For Jermaine (who was trying to sing along, but didn’t know the words):
Everywhere I go, every smile I see
I know you are there – smiling back at me
Dancing in moonlight I know you are free
Cuz I can see your star shining down on me
Janet is a star. And she’s still got it. I can’t imagine [...]

I’m back from Hilton Head and made it home just in time to unpack and catch the VMAs. Tonight begins with an MJ tribute kicked off by Madonna, which actually brought me to tears by the end. Next came dance numbers from Thriller, Bad, Smooth Criminal, and Scream (apparently, me and Bey love this song!). [...]

The show starts off with tape of Michael draping a sequined cape on James Brown at his performance at the ‘03 BET Awards. He did a few fancy foot moves a la JB, and bowed to the Godfather of Soul. Then we hear the beginning of ABC and see 5 or 6 people [it's hard [...]

First things First: The Dresses
Anne Hathaway wearing Armani ~ totally works. She actually kinda looked like an Oscar statue…at least from the
neck down. Her hair was very – done – maybe a little too much – but still a beauty for the first nominee I see on the red carpet.
I love looking at the dresses [...]

The NAACP Awards are on tonight. And the only reason I even know is that nothing else is being taped by my DVR. So I checked to make sure ‘Bones’ isn’t supposed to be being taped. And these awards are on. Today, Lincoln’s birthday, is the 100th anniversary of the NAACP.
Beyonce opened with Halo and [...]
grammy’s: the ok music awards

Tonight is the night for the biggest music award…or at least, they’re trying to hold on to that reputation. Grammy’s still mean a lot, bu the AMAs, WMAs, MTV moonmen, and BET Awards are edging them out in relevance. By far, the best music awards show last year was the BET awards. And I can [...]

Christina opened with a medley that was awesome – shout out to Genie in the Bottle! Then I saw Jimmy Kimmel was hosting. Oh. Eh. He cracks a joke about Mariah to cement his being on my bad side and brings my bf onstage to award Best Female Artist. That’s right – Jamie Foxx is [...]

Totally slept on the BET awards when they first aired. So, since I knew they’d be re-aired from now til the end of the year, I just dvr-ed that sucker last night.
I read a snippet of commentary about Usher’s performance, but I am not otherwise prejudiced about the show.
This is basically the only time [...]
