JUST LIKE MICHELLE WAS IT TOO POP OR WAS J-HUD TOO RNB?
Looks like Chris Brown stole some of his girlfriend’s pants lol but yeah I heard CB was alright and Kanye was the best.
I was at the Essence Festival and Kanye shut it down!! He is an awesome performer.. Chris and J Holiday were ok too..
Kanye was awesome. Chris was ok. Rihanna was too short, I think they only gave her 40 minutes. She was pretty good, though. I caught the end of J. Holiday, but I heard he was ok.
wow, solange’s son is soo beautiful! aww! look at chilli!!!
Kanye did his thing, Chris was good also. Rihanna wasn’t bad, but she wasn’t all that stellar either …but she look very beautiful. J. Holiday was ok.
The kid has a monstrous big head and face with a little body. Kind of freaks me out. Anyway, Chris Brown is whack and highly unattractive.
everybody looks good.
