  8. MRSJONES3

  9. Shoe Diva

  10. dale23

    X-MAS IN HELL?? what???

  11. OOOH NASTY

    Is that girl from Vanessa & Angela’s show? I don’t watch it. I feel her for stepping out on her own, you don’t want to be known as ‘you know the girl who hangs out with…’

  12. luv

    riri look so bad………..cum on wat the fuck with da dress……she need makeup on
    with out it she not cute 2 me.

  13. alcee

    I love black eyed peas…I am not feeling rhianna’s get up..the whole look is tired (in my opinion) and I just hate it when ppl are like “omg angel…find out where she got her look from” like any one on here (including myself) can afford to spend a thousand on some shoes..solange looks okay..we see your shoes girl..you can put that leg down…and i absolutely heart janelle monae…fantasia always looks a hot ghetto mess to me..fergie looks hot!

  14. alcee

    i take my comment back..fantasia actually looks pretty on the pics

  15. Boyz II Men just isn’t the same without my boy Mike.

  16. wow

    Solange is beautiful and very tall! I love her! Janelle is sooooooooooc cute its not even funny and plus she is short lol

    This is Rihanna without her hairstylist has done some work on hee head, hot mess; she is falling in my book, fake as hell. Without clothes and hair and make up where is her actual talent?

  17. kennedi

    That Alycia girl is skinny as hell…!!

  18. jjj (The Original jjj)

    OMG Rihanna looks so cute!!!!!!

  19. meme

    Jesus how tall is solange…or how short is Janae

    BTW im not a fan of Janae for some reason.

    Rihanna looks like rihanna. which is a good thing

  20. Lol….Solange looks like me standing next to my homegirls. Yeah Janelle has to be like 5 foot even.

    Love Fantasia but her arm tatts are so not cute

    Whoa… where they find Boyz to Men at??

    @13… Please speak for yourself. I hate how people think everyone on CL is broke or middle-class.

  21. Babatunde

    @ My V-O-T-E mattered

    Boyz II Men just isn’t the same without my boy Mike.

    ____________________________________________

    I have to agree. He was my favorite.

  22. dale23

    WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON PIC #7 ????

    …………..AND YALL SAY CIARA IS TOO SKINNY????

    THEN THIS CHICK IS PRETTY SICK!!!

  23. meme

    HOLD ON NOW….STOP THE TRACK LET ME STATE FACTS:

    WHAT DA FUK IS DAT ON FANTASIA HAND? I KNOW THEY AINT TATTOOES. GOD MAN, SHE IS JUST TO GHETTO. YOU REALLY THINK MONEY WOULD CLASS UP SOME PPL BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAKES SOME PEOPLE MORE GHETTO

  24. OOOH NASTY

    @Alcee
    Dang why such a negative attitude! Being that I already admitted I most likely can’t afford the shoes/boots I know you can’t be talking to me. But Alcee what if people need that for inspiration to work harder. No not just buying expensive shoes but buying or striving for something they want. See like me for instance, I am not a label whore but I would just love to be able to go into a store to get what I want, whether it’s $5.00 or $5000.00. Everything is not always so cut and dry.

  25. Oh and can I just say that Angel you are making my Friday @ work THE BOMB with all the updates today!!

  26. BAM BANG

    I see the haters didnt acknowledge Fantasia looking super good!!!!!!!
    Slimmed and trimmed but still oh so juicy!!!!
    I love thick sexy hood chicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I didnt like Solange with her long face but with age she is starting to fill out body wise. I like’em tall too. imma keep an eye on her.

    Rhi Rhi just don’t do it for the kid.
    too damn skinny and her music isYUCK .

  27. Solange is crazy man.
    i luv her!!!!!
    those shoes is hurtin’ me so!!!
    they are soooo FIERCE!

  28. MONRAEA

    Whoa..Solonge is a big girl. She is small framed yet tall. I can’t wait to see her next pose.lol No, she’s cute and has her own style. She has some pretty big shoes to fill. Everybody is expecting her to do just as well if not better than Beyonce. Poor girl, it’s hard trying to be yourself.

    I see a lot of business being conducted at this gathering. I can’t wait to see the camio’s and features on upcoming projects this will bring.

  29. queen tee

    fantasia do ur thing represent us thick women!! we are just too fine!! haters fall back!!

