The Good, the Bad and the Ugly moments from the 2008 Grammys

Contents

Yes, I know I’m very late with this, but Life happens in between blogging. Since everyone else has their Good, Bad & Ugly lists from the 2008 Grammys, I decided to post mine. Obviously at the very top of my Ugly list are that nigger couple Nas and Kelis. No, I don’t like referring to any sista or brotha by that term, but their desperate need for attention is appalling and they are a disgrace to the black race. I have lost complete respect for those niggers.

So here are my Good, Bad & Ugly lists from this year’s Grammys:

The Good

Beyonce holding her own with miss Tina Turner. This performance officially signaled the end of Beyonce’s reign in the music industry

Usher didn’t perform
Britney spears didn’t perform or show up
Soulja Boy Tell ’em didn’t perform
Solange didn’t perform

Rap-rocker Kid Rock’s duet with singer Keely Smith
Amy Winehouse made it all the way through her set without stumbling or forgetting her words
Rihanna winning rap collabo of the year even though Umbrella is not a rap song
Rihanna shutting jay z down and motioning for him to shut the f up while she’s talking. Priceless!
Jay z didn’t perform
Amy Winehouse winning 5 trophies despite being banned from this country
Amy Winehouse’s shocked reaction upon winning record of the year. Priceless!
Ne-yo winning a Grammy for contemporary r&b album of the year
Barack Obama winning a Grammy in the spoken word category
Rihanna hitting us with the unique one-of-a-kind ostrich feather dress
Tina turner not needing the paramedics who were standing by with oxygen tanks during her duet with Beyonce
The tribute to Pimp C, Ike Turner and other notables who are no longer with us
Stevie wonder not falling on his way to the stage
Keyshia Cole’s mature new look. Beautiful!
Quincy Jones stumbled on his way to the podium and was caught by Usher
Rock legends little Richard and jerry lee lewis sharing the same stage
Kanye West’s off key tribute to his late mama

The Bad

Jay Z “translating” for Rhi Rhi as if to imply her accent is so thick that we couldn’t understand her. What an insult to Barbadians everywhere!Most of the performances were mind numbingly boring
The prolonged Beatles tribute was unbearable until the church choir saved it at the end
Chris Brown taking his old lady manager to the Grammys as his date. I guess we can put those Rihanna rumors to bed now.
The idiot who told Rihanna to “wrap it up” during her acceptance speech while allowing Herbie Hancock to ramble on during his speech
Will.I.Am singing the ridiculous Grammy song. Will somebody tell him he is not Wyclef Jean
Herbie Hancock winning album of the year over Amy Winehouse. Did anybody even buy his
album? And what’s the difference between record of the year and album of the year anyway?

The Ugly

Niggers Nas and Kelis wearing their self proclaimed identities on their backs
The awful outfit and shoes worn by Alicia Keys during her performance with John Mayer (her stylist must really have it in for her)
Soulja Boy Tell ’em and Chris Brown dressed to unimpress
Just about every dress worn to the Grammys
Tameka Foster Raymond subbing for Usher’s bodyguard

Good list, Sandra! I completely missed Rihanna motioning Jay to back off. Too funny!

OMG Sandra LOL!

How can we forget Rihanna snatching Jay-z up without an eye contact, hug or an acknowledgement of Beyonce Knowles. If looks could kill Solange straight soned Rihanna..lol! Now that was the greatest Grammy moment at all. Not sure how I feel about that joke Usher made about Kanye either but from the pics, it looked like an apology was in order right afterwards.

Sandra that pic of Chris and his manager..you know you wrong. LOL! you ain’t right
Naima

Alicia’s outfit is not that bad, its her hair, whoever said that bi-racial hair is “good” hair has never seen some of her styles. Did you notice she wasn’t really playing the piano?
I understand West Indians dialect better than a lot of those southern rappers and I am American.
Are you comparing how Rihanna and the legendary Herbie Hancock should be treated by the Grammy’s?
Amy did ok for an Rehaber, she won for best pop album though. They have Ray Ray’s in London?
If it wasn’t for her I would have turned off after Beyonce/Tina
J Gats Juice

Sigh…. Who wants to start this off? Helluva10, Bird, AaronMichael? Somebody please say something before I burst!!!!!!!!!!
hellava10

I didn’t get her motioning him to back off since she snatched him from his seat next to Beyonce and dragged him on the stage with her. Morris Day and his camp had to share the stage with the large head girl in the turkey outfit. She blew the whole set. How do you match up a classic like them with her boo boo vocals? At least Tina and Beyonce had a good fit. I was so excited to see Tina. She looks AMAZING for 70, her rolls are a little slower but that woman was in 4 inch heels!!
We need to set up a prayer circle for Aretha, she looks like she is 2 chickens away from cardiac arrest.
Nas and Kelis – they just need a hug and will do anything for attention. I think it’s a disgrace (regardless of their ‘reason’). We have come to far for too long to belittle ourselves for a flash from the camera.
I was actually impressed with Amy Winehouse – she might be crackish, but she actually has good vocals -even on the white girl, she sounds better than Rihanna!
HOT DAMN HERBIE!!!!!!! Bout time!!!!!!
kdillon

Rihanna is the cutest, I really like how she is owning herself right now.
Alicia is always great and beautiful.
Nas and Kelis should not have worn his to the Grammy’s…..I saw Nas in L.A. on Friday and we spoke, but now im not feeling him that much.

