Roxstars, Back at it again! Lol. I love the BET Awards. Enjoy. itsrox Follow me: Instagram @4itsrox Twitter @itsrox Snapchat itsroxonthesnap Email: 4itsroxbusiness@gmail.com xoxo
That New Edition tribute was EVERYTHING!! I nearly blew a hole in my esophagus trying to sing along. From the kids, to the New Edition cast to the original members, they all did really well!!! I was definitely touched seeing Michelle Obama (my first lady). I so miss them!!
The best part was the New Edition tribute. Why was Bobby Brown dressed like Jerome from Martin in that red coat when he was going to the Players Ball 😂.
I love Bruno Mars. I don't understand why people do not like Bruno's musical style based on the '60s 70s & 80s r&b, but they singing "Molly percocet" 🤦🏾♀️🙄
Zakena Dixon actually no... I know those words because I'm a nurse, who works in an ER, and attends training classes on the prescription drug epidemic in our country, where public figures glorify illegally using narcotics...so yeah.
Noir Belle well said. When I hear and see him, I see his love for the funk and Morris Day and Prince. That was such a dope period in black music. I love that he's bringing it back. It was lost for a long time.
aldo holmes Chance the Rapper is gonna be shoved down "regular" black America's throats by "elite" black America(Obama and Oprah, LOL)....I'd rather wait for some results, but I'm glad he is doing positive things.
damn! they sho-nuff missed the mark on that one! Or did they? you know sponsorships mean a whoooole lot at the end of the day---especially to BET. Every damn award was "sponsored" by some kinda huge, or slightly huge conglomerate. Can't risk pissing, or turning off them $'s!
BET forgot Yara was nominated too because they had her sitting so far back it took her damn near 5 minutes to get onstage. You see she took off jogging at one point.
I love Bruno Mars. He is a classic blend of old school R&B/soul/funk and he has amazing showmanship!!!! Great music comes from great music. There are no new chords under the sun, so I am not sure why anyone would hate on him. It is not hurting him though. His shows are sold out and the two that he is doing in NC in Sept and Oct have hardly any seats left. In fact, he has floor seats as high as $1500. So, cheers to Bruno. I am very happy for him and will continue to invest in his music.
That New Edition performance was EVERYTHING! I was dancing & singing along w/ every song. 💃 👩🎤 I thought about you when "Poison" came on! 😂 I think they should've saved that as the last performance. DJ Khaled, we all know you have a son... please, stop already.
The New Edition performance with the kid and adult cast was SO BEAUTIFUL. I was re-watching today, like damn black people are amazing. From the kids to the adults, it was flawless despite all the technical issues with mics and sound.
Bruno Mars is an ultimate entertainer; his live performance reminds me of the old school groups back in the day. And, you are right he gives credit to the black artists that have influenced him and he knows that it was black people that started a lot of these music genres. Kandi and Xscape need to get a vocal coach for a tune up because they were not in sync. I agreed, I used to love me some Maxwell but he's surviving on fumes now...not interested, next. NEW EDITION, Yassssssss chile!!!!!!
NEW EDITION was my favorite part of the night and loved loved loved how they had all the editions on stage at the end lol I actually cried too.They are more than deserving of that award.BET need to record and air one of their concerts! They were the absolute best part of the show!
I love me some Bruno Mars. I saw him in concert a few years back and when I tell you I left in a full on hot, sweaty mess... I had a blast! Can't wait to see him again this year.
Btw, you're absolutely right. Kandi has always been the weakest link vocally in the group. Her voice harmonizes well but she's always sounded off when she's leading. And I think there's a lot to the notion that they broke up because LaTosha was being asked to lead more of the songs mainly because she just sounds better vocally.
Now, Rox...go back and look at the last performances that Tamar did at the BET Awards and look at this one. It's clear that she sang to a pre-recorded track, at least at the end, when she was doing all that hair and neck shit and her voice never broke or had a shake or anything. It sounded just like a track. Hell, even when Beyoncé do all that head movement and dancing, you can hear her voice change too.
