    riri did well last night, I was happy for her, she make beyonce look fat as a cow, yall know thats why bey ducked in the back door, she did not want any photo’s taken of her plastered all over these blogs! rihanna is killin’ her style wise and in the looks department.

    @13, WHY DO YOU THINK KANYE IS LOOSING IT AFTER HIS PERFORMANCE?? I THOUGHT HE DID DECENT. AND I WAS SHOCKED HE WANTED TO GIVE HIS AWARD TO LIL WAYNE. RIHANNA’S PERFORMANCE WAS BORING. NE-YO’S AND BEYONCE’S AND CHRISTINA AGUILERA’S WERE THE MOST ENTERTAINING. CHRIS SHOULDN’T HAVE WON ARTIST OF THE YEAR. NO WAY!!! WHAT ARE PEOPLE VOTING FOR!! AND RIHANNA SHOULDN’T HAVE WON FOR THE R& B CATEGORIES EITHER AND LIL WAYNE SHOULD OF WON FOR HIP HOP ARTIST OF THE YEAR, NOT KANYE.

  3. (EVEN BEYONCE SAID)IMA-IMA-UH-DIVA!

    LMAO…YALL RIHANNA FANS NEED TO STOP BEING SO MAD AT BEYONCE….FIRST OFF…HOW IN THE HELL IS RIHANNA EVEN IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS BEYONCE?? Beyonce is an entertainer..a REAL singer…an actress..a diva…and one of the baddest female icons of all time..SECOND OFF…
    Yall know the only thing Rihanna has on BEYONCE IS FASHION..her looks plz…made up..just like Beyonce so cant say sh*t about that…because GOD made everybody beautiful no MAN on this earth is the finest over anybody…Look at Rihannas old pictures and how THEY CLEARLY state just how Hard SHE WAS TRYING TO JOCK BEYONCE and how she REALLY DRESSES WHEN SHE DIDNT HAVE A STYLIST. AND YALL SAY BEYONCE DANCES LIKE A HOOKER AND DRESS LIKE ONE??? I guess when RIHANNA dresses like a hooker and be on stage in matrix gear bending over or squattin in front of lil kids that sh*t is cute eh?? LOL plz stop bein mad…..Rihanna aint perfect nor is BEYONCE…BUT ATLEAST BEYONCE HAS TRUE TALENT AND SHE STILL FUCKIN THE GAME UP…THATS WHY YALL MAD BECAUSE YALL NEVER EXPECTED HER TO ROCK HER SH*T SO LONG…BUT OH WELL LOSERS…SUCK IT UP..AND DEAL WITH IT.

    BEYONCE TOO TALENT TO ALLOW SOME BROKE AZZ LOSERS TO SHOOT HER DOWN FROM THE SKY….BESIDES SHE TOO HIGH FOR YALL LIL WEAK AZZ AIMS. SMH.

  4. (EVEN BEYONCE SAID)IMA-IMA-UH-DIVA!

    KANYE WEST IS A JOKE….HE HAS GOTTEN TO POMPUS AND TALKS TOO MUCH SH*T…I do not like him and eventually his big azz head will be his downfall.
    Rihanna winning over LiLi is f’n hilarious shows that most white ppl are doin the votin and supportin these days. Because she is clearly not R&B…and should not even had been placed with Alicia Keys…what the hell is goin on…RiRi fans are boastin her fame up by comparin her to an already establish icon…Beyonce. THE ONLY MAIN reason why she is EVEN compared to Beyonce is because shes on Jays label and once that was discovered rumors started flyin and the foolish pointless comparisions began…shows how lame and pathetic ppl lives truly are.
    Yall can scream and shout and spit B’s name out all yall want

    THE FACT WILL STILL REMAIN THAT BEYONCE IS THE HOTTEST FEMALE IN THE GAME AND CANT NO NON SININGIN BIRD HAIRDO CANT DANCE BORIN AZZ STAGE PRESCENSE SO CALLED SINGER WITH A PRETTY FACE AND A BAD ASS STYLIST GONNA BE ABLE TO KNOCK B DOWN…GOTTA COME AS HARD AS B OR STAY YA AZZ IN THE BACK.

