Special character Lady Gaga and Lil Miss “I’m a badgirl rebel” Rihanna both performed at the American Music Awards last night in some ‘interesting’ costumes. Lady Gaga definitely gets first prize for her unique and eclectic weirdo steez.

More pics when you…

  • Mrs. Rance

    I’m so sorry I missed RiRi. I dozed off and for some reason the Lord decided to wake me up during the tragic JLo performance.

  • Fashionized Diva

    i liked Rih’s performance… after her i changed it and was done for the night

  • WHo Cares?

    1st

  • chaka1

    Rhi was awful. No stage presence. Terrible voice. The guy I was sitting next to was going on about how she needs to go into acting because her singing days are numbered.

  • KayB33

    Hmmm… I dont really have much to say about Lady GaGa’s performance. She has talent but she freaks me out. I’m blinded by her weird antics. I do appreciate her her for her innovation and being a breath of fresh air for the music industry; however, a person can go overboard. I love RiRi. True she definitely doesn’t have a big explosive voice compared to others, but I love her music. I loved all of GGGB and I love all of Rated R. To sum it all up… I’d say Lady GaGa had one of the best performances of the night and so did RiRi and of course Whitney; however, performances such as that of Adam Lambert shows me how award shows have gone to sh*t. How the hell did Taylor Swift get artist of the year over Michael Jackson? Chick has a heck of a fanbase or she has that sympathy vote. If that’s the case she should’ve thanked Kanye!

  • mez

    Rihanna was great.. I just love evrthing about her. I like her accent, I like her swagga and I think she will continue to grow as an artiste.

    Lady gaga is just a GIMMICK ….her songs are so not good

  • KayB33

    On second thought, as I look at Lady GaGa’s pic again… What the hell is she wearing? Are those supposed to be ribs? She looks like a reject from Alien vs. Predator! Love her though!

  • http://Bossip Lou

    Rihanna please go away.You have no talent

  • LadyInBlack

    I think they both did great, Rihanna doesnt have the best LIVE voice but atleast she did do it LIVE vs lip singing.
    She look good and did a great job. Lady Gaga is INTERESTINGLY AWESOME. Shes unqiue crazy bold and fearless at the same time and + the girl is crazy talented. I loooove that about her. I hope she gets better in time.

    NOOOOOW THAT LAST PERFORMANCE WITH THAT ADAM DUDE WAS THE CRAZIEST PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER SEEN. They should not have shown that.

  • nikki

    i love love love lady gaga as for riri, sh needs to go hide somewhere cuz i will never forgive her for that pathetic performance

  • LadyInBlack

    @KayB33 she needs to THANK KANYE WEST. Basically the white folks think they owe her some sympathy card for the BS stunt at the MTV awards. Nobody hardly even knew who chick was until KANYE decided to make her a superstar.

  • http://bossip.com jjj

    Rihanna did good…. and looked GREAT!
    I’m gonna get her album this week.

  • AFREDA

    REAL WOMEN THAT CAN SING: BEYONCE, ALICIA KEYS, CARRIE UNDERWOOD, BRANDY, MONICA, JENNIFER HUDSON, M. FIONA AND THE LIST GOES ON,BUT DO NOT INCLUDE RIHANNA, I REPEAT, THE LIST DOES NOT INCLUDE RIHANNA!!!

  • Peanut

    It’s so sad Ri fans want her to sound good so bad.

  • jellybeansheen

    i’m glad yall finally see that rihanna has 0 talent!… that girl is beautiful but r u really gonna buy her album to listen to her autotuned not quite right voice?! i’ll save my $$ and spend it on GAGA!… What a terrible prelude to an album release… GOD doesnt like ugly Rih Rih, maybe u shoulda thought about ur lack of talent b4 u shat on CB. Oh well *kanye shrug*

  • Trixxie

    Lady gaga is crazy

  • chaka1

    Mary J and Kelly Clarkson had the best singing performances. Lady GaGa was sensational. Whitney was wonderful.

    I couldn’t stand the rap performances. They sound horrible live.

