Thanks for posting. Everyone looked great and I am so happy that Sade won an award. I know they are a band but Sade Adu is the creative force behind them and when they play alone they go by the name 'Sweetback' as they can't call themselves Sade without her, I digress. I have no idea what Kim Kardashian was doing there. What does she do exactly? She is clearly the second coming of Paris Hilton take 2, famous for doing nothing! I liked Beyonce's simple get up, even the hair. Gaga looked like a damn !d!ot Love the Smiths but Jada's face is looking old and hard. She should have left the plastic surgery alone. Love Jennifer Hudson but she could have chosen a softer hairstyle. Oga Seal looks better than his missus. I am happy he won an award too. Rihanna wins for best dressed on the red carpet although I do like Mya's dress. I don't understand Ciara's dress. Is Jordin Spark's even 21 yet? Why does she look so old in the face? |

Just happy to see the awards, though not all outfit are gorgeous. Gaga will forever be gagaric, trust her. Sade's group award got me happier just because it has further proven the ignorance of a certain nairalander who was arguing blind and vague that Sade is an old school with no relevance, in fact the quuestion then was who is Sade? I am sure this throws more light on who is who in the R&B world. |
