What’s Happening Wednesday
Morning! The BET awards took place last night and is a perfect introduction to yet another topic day on this here blog, lol Ya’ll know I am a topical information reader and basically an old fan, lol. With this in mind - I sometimes want to talk about things that have happen in the world via the news or the latest gossip and what not I get from the Celebrity Blogs, so on Wednesdays this is when I’ll do that. Because of my busy schedule etc. having structure to the blog helps me alot - so I hope you all don’t mind. So let’s get it started!
My commentary (in no particular order) is bursting forth like the trots!
There was two shows. The Before Beyonce took the stage and the after Beyonce took the stage. Looking all fresh and tanned from her trip to the South of France with Jigga - she just tore it up! I know she gets lots of hate and folks are tired of the Beyonce machine, but she just GOT IT! I was screaming like a chap wearing lesbian up in that piece, lol lol The whole set was HOT! The underlying support of her fellow band members Kelly and Michelle and..her sister (sigh), was just so on! Kelly rocking the whole wonder woman ensemble was fantabulous and she was moving her little bootie, lol (though I think we should do some live performances to work on the vocals a bit). The ending where they all pounced out of the columns. I was ova and done! I have been popping up out my cube since I got here this morning, lol- God spared me and sent me to the other room to miss T-pain and Robin Thicke. Robin just looks so mushy to me. and T-Pain…BOOOOOOOOOOO!
- I am on the fence about Ne-yo and his actual performing skills but when Fabulous came out and they started rocking my new favorite song, I perked up. That song is just haunting and I gotta remember to put it on my IPOD.
- I have this ‘fascination’ with Lil Wayne and it was full frontal last night. I just love that New Orleans accent..that is all, lol lol The kids looked cute, they were on some Cindy Lauper type look and that was cool.
- I enjoyed seeing Public Enemy back together, but I wish they would have addressed both sides of the man in like dual performances and then called MC HAMMER! How the hell you gonna honor James and not use him?! We all know Mike wasn’t coming but dang. I’m going over to Hammer’s Blog and let him know he was missed.
- LiL Kim borrowed Goddess’ clothes for the evening - I expect them to be drycleaned when you return them Kim.
- Keisha Cole wore it out! After last years screeching - she was relaxed, rested and did really good - Diddy was her prop this time out. I think though, that she should have wore shoes she could walk in - I think those were clogs and her feet were stuck, lol.
- Fifty Cents is high off his energy drink, cause after all that promo about the fans picking the song - exactly what was he up there doing? Did he forget the words or was the track skipping. Dang!
- Ciara was channeling Janet’s Pleasure Principle, but it was kinda fly when she ‘made it rain’. Too bad she came on after Beyonce had removed all doubt from the room.
- Diana Ross is just royalty and I have always loved and admired her swagger. Looking Good Mortimer! One day in the future it will be revealed that Evan is Mike’s child and ya’ll say Mike ain’t got no kids. Her other son - kinda made my Lightskinned lust rear it’s head, looking all James DeBarge delicious and what not. Good speech, good humility and just fabulous!
- Monique was just Monique. I like that whole her against Beyonce thang, it works, but I have a ‘bougie’ issue with us and no shoes and I wish she would have slipped some one. I did get tired of her basically reitinerating what just happened. I wanted more commentary from her - a bit more freestyle.
- The Tribute to Gerald was typical black folks tribute. He is missed!
- I went to get some neosporin while Pretty Rickey was on the pre-show, they bother me.
- T.I. was okay. I keep cringing because he always look like he’s about to pop a vessle or something.
I won’t bore you with alot of pictures on here when you can go to CRUNK and CONCRETE LOOP and YOUNG BLACK AND FABULOUS and get your fill. Please visit them and give em some love for their up to the minute reports.
and Finally…
I AM TELLING YOU..I am thanking God and six other Prophets for letting Jennifer Holiday on a National Stage to sing that damn song!!!! THANK YOU!! Again I say Thank You! I am prostrate on my knees in submittance.
Overall, I give it a B-. There was awful problems with the sound, you could see the stage folks to much and there was alot of lip syncing - and I am taking off .10 points for all the advertisements of the WICK WICK WACK ASS Shows coming up in July (Yea I wrote them all down so I don’t miss a one, lol). Every one of them look terrrible, but shouts to HOT GHETTO MESS. I sure hope you had copyrighted or something since they biting like florida misquitos.

