Shontelle and Keri Hilson? That’s the best they could do to inspire these young girls and give them confidence? F****** fail?
Where are the two most noted and powerful female acts of today at… by that I meant Beyonce and Rihanna? That would have given the show the umpth it needed.
S*** where was Ashanti and Ciara at? Fail.
Keri Stranger, Shontelle?
BET REALLY? The exact reason I don’t watch BET anymore.
Monica did good. I didn’t even bother with the other two.
It’s fine that they couldn’t get big names but they could’ve at least added Melanie Fiona, Jazmine Sullivan Chrisette Michelle and Janelle Monae to give the show more ummpphh.
Don’t be mad at them. They probably invited Beyonce and Rihanna’s asses but they just didn’t want to show up. You’d all be surprised because alotttttttttt of these shows have to pay these b****** and arm and a leg just to make a brief appearance.
Keri did a great job. I was feeling that performance
Rihanna… a powerful female act? Funny as hell….
I love how BET is using Beyonce’s band.
keri looked and sounded great!
Um, Where is C-ERROR, STEALicia OFFKey’s, Ashitty???
NEXT ==>>
Just as always their will always be Haters so far so good with show I have njoyed every performance
Keri Hilson sounded good, i will even say as good as Beyonce. You betta watch out Bey!
How sad that this show was to pay tribute to black women and the most powerful women of that group couldn’t even show up. It may have not been the Grammys but it was a show that deserved support from the black women who’ve earned MILLIONS from other black women watching the program
Uhhh is it me, or is that BEYonce BAck up singers (suga mamas) singing behind KERI????……OMG it is.lol
Black Girls Rock is not about getting the most famous people to represent on the show. It’s about showing all little girls, teenage girls and women that they have special gifts and talents that make them special. There are many people making successful strides in this world, famous or not. They are out there and I congratulate each and every one of them.
Rather than give negative comments, give positive words of inspiration to females who may read these posts. Positive words go a long way. Negativity is nothing but an unnecessary block. God bless you.
I’ve lead a very blessed life, but many females have not. They need to be encouraged and they need to know that regardless of the negative path their lives may have taken, they can get on the right road to success. Keep dreaming, keep fighting, keep pursuing higher education and they to will succeed in this world. God said there’s cattle on a thousand hills and they’re all ours to claim if we claim then in His Holy name.
SUCK IT HATERS!! KERI DID GREAT!! STAY MADDDDDDDD
Keri looked & sounded great! (i NEVER thought i was going to say that)
I do agree though, the lineup was blahh. BUT, Bey doesn’t even have a song to perform, & having Rih perform at a BET show would look so weird to me. Why isn’t Jazmine Sullivan here?
Keri is a great singer, she finally shows her ability f*** that haters and Beyonce stans better be scared
Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the show and performances. A nice message of inspiration and unity shouldn’t be overshadowed by unnecessary negativity.
That last sentence doesn’t look right. I think I meant: “Why is Jazmine Sullivan not there*”
Boo hoo, lets all cry becasue BEYONCE & RIHANNA arent there??? First off, this was a great show show & shouldnt be overshadowed by the fact that 2 very famous women were not there. This is a show about inspiring a new generation of black women, not overhyping 2 women who are already overhyped as it is.
So what if Keri & Shontelle performed, they’re 2 black women who have acheived their dreams, MONEY should not be a qualification to book you onto a show. tsk tsk, ppl are sad today.
BTW, i thought Keri’s performance was great. “Breaking Points’ is a very good song, but i cant put my finger around so many ppl dislike it… I guess it would have to be sung by Beyonce or Rihanna for it to be well received. lol
Keri using Beyonce’s team? I’m upset.
Totally amazing !
I am so greatful to have been blessed with this opportunity to witness history in the making
I am a BLACK GIRLwho ROCKS and to be united together with all of these great and incredible colored women, our heritage and our future, to be acknowledge is so powerful!
This statement for BLACK GIRLS is so needed at this day and time ,hopefully as the continued light that again and again guides us into the position in life that we were born to have.
I love all my sisters world wide
S. Hester
Monica did Amazing…such a great vocalist!!!!
