Beyonce did ok, everybody else pretty much sucked.

not into bey at all but she did good…i give props where they are due…i see mariah had her butler take her down the steps…

Rihanna Slayed

loving the beyonce picture!

And what was the point of Nick Cannon being onstage with Mariah? They are so freaking fake, I mean they are trying way to hard.

Love the red dress chica from Neyo’s performance is wearing.

EVERYBODY DID GOOD. IT WAS A GOOD WELL ROUNDED SHOW.

My bad second…But it was ok, 2008 was not the best year for music or award shows

woooooooo go bey!!
go riri!!!
ain got time 2 watch the performances ut every1 look nice
i see ri rockin a glove too
mj inspired?

I loved majority of the performances and I enjoyed the awards show. Overall, I think Alicia Keys performance was the best. She always brings it with surprises and all. Ya gotta love it!!! Nick and Mariah, Chris and Rihanna are so cute together.

Get it Bee

Rihanna and Pink are cute

Nick and Mariah cute

Work Bee!!!

The best performance of the night to me was:

New Kids on the Block (cause I’m a 90’s girl and I remember them)
Christina A. was nice to see her as well
Hannah Montana did a nice job (cute song)
Mariah C. was alright.
Beyonce was off the chain LOVED IT (I was surprise to know Dream produce the song).
Ne-Yo was a nice performance
Last Alicia K. WOW she did her thang again….

Rihanna was ok nothing big.

I LOVE RHIANNA’S DIAMOND STUDDED EYE PATCH…AND SHE WAS GORGEOUS LAST NIGHT.

ak was amazing!

go pink!! das my girl

Rihanna really has got to tone it down just a bit..that dress reminds me of my grandmother’s curtains.. Beyonce’s performance was good it could have been a little more creative she just performed her video live…

Mariah isn’t the same Mariah I knew when growing up her voice doesn’t glide as easily as it use too..its like if she sings any louder she might pop a vein in her neck..

LOVED LEONA’S AND PINK’S SET. THEY DID A GOOD JOB SINGING.

ALICIA WAS THE STAND OUT PERFORMER LAST NIGHT…HER SET WAS PURE CLASS, LOVED HOW SHE INCLUDED THE PIC OF MICHELLE OBAMA AT THE END.

BEYONCE’S ACT WAS THE SAME BOOTY SLAPPIN AND HEAVY PATTIN AS USUAL….I’M SURE SOME LOVED IT..

IF I WERE THE PRES. AND SELECTING SOMEONE TO SING ON INAUGURATION NIGHT, IT WOULD BE THE ONE WITH THE CLASSY ACT, NOT SOMEONE SLAPPING THEIR OWN ASS ON STAGE AND POPPING THEIR STUFF WHILE THEIR LOSE THIGHS JIGGLING LIKE JELLO.

I LOVED NEYO’S MAIN DANCER…SHE DID HER THING LAST NIGHT.

QUEEN LATIFAH NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RAP ALBUM; MISS HER VOICE ON THE SCENE.

CONGRATS TO RHIANNA AND CHRIS…THEY EACH WON TWO AWARDS FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK IN THE PAST YEAR….

WORK Bee…..LOL…I Love this woman

Everyone looks nice. the show was boring as hell.

Beyonce - off the chain.. the sexiest performance!
Alicia/Queen/Kathleen - so so so amazing..work it out black women!
Rihanna - Stunning..she killed it!
Kayne - Sorry, but was bored……..he is a brat!
Pink - AWESOME
Christina - ROCKED IT

beyonce messed up ….look very closely when dips in front of the dark skin girl yup

Bey was okay…Where’s the girls from the video…The white chick was a lil stiff
Rihanna was horrible. She doesn’t have any vocal skills.. Beauty, YES.

Overall, the show really SUCKED..

Look @ Bey looking like Mama Tina. I see where she gets that attitude from. LOL Work Bey work!! I don’t see the point of holding the ponytail up, but go figure.

I’m glad the performances were hot!! Looks like Ri-Ri rocked it!! Go Ri-Ri!!!! I guess I’ll look for the performances on youtube.

the best performances - leona, a.keys, cold play, christina

roflmaooooooooooooooooo BeYaki performed the tired video routine and messed up three times. She is tired and lame. Go away BeYaki. There is nothing interesting going on with your jacked up career.