  30. no thank you

    solange is 5’7 tops (w/ heels on) she ain’t that tall. Janelle just really really short. I heard she was 4’11.

  31. MATT

    DUDE I KNO THAT SONG IS SOO THAT OLD DUDES… IT AINT NOTHIN BUT A CHICKEN WING.. NO MUSIC IS FRESH NOW ADAYS…. GET OVA BOTHS YALLS… PEACE TO THE PEOPLE FROM 1920′S THA ORGINALS

  32. Greatestloveofall

    BEP are PLAIN WACK to me, ever since that horse Fergie joined them. They were cool before that. But when she joined they went on some bubblegum pop route.

  33. iamadiva

    ole girl isn’t eating up the oxygen in this thread, how nice.

  34. NaJaDā

    Everytime I see Fantasia she looks ghetto-er with all those stinking tattoos! I have 5 myself but they don’t lok like that scribble she got going on. Yuk!

  35. bassackwards

    I cosign w/#21 everyone is not broke and i’m pretty tall myself.

  36. sue reps for jamaica

    Solange that dam shoe dazzling my eye lol!!
    Rhi looking good as ALWAYS!! she never misses!!!hmmm chris not with her…
    tasia girl not like that tattoo-ed up look at all
    fergie rock the newly married look.. love black eye peas
    everyone else looking good

  37. AGAIN!!!

    Fanny is my girl. She is doing a great job and becoming a very smart business woman when necessary she covers up the tats.
    I saw her perform recently and could not see them, and you sure have nto seen her lately because her body is on point, she is very toned and looking good.
    You go Tasia and make good music in those studios girl.
    Let the haters talk, I heard you got a better deal from Oprah.
    I can’t afford to see you at Kennedy Center but I am going to try to catch you in Atlanta. Got to!!!
    It is obvious this girl does not give a dam what you say I have been following her and (I don’t either), closely and what I have come to know and observe about her makes me very proud. she is a wonderful role model. I don’t even pay the tats any mind anymore because I know what she has really been up too.
    Thick..WRONG!!!! again.
    God bless you and your family Fantasia and keep up the good work.

  38. Reply @#37

    That so call scribble is her Moms name whom she loves dealrly and highly respects. She covers them when in serious situations she is just hanging out now and just being real.I understand you got to be real.
    Fantasia is really god people and has a heart of gold what she recently did has truly blessed me. Go Fantasia. I wish you and your family the best.
    Yes, I too say God bless you and your lovely family.
    THIS GIRL IS DOING SOMETHING POSITIVEA WITH HER LIFE AND BLESSING OTHERS AND HER PEOPLE HAVE HER BACK…the tats are no longer an issue.
    Think about something positive to say and go out an be half the blessing that she is.

    You always blowing up people how they look but what are they really doing to help others that you know.
    Fantasia has a heart of gold. God has your back!!!

  39. Phillyfashionista

    They’re really white washing Ri-Ri. I guess there’s more money in that.

  40. Lisa

    I think the alycia is beautiful and has a great body she a young. lol alycia from Daddy girls

  41. industry3

    I recently spoke with Fantasia, yo are absolutely clueless about her. This young lady is truly a force to be reckoned with, very smart,hardworker and very serious about her music.
    She is finally happy in her skin and committed to giving to doing her very best to please her fans,s he totally ignores her haters and she loves what she is doing and is very generous.
    She knows that some of you don’t like her tats, but she doesn’t care because she knows you are nto her real fan base, she KNOWS who her friends are and she may or not read this.She is so busy and does not have the time.
    She posed like this so you would talk, she has been down this road so many times with whatever you see is what you comment and and I co-sign the girl is looking real good.

  42. Qudoubleen

    Fantasia looks nice

  43. whateve

    rihanna’s outfit is just not doing it for me its cute but she should have worn something different to a benefit.. it looks like something u wear to the mall!!!

  44. Xann

    Rihanna looks fab.
    I hope she and Slash are discussing doing a collabo together that would be insanely coool.

  45. alright

    To the Fanny stans, fall back and go get your girl some mental help!
    Them tattoo’s are not ladylike at all she looks a mess and i don’t care what yall say she is a hot mess.

