Exactly, that tells you they're feeling the song..like most soul singers who know how to feel a song and express it that way, and not worried about how their facial expressions come out. Thank you  I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

2elijah said: Fantasia is screaming the song and not singing it, and actually that's the best I've seen her look since she's been out there. She must have a new stylist and hairdresser.
Angie stayed on key. Ledisi, Erika and Fantasia pretty much went off key a little. They need Leela James, that's who they need. Oh shit, I forgot about her..hell yes they really needed her!!!! I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

 And yes I did see a lot of tongue. Are they dating for real? I wonder about those two sometimes... Terrence could hardly talk after that? FOR REAL, I think his dick got hard. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

missfee said: Sandino said: It sounded to me more like she was vocally masturbating. Squeezing every bit of melismatic "aretha-esque" vocals out of those notes. Didn't enjoy the performance at all, those facial expressions she made didn't help either. ...IN other news Fergie and Mick Jagger. I'm sorry I just can't get into this "rock and roll" concert. It's so..sanitized rock to me is supposed to be dirty and sweaty, non-establishment. This concert's just missing that. Well real singers make faces because their heart and soul is into the music. BUT on the other hand, it sounds like that concert is boring as hell. That is true sometimes.  But the best vocalists I've ever seen do not make faces like some type of theatrical comedy skit like Chrisette Michele. I saw her doing that on "The Brian McKnight Show," and immediately turned the channel. In her case, all of that is unnecessary."You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

I understand that/ All I'm saying is her unusual facial contortions were off-putting for me. Did Prince ever deny he had sex with his sister? I believe not. So there U have it..

I admired Ledisi for wearing that short mini dress with those thick legs she got. I got thick legs like that too, but I feel like I need to slim down some more before I get back into my mini dress. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Chrisette Michelle has a beautiful voice. If you want to talk about making faces, I think Mick Jagger made the ugliest... since he is, so it wasn't that hard for him. [Edited 11/29/09 20:03pm] | |

[Edited 11/29/09 20:01pm] Ummm how was the show coonery? I don't think it was at all. There was no Lil' Wayne, no 12 people getting on stage when somebody won...so you tell me where the coonery was at? This has been the first all black awards show that I've seen in a long time that didn't have an ounce of coonery in it.

I really don't see what all the hype is all about. Homegirl can't sing a lick. She's just skinny and what's "in" for right now. She can't really dance all that good either. At least not to me. She's just there. I don't see how she feels like she should have all this respect. I don't see where she is doing anything different, I don't really see any talent there. She better hurry up and rack up her 15 minutes of fame. Here today, gone tomorrow. | |

[Edited 11/29/09 20:01pm] Well, actually there wasn't any coonery. As long as Lil' Wayne, Lil' John and Flava Flav wasn't on stage, then everyone else was safe. ( Well, I hope flava wasn't there)
It was good to hear some good r&b, and real singing and no lip-synching. [Edited 11/29/09 20:11pm] | |

You could barely hear them because Charlie's voice carried over K-Ci's so I still don't understand how that one performance would make the show "coonery" as you put it.

They were only on less than 5 minutes.I really tried watching but some of the performances just weren't for me. Like Trey Songz, Toni Braxton, etc. And I'm sorry but the Gap Band should've been honored, not Charlie Wilson. Sorry lol | |

I'm glad they did. They brought some cute, light humor to the show. Also, it's not a crime for Black people to have humor on any show, as long as the entire show is not minstrel like the BET Awards. | |

And why not? I thought that they were quite funny...they shouldn't have been singing at all, those parts made me cringe, but other than that, I think they kept the show from being boring. Who else would you had, had hosting it? Monique again? Steve Harvey? Katt Williams? I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

We're clowning the show on Twitter right now. | |

I thought it was a great effort and I enjoyed the show. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Sorry lol Well maybe if you could have been on the board to had made that decision then you could have had a voice in it, but since you weren't then, oh well you didn't have to watch it. No need to put such a negative overcast over the whole show just because of that. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

No one said she isn't a good vocalist. On audio, she sounds great. But her performance style is distracting, not enhancing. Making involuntary facial expressions (such as frowns or squints) like Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, or even MJ while singing is very different from the drama Michele shows. I'm not the only one who sees that, lol. But she's getting paid for it, so cool, enjoy it if you like."You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash.
