@ the Answer The Call Benefit Concert held in NYC last week. I must say I am very pleased with Rihanna’s voice during this performance – girls getting better I see. And as always Jay-Z and Kanye came hard on the stage. Don’t you guys thing Rih, Ye and Jay would make a waaaaay better team than 10 Dirty Money’s (i.e. Diddy, Keelena, Dawn)?? I DO. Here goes:
Imma buy BluePrint 3, and if they come to London town, I’ll be there!
And only cause we aint seen/heard her in a while (she looks hella skinny BTW!!!!), Here’s Beyonce “DIVA” live:
So I just finished watching the BET Awards (SO UPSET I missed Janet Jack’s heartfelt speech!!), washed my face brushed my teeth and now Im ready to give yall the Ms. Zindzi’s take on the hottest show on television…..or something like that!
IN CASE YOU MISSED JANET JACKSON’S SPEECH, LIKE I DID:
…AND JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED THE JAMIE & NE-YO FINALE, LIKE I ALSO DID:
But let’s talk about more important matters…
VING ACTED UP!
Can somebody please tell me if Ving was on the ‘trone?! And if he was acting, he took it waaaay too far. I mean, swearing? NOT NEEDED!
DID BEYONCE DISAPPOINT US OR WHAT?!
I don’t know about you but after Beyonce’s performance I felt robbed! Robbed of the highlight of the night. I mean at the beginning of her performance I thought “Ok, she’s starting off slow…”, because Beyonce is an electrifying perfomer and I thought ‘Ave Maria’ was merely a lead up to ‘Ego’ or VIDEO OF THE YEAR WINNER ‘Single Ladies’ or some other recent chart-topping single. But boy was I wrong. After a string of wonderful and angelic vocals the performance was over! Yeah, over. No gyrating, no booty shaking, no glam’d out costumes, NOTHING! I wasn’t feeling her performance tonight at all. I mean really, whats with that damn wedding frock and veil? Please! Not impressed. And you know what else pissed me off?! The fact that Matthew Knowles pushed ‘Toya to the side for this disappointing Beyonce performance.
FASHION CHECK!
ROCSI – If you were locked onto BET’s 106 & Park RED CARPET special you couldn’t have missed Rocsi’s dress! Not sure who the designer was but it was ULTRA GLAM, ULTRA HAPPENING, ULTRA CUTE, ULTRA FAB! It was cuuuute! I really loved it, because it accentuated her subtle curves really well, just thought I had to mention that!
TARAJI - Oooh Child! Honey had that all covered front, long sleeve dress ULTRA SEXY low back. Reeeeal NICE.
BEYONCE – I think I kinda liked the retro look. the unmoisturized hair is what Im not too sure about. The hair looked long and dry, not a good combo Bey. You should know that Ms. L’Oreal.
MUCH PROBS TO JAY-Z!
I mean DOA is not a catchy tune but it certainly sends a message to the Hip Hop/Rap community and its doing a hell of a job by giving Jay-Z his come-back certificate. I’m looking forward to his next album….
WTH IS DRAKE???
I don’t understand this guy. I haven’t gotten the right vibe from him or his music yet and that “Best I Ever Had” song hasn’t quite reached me yet. And that performance tonight…Ummm, why was he sitting throughout. BORING! Lil Wayne and the Cash Money folk made waaaay too much noise on stage; It got to a point where it seemed like they had nothing to say or rap about…ummm, no. Spare us next time! but seriously ppl, what am I missing, what is so special about Drake?!…
JEREMIH, MY GUY!
You know what? After watching the entire BET Awards Im kinda upset that Jeremih didnt get to perfom inside. He was so good on the RED CARPET, I just though that on the actually center stage he woulda been well appreciated and well recieved.
KEYSHIA COLE & MONICA – WHAT A MESS!
Admittedly stage setup was nice, simple but nice. IDK, but I didnt like the performance at all. There were times when I would hardly be able to hear a what they were singing. And Keyshia’s hair do was a huuuge turn off and now-a-days she’s looking too skinny, not sure Im feeling that. TBH, “Trust” is one of fav. KeyCole album but I really did not enjoy the performance.
RAMDOMS:
It was nice to see Queen La on stage rapping after all this time.
Lil Mama looked a mess with that do.
Loved Ciara’s tribute piece, she did her best.
Kanye and Amber were together ALL NIGHT! I guess that kinda throws the break-up rumour out the window, or does it?
BBV performed “POISON” - OLD SKOOOOOL! I danced my heart out to that song.