Tamar wrote that song because based off their reality show on WeTv Momma Braxton aka Ms Evelyn is still even after 20+ years is not, I repeat NOT over what happened between her and her ex-husband. You would think they just got divorced last week 😂😂lol
I figured when she wrote this song Ms. Evelyn must not be over it....which is unfortunate because she really is a good looking woman and I would think she'd find a nice handsome older man easily. I guess not though.
Brooklynn Richards She wrote it after Toni wrote a song in reference to her mom. Being that the woman was a friend of theirs and was a frequent in their lives the pain constantly revisits because the father is a constant. If you've never walked in her shoes, you can't even imagine.
Brooklynn Richards I said the same thing watching this past season. She was all why are they in my space? I was like "now Evelyn it has been enough time between then and now for a whole person to grow up. Its time to let it pass on by." 😂
Not Lil Kim STUFFED IN HER DRESS! I hope you can give me a part time on your channel, I will hold the camera because if I keep laughing this loud at work I'm getting fired.
Maxwell: I wish he would do a throwback on 1 of these award shows.Particularly 'Sumthin sumthin'.Thats my jam! But he could just stand there and I would be happy! He's so freaking beautiful!
Kendrick wants to be different and be humble and regular as fuck (for lack of a better term). He wants to press the whole no label thing that's why he dresses basic.
+4itsrox Great Review Roxanne! The fact that you came back and added Xscape is true testament to your dedication to your channel & us your Roxstars. We appreciate you.👏👏✊
Ms. Rox, can I just say you so well put together! Ms. Almondy Brown! I love your reviews and you have me cracking up every time. What lipstick/lip gloss is that? Omg. Just gorgeous.
It was live - the extraness makes people feel like it was lip synced, but that's what makes Tamar, Tamar. If you listen to the audio track & from the shows she's done on tour with Anthony Hamilton (Dallas, Houston, SC), they cut out some parts from the song for the live performance. Or you can listen here: twitter.com/damnloyaIty/status/879184052049391621
Ok. To each his/her own. The oh oh oh oh oh sounded like a mix of live & track (probably to add more richness to sound?) but nevertheless, everything else was live. You can hear/see from the vid backstage she was at full voice, why lip sync for her first solo BET performance? That wouldn't make sense. Vince would not let her be out there like that, wife or not. That's his reputation as Record Exec on the line.
I think Lil Duval will be a good host for next yr, and yes that Detroit movie is based off A true story. I'm from Detroit and I remember I had to do a report on the riot that happened back in the 60s for middle School.
I think the issue with Bruno mars is even though he shows appreciation he never really shows up for us I could be wrong but this is the first real black awards show I've seen him perform on. The fact that your eager to perform our music at Super Bowl halftimes, the Grammys, Billboard awards and all those other awards shows but not make time (until now) for the bet/soul train awards show is probably why some black people cant accept the appreciation
The saxophonist that came out with El Debarge name is Kamasi Washington.....if you like jazz, he is the TRUTH!!! ♥♥ New Edition was my favorite segment of the show as well, brought back memories like they always do. ♥♥
4itsrox Please do, I don't think you will be disappointed. Although, his songs run a bit long, lol, it's worth a listen. You can listen to "The Epic" here in CZcams. He played the horn in Kendrick Lamar' s "Alright". He's played for other well know artists as well. Okay, I'm done...😄
New Edition and Bruno Mars were my fave parts. I thought SZA sounded good too, my first time hearing her! I just love watching people who really love to sing and perform
That New Edition tribute was EVERYTHING!! I nearly blew a hole in my esophagus trying to sing along. From the kids, to the New Edition cast to the original members, they all did really well!!!
I was definitely touched seeing Michelle Obama (my first lady). I so miss them!!
"he had his mama pants on." I'm WEAK!!! 😂😂😂😂
I choked on my juice when she said that..LOL
The best part was the New Edition tribute. Why was Bobby Brown dressed like Jerome from Martin in that red coat when he was going to the Players Ball 😂.
I love Bruno Mars. I don't understand why people do not like Bruno's musical style based on the '60s 70s & 80s r&b, but they singing "Molly percocet" 🤦🏾♀️🙄
HK_ Nurse You better say that! (Insert praise dance 💃)
HK_ Nurse bc ppl have personal preferences. you clearly listen to it cause that version of mask off not even on the radio lol
HK_ Nurse because they're stupid
Zakena Dixon It's on the radio in SC. That's the only version I know.