  • chaka1

    Oh wait…Let me the first. “You people talking about Rihanna are just HATERS! She is more beautiful and has more money that you! Wa wa wa wa…”

  • Anon

    Rihanna’s got a nice shape.

    Lady Gaga looks super weird as usual.

  • Anon

    Let’s just admit, Rihanna is not talented in the vocal department, but her music is still hotter than 90% of the stuff out there.

    What is it they say?? “Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.”

  • Sonia

    @ LayInblack
    Just because u and your entourage didn’t know her doesn’t mean she wasn’t famous and successful

  • crawbup

    I loved RIHANNA’s performance! Her album i s HOTTTT

  • Metric

    Gaga and her weirdness lol Rihanna sounds good, gonna get her album today.

  • GTFOH with the DUMB

    HOW IN THE H3LL CAN YOU BE SERIOUS WHEN SAYING THAT SHE DOESN’T HAVE THE BEST VOICE BUT…BUT THE H3LL WHAT?!!!

    THAT’S WHAT SHE’S SUPPOSE TO DO FOR A LIVING….SING. SHE SOUND LIKE FROZEN **** ON A STICK CRACKING. SOME OF YOU PEOPLE WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING…TSK TSK.

  • ummm

    Rhi’s performance was ok but needs improving.

    Lady GaGa is over the top boring

    Poor JLo busted her azz..but don’t worry sweetie, beyonce tumble down the stairs is still #1 LOL.

  • bobbi

    rihanna was good and ga ga was, too. i saw jlo fall and was quite pleased with that. alicia keys sounded like a wounded animal (as usual) and janet was ok. didn’t understand why the camel did not accept beyonce’s award. he’s so ugly. other than that…zzzzzzzzzzz

  • http://...c.l.a.s.s.i.c....thatis Born

    Riannah’s singing ability is atrocious. I am not even trying to be cruel, she cannot sing, it was like a caterwaul, a yowl. I had to turn her off, really. She is pretty and kinda stylish, but she needs to stop singing.

  • http://...c.l.a.s.s.i.c....thatis Born

    Wherever..that is.

  • FREE REMY MA!!

    RHIANNA GOT MAD SWAG!! KEEP DOIN YO THANG RHI!! F*CK THE HATERS!!

  • bored

    Rihanna being cute and so called stylish has nothing to do with the fact she cant sing or entertain!!! What is wrong with people, so you mean cause she’s cute she gets a pass in her field? No!

  • Rihanna’s point witchy finger to the oath and my ass got BANNED from bossip

    wack

  • TRU_TO_ALL

    LADY GAGA LOOKS DISGUSTING, HAS NO TALENT AND LOOKS LIKE SHE SMELLS LIKE FISH AND RIHANNA HAS NO TALENT AND LOOKS LIKE AN ALIEN.

  • ke ke

    @smartee
    Lady gaga is extremly talented and can sing and dance very well.she has a very classic voice which makes her able to sing pop and ballads. Her image right now might be a little gimicky, but at least she owns it. Unlike rhianna, who seems very much like a gimmick and its very obvious. Sometime I feel like Jay-z and whoever else manages her, is pimping her out in a sense. After last nights performance, I think so even more. I feel like more money is spent on her image and them force feeding us her music than she makes. I mean for as much popularity she has, has she ever headlined a major tour? I don’t really see her as being relevent.

  • Scoobie…also known as Scoobiesnax

    If you don’t think that Rihanna’s voice is appeal are you really a hater, or do you just have a different expectation of vocal talent than others?

  • Aunt Viv

    Both Gaga and Rihanna are gimmicks. Gaga sounds better live than Ri-Ri though.

    I feel bad for Jennifer Lopez. Sometimes we should just accept that our chart-topping days are over and leave while we’re ahead. Her performance last night seemed so…desperate. She’s the consummate professional though for not letting that fall rattle her too much.

  • Scoobie…also known as Scoobiesnax

    *appealing

  • PUTITOUTTHERE

    Who cares! girls cover up a little and leave something to the imagination. Gosh!

  • uptowngirl

    And I hope that stupid neck tattoo on Rihanna is fake.