Yes to whoever questioned Rihanna. Think what you want about her but Beyonce and Rihanna are the most noted black female artists in the world right now and its been this way for years… most white people couldnt name you anybody outside these 2.
having them would be really nice to add to the feeling of how proud black girls should be]
being surrounded by flops isnt the best way to motivate these girls lol but Monica is a legend
@QUEENKERI
SCARED OF WHAT????
I like this show. Monica did great and I was shocked at Keri’s performance. She needs to improve a little bit though. I loved Keyshia’s Cole and Jill Scott’s performances too.
Monica graced that stage and she showed so much fierceness and her vocals are forever soaring, that woman is really coming into her own and Keri never sounded better…loved this.
lol Dead at the keri hilson fan saying she can out sing BEyonce……IM done
How is Fantasia apart of the show yet she is not featured in this clip?
they could have gotten willow smith to perform
YAAAAAAAAASSSS JILL SCOTT AND MONICA DID THE DAMN THING….
DEATH @ HERI HILSON USING BEYONCE’S BAND… BWAHAHAHAHA
SHE WANTS TO BE JUST LIKE MAMA… BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT WON’T HAPPEN.
Skeri Whilsounded sounded a Mess as Usual, Her only Decent note was 0:26. This Whole C-Error Meets Mya Meets Rihanna meets Beyonce Act of hers isnt working
& Dead @ lets all cry becasue BEYONCE & RIHANNA arent there???
But Really Why did SKeri Stranger have to use The Queen’s Back Up Singers whom BTW are better Singers than StrainTina… LMAO, FAIL @ BET for Thinking they can Try to Bring the Beyonce Experience to the Show using SKeri Stranger of all PPL. ICANNOT 😆
CHRISTINA AGUILERA.
Dead. Where @ Tyler at. Your fave is using my fave backup singers and still sound like s***. Nothing can help this girl.
Wait, Jill scott WAS MY FAVORITE
Only On EBT…
I thought the show was outstanding. I was so proud of everyone that participated and with all the performers. It was a special night for all black women all over the world. Thank you BET for a very uplifting experience
@(STAY MAD TRENTISHINAQUA
IDK why but that had me rolling
at least 4 members of beyonces band are there
Calm down STRAINTina Stains, Not only is GARGLE-Tina NOT BLK but She also CANT Sing, Atleast not as Well as THE MAMAS (Bey’s Backup Singers)…
Anyway, Is Burlesque Flopping in a theater near you yet??
Lol @ people saying Rihanna should have been there. You mean the girl who has became a complete sellout by selling her soul to “whitey” and desperately trying to appeal to a white audience and changing her image to suit “whitey” just to sell some records? Give me a break. Rihanna doesn’t even embrace being black. Therefore, she shouldn’t have been there.
Monica smashed her peeformance and Keri and Jill Cott did good too.
WHO DA F*** DEM P**** ASS B****** MURDERING UP DEM SONG NA MAN, SIDUWWWWN H**’S !!!
EVERYBODY DID OKAY BUT MONICA SURPRISED ME, SHE KILLED DAT S***. FANNY JUST, IDK…IM TIRED OF HER SCREAMING. LEDISI AND KELLY OUT SHINED HER.
ME SORRY ME COULDNT PERFORM AT BLACK GYAL ROCK, BUT AAA GOT BETTER TING TO BE DOOOIN, LIKE WASHIN ME HAIR, ME NAAA WANNA PERFORM AT NOOO FLAP AWARD SHUUUW !!!
@ ROBYN RIHANNA FENTY
I was just about to call you out on your Awful spelling but since you’re a Hooked on Riherpes Fan… You get an Easy Pass.
Wow! Some of you on here are so ignorant but whatever…. Who cares about Beyonce or Rihanna. They probably wouldn’t be caught dead in the Bronx which is where this was held. Plus the people they had actually can sing and don’t use their their butts to get attention. Furthermore it was about the honorees. People who actually make a difference. I was proud to witness this and I hope BET does more shows like this. For you who so worried about Beyonce and Rihanna you are a bunch of groupies who missed the point totally. Bravo BET Bravo I may actually take the time to watch you again.
@ ROBYN RIHANNA FENTY
NEVERMIND, Welcome to the #BEYHIVE
@S***
Christina stans didn’t do anything.
Don’t drag anybody unless they start some s***.
