1. Rihanna - I'm happy that Rihanna went all white to contrast that striking red hair. I loved the pants suit. It fit her and her personality very well. This look was all RIGHT!!
1. Kelly Rowland - Kelly stunned in the pink dress. She looked absolutely amazing. She and Rihanna were tied in my book. I just couldn't decide. The long straight hair, the bangles, the pink lip....she better WORK!!!
3. Beyonce Knowles - simple and stunning. But those accessories are amazing and surely worth more than I'll ever make in life. lol
4. Michelle Williams - Michelle's dress was teetering for me. Last night it was a definite "eh..maybe" but the more I look at it today, the more I like it. The dressed paired with the flowing locks works for me.
WORST
1. Nicki Minaj - I love me some Nicki but the "white carpet" pink wig, thick ass, give em whiplash look was not working for me at all last night...........at all.

Here's a comment she made on another blog in reply to her poem (she has amazing points):
A Dare. I do not want Nicki Minaj to be the next Lauryn Hill or MC Lyte, I want her to rap as if women like Assata Shakur and Toni Morrison exist.
“The Miss-Education of a Barbie” is a call to action not only for Nicki Minaj but to all women in the entertainment industry.
My poem targets Nicki Minaj because I am a long time fan and follower of her work. I recognize and applaud her lyrical abilities and the affect she has on women older and younger than myself. If we, as an audience, do not hold up a mirror to our artists, then who will?
The “Miss-Education of a Barbie” questions the message that Nicki Minaj is relaying to her listeners. If Nicki Minaj seeks to simply entertain audiences with shallow concepts then my poem can be written off as irrelevant to her and her fans alike. However, if she seeks to make a difference in musical history and in the lives of her fans around the world then my piece questions her methods of doing so.
Her “Barbie” image is an objectification of womanhood. How can we expect our male rappers to pay homage and respect to women when the voice that is representing us is tainted with sexual innuendos and “child’s play?”
Most rappers say in response to this “look, I didn’t ask to be anyone’s role model, I am just doing me like always.” for Nicki, this isn’t true, she did ask to be famous. She engineered herself to be more marketable so that this could happen. Now that it happened, what will she do with that power? Will she be self-serving at the expense of her fans? Or will she be both entertaining, sexy and socially progressive for women? We don’t want the Nicki we know to go away, we want the Nicki we know to be 3 Dimensional. W.E.B. DuBois said all art is propaganda and should be used to uplift and challenge the African American community, and if art does not do such it is useless. Nicki Minaj is too powerful to be useless.
My piece is not a “diss,” it is a dare.
I dare Nicki Minaj to be a PHENOMENAL WOMAN and not a phenomenal “Barbie.
....I hope that one day we get married just to say we fucking did it!!!
Did Drake and Nicki Minaj get married???
Check the Tweets!!!
What do you think??
I mean...i guess he can say they fucking did it now!!! But wasnt Drake just rumored to be dating Taraji!!! Taraji cougar ass better get her cub in line!!! lol
So just as I'm about to bring myself to blog a lil short something about Nicki Minaj...I find out the "Bottoms UP" Video premiered today on the SCBET (sc-so called).
So ...........of COURSE.........being that Nicki Minaj makes my life on this song as i discussed last month in the I am Not AFEARED post.
Anyway....i love the song!! no shit. and i cant get enough of Nicki.
Some MONTHS back i proclaimed that i FUCKS WITH NICKI THE LONG WAY!! But i'm not yet a "Fan". Only because i'm afraid she's being coined as a FEATURE killer!! I know some of the stans are gonna be all crazy talmbout some "whaat aabout mii loove" (the stans type like that) And to that I say...I love that song. But as we all know that song was a leak that Nicki never really planned on releasing....it just happened to blow the hell up. So will Nicki's album be My Love banging or Massive Attack horrid!!
Anyway.......back on topic!! Here's Bottoms Up..........LOVE IT!!!!
(yes aFEARED) to admit......I love this song......"Bottoms UP" - Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj.
As a matter of fact, I love Nicki's Verse. She killed it!! I fux with Nicki. I'm not quite the FAN yet...but I bangs with Nicki!
Howsomeever......Trey starts off the song with and R.Kelly-esque vibe. The first time I heard the song, I was like who is this?? Kelz?? Songz??
but ALAS....the singer starts singing in this high pitched girlie voice......YYUUUUPPP...so of course...its Trey!! Matter of fact...Nicki's voice is deeper than his on this song!
Dont get me wrong I lub me some Trey but I was like ffoorreeeaall Tremaine....for REAL!!
So...I def saw 10 seconds of this video and exclaimed WWWIIINNNN!!! when i saw my Husband Michael Jai White! The video is def. Nicki Minaj different but I cant be mad at it. I def. was more interested in it than a lot of other videos that have been out lately. Its something different for better or for worse. Check it out!!!