  • Jo-An

    Rihanna sounded horrible, she’s overated..As for lady GaGa she’s a nut..what was all that about breaking all this glass, she freaked me out. I loved Whitney Houston but she can’t make those high notes anymore. Jennifer Lopez stick to acting that outfit was horrible and you need to tone those legs and do some squats. I will always love Ms. Jackson as usual she can’t do no wrong….

  • a black man

    i understand why people from other nations call americans are considerd dumb you people tend to follow and care about small things like skin colour,hair instead of better things and if you people dont see that something is odd with rihanna and gaga then you people are REALLY STUPID cause they are clearly putting out subliminal message out there with there clothes and behaviour should i say Devil worshiping?

  • Poohna

    What was Janet wearing last night – why was the pants part soooo baggy? Rhi’s stage outfit was interesting to say the least..and GaGa is just GaGa…lol

  • DAYWALKER( MR INTENSITY!!!!)

    Lady GaGA killed it, J-Lo died, and we all know how well Rihanna does at live performances…..

  • Blackgurl

    @ a black man

    I dont know about devil worshiping but their clothes and behavior is disgusting.

  • Man, I just don’t care™

    ♥’d Rihanna’s outfit.

  • T-T

    Lady Ga Ga is weird but she has more talent in her left pinky than Rihanna has in her whole body. She writes and composes her own music, can perform, can sing, plays the piano like a pro, and owns her art and weirdness. I was sleeping on her until I saw some of her raw live acoustic performances on youtube.

  • a black man

    Blackgurl@ very disgusting

  • Choc

    Lady GaGa at least kept my attention. I think she has a decent voice and put some thought into her act. I’m saying this and I’m not really a fan of hers. Janet and JLo’s performances were amatuerish for 2 women who have been in the industry as long as they have. Their lackluster stage presence has nothing to do with age. Madonna is older than both of them and like it or not Madonna gives 110%. They both phoned their performances in. And to Janet please stop doing a medley of your old songs. “Control” has to be about 20 years old.

    Excuse me. I E-threw up on my keyboard.

  • stx

    @scoobie, I don’t think you’re a hater if you don’t like a persons music. You get into hater territory, however, when you get mean and vicious,and tear the person down, on a daily basis, just to simply say what they are doing is not your cup of tea.

  • me

    Poor Rihanna…….CAN’T SING/MUST USE HER BODY…..BUT don’t try to copy off of Lady Gaga…..IT’S NOT WORKING FOR U

  • stx

    Rihanna sounded good for the songs she was singing. What else should she have done with it. She’s not going to work and gyrate on stage, so it is what it is.

  • JISICAN3

    I tried to miss the Rihanna part of the AMA’s by going to Chris Browns’ concert in VA. Still managed to catch the horrible performance. The girl can’t sing and she sure can’t dance. She is good at picking a song with a good hook. To hook the simple minded. No talent and no account not even so nice to look at anymore. It is unfortunate what took place between Chris Brown and Rihanna and I hope they don’t think about getting back together, it was apparent at his concert that he still has feelings for her and she stated she still loves him but they are at their best apart.

  • http://bossip Truth Teller

    Rihanna ain’t got no business claiming to be a singer because she is baaaaaaaaaad!Not only can’t she sing,she can’t dance,she is too stiff!

  • http://Bossip cammy

    Did anyone notice when Ga Ga was performing the camera was on Jay-Z lol. When they put the camera on Ga Ga in the audience she looked sad as a……. Rihanna performance was kinda of stupid to me. Why did she spin around on that thing AWKWARD it seemed out of place. Everyone else did a good job then you have Rihanna halfas performance.

  • Ian

    I really like Rihanna, unfortunately missed the show, but will definitely buy her new CD…..Y’all haters who dont like her just have no taste, or you just jealous as hell. I also like Lady Gaga, interesting, always surprising and can actually sing…

  • B3 Fearless

    I’m glad most ppl on here are talking with some sense when they are calling a spade a spade by sayin Rihanna sounded a mess last night! She looked great, loved the outfit and whoever’s idea it was to add the lights on her outfit to add a little something to her performance kudos to them but it couldn’t help because all she could do was walk across the stage and sing off key, but at least her strut was on point. But I agree with some one earlier who said they were embarrassed for her last night. I was too! Both her and Adam because all the other shows were so good when they opened their mouths to sing it was like both of them were clearly out of the league. You can’t compare Rihanna to Lady Gaga because LG can actually sing, writes her own stuff and plays instruments. She is an actual artist. Yes she is using a gimmick to get noticed but she has the talent to back it up. What is Rihanna going to do when she’s not cute anymore?