@TIFFANY JOHNSON
LMFAO @ you thinking Skeri Hilson is a real singer and saying Beyonce is not. #FAIL
I usually side eye everything that EBT does,
but this time, I enjoy what they are doing…
umm who cares if pon de forehead, beybey, cici and others werent there…
I enjoy all the perfomances,
I think hell just frozed over, EBT is doing something positive..
still aint gonna watch that channel….
LMAO at u for being on her tit. Keri Hilson did a decent job. If Beyonce wanted to be there she would be. She live in NY now no? Get off her her tit.
HU DIS KERI HILSAN GYAL EVERYBADY CHAT BOUT ?
ME NA HEARD-AAA HIM BEFORE, BUT ME TAKE 2 MINUTES OUT ME BUSY LIFE TO WATCH HIM PERFORMANCE, SHE SOUND LIKE DA TITANIC SINKING PON TOP-A-DE WATER, YA NUU ?
*sips tea*
I’m not a big fan of mos of the peopleon there besides Jill Scott Fantasia, and Ledisi, and Monica but I give ncredit where credit is due. Keri Hilson sounded decent. But because ya girl wasn’t on there the show is a fail? Riiiiiiiiiighhhhht! I love stalker fans you guys are so faithful to people who could give a ish
It’s wasn’t a bad show. Very edited, like most BET shows, but decent. I was surprised with Keri Hilson’s performance, it sounds 10 times better than the actual radio version. Keyshia Cole, and the set with Ledisi, Marsha, Kelly, and Jill was pretty nice.
Ciara was there
Hate all you want, Shontell has the biggest hit with “Impossible”, Keri Hilson’s “Breaking point” ” “Golden” , “Shark in the water” and “Still Standing” didnt even chart on the Billboard 100.. Monica has out sold all of them with her “Still Standing Album”. with that being said, why is everyone so in love with RIRI? she will never have a number one album, she has number one hits, but no number one albums. b**** can’t sing and you know it, prof check out all her (only girl in the world) live performances… !NeXt!
@ Teairra
In all fairness to Rihanna, im Shocked to say that I wasnt anymore entertained from Watching Skeri Stranger or Monica’s Performance here than I was watching Rihanna perform Only Girl.
Do with that what you will… *TEA*
v v brown, keysha cole, monica and jill scott had that show 2 night
ooo yeaa and lets not forget impossible
@S*** LOL IT’S EVIDENT UR MAD.
Fantasia was the BEST of the night but IDK Why she even bothers wearing shows on her way to the stage when she knows damn well that she gonna take them off anyway & not even performing for the President would be an Exception.
I am dissapointed that she didnt perform COLLARD GREENS & CORNBREAD though 😐
‘Black Girls Rock’
That is so racist. If MTV did a shoe called White Girls Rock than all you n****** would be complaining. Yeah I said it, who is going to do anything about. Black people especially black women always complain when they have everything handed to them. You give them wel-fare they sell there food stamps to buy crack and they don’t even bother looking for a job. You give them affirmative action and they slack off because they know they will get an easy ride. White people have to work hard for everything while blacks take advantaged of things that are basically handed out to them. And not to mention black women are the ugliest humans on earth, no wonder why so many black guys want a white woman who keeps themselves and there houses clean and doesn”t have roaches.
Go Monica, and for once Keri was looking hawt!! Monica never disapoints, she is truly a legend in the making!
SPREAD DA WORD @ SPREADDAWORD.COM
These women are power house very strong voices. To be honest Rihanna don’t fit in there league not by a long shot. First she is not a role model to NO young girls. 2 She can’t sing and we don’t want our young girls to think it’s okay to have a voice like hers. I’m glad the both of them was not there too. Jay-XX probably told them they better not be apart of BET s*** sense they let Chris perform the Michael Jackson Tribute. And to tell you something they was not missed.
Yes BET
@ Pure White Hotness
LOL, Id be mad too if my President was Black…
You’re Funny 😆
*TYPO*
SHOES not Shows
IDK Why Fanny even bothers wearing SHOES on her way to the stage when she knows damn well that shes not gonna do anything but take them off anyway… 😐
I mean whats the big deal about keri using beyonce band the other artist did as well. and if you dont’t like the girl thats fine but she didn do a good job and she can sing…don’t hate just to hate or hate on something you didnt even watch…..Monica did great and she used the band and singers as well and keri also did great!!!