Ummmm….and what was up with the Soul Train guy who gave that long-a$$ speech for The Ojays?! Woooo, thank goodness they didnt let him host the show, we mighta been watching for twice as long.
LMAO @ Eddie Levert…He made the show even more entertaining. Jamie is an incredible host!
RIP MJ…We miss you mayyyne!
PS: ALL THE PICS WILL BE IN THE NEXT POST! (I will post ‘em in the AM….Im tiiiiired!)
Not sure why I’m posting this one. Could be because Im a huge fan (Oh but you’ll already know that since 50% of what is posted on her about music is related to her) or it could be because I just wanna keep my readers in the know. For either which reason, the video is here for your viewing pleasure:
So remember a few days ago I told yall about the rumous about Beyonce’s Dad, Matthew Knowles, threatening BET to pull Beyonce from the BET Awards if they insist on also allowing ‘Toya to perform?? Well, its confirmed! The rumour is true…
And Here’s what Letoya had to say about the matter (via interview with DJ Flexx from WPGC radio):
Dj Flexx: ”Let’s just say that it’s true, how does it make you feel that Matthew would go so hard at you to get you off the show?”
LeToya: ”It saddens me a little. Because our situation happened close to 10 years ago, and I think as we all know Bey is a very very very talented artist, and I think that we both have our own lanes and fanbase, and I don’t see why I would have to be one of the ones picked out of the entire crew of females that will be hitting the stage that night. I don’t know… I’m gonna try and word this right… I just don’t understand why I’m picked outta that group because there are so many other female artists performin’ that night and I think we all deserve to have a chance at that stage. Everybody works hard and we all have something different to offer, from Keyshia to Keri to Bey, everybody is different in their own ways so it saddens me if that’s true, and I hope that’s not the case but I’ll be there regardless”.
Well said Toya!I love the way she kept it together with the question. It coulda gone a whole lot worst. She basically just reiterated everything I was tryna say in my last post. Bey is talented? YES. Is Letoya a threat to Beyonce? NO! Is Keri or Keyshia or any other female perfoming that night a threat? No! Bey is extremely talented at EVERYTHING darnnit! Every other performer will be trying to do their OWN thing ’cause they already know that Beyonce got that Beyonce/Sasha thaaaang on lock. I agree with UnknownTheArtist – I will prefer seeing Letoya do her thing live for the first time than see Beyonce AGAIN! We’ve all seen her shine, Toya needs to get a bit of that spotlight. So what the hell is Mr. Knowles big issue?! …UURRGGHHH!! This is down-right SAD! Keep you head up LeToya. Its survival of the fitest on these streets. *Side Eye* to Matthew…
Ok, you guys know I love me some Bey so I will always support her in anything positive she does. Here are her 2 latest video releases:
Ego (Remix) Ft. Kanye West
You know what?! The first time I heard Kanye’s verse I was like “WTH?!” but now hearing it along with the seeing the video, I can dig it. BTW, I think he’s cute! As for Beyonce, yall know I think she looks like a DRAGQUEEN.
Broken Hearted Girl
Sad stories! Nice video but lemme just say, I really hope that after the “I Am…” era Bey brings a bit of colour back into her issssh. Im getting tired of the B&W. PS: Did y’all see them banger curves?! Oooohh. Gwan Bey, we see you. And that Putting-The-Rose-Back-Together scene was ULTRA-cooooool. Im goofy like that and very easily impressed by techy stuff.
The new rumor going around in the land of Urban Gossip is that Mathew Knowles has threatened BET that Beyonce would not perform at the 2009 BET Awards if they insist on letting former Destiny’s Child member LeToya Luckett perform as well. – If this issh is true which I have a feeling it is. – Matthew Knowles needs to go STHD, Darnnit! We all know that Beyonce is great at what she does, heck – what DOESN’T she do?! And we see Letoya on the come-up and she’s tryna do her thing and we respect that, in fact I liked all her singles thus far. She aint a threat to Bey – and I am a HUGE Bey fan. Bey’s in a league of her own. In Fact, Beyonce does so many things that no one can be a threat to her in anyway so I really don’t see the point of Matt intimidating BET. What harm could them performing at the same award show do either artist? All it will result in is a few mentions here and there. And last time I checked ALL PR is good PR! This is really a low blow on Matt’s part. Again, this news is only in its rumor stages. Not sure if there’s any truth to it. The only thing I do know is that, according to the Official BET Awards 2009 page Bey is still on the list of performers and Letoya’s name is no where in site – I guess Toya lost this round. Wait, has she ever won? Daaaang, Matthew needs to let the girl shiiiine darrnit! SMDH!
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
