omG 1st?….no? close enough

1st!

1st

First!
I hope this video is better than his last one

Gabby looks fab but is that a tear in the blue dress?
Everybody looks nice.

Top 10!!!

I love Nicole’s dress.

what’s really hood with Lynn? her face looks weird. Nicole’s dress looks damn crazy…Dwayne and Star……ew. Gabby looks fab per usual & Ursh needs to come wit it cause I’m not feelin him like that anymore…just my thoughts

& wow I really was 1st!! I’d like to thank Jesus….my Mom…..ets

Oh, well, 2nd. Nicole Murphy (or whatever her last name is) is a looks nice. Lynn Whitfield looks like she’s seen better days, lol. Is it just me or do D-Wade’s eyes look a little weird, like they’re yellow or something?

I’m not feeling Gabbi’s first look and I like Lynn Whitfield’s first look. And uhhhh no comment on Michael and Nicole….none at all

its funny how ushers wife looks nothing like his video chicks. sex sells peeps LOL.

im glad gabby tried to redeem herself on that second try cause that first outfit was not hitting.

I thinks it’s cause his wife looks like she should be his mom…nobody wants to have a haggish video chick I’m jus say’n

Oh Gabby, some people just try too hard…try, try again…

lynne is still gorgeous but she looks a tad bit bloated (still better than most her age and half half of her age) i just wish that she would had worn a dress that better suited her body

On one of the photos of Usher you can tell he kept it at a distance. Clearly, Maneka was on the set. LOL

I think everyone looks really nice, especially Eddie’s ex- if I had 5 children I would look like Star Jones BEFORE the operation!

Is Ms. Lynn prego? something just doesn’t look right in the mid section of those 2 dresses. Or has she really gotten that thick?
Also no tear in Gabby’s dress. That’s just the hole where her tie around belt goes thru. If you don’t smooth the belt out then it causes the material to gap and look like a hole. Never the less, I hate the dress.

I heard “Moving Mountains” in October…BANGER!! People will be playing this song out all summer…”Its like moooooving moouuuuntaaaaains..like moooooving mooooountaaaains”..lol.. great song

Why does Usher’s vid remind me of Carl Thomas’ “Emotional” video? Interesting…

Gabby looks good, Usher vid looks interesting cant wait to hear the song lol!!!!!!

I don’t know bout everyone else, but I certainly am tired of seeing white looking girls (i don’t care is the chick is biracial, she looks white, thank you!) playing the lead in these videos. It sucks, big time. You’re tellin me the artist doesn’t have a say in who the girl will be for their videos? or the image they are portraying to young people? I hardly watch TV at all, and this is just one of the many reasons why. Constant inundation of white supremecy. I hate Gabby’s blue dress in the first pic. I just feel she has been slacking in the style department. Too damn casual, take it up a notch! D-Wade is lookin real lonely these days. When will black ball players learn to just stay with their wives and treat em’ right? Maybe Star can talk some sense into him…then again maybe not. Lynn knows that dress is all wrong. And the sad part is the dress has major potential to look great on the right body. Spanx are what you need Lynn, i mean damn, save us the torture. Oh well, looking forward to the rest.

I heard that! LOL!

Lynn looks absolutely beautiful for 55!!!

I wonder why he married a dark skin woman but tends to have light-skin spanish/indian looking woman in his videos. I could be mistaken, but that is what it looks like to me.

Okay is ANYONE gonna comment on this Will Demp guy?!? Dayum!!!

Yes Willie is SEXY as all hell isn’t he? SWOOOOON!

Gabby doesn’t look cute in the derby outfit

Thank you! That man is scrumptious. Is it terrible that I don’t completely hate Nicole’s dress?? Gabby’s second dress redeemed her because that first one….no. D. Wade looked dapper, everyone else =( I mean I respect Lynn..but her outfits were NOT the business.

Natasha, PLEASE ban that first, second and third ish from your fifteen year old readers! Just a waste of space! lol
Anyway, Dwayne Wade looks sexy. So does Will, even though I’m not into pretty boys. Is the model in Usher’s new video that Dani model/wig maker?

Natasha, PLEASE ban that first, second and third ish from your fifteen year-old readers!!! Just a waste of space!!!! lol
Anyway, Dwayne Wade is looking succulent. Will Demps looks good as well, even though I’m not particularly into pretty boys.
The model in Usher’s video looks that Dani girl who appears in random videos and also has a wig line.

Girl you crack me up…lol.

IT WAS WORSE THAN THE PURPLE PREACHER ‘FIT!!!

Nah, that look like a whole in Gabby’s dress. The belt is way under the whole. Either way, it looks tacky. I’m not feeling either of her looks. The black
Will Demps looks handsome.
Even though I think Nicole has really strong features I’m happy Michael is with a black woman now. They always look happy together. And Nicole’s body is on point.
Michael Jordan sexy self was there, where are his pictures?
It’s too soon for a new video Usher.

Nicole’s body is fabulous, but her face, well, that’s another story. I always thought she was just weird looking.