ALL YOU STUPID N***** BYTCHES NEED TO GO TO HELL. N**** THIS N**** THAT< DOING TEH N**** HEAD BOB AND WEAVE GTFO!
I was just kidding, I was just wanted to know what it felt like to be a ignorant racist. lol disregard the name.
@Fantasia was the BEST of the night but IDK Why she even bothers wearing shows on her way to the stage when she knows damn well that she gonna take them off anyway ….
I quit this b****..I quit
I’m a black female..
and yes sometimes I hate my people,especially when they do stupid s***…
but, I wouldnt say all we’re good for is smoking crack, welfare, and section 8….
I dont see EBT doing a BLACK GIRL ROCK as a racist thing…especially since EBT is known to have ghetto hoodrats, chicken heads, dumb bishes on their show
and they never portray black women in a good light..
so EBT having a show, thats positive for black women, I have to give them props..
add VH1 to the list of channels I never watch..
cause, both VH1 and EBT just bring the hoodrats out of black women…..
Well for starters Beyonce’ and Rihanna weren’t missed at all. What was Rihanna gonna sing ? Lol. Beyonce’ is an opportunist she only shows up when she’s promised something, or if the spotlight will be on her. F her. There were many big named artist there Monica, Missy, Fantasia, Jill Scott, then you had artists like Kelly Price, Keri Hilson Keyshia Cole and Ledisi. Everyone was great. Keri looked amazing that night and she did well with the song. Keyshia did her damn thang. As usual Fantasia did her damn thang. Monica kilt her performance. True performer. This was a great show.
Forget Beyonce, she was’nt gonna add anything new to the show. She and Rihanna are not the two biggest black artists female across the world. They are two of. Alicia is right up there and others. Everything does’nt revolve around them. Jazmine and Willow should have been there to. That would have been nice. Ciara looked great also. Great job BET.
ALERT ALERT ALERT BEYONCE JUST FOUND HER COMPETITION… ITS KERI HILSON .. SHES COMING FOR IT… SSHITTTTT KERI SLAYED THAT SHITT.. BEYONCE BETTER STEP UP SERIOUSLY
if beyonce came YOU WOULD SAY SHES OUTSHIINING EVERYONE LET BEYONCE HAVE HER BREAK… JEEZ
Are some of you all serious? We have to have the biggest names there to prove BLACK GIRLS ROCK?! B*******!! This was a great show! EBT should have shows like this more often, maybe they’ll gain some creditbility back.
And why shouldnt Shontelle be there? She is a beautiful black women that is trying to make a name for herself. That within it self deserves an award.
And did I mention BLACK GIRLS ROCK? 😀
woow…smdh at some of these
comments.
Monica was GREAT!!
‘you cant still my joy because you didnt give it to me’
Do Yall See Beyonce Band and Background Singers …….U GOTTA LOVE THEM
……Soooooooo the census is Beyonce’ and Rihanna STANS say KERI sounded horrible…..Which can only mean one thing…..SHE DID GREAT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
KERI…TORE that song UP ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! And both Beyonce’ & Rihanna stans know it thats why there are upset…….They need to put the focus on why Rihanna’s “BUZZ” for her new Album has fizzled or why she has not one any Awards at the Ema’s 🙂
…………………………Just saying…….. 😉
What does a women flopping in album sales have anything to do with them being a great role model?
What does it have to with them being proud of who they are?
Just asking because some of these comments rubbed me the wrong way. I mean people are giving a celebration to some of the most beautiful, most independent, strongest women in the world.
KEyshia cole red hair>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rihanna Red Hair
and FYI Rihanna stans b4 u say only reason keyshia has red hair is because rihanna, Keyshia cole was rocking the red hair in 2005.

AGREED ! ! ! !
@DUMMIES
You dummy, what exactly did Keri Hilson do?
She did nothing but stand there and sing with her mediocre vocals. #FAIL
Rihanna:

appeals to only a white crowd
Rated R never even went platinum
Loud has already leaked and is expected to flop
dresses like a s*** to get attention
cant sing
cant dance

Beyonce:
not relevant
no single
no album
sellout
would never be caught dead in a room full of REAL black women
also dresses like a w**** to get attention
screams not sings
attention w****
50 pound weave
And like 3 of you actually wanted these tricks to appear at this event? Seriously? Say no to drugs kids….