Alicia and Neyo and Pink were great. Rihanna was interesting. She’s gonna be around for a long time because she stealing BeYaki’s white fans and some of Britney Spears fans.

But to say BeYaki shut anything down is a lie, she pressured the audience to stand up. The place was quiet for the first couple minutes of her robotic performance singing to a back track. She looks so stupid on stage and just too big and grown to be bopping around half nekked. Grow up BeYaki and learn how to make mature music.

Kanye was kind of strange in a weird way. He looks like he’s drugged.

Rumor is that BeYaki didn’t do the red carpet because she didn’t want Rihanna to show her up. roflmaaaa. why am I not surprised that that could be the truth.

I’m mad I missed Alicia’s performance. And what sucks is I have to wait til I get home cause I can’t watch youtube at work…ugh!

But of course Beyonce was entertaining…and Mariah did well (even though she only moved twice)

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF BEYONCE PULLING HER STUPID PONYTAIL? THE SHOW WAS JUST OK… ALICIA IS ALWAYS GOOD. LEONA LEWIS?????? GET A CLUE. KANYE WAS BLEW OUT OF HIS MIND

It was a very diverse not.
My Favs
Akeys
Rihanna
Pink
NeYo
Taylor Swift
Beyonce - like watching the video nothing to wow me..
she pretty much had the only upbeat song…
I think Chris and Rihanna are cute together he held her purse… I see you..

night**

Beyonce is a Beast , love her to pieces That performance was live people!!! get into it., no one else can sing or dance like her and all the while maintain face and body. The is the best period, no one that night came close. Understand Beyonce worked it out and did not need a huge set to do so. The women is AMAZING.

Furthermore Beyonce’s walk is FIERCE !!!

Well the award show was definitely better than VMAs.

Beyonce: definitely the best performance of the night, she brought up the energy level of the show up.Once she made her entrance onto the stage, the audience were already cheering and screaming b4 she even started singing.

Alicia and company: were also very entertaining and good

Mariah : decent performance

Christina: started off good but when down the hill. Her vocals were already straining,she couldn’t the notes and she sounded tired.

Rihanna: she was interesting to looked with her ensemble, but once again her performance was bland and lacking. plus she sounded a screeching hot mess

Pink to me tore the house down last night. She is most definitely one of the most underrated talent. She didn’t seem as confident performing with Sarah McClachlan though but that’s understandable since it wasn’t her song.

Beyonce looked and sounded great. Had everybody on their feet and she actually had the uphill thing this time. I was dead when I saw the white woman doing the hand movement.

Alicia and Queen would have been great alone, they just didn’t mesh well with KB.

Mariah has really lost her touch. I wish she would go back to the days when she would go on stage and not feel so self conscious.

Speaking of feeling too self-conscious, Rihanna once again looks stiff as a stick.

My little sister was going crazy over Jonas Brothers so I’ll just say good for them.

NICK AND MIMI, CUTTTE! I LOVE THEM TOGETHER…CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE BABY.

beyonce stay shakin that ass. and that does not an icon make, bey. i’m sorry but the ones who sat at the piano did the best to me. annie lenox OMG!!! she brought the house down. sarah mac and pink did good. it reminded me of me and my sister trying to harmonize gospel songs. lol. and last BUT NOT LEAST alicia keys delivered!! good show overall. very proud of rihanna, too.

wow she can grab her hair and shake her butt that dont mean shit her song is wack just because they play it over and over on the radio that dont make it a hit she fell off rihanna picking up where she left off fuck beyonce rihanna is killin that hoe in everyway beyonces song is so wackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk she needs to give it up already

I thought everyone did a good job performance wise. I think I”m a need Beyonce to put some clothes on, I don’t get the panties deal, put some clothes on girl.

fuck bee rihanna was the best

PINK WAS THE ISH LAST NIGHT. HER VOICE IS SOOOO POWERFUL ON HTE SOLO AND THEN SO SOFT AND GENTL ON THE DUET WITH SARAH. I THINK SHE DOESN’T GET ENOUGH PROPS ON HER VOCAL SKILLS.