    The flyest chicks at the AMA were A. Keys, Queen that’s my girl, Rihanna but her performance wasnt all that. Beyonce I aint even gonna lie her performance was Fierce. I like Pink’s performance as well and A.Keys with Queen and the opera singer was beautiful. Other than that everyone looked aight besides T-Pain hot as mess, Dream finally took a bath usually he looks like a HOBO lol. Tocarra outfit does not suite her it just doesn’t look right but the show was aight skip around to the key parts.

  10. EB

    @ 61 That was one of the dancers in her video. The black girl. She uses the same three girls for each performance. They just switch up. The white girl and the light skin girl( from the video) were on 106 and park. The ones from the AMAs were on SNL. They must be the best three from her dancers cause she kept using them.

  11. KJOURNEY

    I think nick cannon is a fine piece of chocolate ill take summa him and mimi(dang am I gay?-background all I hear is riley from the boondocks “n+++++ u gay-)
    Rihanna so pretty but her performance was like grits with not salt bland
    Hill harper u r a good looking and smart man
    Leona I’d do u and come back for seconds
    Ak’s reminds me of a honey. Biscuit

    Is it me or does chris brown look like a gerbal maybe needs one of those usher breaks to grow into his grown man likethe between the all the time I thnk of u and remind me songs bc the few pap shots I’ve seen got me signing I’m not feeling u… Imma find another young tenda rony to go to the prom with now..lol

    I personally think aron mcgruder (boondocks creator) and his character gangstalicious(mos def) should have won an award for hottest rap song “Homies ova Ho+* “

  12. K. Meyth

    Rih Rih’s shoes…..were the bussssssssssiiiiiiinnnneeeessssss!
    She was amazing and looked fabulous!
    Kanye did his thing as well. He left his heart all ovvvvvvvvver the stage!

  13. Nothing But Love

    @ JAZZ

    I dunno he just seems like his mind is somewhere else i just think hes been acting kinda weird….*shrugs* i dunno maybe its just me…lol

  14. Joke

    Yall funny if yall think Beyonce is scared of Rhianna. Do you honestly thing Beyonce missed the red carpet bc of Rihanna. ahahahahahha thats funny. People will say just about anything to keep that girl down.

    The facts are that Beyonce outshined Rihanna last night. She of course got a standing ovation. Hell everyone including Miley Cyrus oushined Rhianna. ahahahha I think that is hilarious.

  15. Theworldwillendin2012

    Lmao, so Chris Brown thinks he’s all grown & shit. Mmmmmmmm, @ Corbin Bleu, & OMG! So Hill Haper & Lewis Hamilton are twins! I missed the show, im glad i did.

  16. lois

    Beyonce did not out shine Rihanna. Rihanna held her own and everyone knows that beyonce is the one who has something to prove. Rihanna pulled her awards last night, did her performance and looked AMAZING. Beyonce on the other hand looks like she gained 20 pounds, looks nuts holding her ponytail in the air, messed up 3 TIMES in her performance and was looking rather puffy around the waist area, bruised up legs, yelling at the audience saying they too cool. Maybe she’s an alcoholic? lol

  17. jjj (The Original JJJ)

    Rihanna is so hot and pretty!

  18. Frank26Ford

    Pink sucks! Why are you in love with that white girl?! lol

  19. Cali Girl

    If Bey had showed up on the red carpet she would have been looking a mess. That’s probably why she didn’t want to do it, She knows right now she can’t win against Rihanna fashion or looks wise, thats why you couldn’t find her anywhere to be seen. Sorry, but she did not shut the awards down with her performance, it was very lack-luster especially since she seemed to lose her balance more than once. I am just starting to wonder what is going on with Beyonce, because she is not acting normal lately.