They all did good, very surprised at Keri her best performance that she ever did by far, Monica yes baby Keyshia did cool and everybody else did a good job, now if we can get bet to do more shows like this then and only then I would give them a time of day.

Deaf, LOUD May Flop but watch it still sells more than your Favs & LMAO @ Bey not being relevant just cause she has no single or album out when even so shes Still more Relavant than EVERY artist that hit that Stage. Aint nobody checking for any of them…
Talking about she screams, B**** This is Beyonce NOT Scream-Tina.
@tyler
LMAO, SKERI STRANGER sounded a HOT Mediocre MESS, She was Pitchy, Whinny, as Usual. She sounds a Mess with those MEDIOCRE Vocals. Ashanti & maybe even Rihanna on her best Day can OutSing her EASILY. SKERI STRANGER is just your AVG Basic B****.

TAKE THOSE HOUSE OF CHEAP DEREON WIGS BACK TO THE STORE LMFAOOO. I WILL TELL KERI HILSON TO WRITE YOU A CHECK FOR $200 FOR PASSING GO
OOPS SORRY MATHEW KNOWLES HAS ALREADY TAKEN HALF
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Keri Hilson was a pleasant surprise. Monica kilt it as usual. Keyshia never delivers a complete performance. She starts off good and then goes into her straining moments.
all of you guys are talking about the wrong stuff…….can we please just talk about how freaking amazing ledisi, kelly, jill, and marsha’s performance of Four Woman was…..like i was blown away, with the emotion and depth, not to mention the AMAZING vocal prowess each showed, they all have TRUE technique……that performance definitely deserves a Grammy and an Emmy……UHMAZING, wish it was on itunes or somthing!!!!
They should have begged Gaga to show up for ratings.
BEYONCE + RIHANNA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>YOUR FAV (The End)
But no shade it was a good show and I think we should just give credit to other black female artist out there but lets not go crazy beyonce and rihanna and alecia are the most sucessful black women out right now FACT even if you like it or not
But They could have atleast asked Ciara to come and perform like WTF none of the h*** have even made an impact except monica the rest are just BLAH they are not international like other’s if you want to inspre black girls inspire them with Sucess not black women who flop left and right =/ with that being said We should just be proud they is even a channel for black people because 50 years ago there would not be such a thing.. Black people are arrogant like no other *sighs*
Shontelle did a great job
Shontelle: Probably the weakest of the singers on show but she sung well and kept her tune and did a good job live. Well Done!!
Keri Hilson: That’s the best i’ve heard Keri live. Second half of the song she opened up and the displayed the vocal potential we get on her records. I prefer when she doesnt dance.
Monica: Such power and control. Real Diva who probably had comeback of the year in R&B. Hoped she would sing Love All Over but Still Standing is a great message of empowerment.
VV Brown: Very good singer with an alternative style of songs but love the voice and tone. Similar vibe to Jazmine Sullivan with a lil’ more funk.
Jill Scott: She’s just excellent. Love her sanging.
Keyshia Cole: She done ok but for some reason she sings a lot of her own stuff off key. Lots of power but not the control.
Kelly Price, Marsha Ambrosius, Jill Scott & Ledisi: WOW!! All of them KILLED that. All had there own stamp and just vocal ART on display!!
Fantasia: She made for church. Sounds like a preacher. Don’t like her yelling so much but she can SANG without a doubt!!
I notice they had artist on there that had class and real talent. Young black girls do have someone to look up to with out the artist putting a mic up their p****.

AGREED ! ! ! ! ! !