Zakena Dixon actually no... I know those words because I'm a nurse, who works in an ER, and attends training classes on the prescription drug epidemic in our country, where public figures glorify illegally using narcotics...so yeah.
lol when J. Foxx came out and said "I good, I'm still clean" it was reference to Safaree and it went over everybody's head -😂
Shay Shay 😂😂😂 i caught that ! He was petty as hell for that !!
Shay Shay I caught it! I was crackin up!
Shay Shay I caught it with a fish pole 🎣😂
I got it 😂😂😂
Chile! Thanks for clearing that up because it went over my head.
Who gotta problem with Bruno??! A very talented young man. Cute too.
The plum wine will have you in the middle of the street wearing a football helmet and some footies! It's delicious though.
imgrownforreal Im have to try it lol
It is pretty cheap, but sweet. I usually get the Fu-ki brand- watch yourself. :)
imgrownforreal 😂😂😂😂😂😂
imgrownforreal ok I will 😂👏
imgrownforreal 😂🙄😂
Bruno pays his dues. Bruno does cultural APPRECIATION not appropiation.
I think so too.
I think Bruno Mars is DOPE! He makes music fun again, I appreciate that.
Noir Belle His was the best performance to me!
Noir Belle well said. When I hear and see him, I see his love for the funk and Morris Day and Prince. That was such a dope period in black music. I love that he's bringing it back. It was lost for a long time.
loop right and he's part black so is he supposed to just cancel that out
New Edition and the guys from the movie was the best moment of the show. They should've been the closing act.
Yes the show was to long.....I fell asleep & woke back up & it was still on I was like damn
I felt it ways soooo wrong they didn't acknowledge COLIN KAEPERNICK ! he put his entire career on the line for
#blacklivesmatter ✊✊✊✊✊✊
Yeah, they should've said something.
I said the exact same thing
aldo holmes
Chance the Rapper is gonna be shoved down "regular" black America's throats by "elite" black America(Obama and Oprah, LOL)....I'd rather wait for some results, but I'm glad he is doing positive things.
damn! they sho-nuff missed the mark on that one! Or did they? you know sponsorships mean a whoooole lot at the end of the day---especially to BET. Every damn award was "sponsored" by some kinda huge, or slightly huge conglomerate. Can't risk pissing, or turning off them $'s!
aldo holmes smfh
"If somebody don't get Quavo, Offset, and READY SET GO" ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rox that ONE line made my day!!!!!!
BET forgot Yara was nominated too because they had her sitting so far back it took her damn near 5 minutes to get onstage. You see she took off jogging at one point.
I love Bruno Mars. He is a classic blend of old school R&B/soul/funk and he has amazing showmanship!!!! Great music comes from great music.

Chile Jaime Foxx took them kids on a field trip to The BET Awards 🙈🙉🙊😂😂😂
Jameka Nicole
😂😂😂
Jameka Nicole They was all over the place goofin around & whatnot lol
That New Edition performance was EVERYTHING! I was dancing & singing along w/ every song. 💃 👩🎤 I thought about you when "Poison" came on! 😂 I think they should've saved that as the last performance.
DJ Khaled, we all know you have a son... please, stop already.
Yesss! There was no need for anyone else to perform after New Edition! I turned my TV off after that.
And they be in sync and in tune. I love Bruno and his Houlagins...
New Editon New Edition That Luke James and the guy who played Ralph so fine
myesha ollie as soon as he hit the stage, I almost forgot I was married.
when she said Patti Labelle Nu Attitude.. 😂😂😂
Rhemie Kardoucian yooooo I was dying too
😂😂😂
I appreciate Bruno Mars for putting 100% into each performance he does.wish more artists of today would do the same.
i agree, Leslie isn't an ugly woman but she can do a little better with her hair and style
Ashley Lucas she was on the red carpet in this green dress with her hair done she looked great but during the show nah I really think it's the hair
yes please do something with your head, I think she will look better with a natural...she will be giving us NINA SIMONE tease
Bruno is a true entertainer
not Kendrick look like he always going to the grocery store😂😂😂 #fixitJesus
Khiry Lawan yes! He always looks dusty. I know he does it on purpose but goodness! He was floodin' last night!