  • Angee

    MJB and Whitney were my favorites!!

  • GODS ARMY

    F**K THE O.T.O and the illuminiti…they got yall all confused..DONT BE NIEVE PEOPLE…see this music for what it really is!!! LADY GAGA IS A NEPHILUM!!!!(OLD ONE) read people

  • Moreaces

    Both RiRi and GaGa were mpt all that, But as far as showmenship, I guess GaGa won it..

  • A Real Black Man

    damn, where is the cakes shots of riri….give a damn if she can sing or not, lol

  • bluekid

    No Comment! Hi Leslie :)

  • Dajournalist

    They are feeding us the same bish over and over again, in different varieties.

    I’m not buying the whole whorish, bad girl nonsense. I’m not embracing the bullsh1t or passing it on..

  • http://www.talenttrove.com Talent Network

    that is some amazing talent. glad you impress a lot of new people

  • Moreaces

    Mrs. Rance

    I’m so sorry I missed RiRi. I dozed off and for some reason the Lord decided to wake me up during the tragic JLo performance.

    ===============
    Yep, JLo’s days have come and gone, She use to be the ish back in the day, but now, she is just so so

  • seriously?

    rhi rhi has to fall back on all the profanity and vulgarity. the album is cool but no way would i let my tween daughter/niece/sister or whatever listen to it, and that age bracket a nice portion of her fan base

  • Moreaces

    ummm

    Rhi’s performance was ok but needs improving.

    Lady GaGa is over the top boring

    Poor JLo busted her azz..but don’t worry sweetie, beyonce tumble down the stairs is still #1 LOL
    ================
    Although Jlo’s performance left a lot to be desired,, she did pull of the fall pretty well, It could have been worse.

  • Leslie

    Hey bluekid…

    I missed it, and based on most comments I see I didn’t miss much. But if she was that bad, I most certainly need to see it.

  • Destroy all Cars Made by Saturn

    LOL @ anyone who believe Rhianna was remotely good. This little girl needs to go away. She is a joke to the singing industry. How can anyone possibly say that she is a singer?

    There are too many people out there with real voices. Why wasn’t Ledisi up there performing? One note from Ledisi’s voice would slap the s*it out of Rhianna. The music industry is becoming more of a joke because the award shows are geared towards popularity — not talent.

  • OkTheVictimIshGettingTired

    Rihanna was bad; if she’d work on her “art” like she works on her fashion, then I might give her a play. She was bad. Surprised at JLo . . .Whitney just beautiful; Mary the most skin I’ve ever seen her show.

    RIHANNA is tired; she loved being on stage, but delivered not a darn thing.

  • Sharie

    Rihanna = COMPLETE WACKNESS!!!! LOL. Lady Ga-Ga rocked last night….

  • Damn Shame

    Ok, just cought the perfomance on youtube. I honestly had to cut it off. HORRIBLE to say the least. She has no emotion in her voice, but then again, she has no voice.

  • pinky tuscadero

    Lady Gaga is “marketing 101″… stay in the public’s eye, and be as different/mysterious and controversial as hell…. no real talent necessary! Grace Jones and Madonna did it too, but they made good music!!!

  • http://www.myspace.com/mscreative101 MsCreative1

    Chris Musta beat the talent out of RiRi, her performance was not good!

  • http:chokolatemilk.blogspot.com Choco

    I think it’s funny that people really think she can sing because it is obvious she can not-Rihanna sound like a sick cat about to earl when she starts singing…

  • http://perryone779@yahoo,com rose by any other name #9304026339482056536 ™

    I didnt like lady gaga’s performance i thought it was a little over the top and crazy~ Any body can act crazy but Whitney was great!

