    Lil Mama knows better that to pull that mess twice.

    She might get hurt this time, considering how *****ed Jay Z was at the VMA’s. LOL

    1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals---Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud's concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    Hi NIKKI!

    Lol @ Jay-Z. Lil Mamma jumped onstage and he asked her “What–are you T-Painin’ now?”

    Lol!!!!!!!!

    I'm Just Me: KEEPING IT REAL SINCE 1983...PEOPLE SAY HATE WAY TOO MUCH AND REALLY ARE USING IT IN THE WRONG SENSE!!!

    FIRST OF ALL

    IN THAT PEACOAT AND HAT JAY-Z LOOKS JUST LIKE MY 59 YEAR OLD DAD. SMDH Either dad is trying to be hip or Jay Z is dressing like an old man.

    Imma need those people to shut up. Like watching those old skool boot leg vidoes with people talking throughout the movie and standing up blocking the view…

    NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    HEY 1Tru!!

    Lil’ Mama needs to come out with a song on that Successful beat and apology. I can see myself watching America’s Best Dance Crew and her jumpin’ on stage bussin’ a move.

    It would have been real cool of them to take the whole situation in stride and let that girl do a cameo for the video…they are so lame

    @ Truth

    Hey I am trying to figure out if maybe Dad is the one in the wrong, but judging from the other posts….sad to say Jay is in the wrong.

    You know i love you like a play cuz, Truth.

    %#&?!!

    lol if lil mama showed up and did her impromptu again! i would watch the video then.

    %#&?!!

    it would have shown some cl***** if they had lil mama in the vid w/ them. oh well. we know jay aint got no cl***** and a-keys dont have no pull. she just along for the ride bc jay tapped her shoulder for the colabo.

    btw, not a jay fan but that is a stunning smile he has in the pic a-keys. he actually looks happy for once.

    Jay and Alicia: Woman beater and Homewrecker great match.

    BLACK IS GLAMOUR

    LMAO@BOSSIP….JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL YALL ARE INSANE.

    I think what LIL MAMA did was cute and if I were her and was there I probably would have felt the spirit as well and by not thinkin jumped on stage too.

    I honestly thought that it was part of the performance, because I was thinkin “hey she is from NY” and hell this is the VMAS…they always doin somthing spontaneous on that show. I love that song and I was feelin it too…like damn I wanna be in NY righ now..then seen Jay look as if he didnt mind so I was thinkin oh ok..until I seen that he completely ignored her at the end of the performance. lol….

    What JAY AND ALICIA could have done to make a negative situation POSITIVE was grabb and pull other fans on stage as well to REP NY because first off it was dope as hell to have the VMAS in NY, but also majority of the ppl there im pretty sure where from NY as well..and plus that would have made them as CELEBS seem more grounded and humble. but naw…there celebs so they must continue to rep the “Im untouchable s*****” smh…..but anyways cant wait for the VIDEO.

    The Bear

    They really should have let lil mama be in the video. But hey I’m not buying/watching it so I really don’t care.

    ?????

    what is the point of the video
    the song is played out longtime ago .

    BLACK IS GLAMOUR

    @Mock Rock star…exactly!!

    sweetga

    not impressed by the song. I wish that these people would p***** the mike on and stop holding on and blocking others from coming in. The song vocally is not impressive Ms. keyes is doing alot of hollering and yelling and off key(no pun intended) seriously. allow others to come forth and express there artistry instead of just 10% of the game. It is saddening but next. And can’t *****ody do it like the REAL SOUTHERN MUSIC SCENE

    Nick In ATL

    That A-Keys is one bad bytch. Str8 NY swagger! And what was all the noise in the back ground? Were fans attending the rehearsal? Can’t blame them amped at this song- hearing her on the track still gives me goose bumps!

    Seriously....

    *dies*@ the Charlie Brown comment

    *rolls my damn self to the morgue*@ lil mama being in the pics

    BOSSIP IS WHACK!

    Lil Man Man

    Jay the Real One

CUZ I KNOW HER WACK ***** IS READING THIS SHYT..GO WRITE A HIT SONG…U SPOILED THAT PERFORMANCE U LIL GHETTO RAT..AND U LOOKED LIKE SHYT…GO TO CHARM SCHOOL AND GET SOME CL*****, MAYBE…YOU’RE A JUDGE AND CRITIQUE PPL ON A SHOW BUT U DID THAT DUMB SHYT….U R HORRIBLE, LIKE GO MAKE A BANGIN ALBUM OR SUMMIN…AND FIND A HAIR AND CLOTHES STYLIST DAMMIT..U AND KANYE BROUGHT GHETTO TO THE VMA…A DAMN SHAME..U MUST BE FROM EAST NY THE HORRIBLE PART OF BK

    BKLYN!

    Toucan Sam and the w*****

    A KEYS is a w***** with NO CL***** …A TALENTED W*****..HER MOTHER IS AS WHITE AS A GHOST..DAMN MUTT She should get married and have a kid with this dude..then he leave her azz, I’d love to hear the tune she’d sing
    Mashonda is a pretty girl and no woman should do what Akeys did, she has the ability to stop f*N with this man out of respect for the wife…But what goes around..comes back the ***** around…
    We, as women, black and minority women should learn how to say no to these men and not help them with their adultery and trickery they commit against other women..O well thats another topic..but she is a MAN STEALING W*****, AND ***** ALL OF YALL THAT SAY ITS HIS FAULT AND BLAME THE MAN>>>IT WAS EASY FOR HIM< SO HE CONTINUED AT IT…THAT *****.

    scapegoat

    LIL MAMA OPENED UP THE FLOOD GATES SHE BETTA NOT PLAN ON PERFORMING SOON CAUSE FOLK GON B JUMPIN UP ON STAGE WITH HER…THEN THAT LIL COW WILL UNDERSTAND WHY U DON’T JUMP ON STAGE IF U R “PRO” COME ON THAT’S “STAGE ETIQUETTE 101!”

    Caroline

    Music is sooooo dead.
    The devil worshipper and the homewrecker. Lil Momma didn’t do anything compared to what these two are doing.

    J.Z is annoying and Alicia’s singing is so off keys.

    *****oliscious

    They should have just put lil mama in there along with other ny artists for a short scene to give the video some energy.

    bubbagus
