I’m not expecting too much from the show itself, but this is a milk carton post if I’ve ever seen it. Where have K-Ci/Jojo, TruthHurts, Chico Debarge, Sole, & Shareefa been? Everyone looks good overall, just a few misses.

Why are Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson always pictured together lately?
At first I thought it was a fluke, but now I am not so sure…
Anyway, he’s married, so hopefully they are just good buddies.

What the hell is Monica wearing? A blue jean jacket (which is played out, by the way) with a church skirt and black “going to work” stockings WITH red “come fukk me” heels…not a good look at all. She needs to hurry up and drop an album and get some money so she can afford to really dress….cuz if I see her in those same thigh high black boots again, I’m sending her ass to jail!
This event looks tacky…no wonder the “big” names weren’t there. Come on…could you see Kanye sitting with KCi and JoJo, LOL!!

I must agree with a few other people… I’d rather see MOST of these old school A listers (instead of the same 4 overrated new school A listers - Beyonce & Rihanna included) That gets way to much air time.. Can you say (OVER KILL) - The End!

@ 72 I agree with you I get tired of the same people the ones who get too much air time you know the the everyday attention whores.
And i’m sure some people would agree with me when I say something isn’t right about Monica. Ya’ll, know it was a rumor about Monica some years ago saying that she murdered her boyfriend I believe she did murder him because she’s always talking about it everytime you see her. The guys parents also said they believed she did it as well because Monica say the guy killed himself in front of her but the police said the man was killed with a right hand but he was left handed with that being said there isn’t a way that he could have killed himself. On Monica show I seen the first episode and after that I haven’t seen her show again on the first show she doing all that crying talking about her friend committed suicide in front of her she still talks about that like it just happen I mean if she know she didn’t do it why keep talking about it she’s guity about something that’s why I don’t like her.
And she’s a turn coat at first she use to be all in Ciara face and in Ciara videos, She know that Keri Hilson and Ciara had some problems last year she know that keri was talking crap about Ciara and now she’s all in Keri videos hanging with Keri like Keri is her new best friend or something Monica is one of them types I wouldn’t hang around.
Also she said her father taught her how to shoot guns every since she was two years old now ya’ll do the math Monica is a Murderer but the only reason why his family couldn’t fight the issue is because his parents didn’t have enough money and they knew if they tried to go against Monica they wouldn’t get nowhere because they didn’t have any money and Monica do I said it all along something isn’t right about Monica
P.S. Concreteloop is trying to hack into my computer they finna get a lawsuit quick.
I got that kind of system that knows who trying to hack into my computer.

There are a lot of talented sisters at STAS. They are so underrated because their music is on a whole different level. I love Melanie Fiona’s song It Kills Me and Letoya’ s Luckett album. These women are just as talented is not more talented than Lady Gaga, beyonce, and Rihanna. They were just some of the lucky ones that got a big,big break. As for powerhouse singers,Monica, Tamia,Fantasia, Melanie Fioona, and Letoya Luckett (somewhat)can blow for real! Thet definitely would put Rihanna, Brittney Spears, Taylor Swift and many more to shame. Today’s music isn’t song by real singers just mediocre singer with cute faces that get attention doing everything beside singing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
