Hottest Ticket in Town...BET

I was kind of dissapointed in the BET Awards this year. With a corny host and great to mediocre performances, lets just say it could have been better. But one thing that I can say is that the stars deffinitely stepped out in there flyest attire for the show.
Two of my favorites of the night were deffinitely Alicia Keys and Gabrielle Union. Alicia wore this gorgeous peach/hot pink strapless cocktail dress. With her beautiful hair pulled back in a puff ball type thing she looked really nice. It was simple but classic. Gabrielle Union donned this stunning simple white gown. It was reminiscent of a simple grecian dress. For the dudes, Terrence, of 106 and Park, deffinitely came clean. His look was a spin on the classic coat tie look. John Legen kept it classic and Ms. Rihanna wore a breathtaking yellow gown. It was a very flowly and summery gown. Im not sure about Jennifer Hudsons new blunt cut, but her form fitting bronze strapless dress was simply beautiful. As was Jordin Sparks who looked great in her simple red cocktail dress. My future husband, Chris Brown(lol,jk) rocked his whole urban thing with a plain shirt and leather jacket, with what i think were leathe Supra sneakers. I appreaceiate Solanges intresting outfit. It was actually cute, but she needed a better hair style and better accesories.
Soulja Boy with all his accesories looked like a mess, while although daring Lil Mama's strawberry shortcake thing didnt cut the cake.
Keri Hilson looked like a freaken baked potato...
Ummm...what else...Oh yea..whoever saw Alicia Keys performance with Envogue, SWV, and TLC had to enjoy it. That was my favorite part of the show! And did anyone notice that one of the Pretty Ricky guys changed. Also the Al Green tribute was legendary... T-pains creative circus themed performance was really dope, while his outfits were not. I also loved Chris Brown and Ciara and seeing my JABBAWOCKEEZ! If you missed it see the encore on Friday the 27th.

Solange...or should I say Sol-Angel


Solange is not little Beyonce anymore...with her new look, Ms. Knowles is definitely back with a force. With her new album "Sol-Angel and The Hadley Street Dreams", she shows how she has matured. With her new song, "I Decided"( which I love!) she travels through time (noting fashion at it BEST and worst). She is currently on tour with Chrisete Michele and Raheem Devaughn. Her new style is like a collision course of the 60's and 80's(2 decades worth of good fashion and good music).Now revamped she can finally step out of Beyonce and Destiny's Child shadow. Check out her "I Decided" video and more of her music and new look on : http://www.myspace.com/solange
