      I agree. I see the recaps from the loop if they have links. But, I couldn’t tell you who was on last year or this year.

      Everyone either looks foolish to me over they are over rated. *shrugs shoulders*

    Why dont you guys post about Eminem and J.LO, ‘aren’t they closer’ to the black community than Gaga? And where is Ciara, LL Cool, Bruno, Swizz Beatz & many others who attended the red carpet? just sayin
    As soon as Bey came in the audience, the cameramen were all over her, & girl didnt do the red carpet but headlined your news, I love it she came to support Gwyneth.
    GO ESPERANZA!

    • Phuck Steve Harvey!

      I agree…It seems CL is jumping on the Lady Gaga bandwagon and forgetting about the Blacks u mention…but like anything it’s a matter of time before QUALITY becomes QUANTITY…Phuck Gaga she is a Madonna rip off…& Nicki Minja is a phucking CLOWN! STUPID..u should of post her funny ass CL instead of Gaga..

    • la_verite

      Agreed. I have never understood CL’s obsession with Gaga. She’s a gimmick – and not black nor does she have a black pass (in my book), so I don’t get it.

    • Sasamina

      This is the thing with GaGa: she is so over the top and ill with it that she transcends color lines. Just like when I was a little girl I loved me some Madonna, but now I’m loving me some GaGa, whether she’s black or not. Color don’t matter when it comes to cool music. Just because YOU’RE not into her don’t mean other black folks on Concrete Loop not into her. I mean damn.

    Willow Smith is going to be beautiful when she gets older, and Beyonce looks white, but nice. Nicki Minaj looks like she’s just having fun, nothing wrong with that.

    Esperanza – most surprising win ever. I would’ve preferred Drake or even Bieber but oh well. Next year my fellow Canadians.
    Beyonce – what does she have on?
    Willow – she’s a cutie but if I had children, they would never walk out of the house looking like that.
    Rihanna – the dress is ugly.
    Faith Evans – I was shocked when I saw her on the red carpet .. I didn’t even know it was her. She looks amazinggg.
    Nicki – a mess. she’s so embarrassing.
    Gram’ma Funk – ???

      Just surprised because she’s really not that well known. I know who she is but I thought a more popular artist would’ve won like in just about every music award show.

      Woooow how disrespectful.
      Was it really necessary to call Esperanza out of her name?
      Anyway congrats to Esperanza, Justin is cute and all but Ms. Spalding makes real music.

      Sounds like you have the IQ of a damn raisin so I wouldn’t expect you to know anything other than the norm (Usher, Justin…etc). That comment was so rude and uncalled for. Take your stupidity elsewhere.

    Beyonce loves looking like Farrah Faucet, lol, whip that white girl hair. She must have told the cameramen to not put the camera on her cause she didn’t want to be seen. Rihanna’s dress was uh……something very Rihanna. I normally like Jaden’s sense of style, but not those cheetah tights, and Diddy look like a bellboy.

    Usher and Lenny……why? These two out of all people should know better that this is not the VMAs. It is quite easy to say that Best Dressed Female goes to Mya, and Best Dressed Male goes to Drake. Two people who you would least expect to show up and dominate the red carpet. Runner ups are Keri Hilson and B.o.B.

    Beyonce looks gorgeous and everyone went crazy when she came at the last minute to support Gwynth.

    Rihanna looks like a roll of toilet tissue. Fashion blogs are ripping her a new one.

    Gaga’s egg entrance was the best

    Bey made my evening and she was only there as support to Gwyneth which I believe she gave pointers. For those who say Bey look white or her hair is too light get a life we know she is a proud black woman and has always been light skin. On to the next one *Jay-Z voice*

    Whom eva designed that outfit for Nicky needs to be strung by the balls, then dragged thru the town square, then drawn and quartered.

    Kim I dont like you very much but you are looking absolutely gorgeous with your fake bum and all.

    In about 3 to 5 years though, you will be looking just like your mom with all the plastic surgery you have been getting, so enjoy yourself while you can.

    I just want to say for the record, that people are commenting on Beyonce’s hair color as if THIS ANYTHING NEW, the girl likes her some Blonde OK DEAL WITH it, it’s not your head it’s hers, since she came out she has always been “Honey” or “Caramel” Blonde, she obviously doesn’t pefer dark hair, and i’m kind of glad she’s breaking the mold of “blonde is not for Blacks” dammit if you’ve got the skin tone to rock it then ROCK IT, and she has the skintone for it, her skin is light with yellow undertones to it that allow her to wear blonde without it looking “harse” against her skin

    Boy, Rihanna and Beyonce both have talent, they make silly folks appear on blogs so they can make silly comments. For the most part, everyone looks terrible, and I just hope it can be stepped up for next year.

    Congratulations to Esperanza S. I hope this sends a message to female artists that you do not have to be naked, or overly sexual to get recognition, especially if its God’s will for you to be recognized. Sex sells, but talent will fill a house.
