UMMM YEAH… IF I WERE IN VEGAS I WOULD PASS ON THIS SHOW. NOT HATING, BUT NOT FEELING EITHER ONE. I’M SO OVER JAY THIS TIME AROUND….. *yawn*
ONE THING..I KNOW THIS DOESN’T RELATE TO THE TOPIC.. BUT WHY IS RIHANNA IN VEGAS WITH JAY??? BTW CI CI & JAY ARE BOTH GREAT ENTERTAINERS.
You know I thought I was the only one that felt that way about Jay. Just not really feeln him.
Work it, Ci Ci!
I LOVE JAY Z!! HE’S THE BEST LIVE PERFORMER EVER!!
BLUEPRINT 3 in stores 9/11
# yes..rihanna went to the concert too. Rihanna is such a hova supporter. She came out on Friday and yesterday to support the Jigga man. Love it!!
article:
King LeBron James parties fourth of July holiday in Las Vegas, Nevada at TAO Beach and LAVO Nightclub. (…) The party didn’t stop at TAO Beach. James made his way to the nightclub and restaurant in the Palazzo named LAVO. First, he had seen the Jay-Z concert at Palms and then needed to get his party on. Near midnight the superstar arrived with his protégé Rihanna and a large group of 30! The star studded evening grew when Jay-Z had dinner with the group, too! The group felt the vibe and danced in the dining room with the beats from Michael Jackson. Jay-Z toasted his birthday last night with a delicious caked and thanked his manager John Meneilly with shots of Patron. Rihanna wore a black pencil skirt, white tank top and fashionable black heels. (…) The larger group, now with Jay-Z, Rihanna and about 50, sat in front of the DJ booth. The super stars stayed near each other during the entire
Well i heard it was an Amazing show. Fabolous is also performing. If i was able i would go.
@Blah, blah, blah.. i guess since he’s like her “Big brother”. People can believe that if they want to.. or maybe things start off innocent. But that chick aint related to him soooo anything could go down, w/ Vegas and alcohol. All i’m saying is i wouldn’t be confortable about my husband taking such an interest in a girl who doesn’t need to be parading around everywhere wanting attention, seems like she would go home to her country for a WHILE.
I do not like Jay Z! I used to be a fan but as I got older, I started to really listen to the things he was sayin and I dont like his “message” and i def dont like his attitude…but thats just my opinion. Ciara looks nice, I always wanted to give her a chance in concert! I have heard she wasnt too good but then i heard she was. Either way, I want to see her perform
um jayz n ciara? what an odd couplin for a concert. they don’t even compliment the each other!
(
@Michelle Ciara is just the opening act. Why is that odd? and between jay is going on a huge tour in the FALL!
i would love to go to a Jay-z concert. I heard it was an amazing concert. Everyone came out Lebron, Rihanna, Pussycat dolls..etc.
Go CiCi go CiCi go
Am back in this mutha. Left because of those stupid ads.
Thanks for putting MJ back on. I wouldn’t mind even a blank background just not those liquor ish.
Ciara is flex much. Jay can hova back to NY for all I care.
I ABSOLUTELY HATE JAY-Z, WHEN YOU RETIRE, THAT MEANS YOU DONT RETURN TO THE EMPLOYMENT YOUR DOING AND STOP WORKING COMPETELY!!! WHAT PART OF THAT DOESNT HE UNDERSTAND!
GLAD ANGEL RETURNED TO THE MJ BACKGROUND, I KNOW THE WHOLE CL COMMUNTIY WAS IN UPROAR, FOR REMOVING IT!
Who is going on tour with him in the fall? Mary was a big reason why his last tour was so successful.
I thought he retired!!! Was on tour last year and again this year!!! Enough!!! Gave my ticket away for last year’s tour with Mary!!! About done with him!!! Rap concerts are wack anyway with dudes walking back and forth across an arena stage. Better rap shows at small venues. More intimate.
Not sure If I would want to see Jay. I bought a Beyonce tickets for tonight and now I am trying to sell mine my brother’s GF sold her’s already.. and it’s not even sold out.
@7.
TrueSoul……..
Well Since Jay is a near 40yr old married man (to Beyonce @ that) and Rihanna is a young 21yr old i would think there realtionship goes no further than Bro and Sis since Beyonce herself is comfortble with Rihanna, Shes been in there house lol its def a family relationship.
Now being that he’s touring with Ciara that would be more of a scandal….niether Bee or jay are that close with her soo….
And far as Ciara…I Like her Hair and glasses, Wont say anything else lol
Love Hov but DOA ain’t it.
The vid is cool tho
Like Ciara but plz boo more
dancing & less singing.