I’m I the only person who noticed the hole in Gabby’s dress (that doesn’t negate how fab she looks though)?

Woo Lawd D-Wad and that Seersucker combination you’re rocking!!! TASTY

Damn.. Looking at Will Demp and Dwayne Wade in the same post..All I can say is WOW like Flavor Flav! WOW! Those are some sexy, gorgeous brothas!

Oh, yes, ma’am..I noticed the lil hole, gap or whatever too…

Will Demps was the best thing about this post…yummy!!!

Will Demps looks like a mixed Johnny Bravo to me..with his square chin and stuff. I dont find him as that attractive.

yow the video girl is beautiful, why is she in videos

I’ve seen that video girl in a couple of hair magazines…i knew she looked familiar..

He’s more than attractive . Trust! Square chin and all!. He just photographs hard. His chin’s really not super hero square in person.

What in the 1992, blue, chiffon, hell is Nicole Murphy wearing? No ma’am. Gabby’s second outfit is really cute. Love the jacket and the smirk.

Lynn looked great in the first dress; very appropriate for the Derby. Smokey and his wife too. Lynn’s 2nd dress…not so much.

Gabby’s dress was a bit too plain- like something you might wear to brunch, and I don’t like the teal/black combination.

I’m surprised Star wasn’t there.

Nicole and Mike’s ensembles…

Yea, I’m wondering if Tameka was tripping over this video.

Maybe because she is a model? Models do videos too you know…even Naomi…

I feel you! He doesn’t do it for me either. He’s a handsome guy, without question, but something about his look is delicate and soft. I’m sure he’s not soft, but something about his look says that to me…Damn I think it might be because he resembles my best friend (a girl)! lol

He’s dressed very nicely though; quite dapper.

what the hell happened tp gabrielle union’s career?

Gabby looks a little skinny but Lynn looks good.

what the hell happened tp gabrielle union’s career?

Looks like the same thing that happened to alot of Black women’s acting careers…There’s been a drought with Black movies lately, other than Tyler Perry’s movies and what not…And Hollywood overall is still racist.

Black women in music videos who are noticeably black, will always have a hard time in music videos due to factors;

1. The music industry is selling a product, and the majority of consumers out there are white teenagers. And they want to see themselves, thus feel a connection to the product. So, in order for little white teeny boppers to buy the product, they have to have a close to white model in the video, to draw their attention, and so the urban singer will appear less urban. Usher is more main stream by having this model.

2. We can raise these issues with mainstream media, but what about the media which solely targets us as a group. For example, in many rap songs, there is always reference to a woman’s complexion. Ice Cube reference to, a big Yella with stelletos, or Too Short lyrics, or to the many rap videos in which the girls are always a certain complexion with a certain hair type. Even JonB, mentioned that he was told only to have light complexion in his videos , however in real life, his ex-wife and his current wife are dark complexioned.

Why are black entertainers more likely to have a nonblack woman or a bi-racial black woman as a lead or in their videos than black women who are entertainers? Could it be that black male entertainers are more open minded and honest about their attractiveness to nonblack women, than black women? Are black women more concerned about what others will think about them? Eve has dated white men , but when was the last time a white male was her love interest in her video?

The answer to the question or to the statement why is it that bi-racial women are only used for videos? The answer is simple, the artist is selling their product to mainstream audience which is prodominantly white girls, and just like all teenage girls, they want to fantasize about being with certain singers, and if the female lead looks closer to you, and the women in your environment, than you will subconsciously buy the product being sold, believing that it reflects you. I.E. Usher has a girl who looks white in his video, he thinks white women are pretty, I’ll go buy his CD, and believe in the fantasy, that I can have Usher, because Usher is attracted to my type.

The same with JonB, back in the day, Jon had said that when he first came out, the record company only had light complexion women in his videos, but in reality his ex-wife and current wife are dark complexion black women.

Santana does not use alot of black women in his videos but his music talks about african women, and his ex-wife is biracial. During interviews, the man will clearly talk about his affinity for black women.

Rappers, well rappers grow up in an area where it is still considered top notch or whatever to have a lighter complexion woman on his arm, a staple of success, I guess. My Jewish psychology teacher said, a black man will date a light complexion woman because, it’s his way of dating a white woman.

Will Demps is so sexy!!! They should make more men like that…LOL

I think I am the only one who thinks this, but I have to say it anyway: MICHAEL STRAHAN IS SEXY AS ALL HELL!

Also, that video girl is the same girl (I think) that was in that Diddy and Keyshia Cole video and also does some hair weave modeling. Pick up a Black hair magazine and she’s everywhere, lol.

Wish Usher had a girl the same skin color as HIS WIFE in his video. Gabby did a good job on Ugly Better she just needs a study gig. Lynn Whitfield looks good, but she can tighten up a bit. I am mad that her career didn’t take off since her OUTSTANDING role in the Josephine Baker movie. Man! I need to get that on DVD when I think about it.

Will Demps & D. Wade are fine as ever.

I love the derby style… everyone looks so ’southern belle & beau’.

It’s a hole. I see skin.