…It’s FUNNY how 95% of Beyonce’ Fans are gay men yet she does nothing to support them……
…Look what Lady Gaga has done….Even Keri performed at Gay Pride in ATL…Beyonce’…Steals that Gay J-Sett s*** and says nothing……
Gay Beyonce’ Fans = #FAIL ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Please stop hating on Keri for no reason. She actually did good. Shontelle was a mess, so y’all can continue to hate on her. Christina slays you all’s very existence before even getting out of bad, so @S*** can sit on that. Monica did great. Marsha SLAYED, & so did Ledisi, Fantasia, & Kelly Price. Jill Scott did ok . Ciara did not have an appropriate song to sing there, so she didn’t sing oh well… Her fans know she can sing, so sit. I have spoken!, now bow… lol
Wow! BET actually puts on a show worth watching and all these muthaf$ckers can say is where is Beyonce, Rihanna, and Alicia? Are y’all serious? How about talking about the fact that Kelly Price, Marsha Ambrosious, Jill Scott, and Ledisi put on one of the MOST POWERFUL, MOVING performances, I have ever seen. Iyanla Vanzant also gave a very moving speech to the young girls in the audience.
People are completely missing the point of the show. First off, it was NOT an awards show like people keep saying. It was a show HONORING positive black women that contribute to the community through entertainment and politics. I am sure that ALL of the women that participated did so without pay. The show honored them too! BLACK GIRLS ROCK!
hmm do yall know that these b****** get pay ? Beyoncé is not an artist that u can get like dat : u gotta have tha oney to lmao delusionnal asses. and what would have rihanna done there? Tell me how rihanna is an example for our youth? dnt worry i’ll wait.

and i agree @DUMMIES with whatchu said about beyonce.
LOLOL!!!!!!!!!
Artistry is not based on your itunes charting and the records you sell. Artistry is about talent. Beyonce, Rihanna, and Alicia get special treatment from the mainstream media because of their light-complexion. YES I SAID IT! I do believe Beyonce and Alicia have other talents besides singing. Rihanna has no other talent besides her singing..wearing clothes and being attractive are not a talent. It’s not hating, it’s the truth because I’m light-kinned too and I see how people talk about them to seem above other talented artists like a Fantasia or Monica.
I promise many of these stans would not be interested in
Beyonce, Alicia or Rihanna if they looked like India Arie, who is
a very talented dark-kinned singer. If Beyonce looked like Jill Scott would you still be singing “Irreplaceable”?
You know what… everyone shut up about keri.
MARSHA AMBROSIUS PWNED ALL!
What I said was not to diss Beyonce, Alicia or Rihanna but it is a diss to the certains stans who refuse to think there are no other talented artists besides the ones you stan for.
Oh, Shut up with that hypocritical mess when you’re on here bigging up Keri Hilson, who sells as much s** as the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna when she [Keri] said she wouldn’t resort to doing that. So please spare me with that crap about class and real talent. Have you heard Keri’s latest song “The Way You Love Me”? There’s nothing classy about a woman singing and telling a man to “F*** her” and actually saying the word “p***y” in such a bold and trashy way. Nothing classy or sensual about that at all. Beyonce and Rihanna have sexual songs, but even they’ve never gone that far. That song takes it to a whole new level.
^^^@DUMMIES
So to celebrate that black girls rock, we have to have beyonce and rihanna there? Really? I like bey,I do. Rihanna, eh, not so much. Yes they’re both doing their thing but you all have forgotten that there are other powerful black women who can sing. Jill scott is amazing. Kelly price-amazing. Keri hilson may not be the strongest female singer out now but she is talented. Never understood why people hate her. If you want to get real: chrisette michele will sing circles around bey and rihanna. So will jazmine sullivan. Its not always about record sales. That s*** doesn’t mean anything. After all, half the industry is full of non talented people and they have number 1s. The point of BGR is to uplift black women. What has society come to. In order to uplift black women we have to have rihanna and beyonce there? Smh. This is no shade at anyone. I’m just baffled that people believe that rih and bey are the end all be all in music. Expand your mind musically people.
Keri vocals was on point. She can really sing when she’s not dancing.
So umm you’re telling me that Beyonce doesn’t have a song named KITTY KAT? Which is just another word for p@ssy? Or that she wasn’t referring to her man’s huge umm EGO? Come on now, stop calling the kettle black.
@ S***: COSIGN on this post!!! ” @ PURE WHITE HOTNESS: LOL, Id be mad too if my President was Black…
You’re Funny :lol:”
More like PURE HOT MESS, what a dummy, get a life wanna be KKK, stop hating yourself because of your mind-numbing fear that blacks will ultimately dethrone yo ass, punk.