Chance was dressed like Michael on his dash date which was fitting because MJJ was a big humanitarian.
Gwendolyn Johnson
And it was the anniversary of MJ's death.
yes and I am mad that they didn't even mention it was the anniversary of his death, I kept waiting for it..** 😠😠😠😠😠
all xscape got to do is hang out with each other 'til all they cycle's synchronized, then that harmony on and crackin'! lol lol just jokin'. :-) :-)
Zuri Indigo 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
YOU ARE PROBABLY RIGHT!!
I was getting ready to say she was right too! Lol
Even though she did yell the entire time! I enjoyed Leslie because she enjoyed herself!
I wasn't expecting to like her, but I thought she did a good job
The New Edition performance with the kid and adult cast was SO BEAUTIFUL. I was re-watching today, like damn black people are amazing. From the kids to the adults, it was flawless despite all the technical issues with mics and sound.
Somebody on Twitter said Chris Brown been remixing "Loyal" for 5 years 😂😂😂😂
Bruno Mars is an ultimate entertainer; his live performance reminds me of the old school groups back in the day. And, you are right he gives credit to the black artists that have influenced him and he knows that it was black people that started a lot of these music genres. Kandi and Xscape need to get a vocal coach for a tune up because they were not in sync. I agreed, I used to love me some Maxwell but he's surviving on fumes now...not interested, next. NEW EDITION, Yassssssss chile!!!!!!
Right on time. Push me thru til 5! 🙌🙌🙌
Ardie Party I was thinking the exact same way!
Ardie Party ditto🤗😋
Ardie Party same 4:25 ain't Coming fast enough
I'm gonna try to slide out at 4:25, too. That sounds way better than 5. :-)
Ardie Party yess 1 hr to go 😊😊😊😊
She looked like Storm and she sound like Toni. 😂😂
The highlight for me was the cast from the New Edition movie and New Edition on stage in those white suits. It was amazing 😍
NE was incredible!
I screamed the entire time they did the tribute to New Edition! Took me back to my elementary " I love Ralph" days!
S John
It's amazing to see that the young people like real R&B and they don't realize until they hear it...
Juanita Johnson I agree.
Hahaa yess!! Bruno Mars and his cute little self really is the business.
NEW EDITION was my favorite part of the night and loved loved loved how they had all the editions on stage at the end lol I actually cried too.They are more than deserving of that award.BET need to record and air one of their concerts! They were the absolute best part of the show!
I bust into laughter around a group of people when you said future looked like a Doberman pincher.
Thanks Rox for making me look crazy. Lmao.
I love me some Bruno Mars. I saw him in concert a few years back and when I tell you I left in a full on hot, sweaty mess... I had a blast! Can't wait to see him again this year.
Btw, you're absolutely right. Kandi has always been the weakest link vocally in the group. Her voice harmonizes well but she's always sounded off when she's leading. And I think there's a lot to the notion that they broke up because LaTosha was being asked to lead more of the songs mainly because she just sounds better vocally.
Rox your hair is 🔥🔥😍 sound like they barely give out any music awards
tabby314 And make up!!!
Thank you!
I always love purple makeup on you!
I'm glad you put up a review Rox. I love hearing your point of view.
Yasss Rox!!! You are so consistent 😩💓💓💓
And Chance was the only one who gave homage to Michael! See how he was dressed! RIP😇
I never understand the hate on Bruno Mars. That damn Teena Marie is one of my favorite singers! Let Fire and Desire come on...its a wrap.
New Edition was the best part !!! That's all I got lol
Chile , that face is beat Roxanne !!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😛😛😛😛
You Look Pretty Rox
Loving the Makeup♡
Girl I wanted to cry. LOL watching all of new edition performing!young, older and original.
Now, Rox...go back and look at the last performances that Tamar did at the BET Awards and look at this one. It's clear that she sang to a pre-recorded track, at least at the end, when she was doing all that hair and neck shit and her voice never broke or had a shake or anything. It sounded just like a track. Hell, even when Beyoncé do all that head movement and dancing, you can hear her voice change too.
your big sean impression lmaoooooo
anthill927 I was dead at that impersonation 😂
Tamar always EXTRA !!!