Tameka can’t hate on Ush…and that boob job joke was hilarious. Michael girl looks like a reverse bobble head..big body and a little pea head…:( weird

dang do u see nicoles body after 5 kids! i am jealous…
gabriel gets on my nerves but she is an attractive lady. looks like a hole in her dress in the first pic
will demps is beyond words…ummm yummy
lynn in that second dress is a no no..too young for her

Gabby needs to rethink her outfit. Her head looks really big in the hat.

In person she is a lot softer looking. Same thing with Jada. They don’t photograph well but in person they are both very pretty.

Hey Tasha.. Smokey & His Wife Look So Much Alike Because They Both Go To The Same Plastic SURGEON!!! LMAO !!

nicole is stunnin she doesnt have your averge face and her body’s perfection 4 5 kids…..as for tameka and usher it doesnt matter whos in his vid’s, she’s in his bed, and every nite, dark chocolate skin and all! ms. whitfield does look bloted..smokey and his wife look lovely..gabby looks better in 2nd pic….and mr. demps is a cutie pie, in a square way!

Will Demps is HOT!
i hope Ushers video is good!
i see that video girl everywhere on mags,ect…

Everybody else looks good.
[♥]

Oh YBF….I need a close up on Will Demps.

please && thank you

[♥]

YUCK- did anyone notice Michael Strahan’s pinky in the next to the last pick with him and Nicole. It looks like it may have fallen off and was re-attached. Will Demps is so queer!

I dont know what it is about Usher but something is just off about him this time around. I love the up in the club joint but mmh he just lost something.

Eddie’s ex kind of scares me!

Alright about time I see some charity out of our ridiculously rich folk can’t leave it all up to Angelina Jolie.

I will…….HE’S HOT!! I don’t like light skinned dudes but DAYUUM!!

Once again the rap community proves they are the REAL BLACK MEN in America. ALL the ignut bill cosby could do is show up to criticize others while Jay Z shows real love and caring by putting up money for them. God bless you Jay. The real black men in america, our rap community, will go down in the anals of history as caretakers of their people, and the rest will be exposed for the selfish fools they are.

i love nicoles dress damn, i know eddie is mad as hell, as for usher i liked his 1rst video and i belive this one will be good too. as far as tameka after his wonderful family loving comment in this months essence i think she will be ok

If I’m not mistaken, Lynn was a surrogate mother for her sister. And not to long ago either. The woman is a terrific actress and she looks great. I think the negative comments about her are totally uncalled for. Respect your elders young folk and aim to imitate them. Lynn, class personafied. You have never seen her business in the tabloids. Everyone else looks fabulous!

Gabby needs to take notes from Lynn and Frances on how to match a fab hat with your outfit!!

Something about Nicole is off to me in her face. Michael has some big hands! I like that in him! lol For some reason, I’m over Usher. Glad Jay Z realizes actions speak louder than words! Proud of that move he’s making! Hopfully, some other rappers will follow suit in other examples!

Does anyone else find it strange that Nicole has been with 2 men that have rumors of bisexuality/homosexuality surrounding them?

Thank You! What’s up Nicole? Aren’t Michael S. and Dr. Ian Smith an item?

THANK YOU!!! That is the most important thing about this post.

Lynne Whitfield is mid 50s and just carried twins for her sister and still looks better than your average woman of any age. She is a gorgeous, mature woman period!

Adrian Grenier is fine.

Can Usher please put a black woman in his video. I don’t have nothing against Light skinned/mixed women but damn can some actual brown skinned women get some video play instead these mixed or light skinned ones. It just looks like black men don’t value brown skinned or darker skinned women.

Will Demps NEEDS to be my baby daddy.. NOW!

it is just a retarded thing if she throws a “pissy” fit! she should be secure with her husband! Usher has clearly proven that he loves her and cares for her a lot so i really think she has nothing to worry about. but i would question the fact that he has never had her in any of his videos yet and when he was with chilli she was in like 2 or 3 videos! lol! but that is just something to think about!

Damn GABBY IS STILL CHASING D-WADE AND MICHEAL JORDAN .Is she still classified as a CELEBRITY?

I am so not looking forward to this boring ass Usher video…It just looks so uninteresting
Michael and Nicole are scary…she’s a pretty man no wonder Eddie and Mike passed that around

Lynn looks good and is shitting on half the women in attendance…
I hate that they feel the need to wear those ugly ass hats.

Gabby looks great at the after party but her derby pics are bland…still wondering why y’all posted so many of them

And willie Demps looks good as hell

D-Wade has just been looking off to me since those groupie rumors…

Eddie’s ex looks like an alien…Usher is so emotional and sensitive nowadays which is good, but I miss his dancing.

-Nicole is hard on the eyes in the face. She looks like she was pretty @ one time, but had a hard life.
-Lynn Whitfield needs to lay off the Godiva chocolates or buy some bigger clothes. One or the other.

props to Jay Z!!!

@ Why do Smokey Robinson and his wife Frances look like twins in the face?

You know people say that when you’ve been married a while you start to look alike