Anyway, I agree with some of the others in here. Beyonce and Riri WERE probably invited, and they probably shot down the offer. But this show wasn’t all about “let’s get the biggest and baddest celebs”, it was about honoring those “who stood on the backs” of greats and all those who came before who shoved their way through the constricting barricades that’s been trying to block our passage for generations. But the hell with that.. Blacks shall rise and we shall reign! CAN’T HOLD US DOWN!

You are so right. All three of those ladies do fall into a certain category. While talent plays a part in their popularity, they all perpetuate the “Hollywood” standard of beauty. Sadly, times have not changed that much and many of the talented darker complexioned women are overshadowed image-wise. Therefore they are overlooked and not as successful. Sad but, true.
So because you reached a certain success level….you have sold out black ness out….and you sold your soul to whitey…..really black people…but dumb or ignorant can you get….this is why we have so much division in out culture..because we have crabs running around……
@dumMiEs
im not a man, but i know that most of BEYONCE fans are WOMEN, all across the world, so the gay men thing is true to point , i dont think 95% of her fans are men i say about 55% are men…i mean look at GAGA, BRITNEY SPEARS…..those are the ones with a HUGE Gay following
Kelly, Ledisi, Marsha, and Jill…KILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was a good show(and I use “good” loosely) I commend the women sending a positive message to that Black Girls Do Rock…..HOWEVER, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED OF MONICA AND THIS 20YR STRUGGLE……..GIRL, you been THRU IT, you MADE IT…WE GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!! signed, DAMN!(nice performance though)
Jill Scott was on point and she rocked it !!!! Keri was great and looked great
Keyshia Cole was lacking stage presence for me.
The song with Kelly Price and JIll Scott was amazing !!! “Four Women” all the way !!!!
VV Brown – Never heard of her was she was great.
Shontelle – was alright
Fantasia and the Ladies Rocked !!!!
STOP with the Beyonce and Rhianna s***, get over it, they were not there. The ladies that represented were awesome !!!
WHERE WAS JASMINE SULLIVAN???? UGH…. #FAIL

Imma take control when I climb up on top
I can take that ship boy, switch up your position
Yea you do it hard baby, like you on a mission

Baby you can count down, renew your prescription

I got that kinda lovin’ that’ll keep you off the streets
Yeah, you can see – just where we wanna be
The way you love me the way you love me (F*** Me)
Yeah, that’s me – just where we wanna be
I got that kinda p**** that’ll keep you off the streets

I’m Swaggin, I’m Swaggin..
I’m Swaggin, I’m Swaggin..
Ummm….You were saying? Exactly. Saying “Kitty kat ” >>>>>>>>>>>>> actually flat out saying the word. Now tell me that song is classy, since it’s supposed to be coming from someone with so much CLASS. LOL I’ve already said that Beyonce has sexual songs, but she’s NEVER taken it to the point Keri does in this song.There’s a huge difference between being sensual and downright vulgar, and Keri’s song is definitely the latter.
They all used Beyonce’s Band. And Everyone was Amazing live, the joint venture between BET and BGR was a great decision.
It really sad that this wasn’t about how much grammy’s had been won… Ruby Dee didn’t sell any cd’s…. yet she help pave the way for a ot of our black actress, march and fought hard for some of the things that we enjoy today. I found it too be about inspiring young black girls that they too can be anything they want to be in life… Rihanna and Beyonce will probably be omitted from a lot of shows… It’s okay that a girl could want to become a singer but, there are other choices beside that. Being, Doctors, Lawyers, President, Governor, CEO of your own company ,rebounding from a***, to help in the fight. Keke Palmer spoke to young and up coming girls who may pursue a career in acting, showing that she chooses her parts where she will be proud… no nudity etc. Let’s remember that those who perform did great jobs but, the main focus where on the ones who had accomplish in life something’s that fifty years ago would have been impossibe!
Lord, Beyonce’s name comes up and everybody go CRAZY!…Why does it matter if they used Beyonce’s band. It’s only temporary, her band will be back with her on the next tour you all. The Suga Mamas can’t just limit themselves to Beyonce’, limiting themselves to one artist doesn’t pay the bills!