BEYONCE AS MUCH AS I HATE THAT SONG…SHE KILLED IT LAST NIGHT. MADE ME REMEMBER WHY I USED TO REALLY LOVE HER.

man im mad i missed rhi and ak…they are my favorites rite now..sumone is goona have to resign when brandy album drops. maybe a key can take a break for a lil minute until brandy is done. beyonce was beyonce, u r so used to her performing so damn good that its become boring, i dont get the whole ponytail grabbing thing?

BEYONCE KILLED IT EVEN THOUGH IM TRIED OF HER BUT SHE A GREAT PERFORMER.

RIHANNA LOOKED GORGEOUS AND PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD AS WELL

ALICIA KEYS IS VERY TALENTED BUT I WAS BORED WATCHING HER

MARIAH THATS THE BEST I EVER HEARD HER SOUND ON A AWARD SHOW

PINK VOICE IS ALL THAT LOVE HER

OBAMA 08

You peop[le can say what you want about Beyonce’s performance….if not for her, that crowd would have been to tears….hell I was soooo bored myself. The energy this woman brings…and i noticed how single ladies is creeping up the r&b/hip hop charts. Loves It…..And every one…young, old, white, and black were all out of their seats dancing.

@26…WTF?? Beyonce pressured everybody to get out their seats???? You sound stupid as hell.

Lastly, I don’t know what song will be performed at the inauguration….But I DO NOT want to hear Alicia Keys singing the National Anthem. She will sound a mess.

I agree #37. Those panties didn’t fit right or sumthing! WTF is that poofy thing in the front? OK Bee, your word for the new year is “Ab-machine”. But she can perform & I can’t wait to see Cadillac Records. Just no more panties. Leave that to Riri.

@ 36 Tina…Beyonce song is soooooo wack, YET it’s slowly creeping up the r&b charts, and all the people were out of their seats dancing. Please give it a rest

#39 NAY:

I so agree with you on the Pink front. She does not get the proper credit she deserves. This woman is BAD. Her new album is really hot.

For those of you wondering about Beyonce pulling on her ponytail, it looked like to me like she was saying “Yeah I sang. I danced. Really really hard. And yet the pony is STILL in place!” I LOVED THAT! Now that’s confidence and playfulness that others can learn to incorporate in their performances. Mariah used to act that carefree. Such a shame.

What is the point of pulling the pony tail exactly?

Rihanna. What a lucky bitch. Cause her performances are soooo damn boring on top of the fact she can’t sing worth crap , she’s truely lucky to be famous. I guess all you need is to look pretty and dress nice these days, huh

Beyonce’s performance was hot as usual.
Alicia keys and Queen Latifah was real good too.

BEYONCE DID THE DAMN THING!! POINT BLANK. PERIOD. SHE’S A LEGEND ALREADY!! SHE CAN SHAKE HER ASS ALL SHE WANTS..SHE CAN SANG HER BEHIND HER OFF WHILE DOIN SO.

GET EM BEE..! KEEP MAKIN THEM HATAHS MAD!!

QUEEN B TORE THE HOUSE DOWN!!!!

GET EM BEE YOU ARE THE SHIT!

I HAD TO TURN IT OVER WHEN RHIHORROR WAS ON SHE MADE MY EARS BLEED!

I LOVED NEYO PERFORMANCE!

WHY DIDINT CB PERFOM?

BUT LIKE I SAID QUEEN B SHIT IN ALL THESE STUDIO HOES

ALL MY SINGLE LADIES NOW PUT YOUR HANDS UP!

I LOVED !!!!!
NE-YO Performance he is a great entertainer… wonderful vocals.his dancer amazing
A KEYS sounded good…Her and Queen was great together
I can’t believe Rihanna beat out Alicia & Mary J Why ???anyways
BEYONCE…Great Performance she has tha unbeatable stage presence she had people up on their feet …Her energy level is AMAZING …loved it !
BORING
RIHANNA to me sucked as usual…she has NO stage presence at all.
All that fire & smoke was not disguising her goat hurdling cat stuck in her throat voice
Her “outfit” was nice including the eye patch thing HER VOICE IS HORRIBLE. but congrads on her wins..I’m sure her stans will defend yet another wack-ass performance.

I know some people who can do what Beyonce does. Although I have never been to one but those girls that make money for dancing with the poles. Um, Beyonce does what they do. Also, no offense to the gays but on You Tube she has a whole gang of men doing her dance to. I don’t call her dancing dancing it’s more like stripping.

