i dunno...whitney always did sweat a river when she performs. no doubt she was nervous...this was her first performance as a sober person in how long? i hope she gets back to where she was. it would be nice to see a true comeback story!

I am a Kayne fan. Whitney looked and sounded good and I hope Courtney also Cleans up. They are Too Talented women and should NEVER WASTE away .... I Love them Ladies...

SassyBritches said:

That's true - I thought of that too in regards to her sweaty upper lip, being due to nerves vs. illness.

I guess maybe her seeming ill to me was actually more due to what Redayh said... about how she looked like she had lost her sparkle and confidence.

At any rate, I too hope she has/can finally overcome the drugs and can get back to where she once was.

They should really be called the Euro Trash awards. That show is just Euro Trash and an insult to music. I only saw a little bit of Whitney going through the moitions and making a few yelps of songs she used to sing the hell out of and Patti Labelle in a blonde wig with Big Boi doing some of "Ghettomusik" (No Andre...sucks that they don't perform it together!)

Hell Yeah. Whitney difinitely pulled it off and I am happy for her.I wasn't feeling Celine, Avril,Usher, Kenya West or Alicia. I was kinda feeling Outcast and Patty. Come to think of it, the only interesting things about this shitty award show was Whitney and Outcast w/Patty. Because, the rest of the show was a piece of that needs to be flushed down the . I am sorry folks but, I got to give my .

Anxiety said:

now, sweets, you know you're dreamin' if you really thought it was patti smith! it was the incomparable patti labelle...doin' the robot, no less! and shakin' her...well...her whole body!!

i was actually hoping it was a duet between big boi and sandi patti. that would have been HOTT.

Anxiety said:

i dunno who sandi patti is...

SassyBritches said:

No...French performer "Jordy" backed up by his female dancers performed his rap "C'est Dur Dur D'etre Bebe" which translates to "It's Tough To Be A Baby" , Jordy runs off stage during his performance to kiss "Prince Albert". The camera crew scanned the audience like they always do to get reaction from other celebrities and they just so happened to show "Prince The Purple One's reaction which was funny. Prince was not involved in Jordy's performance whatsoever. This particular awards show aired approx. 10 years ago. I remember watching it and everyone was talking about "Jordy's" performance...he was just a cute lil boy. Jordy is now 16 and in a metal band called Kat Mon Dieu.

Uh oh!

Anxiety said:

Ok..I'm so lame..i was watching Leah remi or whatever on VH-1 on that inside out show....she's a funny chick...


When are the Soul Train, Source and Lady of Soul Awards...I'm ready for some ghetto award shows.....

oh, sorry, i typed it wrong. what i meant was "prince lip synced on the same show as a lip syncing rapping baby?"

I only saw Whitney's performance. And I too was pulling for her. She tried to fix herself up in the regal glamour of her glory days. She looked better and sounded better than she has in recent years, but no where near when she was at the top of her game.

Remember the AMAs and Grammy right after the Bodyguard album came out? Now those were courses in how live performance should be.

I have those performances on tape. There was never a better live performer. Yeah, Beyonce, Christina, Mariah and sometimes Celine can give a good live vocal performance today... but no where near what Whitney could do.

Others hope to sound as good and flawless as their recording ... but a live Whitney could make a recording sound like shit by comparison. She was so strong, dynamic, on key, incredible (i'm thinking of her "I'm not living without you/Porgy and Bess" medley, especially.-- I mean people gave her a 10-minute standing ovation. It was unbelievable that a voice could be so precise, controlled and evocative)

Her voice was truly a remarkable instrument that she has sadly fucked up. I hope Clive can help her recover a little bit of that magic.

And underneath that makeup last night her face looked so sad and hard. It was painful to watch. Gotta still love Whit, but I will not forgive Bobby!

(and I'm sure you've heard that Bravo picked up the reality series "Being Bobby Brown" which will air in March of next year-- so we'll get to see more of Whitney's life with this man.)

My sentiments exactly.

aikam said:

I remember that video for Jordy and Beavis and Butthead were watching it. Funny as hell. "C'est Dur Dur D'etre Bebe" but it's also tough to watch and listen to that with a straight face.

OOH LA LA

Observations:

Am I the only one who noticed that when LaToya came out introducing Hillary Duff's performance there was a lot of murmuring in the crowd, no one was responsive and they sat their kind of stoic?

I felt kind of embarrassed for her. I don't know how to take the girl after the things she said about Michael in the past. But I guess that's all behind the siblings since she, Jan and MJ were arm-and-arm at the court preceedings last month.

Damn, Seal really did some major asskissing during the Alicia Keys segment. You'd think the guy was scouting a new spouse?

Why did Hillary Duff lipsync like that and jump around the stage like she was rocking the house?

Avril Lavigne, despite criticisms, seems to be really appreciative of her fans.

Why did they cut short one of the best performances of the night -- Big Boi and Patti Labelle -- to inundate us with a constant barrage of advertisements?

Usher is still cocky as ever. When he received his award, he motioned for the audience to stand up and subsequently praise his "achievement."

Nope. And she said someone thought she was the LaToya from American Idol, and she replied, "No, I'm the original LaToya"....as if that's something to be proud of.
