Okay, I am forcing myself to sit and watch the BET Awards and it is really painful (as all award shows are). The corny writing that takes a stab at witty banter is killing me.
Of course the young folks they have stationed near the stage seemed to be enjoying themselves but when the camera panned the audience they looked kind of dumbfounded. Kanye (and one or two other people) were standing in support. Everyone else was stunned into disbelief (at least that is what it looked like to me).
Come on Keyshia, you’ve got to admit you had an off night. I refuse to believe you are one of those singers who can’t deliver the goods live. Plus, I watched your reality show once so I can’t help but root for you. But girl, you have got to do better.
Contrast her performance with Alicia Keys who clearly prepared. She got everyone on her their feet before she the girl groups came out. SWV looked a little tentative (but two of them haven’t performed in a while), En Vogue came out strong and TLC held it down. Keyshia, I hope you were taking notes. This is how a sister is supposed to represent.

Hey Corynne,
Interesting blog you have here. Seems like you payed very close attention. Anywho..after reading a bit about you I have some info that I really think you would be interested in and would like you to spread the word about.
I’m currently working with Toyota and I’m really hyped to spread the word about our new interactive webisodes, If Looks Could Kill. They follow an aspiring fashion assistant, Bianca, who is a prime example of a woman who’s got it going on. I’m talking the dream job, a man who’s got all the ladies drooling, and the spice to keep it all together when hell hits the fan. Think James Bond meets Sanaa Lathan in “Something New”, Bianca is the girl who isn’t afraid to run in her Louboutin heels!

You’ll have to see what I’m talking about. Don’t forget to check out the second episode—BFF in a Box—which is available today (6/23). This girl is definitely courageous! She’s kind of like today’s Foxy Brown, don’t you think? You’ve probably already been reeled in so don’t stop now.
I hope I didn’t overstep my bounds by directly contacting you. After viewing your blog and seeing how hip to the game you are when it comes to what’s hot and current, I figured this would be something that would catch your interest.
Looking forward to the girl talk!
Best,
