      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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
