The show was really boring. I think the performance by Smokey Robinson, Neyo, and Jamie was one of the best. T.I. and Justin did good as well.

Awards always go to the people who don’t really deserve them.

Didn’t see Whitney but I heard she didn’t seem quiet all together, hopefully she gets it together, (not necessarily for her music) but for herself and her family before its too late.

WTF IS GOIN ON

Monday, February 9, 2009 /

NOBODY CARES ABOUT BEYONCE DANG IF SHE WAS GOIN 2 PERFORM IM SURE IT WOULD BE SUMTHIN WE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN SO GO WATCH A U TUBE VIDEO!!!

I love this website! I get to see the Black perspective. Grammy’s was a bit boring 2 me until I saw Kayne performance. Kayne and Estelle did great. Kayne could’ve gotten rid of the mullet..like yuck. Everyone else did and looked great of course Jennifer did her thang…that goes w/o saying.

I heard audio from the “Rap Pack” performance and it sounded like nothing special.
I heard the whole show was kind of whack! I just wanted to see J. Hud perform!

EVERYONE FOR THE MOST PART LOOKED NICE. LOVE LETOYA’S DRESS AND KEYSHIA COLE’S TOO. JHUD LOOKED NICE AS WELL AND THE QUEEN’S MAKEUP WAS JUST FLAWLESS AS ALWAYS. WHY WAS SOLANGE EVEN THERE? WHITNEY = FAB.

PERFORMANCES:
JHUD- KILLED IT WITH OR WITHOUT THE TRAGEDY THAT LADY CAN SANG.

“FOUR TOPS TRIBUTE”- GREAT

SWAGGER LIKE US- WOULD’VE LIKED IT BETTER WITH JUST M.I.A. SEEMED LIKE THE GUYS WERE JUST COMPETING FOR POPULARITY AND BEST RAPPER ACCOLADES. JAY LOOKED TOO OLD OUT THERE. GO SIT DOWN PLZ AND JUST DO BEHIND THE SCENES WORK.

SUGARLAND AND ADELE -DIDN’T KNOW THAT LADY COULD BLOW LIKE THAT! THE WORDS TO THAT SONG IS GOOD TOO. ADELE, LOVE HER VOICE.

JONAS BROTHERS N STEVIE- THEY SCREWED UP STEVIE’S SONGS.

AL GREEN AND JUSTIN- THEY COULD’VE LET AL DO HIS OWN THING.

I WISH J SULLIVAN COULD HAVE PERFORMED.

I MUST SAY THAT JENNIFERS PRESENCE AT THE GRAMMY’S NEARLY MADE ME CRY; FROM HER ACCEPTANCE SPEECH TO HER PERFORMANCE..THEY SHOWED HER A LOT OF LOVE THERE. M.I.A’S WHOLE PERFORMANCE WAS LIP SYNC..BUT I THOUGHT SHE LOOKED ADORABLE. THE SWAGGER LIKE US PERFORMANCE ITSELF, WAS NOTHING SPECIAL AND I DIDN’T SEE HOW IT WAS NECESSARY TO GIVE THEM A STANDING OVATION, ESP. WHEN KANYE AND ESTELLE PERFORMED (ANOTHER “WHATEVER” PERFORMANCE). WHITNEY LOOKED AMAZING AND I WAS JUST PUSHING FOR HER NOT TO MESS UP OR EMBARRASS HERSELF..BUT I DON’T THINK THE SLURRY WAS THAT BAD..EVIDENT..BUT IT WASN’T A BIG THING HOW PEOPLE ARE MAKING IT SEEM. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SOUNDED VERY NICE WHEN HE PERFORMED WITH AL GREEN AND AS USUAL, AL GREEN (I MEAN REV. AL GREEN) SOUNDED ON POINT. KATY PERRY WAS THE LOW POINT OF THE EVENING..I LITERALLY THOUGHT TO MYSELF..IS THIS CHICK ON DRUGS? IT WAS A HORRIBLE AND DITZY PERFOMANCE.

86.

