Take a trip wit me, won't chu :)
The Time: Nice lil flash back! Although I hate when groups from the past try to 'wrap' something new into their old cut medley....we don't know dat shit!?! Play da shit we know & keep it movin!?! No one gives a damn about the new project....harsh, but you know you were thinking it! :) Also, was it me, or did it seem like the tempo needed to be picked up on those dance classics? I shoulda been able to let my backbone slip on "Cool"...but to no avail.....
Ceddy Ced's Intro: Cedric the Entertainer brings an instant smile to my face every time I see him! I can also appreciate a man (a big man at that) who isn't too cool to move. Work it out Ced!
Common & Marsha: Common makes me fall in love with hip hop all over again every time I see him perform! Quite the class act. That's how a 'grown man' hip hop artist is supposed to carry his self.....*take some notes Jay & Kanye!?! Now, Marsh....I love you, I truly do. But what piece of road kill back fur did someone cut that wig from for you!?! Even if it was just a fro...let your natural tresses grace your head AT ALL TIMES! -7cool points for dat shit!
Gladys Knight & The Pips Tribute: My eyes just came down and focused back in my head after rolling them so aggressively hard at Tamar actually singing something on somebody's show. Maybe now her bratty ass will have a seat for a moment. And as my Mama would say, 'she can carry a tune' but she can't sing. I don't think I have any words for the 'Honorary Pips' other than the fact that Freddie Jackson definitely crossed this one off his 'bucket list' after the performance. Chrisette, were you high baby? Something about her presence on stage tonight wasn't quite right....*kanye shrug. And WOW, Natalie Cole, you look good lady! After all you've been through....kudos to you! And Gladys and her hubby sittin there with at least 7 dye kits in their heads....who ya'll foolin!?! LOL Oh, Lady G was defiinitely sportin a wiggy....but still black as tar *lips to the side :) Love you Madame Knight! A true living legend!
CeeLo & Melanie Fiona: Now, "I'm A Fool" is one of my present jams...so I was very much looking forward to him and Melanie rockin this one! Now while I love CeeLo's eccentric style and how he's not afraid to push and downright tackle the envelope on many levels....his vibe tonight definitely made me feel like he might have been wearing some low rise panties under his ensemble! #imjussayin Do you boo!?! Hey girl Melanie! Gorgeous dahling :)
Lloyd: *crickets & blinks* A for effort? Moving on....
Miguel: I dig this dude. He's got a natural artistic energy about him. I believe him as an artist. That's hard to come by these days. Whether you're feeling his music or not, you know he's feeling it and I can appreciate that. I do dig most of his stuff though! I can bet dat...never gotta sweat dat :)
Mindless Behavior: I love these lil dudes! I think they're really talented. I just hope they don't become another B2K tragedy :(
Heavy D Tribute: Nice representation fellas....I can't even front. Everyone stayed in their lanes and kept the focus on Heav. Thought: Was that Bushwick Bill? It had to be since he's THE little person of hip hop. And I'm back...Everyone looked well and stumbles over some of the lyrics aside....a very nice tribute. I kinda wished there was some choreography to go along with the tribute cuz him and 'da boyz' used to tear it up back in the day! Aaah well....
Anthony Hamilton: Awww, always a class act. Wit his lil Thomas the Train conductor hat....I love you Anthony! Love, Sista Big Bones...well, kinda ;)
GIMME DAT NECKLACE TAMI ROMAN! LOL...but for real...
Robin Thicke: Now his lil pompado is lookin a lil Vanilla Ice-ish....I want him to cut his hair down circa Justin Timberlake....I think he'd really be able to rock that! That would put the icing on his smoothed out look. Wit his lil blueberry hill suit....
The NEW Ashford & Simpson Songwriters Award! How beautiful! How appropriate :) Very excited to begin to see the artists who are recognized in this category. There's no faking actually writing a song. There are enough imposters in the music biz today. #goodmusic
EWF Tribute: Lemme first say that I was really anticipating this tribute. EWF is one of my all time favorite bands....so I wanted it to be RIGHT! Miguel, was a Non-MF Factor! Sorry bruh, *kanye shrug* Musiq did well. And why must Bootsy Collins always look like an HBCU drum major? Love ya Bootsey :) Still wanna clothesline ya for the Old Navy commercials...but I'll let it slide cuz it is a recession. Lalah was probably the only female in the game right now who could hit that note the way she did. REASONS IS A FALSETTO...PERIOD! WTF! Robin, you coulda did that by yourself. So disappointed this evening fellas! And is it me or has Eric Benet been singing 'real hard' eeery since he dogged Halle out?!? When I see him perform, I only hear 'please don't hate me, please don't hate me.' And my man from Mint Condition is B-A-D! One of the baddest vocalists out there and sooooo under the radar! That song didn't do his voice justice though....Loved the gong too!
Well, I guess we're at the end of the show my friends....Overall, not bad of a show. Everyone seemed to have a bit of class about themselves at this affair which is always welcomed and refreshing to see! PEACE!