Agree.. & she still not better than Toni!
I really liked Leslie's red carpet look.
BET always gives Best New Artist to people who have been out for a minute
Your snaps of the awards had me dying! You a fool and a half and I live for it!
Tamar wrote that song because based off their reality show on WeTv Momma Braxton aka Ms Evelyn is still even after 20+ years is not, I repeat NOT over what happened between her and her ex-husband. You would think they just got divorced last week 😂😂lol
I figured when she wrote this song Ms. Evelyn must not be over it....which is unfortunate because she really is a good looking woman and I would think she'd find a nice handsome older man easily. I guess not though.
Brooklynn Richards
She wrote it after Toni wrote a song in reference to her mom. Being that the woman was a friend of theirs and was a frequent in their lives the pain constantly revisits because the father is a constant. If you've never walked in her shoes, you can't even imagine.
+4itsrox Ms E is definitely still hurt about that divorce
Brooklynn Richards I said the same thing watching this past season. She was all why are they in my space? I was like "now Evelyn it has been enough time between then and now for a whole person to grow up. Its time to let it pass on by." 😂
Brooklynn Richards right!!! when they said hes been married to the 2nd wife for 17 or 18 years i was done with ms E 😂😂😂😂
Not Lil Kim STUFFED IN HER DRESS! I hope you can give me a part time on your channel, I will hold the camera because if I keep laughing this loud at work I'm getting fired.
Rox Star role call!!!!! I'm here!!!
hella late but here!! I was at work AND on the phone with my sister...can only do one fucked up thing at a time on the plantation ya know? 😊
Maxwell: I wish he would do a throwback on 1 of these award shows.Particularly 'Sumthin sumthin'.Thats my jam! But he could just stand there and I would be happy! He's so freaking beautiful!
Rox girl when you did that Ralph Angel impression that shit took me out. LOL I flatlined. 🛌
Kendrick wants to be different and be humble and regular as fuck (for lack of a better term). He wants to press the whole no label thing that's why he dresses basic.
Agree..J.Cole not too flashy either
+4itsrox Great Review Roxanne! The fact that you came back and added Xscape is true testament to your dedication to your channel & us your Roxstars. We appreciate you.👏👏✊
Who else just strongly appreciates ms.rox's consistency 🙌🏾
I'm so crazy, I loved the solid as a rock reference! You are so funny!
I know dog gone well you didn't say "Roseanne Barr"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ms. Rox, can I just say you so well put together! Ms. Almondy Brown! I love your reviews and you have me cracking up every time. What lipstick/lip gloss is that? Omg. Just gorgeous.
kitkat8 doesn't she always look gorgeous ♡♡ my style idol
I absolutely love your look, the blonde tips are everything!
I was mad that they had technical difficulties with SZA's performance.
Yeah....but she didn't let it rattle her so that was good.
The only person who lived for Tamar performance was RuPaul. LIP SYNC FOR YA LIFE & the audacity for ppl to think that Tamar is better than Toni 💀
Kozy Face OMG I said "lip sync for your life" while she was performing and thought she was killing it
Kozy Face Def was a lip sync it just wasn't a lip sync over the actual track...she sung it over again then lip synced that
It was live - the extraness makes people feel like it was lip synced, but that's what makes Tamar, Tamar. If you listen to the audio track & from the shows she's done on tour with Anthony Hamilton (Dallas, Houston, SC), they cut out some parts from the song for the live performance. Or you can listen here: twitter.com/damnloyaIty/status/879184052049391621
Toni has said that Tamar has the best range out of all of them, but that performance was a lip sync to a live track
Ok. To each his/her own. The oh oh oh oh oh sounded like a mix of live & track (probably to add more richness to sound?) but nevertheless, everything else was live. You can hear/see from the vid backstage she was at full voice, why lip sync for her first solo BET performance? That wouldn't make sense. Vince would not let her be out there like that, wife or not. That's his reputation as Record Exec on the line.