LOVELY

Monday, February 9, 2009 /

AWARDS SHOWS ARE BORING WITHOUT BEYONCE OR RHIANNA’S BEAT UP ASS …DAMN ANYWAYS ESTELLE IS UGLY AND DON’T GIVE ME THAT I’M SAYING IT BECAUSE SHE’S DARK SKINNED BULLSHIT BECAUSE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT WHEN COMPARING HER TO NAOMI CAMPBELL THEN YOU GET MY POINT! SHE IS JUST UGLY

i have a conclusion, FIRST OF ALL THE BET AWARDS and tHEN THE MTV AWARDS AND NOW THE GRAMMYS I SWEAR WHEN BEYONCE IS NOT THERE ITS LIKE THERE IS A BIG ASS LACK AND RATINGS FALL! It was so boring that th best performance was radiohead, coldplay and then swagga like us real talk; damn only one person can save an entire show wow, like she and AK did with the AMAs

Beyoncé doesnt mess with shitty awards now, she was rehearsing with her tour, still foccussed…

Now JHUD looked beautiful and made me cry however, this woman is not complety ready to face everything, I know she tries her best to work to forget all this but calm down Jen, full recovery first, she is VERY STRONG THOUGH. Her album as much as I love her didnt deserve a grammy, thats sympathy award. Her performance, all I heard was screams and no word, but it was touching.

Whitney still on some substances.

Solange, beautiful. SO SAD THE GRAMMYS DONT RECOGNIZE HER TALENT AND ALBUM.

JAY-z looked fly, Kanye & estelle hot azz mess

Lil wayne ssooooooooooooooooo overrated I can believe this

T.I. enjoy ur last days of freedom

Fantasia needs to cut those ghetto ass nails and do something for those tats, I swear this girl was made to be a cast in the baby boy movie. SMH

Could care less about the others.

i’m with 71 i enjoyed the whole show……only problems for me was whitney being a lil on something,j.sullivan not winning anything and bey not performing….

weezy and nivea been back together since like oct or nov or last year…he be all on her facebook telling her he love her….i like them as a couple…

chris and riri…smgdh…idk what to say,i’m shocked,this was really random and i dont get it

swagga like us performance was hottt!!! loved it,and i loved wayne performance,and adele can sing her ass off…it pissed me off all the british folk was taking home awards and winning….robin thicke did that shit he sounded so good……and the four tops tribute was nice as well….and i liked the t.i and justin performance also….maybe its just me but hell i liked the show….also happy for coldplay and i think that it was cool when jay turned up to perform with chris martin….im not a huge huge fan of jay but i think that his swag was on point last night…M.I.A is a fool i love her,she had me lmao!……it was a tough ass crowd last night though lol

So Jazmine and MIA didn’t win awards, but that horrible Adele did?? Please she is a boring 2nd rate Dido, and isn’t saying much.

oh and carrie ass went hard!!!!! i loved her performance,that girl know she can sing,i guess she the bad girl of country,thats how all country should sound to me!!

Poor Nivea bought her desperate ass to the show. Bey didn’t show up because she would have gotten upstaged again by the beautiful Jennifer Hudson. I wished she was there so the cameras can zoom in on Bey while her face gets cracked. Estelle needs an emergency stylist. Good looking people are of course Jennifer, Whitney, Solange and Fantasia.

I LOVE THE PICS
J.HUD has to be one of the MOST strongest women Ive ever seen,
She won the first grammy of the night and she composed herself so greatly.
I found strength in her.

95.

Lil Wayne & Nivea…
i guess…
Weezy str8 I was happy he was sober last night
but Nivea..i just dnt knw
I know she loves him and all but how u divorce your husband then go back to your ex
I know its hard and you cnt help who you love but damn she went hardcore with that shit.

Ok-was it just me or did Kanye look like an ex member of the “Jackson 5″ with that shiny @$$ silver “Off the Wall” jacket on and that hairstyle?? Enjoyed his performance with Estelle. I’m really pissed that Justin Timberlake got front and center with Al Green while Boyz to Men were used literally as back-up singers! Allison Krause’s winning formula for the past 5 years has been to do a duet album with some has-been artist. Does she have any Grammy’s solo? I hate to admit to liking Katy Perry’s performance of “I kissed a girl”….so I won’t-lol. I think it was ridiculous to put the Jonas Brothers on the same stage as Stevie Wonder, but whateva. Jennifer Hudson looked stunning and sounded even better! Whitty Hutton (you old “Martin” fans know the joke) looked and sounded completely sedated, and as much as I don’t dig Kid Rock, he put on a good show. Who was that bloated Adele chic who beat out Jazmine Sullivan? This year’s Grammy’s should have been called the “Britty’s” since most of the people presenting and accepting awards had the accents of Londontown. I can’t believe Jazmine Sullivan was shut out of every category. Hope she didn’t go home and bust windows out her man’s car. You see what happened to Rihanna…..DON’T DO IT!!! Nah, seriously, if Chris Brown did that, he needs a good prison rape! Bye

Yes I AGREE. solange was the best dressed. she looks very striking. props to her keeping it simple this time.