Beyonce killed it, she had everyone on their feet and put on a SHOW as usual! And for those that don’t get why she grabbed her ponytail (my favorite part) that is something you would see at a gay ball during voguing which makes sense since she is so big in the gay community, that move was so classic to voguing it was sick and shows how over the top she is. LOVE IT! Youtube voguing to get schooled if you aren’t already.

i like how u put the TOP THREE Singer photos together. =D

Leona ; Mariah ; Beyonce

Beyonce killed her performace.

Rihanna sucks live, though i still think she is the hottest chick inthe game.

Pink was cool too.

loved Beys outfit.

Rihanna eye patch was NOT the business.

It’s still her birthday though……..GO GO GO GO GO RI RI!!

My two cent, the show was blah. I got so bored I went to bed. Unfortunately, I missed A. Keys……..dang.

B’s performance was her video. How is that bringing the house down? It was the same routine and half naked ass shaking.

I really enjoyed Ne-Yo’s performance. That man is straight class and the dancer in the red dress was impeccable. I think I slipped a disk watching her legs all up in the air……………….damn!!!!

We all know Christina Aguillera can sing, but sometimes I wish she would tone it down. All that “running” and screaming gave me a headache. And what was up with her leotard half naked ass outfit?!?!? Put some damn clothes on and take Beyonce with you.

Love Pink and it’s good to see her all dolled up. Actually, she’s been doing that a lot lately…………….hmmm. Any who, I wish she would have done her other song So What. That’s my ish.

The performances on the show last night overall were just ok. You had some artists that turned up the energy, and gave us a performance..and some fell short. I thought that there were some performers who had to much going on as far as set design, props and dancers etc. and got lost unfortunately. I liked B’s performance, even though she did stumble a couple of times but, still managed to keep up the intensity and energy.

Pink killed it! Love her performance.

Xtina was okay but for the opener they could have picked someone else. I was hoping Pink would open up with “So What”

Bey did her thang. Hated the outfit - to Mama Knowle-ish. But she rocked it.

Mariah was stiff as usual. Sounded great but stiff as hell.

Coldplay was cool.

Kanye was alright.

PCD worked the stage.

Riri looked great - sounded better than normal. Her red carpet dress and shoes was GORGEOUS!!!

AKeys/Queen/Battle - THEY ROCKED THE SHIT OUT OF “SUPERWOMAN”

“Rumor is that BeYaki didn’t do the red carpet because she didn’t want Rihanna to show her up. roflmaaaa. why am I not surprised that that could be the truth.”

I can’t believe and mature “adult” would actually make up this childish RUMOR !!!
BEYONCE DOESN”T LOOK LIKE SHE GIVES TWO SHITS ABOUT RIHANNA… BOTH THESE WOMEN DID THEIR THANG WHY KEEP PUTTING THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER…When will this battle end ???
IT”S GETS SO childish on this post !

I’ve said so much about the performances already (in the other topic)…but…
I think the crowd respected the inspired performances (Pink, Sarah, Alicia) and had a really good time with the upbeat ones (Neyo, Beyonce, PCD, Natasha)…I think the crowd came to party and have fun so they weren’t really into Rihanna’s slower pop thing or even Leona’s performance (although she amped it up and got a healthy response)…
Look at Beyonce next to Mariah and Leona…she should not have been in a leotard. She could have dance in pants as she did at the World Music Awards…she was working hard to push that song to #1…good luck beyond Itunes and the R&B charts, Beyonce.
I love Pink’s tan and she sounded great with Sarah and Sober is a beautiful song…she and her backup singers sounded brilliant!
And how cool was Annie?

I’m praying for u that is the most shameful, hateful, and evil thing a person can say about anybody. Concreteloop needs to ban your ip address and delete that comment.

SMH at the ignorance it is not that serious u do not know this girl.

My husband told me that Beyonce almost fell. He said she stumbled twice. I will tell him that he was not seeing things!

I liked Neyo and New Kids too.

Miley Cyrus did good for the tweens!

