The Billboard Awards

December 5, 2006

We got to watch the show from the press room so unfortunately we missed out on seeing all of the wonderful performances but we did enjoy The Fray, Fergie and Mary J Blige who was clearly the big Billboard winner of the night. Mary J took home nine awards including Female R&B/hip-hop artist of the year. Other winners included Carrie Underwood, T.I., Chris Brown, and Tony Bennett who was presented the Billboard Century Award by Stevie Wonder. It was a fun filled night.

I was just wondering Pop, did you get a chance to ask Fergie is she was drunk during her performance? Because I think she was.

Aubrey?..the blonde one? Something is wrong with her..her face was bloated and she put on about 15lbs. I was wondering if anyone else noticed that.

Mary J Blige is the sh*t! She is probably my FAVORITE female artist of all time. Her songs are so powerful, and she is the queen of hp hop?- r&b!!!! Rhianna is BEAUTIFUL, but her forehead looks a bit large. I actually thought Fergie looked really pretty! Her face looked different, and her body is insane. Pop- why no pics od Danity Kane? I wanted everyone to see how ridiculous the one in the middle looked. She looked like she has about 10 pounds of fake hair on.

Is it just me or does Rihanna look like a cross dresser? Waaay too much makeup for her!! Fergie looks cute in the dress. And I liked Katherine McPhee's shorter black dress. Hate Janet's wig/weave/whatever. And what the hell are her back up dancers wearing?! Her abs do look freakishly airbrushed on. Looks like I didn't miss much so I'm glad I didn't watch!

I didn't really care for Gwen's new song when it first came out but now that I have heard it so much it is starting to grow on me. That being said I think that her performance last night was horrible, IMO she sounded awful.

nelly furtado looks so pretty...when did carrie underwood get so skinny? wtf she looked fine before...gwen just annoys the shit out of me and that song she "sung" was/is horriable...pop music these days is just whack...fergie really sucked too i dont know why she's trying to rap like she's an old skool bgirl from the 80's, give it up please ewe she's so untalented and ugly.