Rox, by the way, your makeup was flawless in this video; that plum shade is your color. 😍😍
New Edition said y'all gon see why we legends in this bitch. That whole NE tribute and performance was fuckin epic!!! I got my fuckin life.
Luke James turned me into a believer during his Johnny Gill tribute. He hit that high note and I'm pretty sure I feel in love haha.
Idc. I was kiki'ing at Lesile. That Amber Rose bit had me rolling
Agreed!!
tvpa3 6
Ooooh Rox...u look pretty! Love love the hair and makeup"🙌🏾
You look so beautiful!! Hair and makeup on point!
I think Lil Duval will be a good host for next yr, and yes that Detroit movie is based off A true story. I'm from Detroit and I remember I had to do a report on the riot that happened back in the 60s for middle School.
Christina Jackson Yep. Detroiter here, as well. Based on the '67 riots.
What up doe!
Kasey Tucker What up doe! Detroit in the house!
How about that Luke James!!! He sang his face off!!! Had Johnnie Gill real proud!!!
You and those Migos jokes.... had me laughing so loud.
But Joe Budden is too bothered by these young people.... he needs to cut it!!
Joe Budden is a cantankerous old man. These youngins gonna have to learn to ignore him.
Hey Rox. Did you see Karruche , Remy, and others almost bust they ass off the conveyor belt 😂😂😂
That belt gives everybody grief every year, lol.
Besides Bruno Mars, Xscape, New Edition set, this year was lack luster... idk...
The Stylist agreed 1000%
OMG! Rox! I live for your vids each week! But TODAY! you had me Rollin!!!! Thank YOU!
OMG! I thought the kids Jamie brought out were in an upcoming movie with him or something. lol
I think the issue with Bruno mars is even though he shows appreciation he never really shows up for us I could be wrong but this is the first real black awards show I've seen him perform on. The fact that your eager to perform our music at Super Bowl halftimes, the Grammys, Billboard awards and all those other awards shows but not make time (until now) for the bet/soul train awards show is probably why some black people cant accept the appreciation
Future's performance- Phantom of the traphouse in the key of lean! Shout out to Ashley Miller.
Ppl feel a way about Bruno doing R&B because he's not black I think. He is Hawaiian but his latest album is LIT
They should have ended the show with New Edition.
The saxophonist that came out with El Debarge name is Kamasi Washington.....if you like jazz, he is the TRUTH!!! ♥♥ New Edition was my favorite segment of the show as well, brought back memories like they always do. ♥♥
I will have to look him up....although horns aren't my favorite instrument to hear in jazz songs. I am a bass and piano kinda girl.
4itsrox Please do, I don't think you will be disappointed. Although, his songs run a bit long, lol, it's worth a listen. You can listen to "The Epic" here in CZcams. He played the horn in Kendrick Lamar' s "Alright". He's played for other well know artists as well. Okay, I'm done...😄
I love Bruno Mars. Had no idea people disliked him. Love Perm. I heard it on his album but even if I hadn't i would've liked it. Good review!
Rox! Hustle Man!! U got me cracking up at work 😂
chile Aunt Rox, Leslie does look hard.. (Hard as HAMMER).. And i agree.. She is not so bad but she does the extreme most..
Marcel Williams not a hammer. lmao. I am done
Marcel Williams I caaaaant....that waz brutal af
I felt the same way about Leslie's look. I just wanted it softer. Like Issa they softened her look as well
Whn u walked thru the imaginary beads...I hollered😂😂😂
New Edition!!!!! Yassss!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 my kind of music. Ronnie was looking like a Snack 🍫 I agree about Maxwell I don't know him no more either😂
hi rox, I always love your reviews.
You said what we were all thinking in regards to Leslie and her hair
I vote for YOU to be next year's host, Rox. At least, co-host.
Gurl you had me rolling on Snapchat, it was a good time😂
I’m currently binge watching your old videos. You look absolutely beautiful! 💋
Rox this has to be my favorite look of yours! Loved the review!
Just want to let you know you had me crying laughing on snap when that man came out with that saxophone. 😂😂😂
New Edition and Bruno Mars were my fave parts. I thought SZA sounded good too, my first time hearing her! I just love watching people who really love to sing and perform
