@Roro, Beyonce wore a gown with a high slit that was belted and made of satan….nick is wearing a mermaid gown with a statement necklace and is in highlighter yellow(on trend i might add) while bey’s was mustard gold…..nothing similar about it….I wish y’all non fashion folks would leave this shit to professionals(like myself) and stop fucking reaching with NO facts to stand on and no credentials to check

Our race relations have improved tremendously!!

We now have now reached a point when a black woman (Nicki Minaj) can be white and a white woman (Christina Aguliera) can turn black. Amazing! :))

Jordin and Jason look cute. I don’t know what’s going on with Christina’s weight. Nicki looks crazy to me. Wow! How badly does she want to be white? SMHD She was way prettier before.

I think Nicki looks 100 times nicer than she has in the past! She needs to stick with a simple look more often and black hair sometimes… just sometimes. BUT I don’t believe in stifling peoples creativity and fun to make society more comfortable. So… my preaching being done, WHAT IS UP WITH CHRISTINA’S WEIGHT?! I LOVE her and I love a curvy woman but she needs to get it together. Especially with that spray tanning… Good lawd.
