Yolanda Adams sending her message to the cheap artists... I can't! :lol:

by **Titan3510** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 1:18 am

Well...at least she can say she tried...

by **Titan3510** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 1:19 am

Can we talk about how fantastic Nicki Minaj was?

Nicki Lewinski FTW...

Kanye's 'New God Flow' verse was SO GAWDLY! I'm gonna start a church for Lord Yeezus.

D'Angelo is doing his thing. Kerry Washington, Solange, Beyonce, Common, Nicki Minaj and Jamie Foxx are vibing...

It's been a long time since I've seen some gospel-jazz being performed on stage.

Nah gurl. Nicki did "Champion" and "Beez In The Trap" and actually it was awesome!

Nice to see her improving her stage presence with some proper choreo as well. And she sounded good!

Dead @ Miss Adams giving the girls a church reading :lol:

This show is a proper mess. But I'm not surprised.

Dam, the one time in years I decide to not to stay up and watch The BET Awards tbh I was tired but it sounds like it was a great show, with lots of greats attending Beyonce & Jay Z, Chris Brown, Brandy and Monica, Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz etc, Love them all, I need to see the highlights.

by **LoveCB** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 9:33 am

Just catched up on some of the performances,Monica and Brandy did their thing, best of the night imo and I haven't watch all the performance's yet, Monica's voice is amazing and Brandy did great.

I ain't a girl :wink:

But my point was that Nicki could have sung Starships, and Chris could have sung Don't Wake Me Up, if they wanted to, but still they wont let Ciara perform a hot Urban song. Nicki & Chris just didn't perform those songs, because it would DECREASE their album sales :wink:

I know that. But people usually call everyone a "gurl" on music forums so.... :lol:

But apparently, Chris performed "Don't Wake Me Up" and "TUTM". Chris really needs to step up his game. Even though he's singing live, his performances have always been the same recently. Oh yeah, he needs a vocal coach.

by **Charmbracelet** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:05 am

The Whitney tribute was so moving, i'm so proud of Monica and Brandy! (Also, did everyone see Beyonce's face when she saw Brandy coming out!!!!!) Also, Chante Moore was amazing for the Donna Summer tribute.

It's on tomorrow night here in the UK so I will wait until then to watch the whole thing.

I know about that girl thing. I just don't take part in it :wink:

Did he really perform those songs?!

Someone hasn't seen how songs like that can backfire, when it to album sales like what happened to Usher!

Oh OK. Sorry, bro! 8-)

Yeah but seems like his Urban audience really enjoy his Dance/Pop songs as well, and people on Twitter weren't really complaining about it so yeah, it's all good lol. I bet after that performance Usher was like "Damn gooorl I should've performed "Scream"" :lol:

j/k

That's how I feel too with Chris, his losing his wow moments when he performs lately due to everything looking the same from his last performances, he needs to up his game as you put it, his losing his stage presence.

Brandy SLAYYYEEDDD!!! Did not know she could work a stage like that. She was trending on Twitter for the longest yesterday.