TINA & BEYONCE –
THE INTRO WAS TERRIBLE! WHY DID BEYONCE USE DEJA VU TO NAME SUCH GREAT ARTIST? AND TO THROW TO DA LEFT TO DA LEFT IN THERE MADE MY STOMACH HURT. TINA KILLED IT WITHOUT B………DID ANYONE NOTICE THAT BEYONCE STEPPED ON TINA’S FOOT? TINA LOOKED DOWN LIKE SHE WAS GOING TO SLAP HER.
hellava10

Whew, I even held back.
kdillon

Also, I must say Solange was going to slap Rihanna, the whole vibe was weird. Solange kinda reached to shake Rihanna’s hand but R. turned and grabbed Jay (CLASSIC).
I really wish Janet Jackson would have performed.
Dt2

HATERS…TINA IS OLD AND DID HER BEST CONSIDERING SHE IS A SENIOR CITIZEN HOWEVER I THOUGHT THE PERFORMANCE WAS REALLY GOOD…IT MAY BE ME BUT SANDRA MAY JUST BE JEALOUS OF BEY..NOW THE WHOLE JAY Z, RHIANNA SNATCHING HIM UP I DIDNT CATCH AND I HAVE TIVO I REWINDED AND REWINDED AND REWINDED IT BUT HE WAS ALREADY OUT HIS SEAT..AND I DIDNT GET ALL THAT BUT I FORGET U HATE BEYONCE SO WHAT EVER YOU CAN GRAB YOU RUN WITH IT…SOME CUTE LIGHT SKINNED MUST OF BULLIED YOU IN HS..OR LIKE RAN AWAY WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND YOU HAVE IT OUT FOR HER…THATS TO MUCH READING INTO ALL OF THAT..WOW
phineinphilly

I thought the tina/bey performance could have been better. Bey looked a little lost at some points and dam near knocked tina over at the end. I must say those outfits made her legs look HUGE…and thats not a compliment.. I hate her hair and the make up was even scarier. She needs a new stylist…NOW!

I love alicia but that hair and lipstick was a big no-no.

Solange a/k/a juwanna man never fails to look a hot mess.

I dont get all the hype about amy whinehouse. Her performance looked like she was going through withdrawl.

Kanye’s performance was ho-hum, his tribute to his mom was very moving until he starting rambling & his arrogance took over.
http://www.myspace.com/birdshu Bird

Keyshia and Fantasia have rightfully made every worst dressed list in the industry for their evening gown/tattoo combos. Nas and Kelis made fools of themselves and I was thoroughly underwhelmed by all of the performances. Not one knocked my sock off so after a while I just turned it off. So I missed Ri Ri and Jay. Gonna have to look it up on YouTube.

As for Keyshia, other than the tatoo she was too adorable. She might want to consider doing like Even and putting makeup on her oversized arm tat when she wants to get glammed up in the future.
LB

Bad outfit or not, Alicia is over it. My girl wins Grammy’s for sport! lmao
prettybrwngrl

well…for me ms. tina did not need bey at all. however, i did catch rhi-rhi snatching jay up and it looked like there was something that had took place between those two prior. especially with the hand out. she was waaayyy to comfortable.
jcroft

WOW Sandra…that’s all you had for your bad list? Well, for one I didn’t like Beyaki’s weave. it was a hott mess. And it was really dry.
niastar

I definitely felt the sexual tension between Jay and Rhianna. as for your list…BOOOO!!!! 2 times.
niastar

Except for the Barack Obama part and the Little Richard part

OBAMA ’08
free

lmao @ naima! the minute amy shouted out to “ray ray” i was through.
Tasia

@ Ms Rose how come you never blast RiRi for supposedly beening Jay’s sideline piece. B’s and Solange reactions only add more weight to the rumours. You must have got the low down by now! what are your thoughts?

RiRi should concentrate on modelling only as I think she has come this far based on the lack of talent/ good music out, although some of her tracks are OK, overall her vocals are wack. But I love her style.

Also Ms Rose what do you have against Usher and Tameka as I’ve noticed recently you hardly ever post anything about them. But personnal I do think he hurt his career etc.. since going public with her.
miguellopez

@dt2,

exactly. WHEN RIHANNA NAME AND JAY NAME WAS CALLED, JAYZ, BEYONCE, SOLANGE AND OTHERS STOOD UP. rihanna went to jayz and hugged him then she decided to bring him on stage, etc. rihanna did that cause she was extremely excited. if it was u all u guys would do things not being aware of things. it was all excitement.

@sandra, RIHANNA WON FOR BEST RAP/SUNG CATEGORY. umbrella has a rap and singin part which makes up the collabo. get it right, sandra.

@rihrih haters, WOW, HOW DOES IT FEEL THAT ALL THE PULLIN DOWN AINT DID SHITE BUT GIVE HER A GRAMMY AWARD?