  20. GS

    Rihanna rocked the dress
    Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Terrence Howard, Hill Harper & Akon worked the suits
    Alicia looked amazing minus the head jewel
    Pink and Nicole S looked good in their dresses
    Queen looked nice

    I was very impressed with the outfits overall. Good choices for most of them.

  21. why peeps keep saying bey killed it she lipsync the whole dam song never keep the mic to her mouth so busy tryna do the dance …i guess she was to good to do the red carpet where in the world was jay …lolo never mind doing his own thang wiff tyty ……

  22. LOVE both of Rhi outfits seems to me she tries to cover that hand tat this is my second time seeing her with a glove on and just weeks ago she wasnt working them

    Everyone looks Great!

  23. Amilli

    Rihanna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gorgeous!!!!!
    I love her hair like that, she looks like she just stepped out of a faitytale or something!
    Beautiful!!

  24. Taylor

    Jamie Fox looks like a perv. lol

    Rihanna is hot

    Jorrdin Sparks needs to lose weight

    Why was beyonce not on the red carpet? oh I forgot, she knew Rihanna would smash her lol

  25. Jana D

    Rihanna’s red carpet dress was not cute at all, but her performance outfit was hot. Her performance was ok, vocally it was good, but she didn’t really show much emotion.

    Beyonce’s performance was pretty great, but I have seen her perform the song a little better. I love it when she lifted her ponytail at the end, that was FIERCE!!!

    I really do think Kanye is headed towards a mental breakdown after watching that performance.

    I was glad to see Queen Latifah come out and perform with Alicia Keys. It was great to see her rapping again. They should do a song together in the future, but I was thrown off by that lady coming out and singing opera.

    Overall, the show was just ok. I don’t know who’s producing these award shows nowadays but they are all kinda falling off. They need some fresh ideas on how to spruce it up and make it more exciting.

  26. Italia

    Rihanna is so amazing and I loved her Rehab performance, she is going to be the future legend just like Madonna, she is too pretty for words, looks like a goddess!

  27. wendyista.blogspot.com

    miss rihanna looks flawless as usual

  28. Aik

    So who dressed Tocara?! Come on, you’re a represent a part of the fashion industry, and 50′s pin up was the best you could do? And it wasn’t even done successfully.

    Akeys loved lovely, loving the grecian goddess look!

  29. Shame

    NO WONDER THE AMA’S ARE BEING REVIEWED AS THE WORSE NEXT TO MTV’S AWARD SHOWS.

    RIHANNA OVER ALICIA? NOW YOU KNOW THEY DID THAT JUST TO GET HER AND CHRIS TO COME BECAUSE NO OTHER BIG ARTIST WANTED TO STAY IN THE AUDIENCE.

  30. ROTLFMAO

    Each time Riri won the presenter couldn’t believe she won because they know she didn’t deserve it.

    This was clearly a case of teen popularity over OVERALL talent.

    Hysterical.

  31. Reviews

    The reviews are still coming in and hands down the performer of the night was SASHA FIERCE. They don’t even remember what happened before or after her because she shut it down as expected.

  32. HALCYONC

    “And Am I the only one who doesn’t get Miley Cyrus….I mean she can’t sing that well, she can’t dance, she’s not too cute, she can’t act……WTF????

    You aren’t alone. That child is growing up too fast IMO.

  33. Real Talk

    #152 – you just described Rihanna’s career. Answer that and you’ll answer Miley.

  34. Real Talk

    #141 is delusional – you’re so used to artists being fake, you can’t even tell the real thing. You don’t get standing ovations for lip-synching.

  35. Dark N Lovely

    Dem toes on the Queen is begging for help..she look good in that dress that hides all the mid flaws..

  36. EAR JAM

    Rihanna, I mean Leona is corny, stiff and sounds horrible live. Heard her twice and she won’t get three times outta torturing my ears.
