SOHH Over It!

American Music Awards

November 19, 2007 dig

 OMG.

I don’t know what this is Im watching, but Nicole Scherzinger is a bad bitch.  I swear to God, if I ever seen anything that would make me wanna hit the gym and eat nothing but rice cakes and bean sprouts for 6 months straight, it’s the sight of this bitch in this dress she got on right now.  It looks like a silver sequined towel or some shit but whatever it is, she WEARIN that muthafucka.

Oh shit.  The American Music Awards.  How in the hell did this get by me?  Ah well.  I guess channel surfing on a Sunday does pay off from time to time.  Yall know how I get my jollies off of these shits.  You know them two old muppet dudes - Mortimer and whatever the other one’s name is?  Yeah, well I swear Jim Henson was channeling my thoughts when he created them.

Oh no.  PLEASE tell me Jimmy Kimmel is not about to do the Souljah Boy dance.  LOL @ Rascal Flats “if we get to fightin I’ll be cockin on ya, cockin on ya” LMAOOO!  He so funny.  Yo, Jimmy Kimmel done grabbed Jordan Sparks and Kelly Pickler to go on stage and do this dance wit him.  I have GOT to see this….

LMBAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  Oh I cant even breathe!  If you missed it, please youtube it.  You’ll thank me later.

Oh they are boasting a special appearance by Beyonce that everyone will be talkin about.  What she gon do, come out in some shoes that aint horrendous?

Why do Avril Lavigne look like her and her girls were cruisin the local Fat Burger when somebody got the bright idea ‘hey, lets swing by the AMA’s in whatever the fuck it is that we got on and sing a song?’ LOL  WTF is that, Avril?  Did crack open 1600 cans of sardines and sew all them bitches together to make that skirt?  Does PETA care about sardines?  If they do, you better watch your back!

Akon wins an AMA.  Guess there is something to be said for crossin over to the pop tart charts.  He so high, he couldn’t even finish his statement about why T-Paine deserved it more than him.  Dig, Akon, dig……  aw damn.  Ah well, you almost came up with a reason, LOL

The Jonas Brothers.  I aint never heard of em, but I damn near lost my shit when the one in the middle tripped over a speaker and busted his ass on the entrance.  He tried to play it off on some Elvis ‘Im on my knees for ya, baby’ shit, but nigga, don’t try to play me, you fell.  That’ll teach you for coming on stage lookin like a bootleg Sanjayah in a tight white suit.  You gotta watch that V05, its just as bad as curl activator.  It’ll drip right out ya shit and next thing you know…. LOL.

Sidenote:  anybody ever drank vermouth straight?  You know the shit you make martinis with?  No?  Oh.  Nevermind then.  Moving on….

High School Musical is busting these people’s asses ERRRR time.  Whats goin on in the world when the best soundtracks are produced by Disney?  *smh*  Step yall game up.

I don’t care what nobody says, Rhianna is the second coming of Bey.  She don’t blow like her, we all know, but if you listen close, you can hear a little Bey twang in her voice.  Shut up, yes you can LOL.  Lissssssteeennnnnnnnn, dammit LOL.  Very nice duet with Ne-Yo.  *snap, snap, snap*

Wow. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  Sugarland (a country band) is performing “Irreplaceable”……  Im really in a trance right now.  And I don’t know if that’s a good thing.  Oh no, Bey’s coming out for verse two.  Oh NO!  But wait, then it got fresh for like…. 8 seconds.  Nope, back to the bullshit.  What in the nappy kitchen hell…..  oh no.  And here comes Solange in a Diana Ross weave and a dress that makes her look like that little smushed up girl on the ‘don’t smoke weed’ commercials, LOL.  Now why you let your mama….  Mannnnnn.   Tina Knowles is workin with the Taliban.  She is.  Watch.  Before you know it, all the good clothes and shoes in all the stores in America gon be lookin like the shit she dresses them in.  Fashion terrorism.  Watch.  Im just waiting for the news to break.

I love Celine.  She’s like my own personal white Patti Labelle.  I don’t totally love the song she sang, but that’s my girl.