A KEYS PERFORMANCE WAS PURE BRILLIANCE AND IT DEFINITELY SHOWS OFF THE FACT THAT NOT ONLY IS SHE A SINGER, WRITER, PIANO, AND CELLO PLAYER, BUT SHE IS ALSO A GREAT COMPOSER. i’M A FAN OF MUSIC PERIOD SO WHEN YOU START TO ADD OTHER GENRES TOGETHER I LOOK AT THE WAY THINGS ARE COMPOSED AND THE WAY THE MUSIC CHANGED BETWEEN THE LADIES SHOWS A BRILLIANCE IN MUSIC COMPOSITION. SHE HAD THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT TO ME.

BEYONCE WAS GOOD, BUT I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA COME OUT WITH A BANG WHEN IT WAS REALLY JUST A REPLICA OF THE VIDEO AND SHE DIDN’T SING HALF THE SONG.

RIHANNA-SORRY BUT SHE NEEDS HELP WITH STAGE PRESENCE AND PERFORMANCES CAUSE I ALMOST FELL ASLEEP.

PINK-AWESOME PERFORMANCE.

KANYE-VERY WEIRD FOR ME EVEN THOUGH I LIKE THAT SONG.

NEYO-LOVED IT AND HOMEGIRL KILLED IT. I ALSO LOVED THE TRIBUTE TO MORRIS DAY AND THE TIMES.

Leona was one of my favorites too. She is a tad boring but her voice is gorgeous and that dress she rocked on stage was the bizness!

@ JUDAH…

Your mom should have stayed on her knees that night because you’re a waste of life. Beyonce is an entertainer. she is there to ENTERTAIN! get a clue!

Beyonce ultimate performer

A.Keys was cool till the Queen came out and rip her rap verse taking her performance up some notches

Neyo did good

Pink was cool

and the rest were forgettable

HAHA Beyonce was all confused. Alicia Keys had the best performance then NEYO and Mariah a true ICON no one will ever top those records she has set. Not even BEYONCE>> lol

Why are people getting so sensitive I’m sure the crowd would have stand up Beyonce or no Beyonce and everybody didn’t have to like her performance I’m going to keep it real with you for me the best performance of the night was A. Keys it doesn’t always have to be booty shaking or nothing like that for once it’s nice to see someone show love to women who struggle to make a living and I wanted to cry when Queen Latifah mentioned J. Hud OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you #60 because I was just about to say that is pretty disturbing. I wouldn’t say that to my worst enemy. Not even if they went out and murdered my entire family. It’s so sad the level of venom that a genuinely nice person like Beyonce gets from people. This is not normal behavior. Wow and they’re preaching about the Good Book too? Wow.

#52
You mean she is EXPLOITING the gay community. She wants to be a gay icon because they’re loyal fans and the mainstream recognizes them. She’s even made an antigay statement in the press…a gay writer asked her about it in an interview…and though he was panned by his fellow gays and Beyonce stans, he still isn’t buying what she’s selling. Go google now because of course you won’t believe me… The statement was made after Britney and Madonna (and Christina but who cares about her) kissed.

the overall show was great!

ne-yo did his thing… i must admit!

pink and sarah mcclachlan was another stand out performance…

rihanna gave another lackluster performance. even with an amazing song such as rehab and unmatched style it doesn’t mean a thing when you can’t put on a good show. i mean… i’m still a fan but she needs to get it together forreal.

um… mariah, leona, and that taylor swift need to sit down… FOREVER

MUTHAFUCKA HHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTEEEE THE QUEEN!! THAT’S WHY SHE PULLED UP THAT PONYTAIL CUZ SHE WAS BASICALLY SAYING…”YUP, I’M TAHT BITCH, AND WHAT???” HA!! HA!! HA!! SHE GOT YOU HATERS ON HERE PISSING ON YOURSELVES. I LOVE IT!!

THAT*

Beyonce was same ol same ol nothing special

Mariah did really good and #5 if you opened your eyes you would have seen that Nick was helping her down the stairs.

Kanye was…… you know what…. i really dont know anymore… im begnning to think hes loosing it, or am i the only one who thinks this??

Rihanna was good her vocals are improving with each preformance ole girl is a working progress.

@47 Yeah well if she is a legend I guess Alicia Keys, Brandy, and Rihanna are legends and of course that Mary J. Blige was already a legend.

#17

I agree-though I liked Bee’s performace she pretty much performed the video live.