Some you act like this was the VMA’s or something….. First of all the show came from a FOUNDATION that a BLACK WOMAN created, it wasn’t meant to go all out and have unnecessary performances and spend money on a whole bunch of nonsense, it was a nice little ceremony to COMMEND us as a WHOLE and not just one woman or the most powerful women, if thats the case oprah should have up in there too!! I swear this generation is so simpl-minded stop making this about your favorite because it is NOT….and do these b****** pay you for this s*** because i would hope so with all this damn plugging
Also why the F*** do you all keep asking “where” is this person and “where” is that person???? did you ever stop to think THEY HAD OTHER OBLIGATIONS?? or maybe THEY WANTED TO MUCH MONEY TO BE THERE i know BET isnt the greatest but damn give them a break….it was not meant to be THAT SERIOUS. If someone wasnt there it was for good reason….it was alot of black women not there
Kelly Price, Marsha Ambrosius, Jill Scott & Ledisi – ‘Four Women’ – AND THAT IS WHY BLACK GIRLS ROCK!
BEYONCE AND RIHANNA SHOULDNT EVEN BEEN USED IN THE SAME SENTENCE. THATS LIKE USING MICHAEL JACKSON AND NE-YO IN THE SAME SENTENCE.
@DUMMIES GAYS WERENT HER CORE FAN BASE WHEN SHE STARTED U DUMMY BUT GAGAS WAS SO SHE OWES A LOT TO THEM
Okay Monica Was definately the BEST That Ive seen that night her song suited the occasion and her vocals were FLAWLESS~~~ @S*** ur funny as HELL~!!
listen i loved the women who were there. especially keri and the legend monica. But the fact that beyonce and rihanna weren’t there is dissapointing. Rihanna is not a sell-out to white people, Rude boy was a call-out to her Caribbean roots. Beyonce is so hot that she hasn’t released a song in months yet is as hot as her peers that have songs out. The fact that these women weren’t there makes it seem as though once a black person becomes really successful they lose the support of the African- American community. Just because Beyonce and Rihanna have enough talent to appeal audiances of all creeds, colors, sexualities, and nationalities doesn’t mean they are not black. SMH.
and i love jill scott she is boss
Im waiting for White Entertainment Television to become a channel on TV…i wonder if all the african Americans in the US would have a tangle in there weave if this was ever to happen. I think Martin Luther king Jr. would rise from the dead if it was true. And im sure there would be multiple lawsuits about WHITES being RACIST! First of all BLACK WOMEN SUCK! They are the most annoying obnoxious THING to walk on the earth. If White Women Rock was the next show Jessica Simpson was hosting it would be the start of WORLD WAR III. Because these obnoxious black women “wouldn has that” It makes it perfectly fine to have BET and BLACK WOMEN ROCK???????? F*** NO. I’m a White Guy SERIOUSLY confused about why this isn’t being blown up about racism. Because if you changed BLACK to WHITE there WOULD be something on the news about a racist TV channel. BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE RACIST SONS OF B******!!!! hope all you brownies read this. You f****** need to.
@CAVDOGWPWW
FIRST: Over 95% of television is “White Entertainment Television”…the first black person wasn’t “allowed” to make an appearance on mainstream television until 1939. For goodness sakes…Michael Jackson had the first black video aired on MTV…what took so long? Obviously you didn’t get the memo, but just as many white women wear weave as black women…it’s just hair…
SECOND: Sorry to burst your bubble, but no, there wouldn’t be any lawsuits or any raising from the dead…BET and the show is not anti-white or racist, it’s simply a way to socially uplift black women and young black girls. We as a people were stripped of our culture and language and forced to be…for lack of a better word…American. Lol@ WORLD WAR III…I think it’s pretty obvious who the imperialists are and who starts the wars around here…
THIRD: Why the negativity? You shouldn’t have to bring people down to build yourself up. i.e. BLACK WOMEN SUCK? Brownies? Annoying obnoxious THING? Those are the typical exploitative and tainted opinions/remarks that make a show like BGR necessary in the first place. No pun intended, but a White Girls Rock show will NEVER be made, and if you don’t know why, you’re more “mis-educated” than I thought.
IN CLOSING: I do agree with one statement you made…you are a “guy that is SERIOUSLY confused”, doesn’t matter if you’re white or not. I’m here to tell you don’t be confused honey. READ. Because YOU need to.