Lenny Kravitz still doing music?  Is it me or do we need a ‘Lenny Kravitz and Maxwell are the same person’ rumor?  Maybe alter egos?  Damn, at least illegitimate brothers. They look too much alike.  They should beef or something,  LOL.  (Kidding, beef is gay.  Although………..LOL)

Why aint nobody tell Sean Kingston them shades was too little for his face?  JT got best soul/R&B album huh? Interesting.  I actually liked the CD a lot.  *waiting for the haters to arrive*

BTW, Keesh, I was gonna start watching Nip/Tuck til I saw that they gave Tiffany Patterson a guest starring role.  Sorry, they automatically lost ALL credibility LOL. 

LMAO @ the Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy clip.  That’s back when Mike was still fine.  And speakin of fine, ooooooooh, Chris Brown.  Mmmm.  I got your ‘kiss kiss’ right here, baby…Im mad you lip-synching, but I still love you.  They cant expect you to be singing while you out there windmillin and shit LOL.

Ima need Carrie Underwood to stop acting all surprised when she wins something too.  Bitch, you know if you write a song about busting out some niggas headlights, and flattening all four of his tires, you gon get all the awards LOL.  Sorry little miss Bible Belt, we don’t view you as the innocent, wholesome Carrie that American Idol introduced you as.  You are hereby awarded the Waiting to Exhale Award and you will wear the Angela Bassett ‘burn a nigga clothes up’ crown until Bey or Mary get back on their shit.  Deal with it.

Oh Alicia…  What is up with the 2-shades darker than you make up?  I think they tried to darken her complexion to hide the lil zit on her cheek, but dammit girl, zits give you character, they show that you’re human.  At least make your people blend it into your hairline so you don’t see that line of light skindedness across the top, LOL.  That shit looks horrible.  That being said, Chake Demus and Pliers is my people, and you go girl dancin and shit.  Junior Reid?  Beanie Man?  Oh shit, you tryna make my damn head explode up in this bitch!  O! O! O! O! O-OOOO!  Mad props.  Get ya make up right, boo, but mad props. Buyakah! Buyakah! LOL

Can somebody explain to me why Tony Hawk is at all the award shows?

Duran Duran???  Oh shit!  There gots to be a gliche in the matrix!  They sound kinda bad now but you gotta love English people.  They send all their 50 year old men in skinny jeans over to America so they don’t have to look at em no more, LOL.  Oh no….  the black chick singing backup….  Yo, is that a man?  Like for real, is it????

Oh snickity snap!  Tameka let Usher out?

I do believe this is the first time I have ever seen Beyonce have a genuinely heartfelt reaction to winning something.  The speech she gave was canned like all the rest of the speeches she ever gave in her life, but she actually started to cry  before she went on stage.  Yall see she caught herself though right?  Papa Knowles was probably all in her head “Don’t you cry and mess up that makeup, girl, I’ll get the strap!” LOL

Uh oh, Mary done went back to the old school bob, and done brought back the ‘Real Love’ catsuit in black.  She got everybody thinking we bout to be in trouble and she gon come out here with the old Pleasure Principle moves and shit.  Mary, I will slap you.  Her performance looked like me when Im at home dancing in the mirror to my jam when it come on the radio.  She don’t ever in her life need to be on that big a stage again without backup dancers.  Gimme a fire-eater, a juggling act, SOMEthing, Mary, damn.

Rhianna done went and beat Beyonce out for best female soul/R&B.  Then she goes ‘congratulations to all the other nominees’ (Bey and Fanny) then waves them off and goes ‘and thanks to the most important people - Jay-Z…..’  Now she named a couple people after that but I aint hear shit after Jigga, LOL.  I was too busy waiting for the camera to pan over to show the expression on Bey’s face.  She done beat you, waved you off and then YOUR man’s name was the first one out her mouth to thank.  Now I know all the rumors are supposed to be just that - rumors - but cant a person on this planet tell me Bey wasn’t a little salty.  She probably had that smile painted on, gritting her teeth so hard, her fillings was coming loose.  Come on, Bey.  Just a little?  You can tell me, LOL.

    I agree with every thing you said 100% except I liked MJB’s performance. And that little witch Rhianna need to be slapped. When she waved Fanny and Beyonce off I almost threw the remote at the tv. Somebody done lied and told that girl she really has talent. I guess when you banging Jigga on the side, you really do forget who you are.