Overall their concert doesn’t look like
anything special
@ #1 & #3
I feel the same way too. Jay doesn’t do for me either. I haven’t checked him since The Blueprint 1. (His best album IMO)
You guys really believe this brother/sister act! Bey don’t give a damn a RIRI…she is not her friend or her play sister! Remember when RIRI won the the award for the song “Umbrella” featuring Jay-z and basically begged Jay to get on stage with her and he would not leave Bey’s side and Bey was looking at RIRI like step off…you whore and get your own man! They were brother and sister then…so why was he not showing her brotherly love by accepting the award with her! RIRI ws pulling Jay’s arm and he would not leave that seat…so those of you who believe this act of brother/sister…get real! That was a very awkward moment for RIRI and Jay and Bey!Jay is attracted to RIRI and she likes him as well! They are getting it in!
YUP @13 I PEEPED THAT ANGEL PUT THE MJ BACKGROUND BACK UP! WE WEREN’T PLAYING AROUND!!! SHE SURE GOT THE MESSAGE…
@20.
please…no bro or sis luv there!…..
Ah Plz Girl Sit DOWN, Bee was Clapping and Smiling lol even though it was awkard. Jay just didnt want to go up!
If it wasnt a close Relationship between her and Bee why would Bee associate with Rihanna and go celebrate her birthday? Why would they allow her to keep there nephew? Why would She Bee in there home? Why would Bee say Rihanna is like Fam to her and her whole family? plzzz
LIKE I SAID THERES MORE SCANDAL AS TO JAY AND CIARA BENG TOGETHER BECAUSE NEITHER HIM OR BEE ARE CLOSE WITH HER LIKE THEY ARE TO RIHANNA.
I’M NOT FEELING JAY Z AT ALL
I DO NOT LIKE HIM OR HIS “MESSAGE”
AND CIARA SHE REALLY NEEDS TO FIND HER SELF IN THIS INDUSTRY
BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SHE IS JUST DOING SPONTANEOUS CONCERTS FIRST SHES THE OPENING ACT FOR BRITNEY THAN JAYZ???
I DUNNO MANN
AND THANK YOU ANGEL FOR PUTTING BACK THE MICHEAL JACKSON BACKGROUND! AND WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DELETE MY COMMENTS
I LOVE JAY Z!!
GO JAY, GO JAY!!! BLUEPRINT 3 in stores September 11!!
DOA is tha new sh*ttt!!!
So because Ciara is on different tour with big name artists that’s a bad thing? LOL, artists would dream to go on major tours. SMH, I swear some of yall look be reaching like crazy.
Sick of seeing J-Z
some of you guys are Bi-Polor. one min u all loving JAy and riri next u all are talking smack. n e way Ci Ci rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THOUGHT CIARA AND JAY-Z WERE BOTH HEADLINING THE TOUR TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jay-z use to be hot…but his music is so not mature! He is a 40 year old artist who has not evolved from the “Hard knock Life” mentality! He has nothing left to do put compete with and name drop the new school to present the illusion of still being “cool”! I don’t see anything wrong with him being 40 yrs old and still performing…but what I have a problem with is the fact that his music doesn’t sound like anything different from “Big Pimpin”! I think as a vet Jay loses major points! Jay traded in his lyrics and dumbs them down to sound better to the corporate ear! I actually think people are more impressed with him supposedly being the riches rapper alive than him actually being the GOAT! The media and Forbes can have you believe anyone is rich…but if we are realistic when it comes to the music…Jay just does not have the spark anymore…he has nothing else to offer! President Obama might be his only new topic to address and the rest will be his usual!
ok
1. Ciara is a model for Rocawear – so there’s no scandal there w/ her & jay.
2. @ the Grammy’s what 2 years ago when Rihanna tried to be disrespectful she grabbed jays hand & jay snatched it from her. then rihanna standing on the steps turn around threw her hands up – as to say what – she turned around & Jay pushed her up the stairs -as to say Trick please!.
3. Beyonce – always play the “good Witch” – she will always say the politically correct statements. Now u never saw pics of bey & jay celebrating Rihanna’s b-day – that’s just what the media reported.
4. Karma is a Beotch – after Rihanna played into that “she’s sleeping Jay” & that Grammy fiasco……2 years later she was beaten publicly by her then bf c. brown. – what comes around goes aroudn.
5. Rihanna was not chilling w/ Beyonce’s nephew juelz. She had Tata’s son, not solange’s son. Tata is Jay’s best friend but he too worked for Def Jam when Jay worked there. Tata was somehow also responsible for GGGB as rihanna always thanked him, Jay Z & Jay Brown – jay z’s other best friend.
