Acapella


Before I give you all some more AMA fever - Fearless in Fashion as I mentioned yesterday (and BTW the damn blogger program kept freezing so I have to post the images today, better late than never right?!), my original BOO, my number ONE, KELIS is BACK. She's my kindred spirit and twin (some days we look alike a lot; I've been asked if we're related - I usually get excited when people say that lol because I mean she's do darn cute).

Her new song, which should be hitting airwaves soon, is a dancers dream: uptempo beats, euro club sound and Kelis' monotone voice over the track - who can ask for more. Listen up for yourselves. My girl nails this one and I'm ready for her comeback.

AMA's 2009 - I'M SO HARD



Well, well, well. Last night was pretty eventful I must say. The Eagles won the game, my boo Shakira is back and Whitney Houston has definitely had the comeback of the year. The 2009 AMA's were full of excitement and great performances. Of course without a doubt, my babygirl Rihanna freaked it! I know, I know, she is not the GREATEST performer out there, but she looked amazing and when the lights went down and her shoulder pads started to flicker with laser beams, I was sold! I need a jacket that does that now lol.


J.Lo put on her Louboutins and showed us, despite busting her bums on the stage, that she has still got it. I thought her performance was super cute and the way she changed her outfit on stage in the seat was real slick. Go Jenny.


Mary, as always, looked nice and sexy for her age. She will always and forever be the Queen of Hip Hop. Her ballads have helped women through many a trial and tribulation; her new sense of self appreciation through song is right on time!


The J the A the N the E the T the T the T the T its Janettttt hold up. Its Janetttt! Janet ripped the stage last night. At 43 Ms. Jackson is still killing us softly with her dance moves and grandiose performances. She looked amazing on stage and she still has it. Her tribute at the end to Michael was heartfelt. I wonder if everyone got it, "everywhere I go, every star I see, I know you are there, smiling back at me." We miss you Mike.


Lady Gaga is so weird, but it makes so much sense for her. No one else could pull off alienesque foam coverings over their shoes and face the way she did and make it look hot! Breaking the glass bottles over the piano keys was a unique touch to her performance.


Shakira, Shakira, Shakira - you better WORK. This Colombian/Lebanese beauty is back with a vengance and looked killer on stage in her Balmain dress. Though the step sequence had me feeling like I was watching my Sorors work it out on stage, it was ubercute and added edge to the performance.


All I can say about this performance is you go Whitney! This woman has persevered through a lot. No, her voice will never sound the same, but you name me one new female artist that can withstand what she has been through and still have people on their feet and in tears! Whitney is the ish and she will always and forever be just that.

These were just a few of my favorite performances by some of my favorite women. Check back for the fearless in fashion flicks.

Call Me Ms. Jackson If You're Nasty

In a heartfelt interview with Robin Roberts last night on ABC, Janet Jackson, Ms. Jackson if you're nasty NAILED IT! She is uber-adorable and always seems to maintain her cool in an interview no matter the severity of the question. She looked phenomenal as always and her soft voice always makes me want to shed a tear. Janet seemed geninuely at peace and ease with her brothers situation and I loved when she said "Robin I know you're not going to ask me that." Good one J.

Seeing clips of Ms. Jackson in her heyday brought back many memories for me and I actually shed a tear. Overall I say this interview was a 10! And Janet I think you are goregous just the way that you are!




P.S. Now next time I do need to seem some polish on those nails missy. A lil Wicked or Berry Hard would have completed your look. Next time though. Next time.

It's Been A Longtime....

WAZZUP WAZZZUP WAZZUPPPPAAHHHHH

I shouldn't have left you! My goodness what a couple months this has been. I've been on my grind working on a special project which will, with the blessing from the lord, be ready in 6 months time. You will be the first to know trust! In any event, let's see who's been nailing it these past couple of weeks:

YANKEES - GO BLUE


So in true NY fashion, my Yankees took home a World Series win for 2009! I've been telling folks that this year was going to end with a bang and 2010 was going to be an even better one so let's hear it for my boys in stripes and say THANK YOU for nailing it in 09! And ladies, in true nail it fashion if you want to support our boys for the rest of November, pay them a lil blue homage with Essie's Midnight Cami - it's a sure winner.





RIHANNA



So, I know all of you are annoyed with Rih Rih right now and her 'victim' behavior, but as always my boo is NAILING it with her music and fashion swag. I'm not sure if I am on the bandwagon of her being a devil worshipper because of Russian Roulette - I think the song is FIRE! I've related it more to being in love with someone and them hurting you're heart vs. her really wanting to kill herself. FAIL.


AMERIE




Folks have been sleeping on Amerie since her first album All I Have and let me inform you all at once, she NAILS it! I don't think she gets enough play from the radio stations and her A&R sucks big time, but my girls ballads will definitely have you feeling like she was in your head or reading your diary as she belts out tunes that all of us can relate to. I mean I am still on "It's this one thing that got me trippin/it's this one thing that got me trippin you/this one thing the song made me feel it/its this one thing you do ohhhooohhhhh." My homeboy and fellow bison Kareem James just did a sick fashion spread with Ms. Amerie in complex. To read more about that check out http://metanoyaz.blogspot.com/.

TREY SONGZ

Nothing to say. See for yourself....


Those are just my picks for now. I'm sure there are many more who are nailing it, but I've had my eye on these four for some time now. I'll be back with some more tidbits and news. And it definitely won't take 2 months for me to make it happen yo prometo ;).
