This one is fantastic! What a sweet smile. He is very loved, and he was soaking it all in last night. Too bad he didn't get some love from the voters!

Doesn't sound like a missed out on anything.

A pitty P neither won nor performed. But thanks for the pics, he looked good. Those Versace sunglasses are hott!

Didn't expect him to sit there with Tamar, but that's nice. He looked like he really enjoyed it all.

I thought that too....he was very relaxed...

I am surprised so many thought the show was terrible. I thought the performances were some of the best in years. Byonce was the worst I think. Seems like she had some type of malfunction at the end when she was singing a note that didn't end before the next one started. Was she lypsincing? Plus I'm tired of her now. She needs to go marry JZ and start a family and go sit down for a few years. I'm sick of seeing her everywhere.

I've never thought Mary J was all that. And there was a time I was shocked that she even got a recording contract, but she sounded much improved since her last performance. The screaming at the end was a Janice Joplin tune, and that's the way Janice sang it, too. I thought MJ did a pretty good job considering she's not a really strong singer.

I even enjoyed the Dixie Chix. I'm not a fan of country music, and I had never heard that song before last night, but damn, I liked it! They even seemed shocked that they won so many awards. Half the time they didn't know what to say on stage, making for a very awkward acceptance.

Gnarles Barkley sang the song just as it sounds on vinyl. I enjoyed it, too.

Now, Chirstina Aguleira! DAYUM! That white girl can sang! OK, all you naysayers, give her her props! Sure, maybe it would have been more appropriate for a brother to sing the song, but girlfriend threw down! And all of you talkin 'bout all the screammin, that's the way the song is sung, dammit! James sang it like that. Lawd knows James liked to scream, too! She even had his moves down! Give it up, ya'll!

Even Smokey kept it mostly on key. Although he looked like he was on some kind of drug...eyes were kinda weird looking...glassy maybe?

Oh, and I almost forgot. John Mayre (?). Did you see the look on Prince's face after his solo? I thought, "Awww shit, Prince be madddd!" But gotta give it up to the lil white boy, too. He done real good! I thought he was the best out of the three. I might just have to buy his CD!

How come her singing is better on that commerical than on some of her songs?

I agree with you about Christina,it was very emotional,she looked like she was about to cry at one point.

Judging from last night,Tamar is MUCH prettier than them Twinz,and I'm sooo glad he didn't bring them.

Oh man, that's gotta be one of his favorite poses. I have three pics of him saved on my hard drive, three diff. places, same poses that says "I rule/command the stage".

And yeah, he does look nice and classy. Totally cool.

in just 1 word...GORGEOUS!!!

Did P leave early? He was sitting behind Mary J. at the beginning of the show, but then at the end, he wasn't there.

Shyra said:

Totally agree.

I am surprised so many "real music" lovers around here didnt realize that the Christina performance was an homage to James -- screaming was appropriate.

and John Mayer's solo was HOT. I am now a fan.

Earlier today,
I heard the DJ on the radio today say that she enjoyed Justin's "sexy self" perform.


This is the guy from N'Sync.





Every once in awhile, the question comes up,
"Are we humans or are we sheep?"
I dunno.....

Yeah, I'm a big fan of screaming if you can SANG! And I gave props to Chrissy and Mary J. in a former post. If anyone remembers Soul before it became R&B, screaming was a big part of Soul music and Blues. Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Tina Turner and many of the old Blues singers who were called "Screamers" (somebody's gonna help me with this cuz my memory ain't working today). This is where Rock got their screamers from - Blues and Soul music, so there ain't nothin' wrong with screaming. It's apparent sloppiness is what makes the emotion felt in the song. If you want perfectly smooth rounded notes, then try Broadway. I'm not a fan of Chrissy and Mary J. but I can't anything bad about them. As long as they are screaming on key, then its alright. In my humble opinion, that is.

I love this picture!

Shyra said:

I agree. OVERKILL.

Wow...I watched the whole show to see him say 3 three words..I wasted my night...but at least I got that commercial on tape

gypsyfire said:

I've seen Tamar in person, and she is very pretty. Some of the photos and vids that we see of her don't her justice at all. Personally, I think that some of the makeup that she was wearing when performing with Prince was not right for her. It seems that the make she is wearing now is much better.

Would've been cool if he'd won,but what an honor just 2 c him there!I ended up rooting 4 Mary J Blige 2 win so I could get a glimpse of Prince sitting behind her! He never looked better,and that commercial brought tears 2 my eyez-very touching!