    Beyonce is is putting a monoply on the music industry. She is singing in black, hispanic and white folks. I actually kind of dug the country version of Irreplacable. Me and cousin keep calling each singing “To the left, to left ” country western style.

    Over all I give the show a C. I really didnt like Chris Brown’s performance cause I couldnt see him. (He so fine) and T-Pain look like he some kin an Alien.

    Holla back!!!

    The Country version woulda been much better if it wasnt soooooo country. That shit was straight Kentucky BlueGrass LOL.

    **Album Trash**

    I thought will.I.am was fresh.

    Didn’t like Nicole…doe she’s still my #2.

    Loved Celine…she’s coming to Omaha, and I damn near want to go.

    Jonas Brothers…BWAHAHAHAH! I’ve been tryin to figure out what that bullshit I was hearin on the radio was…I had no idea it was some disneyfied shit.

    I was looking for more from Chris Brown??? Like, did it seem his performance was shorter than everyone else’s? It HAD to have been?

    I only caught the end of Alicia Keys…

    I thought Mary J killed it? If you ain’t seen the video, that’s basically all she’s doin in it.

    Oh, except for the MJ moves shes busts.

    Duran Duran…they shoulda did ‘Girls on Film’?

    Eh…

    Pretty sad show overall I thought.

    Yeah I think Chris Brown’s performance lacked and I hate when he lip-synchs. I know he gotta dance and everything but it takes so much from the performance sometimes.

    I didnt like Nicole’s performance but she was rockin the shit out that dress.

    Sorry, no props on the Mary performance. I thought that shit was tres elementary.

    The industry is falling off fast. It’s a sad day even in hell when Justin Timberfake wins Best Soul/R&B album and when an African who uses a digital ehnacements wins awards. It’s like WTF where are the artist with talent.

    And you know the world is coming to an end when Rhianna beats Beyonce. They said that all the artist that won were chosen by the fans. I think they shouldnt do that cause fans today have no substance. They only based things off image.

    Now I will say that I like Rhianna’s look, cause I have been rocking her jet black bob all summer, but talent, she jus dont have.

    And nigga you know T-Pain look like an Alien. That fool is ugly and I hate calling people ugly.

    Beyonce showed her human side. That International Award is huge. This puts her on awhole notha level with like the Beattles and MJ….Even Janet dont have one of those.

    I’m ducking out the room on that one!

    I dont think the International Award has been around that long cause you cant tell me Janet wouldnt have gotten one. And Prince, and a handful of others. But its not like a Lifetime Achievement Award where they give one out every year. Im bout Beyonced out but I think she deserved it. Aint nobody bigger than her right now.

  15. comment by trissa :
    November 19, 2007 @ 11:12 am

    Dreamgirls, Austin Powers. Pink Panther. and I guess the Fighting Temptations. Though I went call that Blockbuster. More like Lack luster.

    But you cant say that she doesnt deserve that award. She works her butt off. and she actually has SINGING talent.

  16. comment by jaedalaurez :
    November 19, 2007 @ 11:14 am

    No, she deserved it…but I wouldn’t mind her going away for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG while. Take some classes, spend time with her man, she needs a J-Lo style break right about now.

    Singing ain’t got much to do with music nowadays since the best singers are usually the ones MIA.
    It ain’t just hip hop that needs jumpstart.
    I ain’t see the awards but it can’t be different from the bullshit other ones that I’ve caught.

    Trissa,

    I think they gave the Beatles the award after the fact (?)

    As for Janet, you got me fucked up. Im the manager of the ‘Janet cant sing worth a damn’ campaign. But you cant deny that Janet has international success like few have ever seen, and it has nothing to do with her vocal ability.

    Damn willyj & dig had to break out the morris code to let a bitch in…but now that I am here…

    WHAT UP RANDOM NEGROES?

    I agree with everything you said. I give that show a C-…I miss the old shows with MJ, Whitney -

    That Irreplaceable was irrestankable! That was song hot ass country garbage. I have heard Sugarland live and I AIN’T NEVER heard them sing that damn country!

    And you kow that ONLY way Bey was coming was if she was getting an award . And since ain’t nobody vote her that said:

    Matthew: The only way we will perform is if we get something.