@hellava10, u should be shamed fuh sayin white girl sound better than rihanna when the same drug addict upstaged beyonce’s 10 year career. irreplaceable was beyonce’s biggest and most successful hit to dat, yet a drug addict came along without all the vocals on the track and upstaged BEYONCE. beyonce is yet to win a general category field. all her awards are in r&b categories. no record of the year, no song of the year, no best new artist, no album of the year for BEYONCE. yet 10 years in the game and amy winehouse came and upstaged her.
tina12

Beyonce and Tina & Kanye had the best performance of the night! The Time upstaged Rihanna big time!LOL

ms.peaches

OMG I am so mad I missed this event but judging from some of SR’s pics I see I didn’t miss much especially since my boo didn’t perform however I would have sold a kidney to see the look everyone said Solange gave Rhianna when she snatched him up(lol), also is Alicia trying to bring the 80’s back & no one got the newsletter? Thats my girl & all but what’s going on? Damn Nas & Kelis, well his new album is suppose to be called Ni**er so I guess they are advertising it!! I can just imagine the looks on those white folks faces when they came down the red carpet!!! & What did Usher say to Kanye to warrant an apology? I hate missing stuff but I was watching my show(WIRE)!! Helluva, Jgats,Aaron, somebody tell me what I missed(lol)!!
tina12

Irreplaceable came out in 2006. I wouldn’t expect it to win. Now Umbrella just came out 6 months ago. I was surprised it only got an award for a Rap song and it wasn’t even a rap song!
niastar

Amy does sound better than Rihanna, thats just the truth. Have to give props to Miss Tina Turner, SHE DID HER THING. End of Beyonce’s career, I really don’t think so Sandra…you just wish it was. Oh and that mess on Keyshia’s head IS NOT CUTE. She look like she is trying to do a Rihanna. Why can’t people just be themselves?
niastar

Umbrella won for best rap/sung collaboration…pay attention people.
ms.peaches

1 more thing if Rhianna won a grammy for Umbrella, the question would be would she get it if Jay wasn’t on the song cause if I’m not mistaken if it weren’t for him she wouldn’t be anywhere, yeah I said it WHAT, I ‘m so sick of people kissing this girls ass, for what? & no I am not a Beyonce rider either, but seriously it’s time to get off girlfriend bra strap cause she is not the only female out here doing something!!
http://notenoughrealmen.blogspot.com 2thick4u

I loved the Tina and Beyonce Collabo.

Hated Rihanna dress…liked the performance!!!

Hate on Amy all you…Rehab is a hot ass track and her band is ridiculious:)!!!
VicKaLiCious

Rihanna was a H.A.M. It was sad, because you can tell she was really trying. Poor girl has no real talent, except for wearing SOME clothes well. Her stylist really missed the mark, doing TOO much, dos muchos. I think she made a fool of herself. Her costumes are getting more attention than her performance.

It was Jay-Z’s award too, so why wouldn’t he go up there? Rap/Sung Collaboration…
pinkvirgo

I know many have said it b4 me but Rhianna ruined the Time set. I was pissed!She such an awful dancer as well. Amy Winehouse was killing me with those expressions and screaming my Blake.(classic)she’s a gangsta!Tina scared me,she looks great for her age however she looked like one of those dancing bears from showbiz pizza. It was a bit weird for me.@ Miguel winning a grammy means nothing,hell they gave on to freakin Milli Vanilli!I don’t think that Rhi is Jays side piece to me it seems like a big bro or uncle type of relationship.
VicKaLiCious

@Sandra

Rihanna putting her hand up to stop Jay signaled the end of her career. LMAO…

He isn’t with Def Jam anymore…what’s gonna happen now?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Allow me to translate sugar plum, by white girl I meant cocaine, powder, drugs, illegal narcs, dust, blow. I ain’t shamed of squat- I would laugh out loud if the Grammy’s presented an award to a song that came out 2 years ago. Go back and look at the video, the entire audience stood up to clap and she pulled a skank move that should have gotten her laid out on the ground if Beyonce had any hood in her. Keisha Cole/Fantasia/Kelis would have smooth laid the trick out-period-she is a swagger jacker. Allow me to translate that too — Beyone might as well turn back the sheets, Ri is banging her man and threw it in her face on live TV.

ms.peaches – it was actually a decent show that proved flipped and didn’t pass out awards to the fan favorites….feather wearing large head girl included.
trina@atl

Ok, the B & Tina performance was just ok, nothing to brag about. B was wrong for that lip sync talking intro mess she did and for that outfit. The show as boring overall but the Grammys mostly always is. I love Tina and all of the other old performers but some of them look like they were rolled out of th nursing home to be at the show, please let their careers stay dead. The look Solo gave Rhi Rhi was funny and priceless, when she grabbed up Jay. This is the first time he has ever went on the stage when he won an award for a collaboration. Remember the years at the BET awards when him and B won and he let her go on stage by herself.
Tasia

Beyonce is not out of the game and Amy deserved the awards she received over B. As an artist I think she needs to take a leaf out of Ms Keys book who has continuously grown and improved lyrically over time. Something that cannot be said for Beyonce. She has mastered stage performance, presence, Style to an extent, vocals etc..

