I really wish Taj would cut those braids from '94 and rock a taper

them shits were lame in the 90s and they're lame now

and I wonder if Taryll and TJ bumped into Kim and Kourtney Kardashian backstage.....considering they fucked them back in the day

Wait, what male celebrity of color hasn't fucked a Kardashian?

carry on.....

Not the best show, but it had its moments.

Best performances for me were Lady GaGa and Elton John (although I don't think the overall concept was understood), Pink (although I did get a bit dizzy after a while and the song was forgettable), Dave Matthews Band and Maxwell (but only after Robert Flack joined him. What's happened to his voice over the years?)

I've definitely warmed to GaGa. I like the quality in her voice and how she and Elton exchanged verses, songs, and name-checked each other at the end. This was a somewhat subtle performance for her and there was something sweet about them together (GaGa actually looked kinda pretty to me with the soot on her face..weird).

I didn't get Beyonce's performance at all and found it all unappealing. Taylor Swift was "pitchy" on all her songs, it seemed. I usually love Maxwell but he didn't do it for me on "Pretty Wings" either. His falsetto aint what it used to be.

I thought GaGa should have won album of the year but I'm fine with Taylor Swift winning (at least she writes her music beyond just changing a word for writing credit).

Oh and, Jamie Foxx is a fool. His performance won the "H.A.M." award of the night, hands down.

Maybe it's the MJ Stan in me, but when I saw Beyonce's performance I briefly thought "Hmm, it looks like somebody watched This Is It during her rehearsal"

That shit was schizophrenic. It was all over the place and the dudes were unnecessary. I wish she'd take it down like 10 notches and learn the art of nuance. Ok, 20 notches.

She looked lovely tho.

And poor Stevie Nicks enduring Taylor's off-key accompaniment!

I am enjoying the Les Paul trib the best.

So. Do. I. Especially Michael, whoops, I mean little Blanket. He was backstage:

Also, you don't sing "You Oughta Know" unless you're prepared to say FUCK and be blipped.

DiminutiveRocker said:

Which would have been the hands down best if they had properly miced the singer.

johnart said:

She was probably watching the DVD and said "Ooooo! I want that! DADDY, I WANT SOLDIERS!!!! I WANT SOLDIERS!!!!!"

johnart said:

period.

bboy87 said:

It's like she gets on stage and a voice (her own, duh) in her head goes: OOH I gotta sing. Sing REAL loud. So they know I can sing, cuz I can sing. And oh, I gotta run, so they know I can run and sing. Cuz I can. I can run and sing loud! I can run real fast, look, and sing REAL loud! Laaaaa! Ooh, and I gotta drop down to my knees. Cuz I can do that too. See??? And hair, I got hair! Lots of hair! I can flip it around see??? And sing. I can bounce on my knees and flip my hair faster and faster and sing, sing real loud SEEE????!!!

She's just gonna blow the fuck up one day.

babynoz said:

yup she did.

johnart said:

Beyonce is the best performer right now to me, but unlike MJ, something always manages to go wrong during her TV performances. I think one of her earrings fell off, that fan was blowing her hair all over the place, and her costume broke apart in the back.

johnart said:

Like I said earlier, she's all rocked and rolled out and I just don't mean LITERALLY either.

WaterInYourBath said:

I actually think she's an awesome performer. I just think we know this now, it's time to back it up a bit and refine some shit.

johnart said:

And afterward, people will ask, "what song was she singing when she combusted?!" No one will remember.

johnart said:

And horses from around the world are gonna raid the stage to claim their stolen manes

See, I told ya'll that bitch had my tail! That's why I shit on it before she wore it!

bboy87 said:

Oh please, that bitch has to have her home exorcised weekly to get rid of the ghosts of dead horses.

johnart said:

OMG LMAO!!!!! Funnnnny as hell man

johnart said:

That's probably what she's gonna do during her hiatus.

johnart said:

she steals their mane and absorbs their souls for energy

HOT ASS MUTHAFUCKIN' DAMN!!!!

When Roberta Flack walked out, I said "Well damn, the elementary lunch lady cleans up GOOD!"

WaterInYourBath said:

It would be so lovely if she took off a few years and came back with something simple and classy. I don't mean do a jazz album or standards, just something different. Fresh with more relaxed vocals.

I give her 2 years tops, she won't be able to stand watching other bitches climbing her charts

bboy87 said:

You know I will only speak the truth on such important matters.

johnart said:

U got me cryin'

missmad said:

He's calling Beyonce a Dr. Evil Fembot. That is funny.

bboy87 said:

Another one! Ya'll gotta stop. I have had so much fun reading this whole thread.

I should have been in bed. Just cracking up!!!

johnart said:

So ole girl can make a good ass tuna and dorito casserole AND sing a good tune?!

Now THAT's talent

musicman said:

She wants to put it all out there in every performance. Someone needs to explain to her that it's ok to do just one or two of those things per song. We know you got some talent honey. Slow it the fuck down.

bboy87 said:

And she's still got her voice. She sounded good. Did you notice she held her mic at a distance and still sounded clear?
Well she might have had to hold it far to keep from getting feedback off that wig.
