk to the hand, the jokes on scene, and him not wanting to go to let her shine, and bee and riri forcing him to go: all of that r showing big brother-little sister ‘ behaviour…
I was actually really happy and excited to see that on tv: dat was hella cute…
But after i said “oh Snap: tomorrow lets the rumours begin”….

YEAH KELIS IS DA BOSS BITCH!!!!!, i dont really get the word being put on blast like that it doesn’t really make sense to me, any way….Rihanna and jay-z thing was cute he was translating her bajan accent, it wasn’t awkward at all and it didnt look awkward on tv either, it was appropriate for her to pull him up on stage..still dont get why she got a grammy though.

I didn’t think the Jay and Ri moment was that awkward, and people are definitely looking too deep into it, but when he pulled away the first thing I thought was “yea, he’s making sure he isn’t sleeping on the couch tonight!” LOL
Though….I bet it’s a very nice and comfortable couch…

Wow! I must have watched the remix to the grammys because I sure did not see what was typed up there about Jay and Rihanna. She was excited and I can understand why she would pull Jay Z up there with her - he was her mentor and she was he protege. Jay Z probably did not want to go up there and that’s probably why he hesitated. In the past I’ve seen rappers try to take their homies on stage to accept an award and I have seen such hesitation…why o why must we read something into what happened yesterday? Regarding the picture with her hand up, I thought that was done in jest because Jay was jovially acting like an interpreter.
Anywho, I got to see another side of Rih…the girl oozes confidence that I admire. Go Rih with ya bad self!

I REALLY LOVE KANYE BUT I FELT LIKE IN LIGHT OF HIS MOTHERS DEATH HE SHOULD BE A BIT MORE RESPECTFUL…..I MEAN LETS FACE IT, HIS SPEECH WAS GETTING LONG. ALSO I DON’T APPRECIATE WHAT HE SAID ABOUT COMMON (EVEN THOUGH HE WAS JOKING), LYRICAL COMMON IS A GIANT!

I love Kanye as a musician and his performance was amazing, but when it’s time for him to speak, I just cringe. It’s just something about his attitude. It always seems as if he feels the world OWES him something and that is far from the case. His speech was too long and the music was warranted. Get off the stage. I do think they should’ve cut the music when he started to speak about his mother though. They could’ve at least done that without him asking, regardless of how long the speech was.
I am happy he held his composure through it all. Even more happy he won, because I did not want to see yet another Kanye rant at an award show.
I do think Usher’s comment about losers and Kanye when he presented the last award was unnecessary. The same joke is made at every award show. Give it a rest already.

I feel sorrry for both ladys. Jayz has had allot of flaws an a few hidden agendas

1. Solange needs to worry about when or if her cd will ever drop! Talent or not Rihanna got her own paper, Solange living off Beyonce. 2. I saw an EXCITED Rihanna who didnt seem to think about her action and felt J should have been just as excited. He groomed her and that was a great way to leave Def Jam as Pres. watching the artist he developed recieve the highest honor. However, Her holding his hand while walking up stairs is what a MAN is supposed to do, anyone that disagrees has never encountered a real man. Beyonce Is Not As Secure As Her PR Would Like You To Think!!!

Awkward?? It wasn’t awkward at all. I think she threw up her hands as in “I can’t believe I won” not “what’s up.” It’s her first Grammy! She ain’t thinking about no JayZ. I think she was just excited.

Kayne should know better. This isn’t the first time he’s won or been nominated. Everyone has the same amount of time to give thanks. He is a fukken brat and he surely isn’t as good as he thinks he is. One thing,he should go back to school. Perhaps he can learn some etiquette there.

“When you have a woman with ass, hips and thighs, it’s hard to go back to high school. She still has to know that you don’t hold his hands with 60 million people watching..
That is why Rhianna and GAY-Z could get away with it because there are still
women like you that think looks is all that counts. Did you hear Rhianna’s acceptance speech? Beyonce couldn’t even come up with an original thought. Everything she does is “rehearesed”. Why else would she need to lip-sync to the intro? GAY-ZX might be one ugly fuk,but that ugly fuk has some intelligence. You can’t have a conversation with “Miss hips and ass”.

“but i will say that i couldnt believe that she gave him that hand. it just show her immaturity. you cant give jigga-man the hand!!! what!! she dun lost her mind!!!”
Who died and made GAY-Z God. I’d give him more than my dam hand. He’s lucky he only had Rhianna to deal with.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /
cl - why would you post that comment from a newspaper that is still trying to get gossip out of a dead horse that never galloped? I NEVER BELIEVED JAY AND RIRI WENT THERE AND LAST NIGHT PROVED IT. I KNEW THE HATERS WOULD MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF RIHANNA AND JAY. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IS….
Rihanna is immature. Not that it’s wrong - she’s 19, but Beyonce was VERY mature at 19 and Jay was able to mold her. He was trying to show Rihanna how a lady should be treated. She wanted his hand while he was going to, probably, take her by the arm and help her up the stairs, but in her excitement, it got awkward. They still hugged. I thought the banter on stage was cute. His jokes were funny and her stopping him was funny, but they both walked off arm and arm so it was all good. Rihanna and her family were sitting behind them the whole time. No beef. Jay Brown and Ty-Ty are a part of Rihanna’s team - Jay’s best friends/brothers - no beef. Beyonce was the queen of the night and clearly having a good time, regardless of not having won a grammy.
Stop trying to make beef where there is none.