Carrie Underwood did DAMN good…shes a great live performer
Rap Pack- it was pretty cool..i do think they were yelln their words a bit
MIA- Im not even mad at her…lol..her dancing during the song was funny as hell
J.Hud- DAMN Good
Adele- Loved her
Al. G & Justin- pretty good
JoBros. & Stevie- Individually they were GREAT but its hard to sing a Stevie song even when ure on the stage WITH STEVIE..
Miley Cyrus & Taylor Swift- Sucked they need to go back to high school
I wonder what happend to the gospel/christian categories
and other categories!!!!

I see Lil Wayne is back with the Nieva who he said he shouldn’t have never let go. It looks like she forgave that dude for dumping her & marrying his babymama!!

Everybody looks nice!

SWAGGA LIKE THESE 4 GUYS

Monday, February 9, 2009 /

I just want to say that all looks great 2 me
and to My People please stop hating on all
of the performers and guest I am so happy for all of them
I’m proud of Jennifer Hudson, she looks like she lost weight
Where was Beyonce and why was Solange sitting with her
brother-in law and still no Beyonce, Tiny trying to step her
game up, she must have been informed of what you people
say about her; anyway Keyshia is doing her thing, I just wish
she would stop showing her ghetto family on TV so she can get a relevant
endorsement like Covergirl and Loreal instead of being on a box perm.
I am not hating just stating the facts, there is nothing wrong with the truth
except it hurts.

btw…I forgot to mention that the perfomance by Kanye, Jay Z, Lil’ Wayne, and T.I. was stellar, so happy to see Wayne and Nivea back together I wish they would have never broke up.

By the way Jay Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and T.I are the new Rat Pack, please don’t get affended if you know anything about Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. then you would know about the Rat Pack.

Lil Wayne really should stick w/ his babymomma. I feel niveas a golddigger..win she had just got out of the divorce w/ dream she ran back to Wayne & now all of sudden she wants to try n make music. I smell a golddigger…I mean it’s my opinion. & now they trying 2 say Wayne’s married? I don’t believe so because he wore a ring on the IAMMUSIC TOUR and some pics he had his left hand covered with a glove then at the CashMoney Grammy party honoring him he didn’t have a ring on at all. I don’t know what it up? The Grammy’s wasn’t all that either. Almost Everybody Is saying the same thing.

J. Hud. brought a tear to my eye with her performance. That girl can SANG, for real! Love how she thanked her family “in heaven” and those still here, in her acceptance speech.
Whitney honestly made me cringe. I think she’s off the crack, but she was definitely on something last night. Maybe one too many drinks before the Grammys? Her presentation reminded me a bit of the late Anna Nicole Smith, which is not a good thing. I hope for Whitney’s sake that it was just an “off” night for her.
“Swagga Like Us” was the best performance of the night. It was cool to see the “Rap Pack” performing together on stage. And I love me some M.I.A.!! (Her song “Paper Planes” is the bizness!) I heard that Grammy night was actually the due date for her baby!
I enjoyed Kanye and Estelle’s performance as well.

Monday, February 9, 2009 /

Gotta agree wit ashley though Nivea does look a hot mess. when she tacky she don’t look as pretty and when she try to match she still look bad. & wayne look like a midget monkey..but him & nivea…i don’t think it’ll last, but u neva know. Like he say, “he don”t last as long in relationships because his daughter don’t approve of them and if she don’t approve he don’t either…” everybody knows the only woman that girl gone approve of her daddy being w/ is her momma, duh! He gone end up going right back to his highschool sweetheart & leavin golddiggin Nivea behind, after she done probably dog his ass out for sum tracks like she did the dream.

I was so proud of Jennifer. She almost made me tear up too. Whitney looked great, but she is still kooky as all get out, The Rap Pack and M.I.A. were the highlight of the nite along with Jennifer. Overall the show was pretty boring.

Whitney looked amazing, and she seemed absolutely fine,so I don’t understand
why is everybody hatin’ on her. I am so glad to see her back!
Jennifer looked beautiful as well, and I am so proud of her for being so strong.
She deserved more than that one grammy, but it’s o.k. Both Whitney and
Jennifer are back and seem to be on top of their game.

Everyone looks beautiful. I think that Jennifer H. deserved to cry. This is an emotional period and she has got to be more emotional than viewed. She has made every performance. She is a real trooper cause as tuff as I think I am, I couldn’t hold it together after all of the drama & hurt.
