LMFAO @ #12. about Ryan. I love his music…but I swear he reminds me of Shock G aka Mr. Humpty Hump himself…from Digital Underground.

23.

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Wow…a positive post about Black Women doing there own thing in a male-dominated industry and the first comment has to be a nasty opinion…from a sistah no doubt. amazing.

24.

whatsgoingon

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Get em girls!! All so fly in their own ways.

25.

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Pam Grier DAMN this is my girl right here!!! Shes what 60 now? Still looks so good. Black dont crack.

That is NOT Vanessa L. Williams (from Ugly Betty), that’s Vanessa A. Williams.

It’s a shame that more of these beautiful sisters dont have men with them. All them black NBA/NFL dudes got women (usually non-black), but no one dating or married to these chicks :(

27.

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Yea, Black Girls DO Rock! Glad they’re taking notice! LOL

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Faith is not looking so great…..

29.

black is beautiful, period

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Can’t believe people always have negative things to say. In re: to the comments about Estelle, you must not be so sure about your own self if the first thing you have to publicly post is your opinion about her looks. I am sure that you’re one who strives to “be” while she already “is.”

30.

I support, SUPPORT! lol

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Gotta love beautiful black women!

31.

Vanessa..hunny you are not goin to some local club in the hood….ma-ma…you can do better….

32.

lakechia

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Maybe if the movie Cadillac Records had been an independent film, MARSHA AMBROISHUS could have played Etta James role. She looks more fitting fro the part.

Ryan Leslie is a total mouth-breather.

33.

JAYE

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

That is not Vanessa L. Williams, that’s Vanessa A. Williams…Vanessa L. is the light-skinned one! I would think ya’ll would know the difference by now!

34.

NOT EASILY IMPRESSED

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

I want that YSL jewelry Erykah has on!!! Estelle has the biggest eyes…they’re gorgeous! Everybody else looks nice…

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

Erykah Is gorgeous facially,her outfits are her own as we all know by now.Unique,unpredictable,and different.It must feel good to not give a damn what others think of you.

43.

yumyo

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

I disagree with some of the comments about Estelle.

I think she’s pretty. Its just that the blue eyeshadow isn’t doing her justice.

44.

#15, u are so right abouþ R. Les lookin like Humpty! I thought the same thing when I first started seeing him. Malinda’s hair has been looking good since Soul Food.

48.

theHotness Grrrl

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

I was there and the awards were, in three words, FAB-U-LOUS! The reason Faith is dressed in jeans is because she was asked at the very last moment to fill in for Roy Ayers. She just happened to be in town and did BGR a huge favor. She didn’t have rehearsal time with the band and she said she didn’t even have time to run out and buy a cute outfit. She rocked her set like a pro and like she and the band were tight. I give her mad props for coming through the way she did. And if you thought everyone looked nice you should have heard their speeches. So inspiring! I will blog about it tomorrow on uptownlife.net. Peace!

49.

rite ON!!!

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

LET ME JUST SAY THAT BLACK GURLS ROCK! HA!

ANYWAYS, #39 YEA SHE MAY NOT BE THE CUTEST OF THEM ALL BUT U GOT TO ADMIT SHE STILL FLY AS SHYT THOUGH! SO IS EB IN EVERYTHING SHE DO EVEN DO AIN’T NO BODY SEEN HER LIKE THAT. LOL!

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

@32 even better, FAITH should have played Etta! That would have been perfect casting. I think there real lives are very similar, Faith is an around the way girl to the fullest.

Monday, November 3, 2008 /

How fitting, to come into a post about positivity towards women of color…and spout off something negative about Estelle. *big ass eye-roll*

Those shoes look like they hurt your feet at the end of the night, Erykah.

n-e-ways

BLACK GIRLS ROCK!

57.

I am the last person to be star struck…BUT If I saw Iman walking down the street, I’d trip over myself over and over. She is so STUNNING and it seems she gets more beautiful with time!