Now its time for her to take a break in order to grow as a solo artist.
kdillon

RIRI ISNT GOING ANYWHERE, SHE HAS ALREADY MADE HER MARK SO WITH OR WITHOUT JAY Z SHE WILL HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CAREER. MADONNA CANT SING A LICK BUT BECAUSE SHE HAS GREAT STYLE, PERSONALITY, BEAUTY, AND SHE IS TRENDY PEOPLE FLOCK TO HER AND THE SAME WITH RIH. I LIKE HOW RIHANNA CHANGES HER STYLE UP AND TRIES TO BE DIFFERENT…..NO SHE IS NOT THE BEST SINGER BUT WHO I NOW? B. SCREAMS AND HAS TO MANY VOICE ECHOS TO MAKE IT SOUND THEY WAY IT DOES- NOT TO COMPARE BUT DANG PEOPLE. RIHANNA ISNT TRYING TO ACT LIKE SHE IS PERFECT OR LIKE SHE IS ABOVE EVERYONE…..I REALLY THINK SHE HAS A LONG FUTURE AHEAD, ESPECIALLY OVER SEAS.
http://mskimba412.blogspot.com ms.kimba412

Rihanna can’t sing, but she always looks good.
Tina killed it! I didn’t recognize her at 1st ‘cuz her hair was kinda done. Bey was good,too – but Tina didn’t necessarily need her.
Good point, Bird – re: covering up the tats. Not a good look in a gown.
Thought Amy Winehouse’s performance was outstanding. Loved how surprised she was.
The Time was a complete surprise, and Morris Day is a mess. I saw them in concert w/Prince, and they stole the show from HIM!
http://mskimba412.blogspot.com ms.kimba412

@helluva10: I can SO see Keyshia/Fantasia/Kelis whooping that behind!
pinkvirgo

can someone up a link where solo looked at ri ri sideways? I did’nt see it.
prettybrwngrl

tasia: i agree. it’s time for bey to hang it up. she had a good run now it’s come to an end.
http://yahoo.com Dr. 90210

Wow I can’t believe Kelis and Nas wore that. I can’t say anything but wow.
http://www.myspace.com/ramajcredit CreditDiva

Grammy’s okay this year, but Amy Winehouse killed it to me! Man that chick can blow despite the obvious. She is very talented, very!!!

I think Rhi-Rhi was just really excited, I don’t think she meant any harm by doing that. I thought it was cute and yeah she sraight went past Bey like what….; )
trina@atl

Sandra you were right to call Nas & Kellis N’s since they are acting like one. That was by far the worst thing of the night, I was just glad they did not present an award and they had that mess on, it is bad enough to have all of these photos of them floating around.
trina@atl

Also since 50 cent was not even nominated for the best rap album award and Kanye won it, can he officially leave the music business. Since he said if Kanye out sold him he would, well he out sold him and won a grammy, so please leave.
http://yahoo.com Dr. 90210

Solange shoes are a mess. Beyonce really needs to step in and help her sister asap. Her style in always wack.
http://yahoo.com Dr. 90210

Solange shoes
pinkvirgo

It’s so funny how despite trying to get attention no one even paid any attention to Nas or Kelis.I’m sorry to all the ppl who think that Bey should hang it up. She’s not going anywhere.So u might as well get used to it. She might take a vacation because she is oversaturating the market but trust she’ll be back. Hell shes only 26.Hey if it was,u would get it too. I ain’t mad at Bee she can’t help it that she stayed hot just like MJB.Other artists pray for that kind staying power.
prettybrwngrl

bey is not no d*mn 26 more like 36!
http://www.myspace.com/bettathaniwasb4 2bme

hahahahaa..i’m officially DONE with you..chile you a mess!
prynsexxx

That pic of Amy Winehouse looks like Prince impersonating Amy Winehouse – LOL

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Bey win 5 Grammys one year. She ended up on Oprah the next day.

I luv Keyshia’s jet black hair. The style, well er uhm……..the color is soooo much better than that blonde she’s been rockin’.
MissGauzzz

***********************************************************
LMAO!!! My best friend says the same thing! She swears to hell and back that Bey is at least 33!
VicKaLiCious

@kdillon…

did say that Madonna has beauty? LOL I think that’s a bit of a overstatement…great body for someone over 50 but damn beauty and madonna shouldn’t be in the same sentence.

The BIG i mean BIG difference between Madonna and Rihanna is that Madonna can entertain a crowd. She is a true ENTERTAINER. What dance moves did Rihanna move besides throwing her hand in the air? Stop comparing Rihanna to GREATS cuz Rihanna isn’t great at what she does. She isn’t even mediocre at best. Rihanna murdered Umbrella, I said it on other blogs and I’ll say it here, white folks realized how horrible she really is last night. She shouldn’t have even been allowed to perform. All the hype for NOTHING.
http://www.trinityrivergroup.com LiseyC