6. If jay is screwing Rihanna then it is what it is. if she’s comfortable being everybody’s jump off then that’s her. For all those who say he’s really attracted to her & blah blah – but i guess it wasnt enough for him to put a ring on it! If Jay messes up BEYONCE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE. Jay is the one who’s world will be over. WHY DO U THINK HE SUNG FOR THE PRESIDENT??? IT HAD NOTHING TO DO W/ HIM OR RIHANNA! It was the QUEEN BEE BEYONCE WHO SUNG FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ON SUCH A HISTORICAL DAY!!!
7. Lastly Jay is cool, his best cd was BP1, 2nd Life & Times of SC Vol 1. since then everything else is a blurr. but he did keep a “freestyle” that night that CL should post. It’s kinda hot.
omg come on CL i just wrote all of that & ur not going 2 let it post? it’s not even offensive or off topic. this is crazy.
When did Bee say RIRI was like her family? What interview or article was this in?
imma have to agree with TYE.
@22 IAPPLE
IF BEY AND RIRI WERE SO CLOSE AND LIKE FAMILY…WHY WASN’T RIRI INVITED TO THE WEDDING IN APRIL OF 2008 OR WAS IT CONVINIENT FOR BEY TO USE RIRI BEAT DOWN FOR HER OWN BENEFIT ON LARRY KING CLAIMING THAT THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY TO PROMOTE HER DUMB AS MOVIE “OBSESSED”? WE ALL KNOW DAMN WELL…BEYONCE DON’T LIKE RIRI! BETTER YET WHY DIDN’T JAY INVITE RIRI TO THE WEDDING…HIS SISTER…LOL!
just to get it straight
ciara is not an opening act..fab is…ciara is co headlining with jay z
ciara is co-hedlining the tour with jay!
9/11? Why choose that date to put out your ablum? Typical fucker; always feel that the world should revolve around his ass. Ain’t nobody going to be thinking about no effin’ Blueprint 3 on that date.
first of all J Corny should be the last to speak about Chris Brown hitting women when there’s a video on him hanging with his croonies and mooshing a girl in the face, look like he’s the same type of creep of a male to me, not man b/c REAL men don’t hit women, they are smart to walk away when agitated…
@8 and 15, soooo on point !!!
@20 Yes, i remember that moment, a classic
as far as Ciara, hmmmm something about her I can’t get into, she comes across as unauthentic, all I see is JANET when I look at her *shrugs *
I would love to see artists to just be themselves, Michael and Janet’s influence is so strong other artists end up losing themselves in their imitation.
and YES it’s respectful to have MJ in the background, gesh he’s not even buried !!!!!!!!!!
TO ALL that dont like and is tired of jay Z, who really CARES?? Not Jay, he’s going to continue doing his thing with or with out. you. Dont go to his concerts, dont buy his CDs and stop commenting on his blog. “IDEA” just ignore him all together and see if it matters to him or his fans. SMH.
You can always tell when someone is on top cause people will always try to knock you down. It’s a fact. Michael Jackson is an example. Yes, everybody is sad he’s dead, of course nobody wished that on him but when he was alive he took so much abuse.
Jayz has many fans and we/they are going to support him no matter or he wouldnt not be in the position he’s in for so long (on top) so therefore your negative comments toward him means nothing. You didnt make him and you not going to break him. He’s not that type of guy. That in itself you gotta respect.
Lets try not promoting such hate and negativity. If you have nothing good to say dont say nothing. If you dont like an artist or celebrity or whoever stop giving them the time of day. For the life of me ,I just cant understand that smh. Go to the celebrity you look and post a nice-little comment. Sound like a plan?? LOL
Another site has the most interesting pics of her today. LOL…She’s someone’s jumpoff in that group, you choose.
Why do guys believe jayz had anything to do with Chris Brown not performing at the Awards? Do you think he’s that powerful? LOL I dont think so and I’m a HUGE Jayz fan. Why is it so easy to believe the negative things? Dont believe everything you hear. Get the facts first!!!!!!
GO CICI GO CICI GO!!!!!!!!! AND THEY ARE CO-HEADLINEING.
Uh #38,
yeah you got a point, there, remember there was some kind of contreversy where Jay-Z was alleged to have been hitting beyonce, and that little blip from some dvd or something Rocafella released back in 99 showed him slapping or “play” slapping some chick in the face, and mushing her hard as hell, I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT NOBODY SAYS, THERE WAS MORE TO THAT THEN jay just supposedly playing with the girl because I remember there was a security gaurd standing behind them and he grabbed jays arm after he did it, like “chill”. Jay slapped the hell out of that annymous chick in the dvd, he the last person that should have something to say about it.