Most everyone looks decent…LOL @ Erykah’s silly ass hat. I love that crazy chick.

Yeah, Black girls do rock, really love Estelle’s style always have like this regal look going on, but can’t say that i am to crazy about the eye make up here, but i normally like her make up, always flawless, and i see June Ambrose has went under the knife and had a little rhinoplasty.

“To everyone ……. She is ugly And if you have a problem with my OPINION.. You can kiss my Caramel ASS……”
The fact that you have to go there “my Caramel Ass” is a revelation of the insecure self-hating inferiority complex that you are burdened with. Here’s hoping, for your sake, that you encounter a fantastic skin bleaching product.

does teyana’s album even have a release date?

how does she still get invited to stuff?

73.

Q.Deon

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /

beauty is in the eye of the beholder…azzhloes

estelle may NOT b attractive to YOU, but i find her beautiful…& she ALWAYS serves when she comes out: sick fits, sick shoes, & I don’t even think she has a stylist, she just knows HOW to dress…which so many other celebrities still haven’t mastered on their own.

big ups to estelle

74.

76.

Really

Wednesday, November 5, 2008 /

I’m sorry but Estelle is butt ugly to me. I will say she’s real talented but her album was not good also.

77.

Wednesday, November 5, 2008 /

Just goes to show you that you can get a room full of black women together and see ’bout as many different shades, styles, and personalities as there are women in the room. Every single one of them is beautiful in her own way. I ain’t mad at ‘em. I’m always in favor of any event that celebrates us instead of tearing us down like we’re less than others.

Oh, and If the first thing that comes to your mind when you see something like this is how easy or not so easy you think someone is on the eyes in the words of Big Momma and ‘em: “If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.”
In other words “Chick stop hatin, shut up and get a fuggin life!”

Anyways,

I always thought Regina and Vanessa were always waaaaayyyy underrated.

Estelle, do you babygirl. You’re talented. You’re stylish. You’re beautiful. You don’t feed into what any of the haters got to say. Oh plus it don’t hurt that your azz is paid too. lol.

Melinda I’mma need you to slide the card of whoever did the cut girl ’cause it’s definately fierce.

Faith, what’s really good? How long you gonna keep us waiting? I mean really.

Erykah, LOL. WTF. Gotta luv it though.

Marsha, the new look is just lovely.loving that length on you.

Ms. Taylor, always so elegant and demure.

Finally, Ms. Grier and Ms.Iman I only hope that 25, 30 years from now I am as beautiful, and radiant as are the two of you.

Oh and haters I meant what I said about getting a fuggin life.
Trust me, you’ll feel so much better.

Estelle is cute! And i really like the theme song she did for snoop’s fatherhood!

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 /

What is going on with Susan Taylor’s hairline?

Erykah has a beautiful face but the outfit is not working for me

Regina looks great apart from her tits.

Faith looks like she just woke up.

Vanessa L Williams always looks so young. How is that possible when she’s been around since New Jack City?

83.

DymeChief

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 /

You gotta hand it to Estelle. She is living proof that you can be fugly, have a busted-up grill, skinny ashy legs and fucked up dress sense and have a mediocre voice and STILL get ahead …. as long as you can give good head. ;)

84.

Chike Evans

Monday, November 17, 2008 /

Some of yall were being a lil rough on Faye! She is in the middle of her book tour. She did this set on a last minute request. She did not have time to prepare, she basically went it cold. She does not look her best in the photo but she rocked her set. She is a musical professional. I think the fact that she is not actively on the scene nor does she have an album in circulation right now says alot about her talent that they came to her and asked her to perform.
I love the fact that they are doing this whole award ceremony. I wish this was something that was televised. It would have been nice to see such performers in action. Marsha and Bilal are also vague from the scene as well….. WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS!!! All those that performed are missed!!!!

85.

she is

Monday, November 17, 2008 /

Erykah is a clown, i abhor her sense of style…