    AMA: Okay give us time to think and we will come up with something.

    Matthew: We need a way for her to show off these new Dereon shoes and Jacket

    AMA: Okay how about since all the votes are in and she didn’t get any we can just give her the international award.

    Matthew: Oh okay that may work.

    AMA: So can we count on her to perform with Sugarland?

    Matthew: I guess so. I can’t believe no one voted for my baby. There might need to be a Chad investigation…

    AMA: Mr. Knowles, all the votes were electronic

    Matthew: ohhhh really.

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    And Chris Daughtry is one fine ass white man!

    I thought I was smoking a fat one during AKeys performance - no she didn’t bring out Beanie Man…I waiting on Bob Marley to raise up from the grave!

    Lenny is the shit! “baby it ain’t over til it’s over” He and Maxwell we seperated at birth - all he needs is a mean falsetto!

    I was a lil shocke by that International coop…I was like okay she is FANTABOLOUS…(so says her fans that didn’t vote)

    She got:
    Samsung Phone
    Amex
    Direct TV
    House of D
    House of D Girls & babies
    Prmo Dress line
    Mama Knowles got HSN Line
    Hip Hopera (SMH)
    Austin Powers
    Fighting Temp
    Dreamgirls
    2 solo CD’s
    4 Destiny Child’s Cd (?)

    But I am thinking damn does Celine, Madonna, Janet, Diana have one of these awards? I was just wonder how they decided and when they decided b/c after promoting the show for 2 months - the “Special Appearance by Beyonce” did’t start advertising til a week ago…

    and ya’ll gonna raise off Beyonce. It’s obvious that winning that International Award was huge to her cause she never shows emotion when she wins anything. She wasnt Sasha when she won she was Beyonce and that was cool. Where was Mama Knowles and Jigga.

    I guess he didnt want to be there to see the reaction on Bey’ s face cause he knew Rhi-Rhi was gonna beat her. Plus do ya’ll really think Beyonce cares about winning them other awards when she got one of the highest honors ever. Rhianna will never, ever get one of those…..

    Oh and I know one award that Beyonce will never get…..and Oscar….

    I just dont see all the hype about Janet. The older she gets the odder she looks. To me one has to be able to sing and dance to entertain. If I just wanted to go to a concert and see someone dance, I can just watch the video and turn the volume down. And I like the Country version of Irreplaceable.

    Trissa, lets be clear - we talkin bout pre-Bey Janet. Aint nobody all that impressed wit her now, although when she tries hard enough she can still pull a move out her ass that we all be tryin in the bathroom mirror

    Dont get it twisted though, Rhianna aint nothing to sneeze at. She is surprising the hell outta me cause I aint think she would even be as far as she has gotten. Aint no tellin what kinda industry fuckery gon go on wit her next.

    I dont care for Will.I.Am but I liked his performance.

    Fuck Solange. Im still waiting for the day I can push her out of a tree.

    Are ya’ll crazy!
    You’d cry too if you got an award that only like 5 other artist have received. I didnt think that was fake. She seems humble to me still. Even though she has reached the peak of her career. Rhianna was the one that seemed fake, brushing off Beyonce and Fanny. Both of them can sing better than Rhianna even if the humming a song. That was disrespectful. I dont. Like. Rhianna.

    I remember when I saw Solange at the concert I was promoting at TSU back in 04′. She was making a scene cause security agressively moved her out the way cause people started fighting and they didnt want her to get trampled. She was like look at my arm. they but bruises on my arm. Little did we know that she was banging ole at the time who went to TSU for like a day. My cousin said he had dude in one of his classes, but he dropped like mid semester.

    Solange need to sit down somewhere. She she should go to school or do something important with her life then be in the shadow of Bey…The Knowles only have one room for a star and it aint her ….

    If Janet is ovverated then so should Madonna.
    Come to think of it… there are only a “handful” of international superstars that can really sing.
    ———————————————————–
    She is too. If Madonna wasnt having threesomes and bascially selling herself to the public back in the 90’s she wouldnt be as successful as she is today. She cant sing either.

    Sex sells…and I’m not sayin that Bey dont use sex, but at least SHE CAN SING FOR REAL.