B’s performance wasn’t that good. Even my husband thought she looked fat. I told him that it was what she was wearing that made her thighs look so big.
RiRi’s performance with the Time was absolutely AWFUL!! There wasn’t a good blending of the two songs and then she looked like a board trying to do the classic Time moves. I was surprised Morris Day didn’t bump her a** off of the stage with that mess she came out with.
Uh, and Amy may be a crackhead, but, the girl got pipes. She put Bey to shame as long as she wasn’t doing her crack wiggle. (OMG, BLAKEEEEEE!!) The girl needs jesus, seriously, LOL…..
Solange didn’t have relevance for being at the Grammy’s or even presenting. It was pretty funny when Chris Brown cut in front of her when they were walking up to the mike. Priceless.
How about Vince Gill’s diss of ‘Ye… Oh yes, the whole place went into hysterical laughter. Next time ‘Ye, show some humility and class. The whole place was feeling you cause of your mama’s passing and then you had to ruin it by opening your mouth with your constant whining. Geez, grow up..
Tina DID NOT need Bey on stage with her. She was doing just fine by herself.
Note to Bey, your man was (yeah, I said was, not is) doing RiRi, but, she just did you a favor by shutting him up on national TV. Yeah, he might be done with that piece now.. ummm hmmm… Freaking hilarious….
I thought that ALicia looked fab. Wish I could wear a pair of pants like that…
Aretha, no words for the yellow dress…. none at all….
http://www.myspace.com/aaronmichaelofatm AaronMichael

Did anyone else notice Rihanna’s legs in the feather duster dress picture? Now that’s funny.
tina12

Here’s the link and Rih Rih was a giddy school girl. She was just excited. Beyonce and Solange were smiling the whole time. She grabbed Jay by the wrist. She was laughing and covering her mouth on stage like a happy child. Beyonce is too secure to be worried about foolishness.

http://www.ultimate-rihanna.com/vide…ammy-win08.mpg
pinkvirgo

I forget all about Aretha. Why does she insist on wearing these outfits that reveal those arms and hilltops she calls breast. My mama said Aretha ain’t getting no R E S P E C T looking like that .lmao
http://www.myspace.com/aaronmichaelofatm AaronMichael

I didn’t catch the whole show but I did see the part when Rihanna snatched up Jay and there was no acknowledgement whatsoever between her and Beyonce. They seemed a little too buddy buddy especially with his woman sitting right there an all. If something like that happened anywhere else…females would have been throwin down. Looks like Jay might be under more than just her umbrella ella ella ay ay.

I’m just sayin’
NyNy

Yeah Beyonce won five Grammy’s in one night……and so did Lauren Hill,Alicia Keys and Norah Jones!!!! So what Beyonce is sooooooo overrated as well as Rihannia! I am so tired of hearing about these two women GEEEEZZZZ!!!! ENOUGH ALREADY! Amy Winehouse sounded awful like someone stated before. She sounded like she had just got a taste and came out to sing. Do not get me wrong I think she has a wonderful voice but she did not sound well last night.
J Gats Juice

Sigh… Ok I think I’ll say whats on my mind now.

First of all, Tina & Beyonce’s performance & Kanye’s was outstanding!! I know its every black girl’s dream to do the “rollin” routine. How many of us did that routine as kids? Kanye is so strong for even performing that song without completely breaking down.

Rihanna’s career is runnin neck & neck with Soulja Boy after she shushed the man that made her. Oh and trust, Beyonce & Solange are gonna thug it out & flatten that hoe tires for that ish she pulled (LOL)

Amy Winehouse… LOL… It was like she was tryin to tell everybody that her ass aint ever goin to rehab. And to prove it, she sung her song good & high!!

Poor Kelis being dick whipped by Nas & cant see the forest for the trees. The dick cant be that good where u would actually wear a N!993R shirt to the grammys. Hey Kelis, NEWSFLASH!!!! White folks did not find that cute & u will never release another album under a major label!! But it is kinda funny cuz they would’ve never did that at the Source Awards!!

I’m not gonna say it again… If Keyshia reads what we write, then her ass would’ve already fired her cousin/stylist.

I’m happy for usher & tameka… He has something that so many ppl live for. Real love & a healthy, happy family.

@Miguellopez, I think its time for u to take ur meds now, sweetie. Enjoy the jello….

prettybrwngrl

tina 12: you might be wrong with the bey being secure thing. i was told jay was on the radio this am talking about how rhi-rhi and bey got into it. i’m sure he loved every minute of that. stroking his ego. cause the looks of it last night it’s huge…
pinkvirgo

I agree J Gats Usher seems so happy.I’m happy for him.
pinkvirgo

I douby pretty that Jay said that he never talks abt he and Bey’s personal life directly. He would’nt even tell E who had more shoes between them,so I doubt very seriously that he would give details about some so called fight between his women and his protege’.
http://www.myspace.com/mzmekpage Tmekio

What the HELL was Nas and Kelis thinking about??????
tina12

LOL, Prettybrwngrl, Jay would never disrespect Bee or talk about foolishness regarding his relationship with anyone. Did you read his last article? He says, he and Bee just laugh at all the internet stories and rumors. They are very secure. The video shows it all that Beyonce was confident and congratulating them on the achievement.
tina12

Here’s a video of Tina Turner singing Beyonce’s praises. Look for Tina’s pic in the video section.