Every dam year, every Blog complains about how wack the Awards show was…did you even watch the show Angel???
First off, I didn’t see the Nas thing until I came on the blogs, and I must say, Nas and Kelis are digging a deeper ditch for Black people. Who even invited them? Listen, your last stunt, “Hip Hop is Dead’ (as pointed out by my girl on CNN) was a flopped publicity stunt and now this is the new one for ‘08, after all the attention the word got in ‘07. How will this translate to record sales? Nas needs to be dropped for this foolishness, its just a disgrace!
Next, Alicia Key’s performance was MAGICAL! I think she did an awesome job and she deserved her Grammy!
Kanye had a great performance, but I’m sorry, his arrogance is UGLY. I can’t get into him sometimes.
I’m a big Rhi Rhi fan so I was happy she won her first Grammy! When watching the show in real time, me and my peoples were laughing how she just grabbed Jay and took him up. Jay was tryin to be funny, but it was coming across as forced. Of course Beyonce kept smiling, because thats ALL she does….remember when J.Hud won the Oscar??/ B was all smiles
Rhi Rhi needs to forget this Camel and get herself a real man/mentor, for reals!
Thats it folks!

listen up ppl….
barbados is a open place, here its NOT OFFENSIVE to hold the hand of your boss, mentor, guy who is the reason that u taking an award that probably wouldn’t have happened if u had stayed ur tiny behind on this lil rock
now, i think ppl reading too much into this, ain t like she pulled a whitney houston (I LOVE YOU BOBBBBY!!!) moment, i was too busy killing myself in laughter at the contraption Solange was wearing tho…. wth was all that?? Even tho the look of death was evident on beyonce’s face (yeah i rewound and watched it from angle right about 15 times) before the courtesy smile kicked in, i think Rihanna was just excited as hell…. hell couple years ago no one even knew where the hell BARBADOS was… far less COMBEREMERE where she went school…
as for kanye… should have blessed mama first, dissed nas and who ever last, they might not of cut him off then, check if u get to watch it over ALL THE RECIPIENTS INCLUDING RIHANNA WERE TOLD TO WRAP UP THE SPEECHES… SHE EVEN SAID AND I QOUTE “Wrap it up? OK!” it ain t like we giving an award to stevie wonder all over again… credits rolling on cbs and he still thanking god, the cheetah that died making that shirt, his optician, his caterer….
nas and kelis…. man that was tasteless…. i expect better from them, willy lynch syndrom obviously is still evident here.

I think it’s pretty ironic that of all people Kanye is reprimanding anyone regarding “good taste”…dude you are one of the most rude and classless artist I’ve ever witnessed. Absolutely talented…yes. Good taste…no. Taste doesn’t only apply to how people treat you ‘Ye. You have to give respect to others too.
On a lighter note, you might also reconsider your reflections on “good taste” in light of your often poor choice of attire…”good taste”? ERRRR!

I think Bey should be jealous. She can’t have “moments” like that with her man because she can’t just talk and have fun off the top of her head. She just isn’t quick/witty. Everything has to be written down for her.

They only gave Kanye the award, fanfare and attention because of his mothers passing. Notice every year at every awards show he throws a damn tantrum about something. Its embarassing and makes him look weak and like a damn fool. Hopefully he can be satisfied now and cut that crap out. His music is so good but he runs fans away with that spoiled brat bullshit.
i feel sorry for Rihanna…you know Beyonce dared JZ to so much as look in her direction. Poor child just wants to “innocently” chum up to her mentor as much as possible. LOL…

And would you clowns please stop with the… she’s just a child routine. Children don’t keep their legs cocked open in every performance. Children don’t get breast implants. Children don’t slut around with any & everything Hollywood. Children don’t bend over in every performance. Children don’t gush about having relationships with B list actors.
Get yall $hit together & face the facts. Riyonce is a TRICKBOT. Plain & simple

FOR ALL THE HATERS THAT WANTED BEYONCE TO HATE - REWIND THE TAPE UNTIL IT POPS, SHE’S SMILING AND CLAPPING THE ENTIRE TIME. SHE DIDN’T WIN A GRAMMY BUT WAS THE QUEEN OF THE GRAMMYS - SHE’S GOOD. BESIDES SHE HAS 10 GRAMMYS.
JAY DID NOT SNATCH HIS HAND AWAY FROM HER - SHE GRABBED HIS WRIST AND WHEN THEY GOT TO THE STAIRS HE TOUCHED HER ELBOW TO DIRECT HER UP THE STAIRS. IT WAS A GROWN MAN SHOWING A YOUNG GIRL THE WAY HOW TO WALK WITH A MAN THAT’S TREATING YOU LIKE A LADY.
STOP REACHIN AND LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.