    Ihadno-
    Fergie looks like somebody stepped on her face with a combat boot. Plus she uses the black audience for street cred or whatever its called and I hate that. Just like Timberfake.

    I like white girls who stay in their lane. I like Pam Andersin. I like Pink, I like that Avrail girl. I like Hanna Montanna. I hate it when white girls used black people for cred.

    One thing about Robin Thicke is that his swag is natural. It’s not forced. Oh yeah I love kid Rock…he’s too funny.

    Pamela Anderson said something on a play boy special that has stuck with me.

    “May all your ups and downs be in bed”!
    I love it!!!

    Shakira just has a very weird (unique) style…

    her phrasing is really different?

    Combine that with her accent, and it all sounds a lil off.

    I think she would do well with a good producer. ( no Wyclef). She writes all her own shit, I think she needs some constructive criticism in the studio.

    My love for Shakira remains strong- I haven’t LOVED her like I did when her hair was black and she actually wore clothes while performing, but I still love some Spanish Shakira.

    And I don’t know about white artists supposedly stealing black music…maybe that would be more true, but in the age of BET/MTV/ MuchMusic/ The Box/ 50-11 music channels on digital cable and satellite, I think that people are exposed to a wider variety of things than they used to be.

    get cred from the streets, but make it accessible for white kids to like too.

    MLK personally wanted black men to start fucking white women (lil white boys playing with lil black boys)…. he had a dream and I am living it out…

    And that’s why I dont really roll with Martin. In Malcolm’s book he talks about how walk on Washington at first was gonna be a radical walk. Then when the white man heard about he started trying to get his hands on it and organize it. Malcolm was saying that basically the white man was behind that March to keep it orderly and make it “pc”….

    Martin was banging white women back then. Malcolm wasnt on that. He was truly about the community and not willing to sell out on the basis of money or anything else.
    So yes he was changing as far as how he viewed whites, but I doubt if he would have been okay with a brother bangin one.

    I had to use twat cause I couldnt really say what I wanted.

    I know I might sound cazy to everybody, but integrating was bad for us and it still is. We were not strong enough to handle that. Once we integrated we lost the little bit of integrity that we had. We started wanting to be like the white man do what he did, instead of taking that opportuinty and using it against them and better ourselves. I talked to older people all the time that agree with me. Espeically here in the Chi. Integration runied this city….

    I think there’s a difference between integration and assimilation- what it sounds like you’re talking about are people who wanted to “be just like” like white people, not “work with”. I don’t see anything wrong with integration- I am opposed to assimilation.

    I hear a ‘twat’ is worth 10% more than a ‘glory hole’…

    ‘using it against them’

    I don’t think MLK’s message was of that nature?

    What I’m saying is what have really accomplish by integrating with them. Before we did, we had a strong, strong since of community and strong appreciation of being black. We helped one another, we respected one another, we charish the black women. Ever since then, because the ‘white is right’ syndrome has been imprinted in our head we have lost all of that and much more because NOW we have become materialistic and have lost all of the values that are forefathers fought so hard to instill in us.

    If we would have gotten the chance to be seperate but equal alot of things would have changed because we have had the same opportunities that the white man has except it would have been in OUR community. We would have had the same resources they had. Instead they sold us a dream and told us okay we will let you work and play in our neighborhoods, but you have to give us your neighborhood before you can enter ours.

    And that is all I’m saying.

    but now I have to ask, how feasible is “separate but equal” in a global economy? We may be all different colors, but money is green, and accepted everywhere. If I have the chance to make money worldwide by creating international relationships, why not do so?

    That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the idealism that integrated us. The community being split apart. The break-down of the black family. I hate to say this but the homosexuality that took over the community cause we wanted to “try” it. The drugs that we were introduced to.

    It seemed like the more educated we became the dumber we got!!!!!

    Hey but those are just my thoughts how we got broke down. I guess living here in Chicago you can really see what I’m talking about. The southside was like Harlem back in the day. It was all kinds of black businesses and what not…

    When the white man entered, the community left…

    Trissa, you cant honestly believe the ills you speak of were forged by intergration. Come on now. In Chicago or anywhere else. IMO thats just another ‘white man holding us down’ excuse. Im over it.

    But Im outta here yall, I done had enough of the corporate madness today. I’ll holla at yall later.