I just saw the performsnce of Tina & Bey it was good it was alot better than Rhianna skit(lol) Did she step on Tina’s foot towards the end though? Jgats ur crazy as hell girl, I though I was bad!!!!
Prettybrwngrl what did Rhianna & Bey get into it for(lol) thats real **** if they did, people think cause they are celebs that they don’t go through real problems I bet she wanted to whip that lil girl ass!! I swear I would pay top dollar to see that, however Rhianna would only get a restraining order, all she has to do is ask Sandra she knows the procedure(lmao)

That’s always been my thoughts but then how can we explain Sandra’s obsession with Rhi… she’s light as ever. And don’t tell me Barbadians only come in high yellow. They roll in all shades like the rest of the world.
And not to mention all the other light skinned women Sandra secretly covets… LoL.

@VicKaLiCious:
RiRi is just getting into her own but in a year or two she will have it down, look how much she has grown in a year.
Madonna was working it back in the day, her beauty was her independence, sexuality, and the many looks she experimented with…just because she wasn’t flawless doesn’t mean she’s wasn’t beautiful. When Madonna first debuted on MTV Awards she was crawling on the stage singing “Like a Virgin”, it was later when she really came into her own. Madonna can’t sing that well, my point is RiRi will have longevity because she is stylish, beautiful, and different…..Alot of people cut their hair like Rihanna because she is a trend setter unlike some other female artist. Today its not all about how great you sing (it should be).
http://www.smokiesays.blogspot.com/ Smokie

I’m a Nas fan, but I think this was a bit much.

And re: the Jay-Z/Rihanna situationL, I think she’s just young and doesn’t know the proper respect when running up to someone’s man. She did know just how to hug him though. Wasn’t a first hug. Seems like she knew the fit of his body.

Or, I’m just analyzing NOTHING too much.
http://www.smokiesays.blogspot.com/ Smokie

and the only reason Sandra is loving Rihanna RIGHT NOW is b/c she hates BEYONCE so much. If Bey is ever pushed out the way and if Rihanna ever really learns how to perform her azz off (ala Bey), Sandra will start to hate Ri too.
missmiami

After reviewing the link below in my opinion it was all in good fun. They were both joking but there is some history because there was like the high school crush vibe going on. Didn’t quite get to see Solange face but I am sure B and Jay are married now and B probably told him what she was not having prior to the arrival at the grammy’s.

istandbehindtheIam

Overall the Grammys were sedative, I popped in and out to catch Tina/Bey, and like most of you’all here, Tina could’ve pulled it off without Bey, but Bey wasn’t bad either.
The most disturbing to me was Kanye’s acceptance speech, God bless him, but something ain’t right about that man child, and you can’t solely say it has to do with his mom passing because he was doing it before she passed away. It was just so weird and awkward.
Amy Winehouse, God bless her, has a great vocals but doggone it you can’t understand what the he** she’s sayin’, it sounds like she’s got marbles in her mouth. If she can stay crack/heroin free she might go places…I really like her style too, she just needs good mentors. She is straight gangsta though, esp during that song “I ain’t no good” or something like that, she look ready for a bar room brawl.

Jay looks like he wants to punch her in the back of that watermelon head!!!

tina ruled the world. she didn’t need any help . she was working them legs . i am surprised that beyonce/sasha didn’t try to upstage tina . kanye’s performance was hot and i loved the tribute to his mama. he could have kept some of his comments to himself when he accepted his award though .

as much as i love kelis , her and nas were dead wrong. as smokie said , that was too much . not the appropriate place for all that . i admire them for taking a stand on what they believe in but they are going about it the wrong way .

sandra you are wrong for that list lmao
licia

oh and i didn’t get to see the rhianna / the time performance and i don’t want to see it. i don’t know any song that the time has ever recorded that would fit with umbrella . lmao the time could have just performed alone as well.
istandbehindtheIam

Ok, I’m a little slow here, but what the he** is Nas and Kelis tryin to prove and why wasn’t this censored by the Grammys, I swear we take two steps forward and then fools like this send us five steps back….dayum!

I agree…Usher did look happy sitting next to his Manwoman….he gets the best of both worlds just the way he likes it.

LMAO! Sandra, you are a trip, but I feel you!

J Gat – you did hold back well.
Morris Day had some interesting comments about the other artists. I forgot where I saw that.

I read somewhere else that Ri denied dating Jay, they may not date but he got a taste.

@kdillon

My point exactly Madonna was doing memorable things early in her career. What did Rihanna do during her perfomance that will go down in history. She just walked back and forth. She doesn’t do anything special. Just because she has a great stylist it doesn’t mean she will be around for years to come. She doesn’t have anything special to offer, except a hair cut, that someone wore before her.

Madonna crawling on the stage will always be remembered. Please tell me what to date Rihanna has done that won’t be forgotten? Please don’t mention hair or clothes.

Sandra wants so badly to be Beyonce…Maybe in your next life Sandra. LOL

i’ve reviewed the video a few times and don’t see any of the “mess” that folks are talking about. solange and bey were standing up clapping, and jay had his arms outstretched and was smiling as she came around. she hugged him and dragged him onstage like many other people do when they think the person might not want to go up. it was her time to shine. solange and bey needed to fall back. it ain’t like rihanna tried to tongue kiss jay or anything.
bridgette30318

how is it that you guys can give a response using the N word on the good bad and the Ugly that wasnt nice at all i didnt appreciate that one bit

Shut the front door, Rihanna’s pigeon feather dress was horrendous! At least when Bjork wore the swan dress she admitted it was a joke. Tina looks great for her age, he solo performance was better than the duet. I actually like Beyonce’s hair for once, well not the color but the length looks good. I loved Kanye’s performance, that man loved his mama. I thought Amy did good. I hope that poor child gets all the help she can, she is extremely talented.