Your commentary was so much more detailed than mine LOL…I didn’t like the show much at all. As much as I love that song by Jennifer, I didn’t really care for the show’s performance last night… but on my CD, I love it.
Now don’t come kill me for saying that OK? LOL
I am with you on Beyonce’ oh my goodness that was HOT and she was beautiful! Your comment about Ciara ” Too bad she came on after Beyonce had removed all doubt from the room. ”
ROFL I agree!
I loved Monique- especially that dancing bit and I agree on the shoes part - I wonder what LL did with that shoe later? Had it been my shoe I’d have tried to schedule a pick up somewhere around booty call hour lol.

See there, I knew that I could come up in here and get a blow by blow of the BET awards. Now, let’s dish. *hee hee*
I was on the phone with my sister and this is what we found:
Jennifer Holliday got her last hooray before nobody asks her to sing publicly anymore. She can sing. And could always sing. But word out on the street is that she is sort of hard to work with. They said something about her attitude. The real Effie. On the other hand, why did somebody sabotage her microphone? My sister and I thought Jennifer Hudson could have used a girdle. But then again what do I know? She probably needed to be ungirdled to belt out those notes.
Beyonce earned her keep. I’m not going to hate on her. And she deserved her award. She’s always working. As for Kelly, she looked cute and all but she needs to work on singing and dancing. Poor thing. She was out of breath. Kelly probably gets Beyonce’s knock off songs that didn’t make it to Beyonce’s album. And they barely acknowledged Michelle. I had to put on my glasses and lean in to the tv to verify she was even there. Where was jigga? I needed to see him.
Why does Ne-Yo bite on Michael Jackson so much? I want to give the young fellow a chance so bad. I just want him to be a little bit more original. I’m going to give him another year or so to get all this straight.
Monique was aight. I was thinking that she was drinking off stage. I’ve seen her do a little better. But her performance is lightyears better than Damon Wayan’s hosting last year. Scratch my earlier thought, Monique did a good job. Damon threw me. Anyhoo, I hope that Monique doesn’t have to feel like she has to do all the dances Beyonce does. Monique was out of breath and probably was tired for the rest of the show after trying to dance in the first number.

Aziza - I am hollaring at you having to put your glasses on and lean in on Michelle, lol lol lol You right though.
I was telling Caun that they probably cut that hair off of some broads right in the back and sewed it in her head.
Was I the only one who was wondering if Dr. Boogie from Sheer Genius did anyone’s head that night? LOL LOL
I guess that whole Mike thing is why I have a mental block when it comes to Ne-yo. Mike should just show up and tap ole boy on the shoulders.
Ok you and my mom both were like KNIT with a gut, lol lol The thing is Andre Leon Talley is her exclusive wardrober - so why does he keep messing up on the important things?

Had it been me up there on that stage, family and friends would not have even let me take the stage until I was in full gut compliance. The girdle would have been from my neck to my feet. But I’m not going to hate on either Jennifers too much, knowing how I am a connoisseur of fine foods too.
You know Crunk and Disorderly are probably joking that Tina let Michelle come out of the wig crypt to perform last night. *lol* Also, I bet Michelle was feeling a little uneasy because BeyonceWorld.net reported last week that Matthew fired Shorty from being one of Beyonce’s body guard’s because he so out of shape. Shorty is Michelle’s cousin. Poor Michelle. She always gets the short end of the stick.
Speaking of C&D, if my bosses can lift off of me a little bit, maybe I can reassume my role as Aunt Lula over at there this summer.