  46. ItsJustMyOpinion(So Screw You)

    Awwww Rihanna looks so pretty and that dress is super fly but wheres the talent?
    I guess being pretty and stylish is the new talent in the music buiz nowadays….
    Ummm what is Fergie wearing..look like a garbage wraped with a red belt…not cute.
    But I still love her because she can be madd fly especially on the mic ;)
    Love me some Nikka Costa
    Janelle Monae=REAL FIERCE TALENT. Her voice is soooo raw. Truly Gifted.
    Solange, I love her f*ck-you-this-is-me-style….gotta luv it.

  47. question...

    Question: Where’s all the political posts on concreteloop?? There used to be 5 a day about Obama, and now that he’s f-ing up all over the place there’s no posts!? Can you say BIAS???? I expected more from this website.

  48. WOW oh WOW

    Everyone looks okay.

    Dont know about Rhianna, she dresses like she is a kid… and she is starting to become BLAH – Yuck and slutty in my book. But that’s just me.

    Solange. I actually like her. I think her and rihanna have similar styles its just that, I think that is solange’s actual style… aka she has always been different, where as Rihanna was told to dress like that.. in other words its not honesty.. When she came out she was trying to be like Beyonce and now she is punk. sickening to me

  49. TESSA

    @ 49 THEY DONT POST THE POLOTICS SHIT UP HERE EVERY DAY!
    THIS AINT CNN HEAD OVER THERE IF U WANT YO UP TO DATE NEWS THIS IS A CELEB BLOG

    ANYWAYS FERIGE AND SOLANGE LOOKS CUTE NO FELLIN RIHANNA OUTFIT LOOK CHEAP LOVE HER SHOES THO

  50. Beau T. Full

    Question…check out the top of the web page and click “Politics.” CL reports the good, bad, and ugly on Obama and anyone else (white, black, red). The last bad on Obama was yesterday!

  51. Don't Be Churlish...[I'm back ho']

    @7..

    Co-Sign. And the skulls are so 2007, they are out of style but clearly Rihanna didn’t get the memo. She stays rocking it like she’s the hottest shit, which she clearly is not.

    Solange is definitely getting more attractive by age, but that cheesy white girl pose needs to be discarded ASAP.

    Love Janelle Monae & Fergie.

  52. SugarhoneyIcedtea

    Everybody looked nice

  53. HALCYONC

    LOVE YOU FANNY!!

  54. LAFAYETTE LOUISIANA'S FINEST RED BONE

    WAS RHIANNA BORN A MALE? I DON’T KNOW…BUT SHE HAS A SUPER LONG TORSO AND A HUUUGGGEE HEAD! SHE LOOKA LIKE A MAN TO ME.

  55. HALCYONC

    Solange tries way too hard.

  56. HALCYONC

    Janelle needs to change her style. Doesn’t she get bored?

  57. NOT A FANNY STAN

    I am a grown mature adult and not anyones stan.
    But it seems to me that this young lady whom you seem to be so negative about is not what you all try tomake her seem.When I saw her on Broadway, The Lincoln Center and even when I attended the UNCF Patti Tribute, I did not see what you see. I don’t care about the tatoos but as a performer she is the tops and it appears to me she is not trying to take a free ride this young lady seems to be putting in the work.

    Its mighty funny you all keep hating on her and being negative and she is stilll standing and the people whom i have spoken to that know her seem to like her.

    By the way I would defend my own daughter this same way, you all are haters and she looks great to me she is not on drugs out here being dumb and it seems she is honors her parents and helps others what have you done with your life.

    I hate a buch of negative ass black folks, you expect whites to be so.

  58. HALCYONC

    The Knowles women no matter what they wear always come of as pageant girls.

  59. Who Me?

    @ Reply to 37

    I am not saying that Fantasia does not do anything positive, don’t misunderstand me. What I am saying is that those tats are a ghetto mess! Like I said. I have five myself AND I work at the corporate office for a company, but all of mine can be covered up. A lady can have tattoos and still be tasteful with it. She wants to rep her mother. I get that, but you don’t have to be outlandish with it either. She wants to go back to school and get her degree; good for her. Fortunately for her she has a profession that allows her to look a mess. Really though, pull your head out of her butt for a minute and think how many people would take her seriously in a corporate enviornment or any regular job for that matter,with that scribble scratch all over her arms and legs. I ♥ to hear her sing because the girl can do that. Am I a hater, no. Will you and other’s think I am, probably. Do I care, you bet I don’t. Am I entitiled to my opinion, yup. I’m just saying you can still maintain a level of class, even with the tats. I do it every day.

    Peace and blessings to you too, sweetie.