THANK YOU FREE!!! All these Trouble making, peace hating, drama feigning instigators are too much on here. Ya’ll are trying to make something beautifully innocent into something scandalous… SMH. Really people, you should tune into Daytime Soaps or maybe even your own lives if you’re starving for some manufactured mess.

Anyway, overall I enjoyed the Grammys. My favorite moment was seeing Bey and Ms. Tina bless the stage. Love me some John Mayer lips’, so I enjoyed seeing him with A Keys – they did great. Kanye’s tribute to his Moma touched me, as expected. I didn’t know Kid Rock had such a nice voice, I was impressed. Oh, and Amy Winehouse was entertaining… had no idea she was so HOOD… Love it.
hellava10

What would be the purpose if we ALL agreed with EVERYTHING Sandra posted? Who needs soaps….this is all the way live.

I KNOW what I saw live and I agree, the pictures don’t reveal the expressions the live camera panned with the large head girl who rocks fowl feathers. I simply do not understand how what she did can be taken as beautiful and innocent. I don’t hug any man full front except my husband and for damn sure wouldn’t have the audacity to do what she did, as she did, a few days after addressing it in an interview. If I were she, he would have received a high five/dap, head nod, a verbal “will you come up here with me”. I’m not dragging nobody else’s man NOWHERE.

To hellava10 – Go back and look at the video, the entire audience stood up to clap and she pulled a skank move that should have gotten her laid out on the ground if Beyonce had any hood in her. Keisha Cole/Fantasia/Kelis would have smooth laid the trick out-period-she is a swagger jacker. Allow me to translate that too — Beyone might as well turn back the sheets, Ri is banging her man and threw it in her face on live TV.

To, hellava10 & ms.peach – Here is something for you 2 to chew on. Enjoy!

Wow, the way you are going after this young woman you would swear you know her personally!! I wonder how these people can generate such attention and loathing from us without us even being in their sphere! To hellava10 as for your comment that Beyonce should have slapped Rihanna it just boggles the mind! What exactly did she do that was as you put it a “skank move”?? The girl owes her success to that man…for her to not have acknowledged him would have been bad. She did not owe Beyonce or her sister any acknowledgement what so ever! And to you ms.peach yes there are other singers out there and she is not the only one no one is disputing that…but last night was a big night for her, so can she get her 15 mins in the lime light without all of you hating on her!

WE DO NOT KNOW ANY OF THESE PEOPLE PERSONALLY and probably never will. To hellava10, Rhianna is young and this is her first taste of fame, allow her to do her thing and when you have solid facts to go on about her horrific personality, and behavior then you can talk…until then keep your hate and anger to yourself!

How you doin?!?!
istandbehindtheIam

@bridgette30318

I understand how you felt when I first read the post, and then I saw the pictures, but let me ask you this, how did you appreciate them “two” actually showing up with “NIGGER” in bold gold, in front of millions. I’m still tryin’ to figure that one out. We sure don’t need the help of “hate” groups….we do a good job of hating ourselves. Right?
claire

the grammies were overall boring but, get em alicia keep doing your thing ma! beyonce and tina performance were good i liked it! i was not too thrilled with rhianna and the time but i was happy rhianna got her grammy! also i saw the look solange gave rhianna and it was not a love fest, i saw nothing wrong with what rhianna did being as jayz on the song with her but the playing and joking on stage looked little suspect to me! amy winehouse has a nice voice and i love her music so far!

I so mad that I missed it! When did it come on?

OH MY CAN I JUST SAY NAS AND KELIS WERE A HOT MESS IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD GROWN PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT CAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO SUPPPORT SHOULD NOT BEHAVE IN THAT MANNER. SHE KNEW BETTER SHE SHOULD TOLD HIM TO PUT SOME DAMN DECENT CLOTHES ON. FANTASIA AND YOUNG DRO I AIN’T MAD AT IT I THINK THEY ARE CUTE AND SHE LOOKED NICE. THE KEY TO HER HAIRSTYLE IS ONLY WEAR BLACK OR WHITE CLOTHING BECAUSE IF SHE WEARS ANYTHING ELSE SHE WOULD LOOK GOOD AN CRAZY. I THINK EVERY LOOKED NICE AND THE PERFORMANCES WERE GOOD. RIHANNA LOOKED STUNNING. I REALLY ENJOYED MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME I AM OLD SKOOL. AS ALWAYS SANDY IT IS A TRUE PLEASURE TO READ YOUR BLOG AND SITE YOUR COMMENTARY IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. I ALSO LIKE THE UPDATE YOU GAVE ON KEYSHIA AND JEEZY WHATEVER THEY DOING I HOPE THERE HAPPY SHE LOOKED WONDERFUL AT THE GRAMMYS SHE DOESN’T NEED TO GO BACK TO THAT BLEACHED HAIR IT IS NOT BECOMING OF HER TRUE BEAUTY. AS ALWAYS THANKS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT……ALL THE WAY FROM BOSTON, MA HOLLA AT YA GIRL

