  Ciara fucking came for BLOOD and SOULS!
  
  She’s so awesome!
- let the truth be known
  
  Loved Brandy, Keyshia and Alicia singing. great! Ciara’s dancing was good. Missy came to save the day!
- Girrrl
  
  Wasn’t here for Alicia
  Brandy did a good job but lacked stage presence
  Keyshia Cole really impressed me! She is getting my money.
  Ciara slayed with Missy.
  The men were wonderful.

  Keyshia Cole was fantastic. I look forward to purchasing her album.

  Loved India.Arie, Keyshia and Ciara were great too
- Lexis
  
  Brandy & India Arie were great! I’m not really here for Uncle CiCi lip synching for her life but her choreography was good.
  - Deeceelewis
    
    Oh just shut the hell up. You just a hater. And i mean this. Just admit that she sounded great. Dumbass!
    
    Lexis
    
    Girl bye! Like I said, I’m not here for Ciara lip synching for her life when everyone else at this event sang LIVE! But for your satisfaction, she sounded fantastic -___-
- theman
  
  Swv did great as well.
- R&B LIVES
  
  Imma give this one to Keyshia Cole…….. Whitney Houston always said when u sing from the heart that those are the performances people would live for …….. keep singing from the heart KC.
  
  CiCi was ok …. Kimmel performance was better.
  
  Was Brandy singing live or not? Was her mic autotuned?
  
  Not being funny but I really am confused. Why is the best vocalist on the show using autotune or lipsynching???? It ruins her performances for me
  
  Anyway, congrats Keyshia… great job… keep promoting that song on TV.

    Brandy was singing live. Ciara on the other hand…………….
  - CheReiHino
    
    And she wasnt using Autotune either.

  Ok, Brandy is definitley not lip synching. Also I just don’t get this era, why are people so hard on her? Just let her do her thing and if you like you like it and if not you don’t. A millions people may have not gone and bought her album the first week but people are buying it, so what at what pace. As long as she just do what she does and RCA supports her just let it be. Everybody wants to play A&R on these blogs nowadays. Its not the easiest job, the artist is not a puppet they aren’t going to do everything that a manager or a record label says. Let her just do her thing. Stop playing A&R people cause the job looks and sounds easy but its not.

  the crowd look bored as hell during ciaras performance, lucky missy got them all on their feet!
- Deeceelewis
  
  First lemme say, why do people always say that Ciara is Lip syncing? Do you need your bi-focals fixed? Is it because they still wanna be hateful and dont want to admit that she sounded great (Haters). Especially compared to how she sounded back in 2004? Get The hell outta here. Brandy lacked stage presence to me. She did good though. Anywho, Ciara and Keyshia stole the whole damn show. I was so amazed with both of them. Especially Keyshia, because i didnt expect that great of a performance from her. I already knew Ciara was gonna bring it. Congrats to both of them

  Keyshia fucking Cole is getting my coins! Enjoyed her & Brandy’s performances!
  
  Ciara……ok girl……
  
  Missy…….I wanted her to do the entire song to 9th inning as well as a medley
  
  I ain’t been here for India since brown skin but go head & play your flute girl
  
  The men……..I’m so crushing on Luke James, Anthony hamilton doing his usual sangin for the blood of jesus that I’m always here for
  
  Alicia……I’ll keep it short & brief: NO.
  
  Overall it was another great show! This is 1 show in EBT that is done well, major props to Beverly Bond. Amazing woman.

  SWV KILLED that. That damn Coko can sang her ass off.

  love India Arie
- Jezzari Asantiago
  
  Love the growth in Keyshia Cole!!! She is on my list of must have artists!!!
- dropboy80
  
  I just have to say go ahead to everyone that performed. I LOVE me some Brandy and SWV. You know you be sangin when people think that you are being auto tuned…lol…. When are you people gonna get it. BRANDY is the TRUTH!!!… Her vocals are flawless and that’s just that. Coko could have really shut that place down, but she held back except for that one note she went for… I aint mad at her though….Keisha was serving 4 me as well….. I LOVE India. She is such a damn artist….Ciara gave me performance 4 real, and I aint even mad that she was lipsinging…however, let me just say that if Beyonce had been doing a full out dance routine, her ass still would have been singing LIVE…. I’m just saying…B don’t play