@ cutie pie ….babygirl thats not the point…ppl are allowed to state their opinions ….we know we are not stopping him from selling, performing or anything @ all because there are stll going to be ppl that love him no matter what. there is no need for you to feel so offended because he is not taking care of u so FALLBACK!!
anyway yea I feel the ppl that says Jay is wack now because he is ….he needs to just be the business man that he is and stop trying to attack other rappers and their hustle @ the end of the day he did what he did and its over now JAY RETIRE for real this time u have nothing else to say!!
It isn’t a Ciara concert if you do not get a crotch shot. jeez. i have yet to NOT see one
The dates are messed up in this post. Yesterday was the 4th already.
Anyway I’m sure Ciara killed. Shes a great performer.
Jay Z need to distance himself from Rihanna. There relationship is to close to be non-related and somewhat disrespectful to Beyonce.
Jay Z is not Rihanna’s manager nor is she signed with Roc Nation. She is not the only protege he had a Deaf Jam but why is she so attached? Not a good look for neither parties. I believe Jay loves Beyonce but anything can happen especially when they are always apart and there is drinking and partying etc sometimes people get a little to loose. I see a bad headline that will hurt Bey and Jay’s marriage.
When did Rihanna become apart of Jay’s entourage is she now with Roc Nation and not Deaf Jam?
I get so tired of you idiots who know NOTHING about the industry making commentary about things you know NOTHING about. I suggest you all proofread b4 you post because some of you come off sounding EXTREMELY ignorant…and thats why most of you will always be doing exactly what you’re doing now:
ON THE INTERNET TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW
I’ve seen Jay-z on tour before and he’s very boring. Just stands on stage in one spot moving his hand around and pulling funny faces. The best live hip hop performer is Kanye. Even 50 Cent is not bad he has a lot of energy on stage and cracks jokes.
The rest of these rappers don’t know the first thing about putting on a SHOW!
and with that being said: Both Ciara and Jay are great at what they do.
@LV
Yes Fabolous opened the show. They didn’t have pictures of him I guess because hes the opener.
@ CUTIE PIE….#40
I think these people who are voicing their opinions about Jay were his fans at one point! The point is that they have lost some interest in him…because they find him to be lacking substance in his music at this time. Your opinion of them not liking Jay is immature…and maybe that is why you feel the need to rant about others dislike of him at this point in his career. Obviously you have not yet experienced the need to see him evolve with his music…so therefore, you are satisfied with his musical content! But people grow and their likes change…so perhaps instead of you saying Jay does not need these people to like him or care if they do or don’t…which is absolutely ridiculous for you to believe that! Anyone who values his/her career or fans (past or present) would hate to see them loose interest in them as an artist! Jay is in the business to entertain…so it would be in his best interest to keep the market satisfied…Jay has fans but I can probably guess that more than the concrete loop bloggers are dissatisfied with his music at this point in his career! The truth of the matter is…public opinion can make or break you…and yes these formers fans played a very huge part in his success and contrary to what you believe if the majority rules against Jay…they can end his career too! So let’s not forget that!
back bending ci ci.
get it girl!
i need to go to some shows/music festivals this summer. maybe cl can do a summer show feature of hot concerts to look out 4…or i could just stick to my time out magazine. :/
Boo
# 33
Beyonce was on Larry King..she said it during the interview…Larry asked Bey about the Rihanna assualt thing then that’s went she said all of that..
Search for Bey on Larry King on youtube…
wow @ everything above, lamo…people got lost in this whole “RiRi” and Jay-z scandle. Now back to the question @ hand…I wouldn’t go to the concert because Ciara can’t sing. Her “performance” at BET was super lame. If Jay-z had a better opening act I would go see him because DOA has a great message. I too am over Auto tone. Its a clutch for lame rappers and singers who can’t sing at all. lmao @ the part that say’s “stop T-Painin’. Jay is getting older so of course his fan base may not be as big as it use to be, but its still great music for the 25 and older crowd. I guess Soulja Boy and other lame artist are whats “in” now.
OK CL i called off al sharpton and the protesters.
i agree w/ the other who said if bey/jay/rih was like family then they would have invited rihanna to the wedding but they say keep your friends close & enemies closer. Beyonce is no dummy.
both jay & rihanna are publicity whores. always looking for the camera. ANGEL U HAVE TO GET THOSE PICS. RIHANNA IS BRALESS WEARING PASTIES LIKE LIL KIM DID WHAT 7 YEARS AGO. it’s not a pretty sight. baby girl is definitely aging from all the alcohol. who is rihanna’s manager??
why can’t people get her info right?? this is her 3rd headline tour she is NOT THE OPEN ACT.