As much as I agree with about 90% of all of that, I do have to say that I might be that 1% that bought Herbie Hancock’s CD. I’m a jazz-head. The man is one of our greatest pianists plus did you listen to his acceptance speech? That last Album of the Year for a jazz artist he was talkin’ about was for Getz/Gilberto – Stan Getz – who is now known for ushering in bossa nova music to the states. Still – the fact that a black man who performs the only original American music (created by our people, btw) is not even the last person to win a jazz award for Album of the year…bah, it disgusts me. I loved his very cool shout out to Barack at the end of his speech. Don’t get it twisted – Herbie Hancock is not one of those Clinton Negroes – trust. I applaud the man for still bringing his A-Game to what is known as a pop industry and a youth market.

@ Miguellopez

Thats what I said, I clearly said that he was already up out of his seat, that I tivo’ed it and did not catch her snatch him up…so clearly U can’t read or read what you wanted to read…Selective reading Huh?

@ j gats

Now we have had our run ins but this time I LUV YA!! funny, you hit it right on Miguellopez is nuts..right on!! and your comment well put if I say so my self
mrswatson

I was glad to see my girl Bey toned down the werewolf weave a tad bit…I thought her outfit during the performance w/Tina Turner (although it had Ms. Tina Knowles all over it) was made to be similar to things worn by Tina Turner in the past. They were great to me, Tina still got it!

Kanye reminds me of my cousin w/ADD….I enjoyed his perfomance, but I can notice that ADD excitability anywhere! I cannot remember if the line he kept repeating “last night I saw you in my dreams, now I cant wait to go to sleep” was an original verse from the song. I would think NOT because the song was recorded before Dr. West passed…it was nonetheless VERY touching for me. Glad to know he took home 4 Grammys.

Usher looked ugly, THE TIME took me back to being a little kid and looooving THE TIME/Prince rivalry and all-out AWESOME r&b/funk. I thought the only thing that gave Rhianna permission to even share a stage w/the Time was that she looked a little like Prince LOL…and the only energy I will spend on her televised win was she AND Jigga BOTH won. They were SHARING the moment. It was well deserved and I didn’t see anything rude on her part or hateful on Bey and Solange’s part.

Okay…well Kelis and Nas…ahhhh! I still love them! Hello his album is called Nigger so it’s called advertising and making a statement. I don’t agree with the word BUT i gotta say i agree how that gurl stands by her man. That’s why they are gonna make it!
I think people make a big deal about Bey and Rihanna and Jay-Z…come on…stop causing controversy when their is none. Get ova it. But i must say that Rhi is getting a big head (even bigger) for a girl that didn’t write the song, didn’t direct the video, didn’t rap (and the song was hotter cuz of Jay-Z’s rap…hello!), and can’t really sing all that well. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! she is cute, but aint no star for her talent.
And Sandra…u KNOW u wrong about calling Tameka Usher’s bodyguard. dag. She is not THAT big. Plus she just had a baby and has had several others…she actually looks good. And if Usher likes it then shouldn’t we love it??? Eyeah…thanks.
hellava10

Deelze, you should feel better now that you’ve got that out….as if I’m the only one who had those thoughts, but since you directly addressed me…I don’t jump on band wagons and I believe what I believe. This is just simply my opinion on an opinion posting blog. I don’t expect you to agree with me or like it. Move around me and read the ‘good’ stuff that agrees with your tastes. As for Rihanna, what I say didn’t keep her from winning a Grammy did it?
nikiSixx

“Herbie Han**** is not one of those Clinton Negroes”

Did you SEE his wife??
beaute101

I thought Bey and Tina’s performance was hot. I felt like Bey toned it down not to outshine Tina. I thought Tina still brought it to be almost 70. I just wished Tina would have showed her legs.
Diva2myheart

You know what beaute101.. You beat me to the punch. I think Beyonce did an excellent job of toning it down some.. Because we know our girl is a SHOW STOPPER. At all times. I’m so proud of Beyonce. And I will always love Tina. I was very pleased with there performance !!
Nic

Sandra,

You appear to be quite naive about the industry! And your opinions are polar to mine! But we agree: that was the official end of any reign Beyonce may have enjoyed. She took home no awards, right? She looked ridiculous.
TsC

I honestly wonder how many people would be bitchin about Nas and Kelis red carpet appearance if this was the Source or BET awards. The problem is that many of you still have that House Negro mentality; concerned about what white people might think. If Nas and Kelis was walking down the streets of Soho, NYC rocking their gear, a good majority of yall would of not said anything. So why now? Oh I’m sorry I forgot, us Ni99as gotta behave ourselves at the Grammys. Alot of you call eachother Ni99as all the time, in front of our children, friends, family and other races and thats not a problem. But good Lord, the Jones’s wear them graphic tees on the red carpet and the Grammys…(gasp). Nas, keep doing what you are doing…
tbrown

@ 106, She toned it down so much that the entire performance WAS DAMP. I didn’t like it. Not one of my fav. performances of the night.