  • http://perryone779@yahoo,com rose by any other name #9304026339482056536 ™

    @choco.. I cant see where this lady gaga is so great , she cant sing , her act was comical more than great, come on breaking glass bottles.. she needs to go on the road with the new three stooges with that da** act!

  • SMDH

    everyone perform great
    i am quite sure that none of you
    guys can do half of ri ri does…
    all you m*therf*cker do on this site
    is put people down , some of you need to check yourself before you check some else
    i think everyone did great at the AMA

  • Adrienne K

    Rhianna was okay and could have done better, still love her though. Ummm Lady GaGa, I just do not know what to say. She can sing and has talent, her weirdness overshadows that for me. Hubby thought her performance was great, but I could not get into it. I guess I am in the minority as far as she goes. Poor Jlo busted that rear end and Whitney Houston made me cry! Mary J was good too.

  • Adrienne K

    Oh and I would think Jay would have accepted Beyonce’s award for her…what’s up with that??

  • BOSSIP IS WHACK!

    That wolf b*tch named Rihanna sounded a flipping mess last night. Just dreadful. That crazy b*tch Gaga, now that one has talent.

  • michelle

    The only people who suppOrt Riri are people who have no idea what talent is if it were to slap them in the face. Or her own folks from the Island. THATS IT!!

  • Britt

    LOVE Lady G and loved the performance last night!! Brilliant Ms. Gaga…can’t wait to see her in concert in January! I would like the old Rihanna back. I love her, but there is just no way she can compete w/ Gaga. Be your own person Riri!

  • reka_baby(BEAT FLORIDA LIZARDS! GO BAMA! ROLL TIDE!)

    Rihanna looks like Lee-Loo from Fifth Element

  • NYC Gal

    Ri Ri wasn’t as bad as JLo and Janet. JLo fell down and Janet didn’t have the Rhythm Nation. I think Ri Ri was just nervous because of all the drama she been through.

  • http:chokolatemilk.blogspot.com Choco

    @Rose
    Okay I see I will be post jumping to catch up with you-I like lady gaga cuz she is different and her songs are catchy sorry boo I remember you said you like RiRi…oh well different stroke for different folks….

  • http://perryone779@yahoo,com rose by any other name #9304026339482056536 ™

    @choco,, oh i thought you didnt like lady gaga, but i like rhi rhi better than her but like you said each to their own.. to me lady gags is comical!!

  • Niasia

    Lady G is the best!!! Ri Ri..please go hide under a rock!

  • WhatAWorld

    Rihanna CAN NOT SING,Stop over using the word hater.Point Blank!!!She should have had someone singing backstage and that BS “rockstar” pose at the end was garb,like she blew the roof off the mf!Just because she’s stylish and attractive doesn’t mean that she can magically sing,D.a.m.n,lol!Lady Gaga was weird so I turned,Whitney didn’t sound as good as she’s known to sound but she looked good,Jay(thank god he didnt do that corny arm-fold and what’s with the glasses Jigga,damn it was pitch black can you see,dumbass.Alicia(I can’t believe that I thought she could sing)Terrible!Adam Lambert=21st century Boy George.But Mary and Kelly were astounding!

  • LoriE

    I hope to God that’s not a real tattoo.

  • stx

    Leave the girl alone, this was her first big night in America since the incident, maybe her nerves got the best of her. She was not all that bad, just a little timid.

  • Caramel Carter

    Rihanna tryna swagger jack lady gaga she fake and wanna act hard after she got her butt whooped

  • Elana

    RI RI AND JLO WERE HORRIBLE. JLO NEEDS TO STICK TO ACTING, AND RI RI NEEDS TO PURSUE A CAREER IN MODELING. RI RI HAS NO CLASS, AND SHE DEFINITELY
    CANNOT SING. SHE WAS OUT OF HER LEAGUE LAST NIGHT.
    AT LEAST, LADY GA GA CAN SING. GIVE IT UP RI RI !!!

  • RiRiSuks

    give riri a break? that is how she makes money singing. to be a professional you have to always be on… no matter what the situation. she just proved that she can not sing without technology… sad

  • NYC Gal

    I think Ri Ri had so much pressure on her that it probably got the best of her. I think she will look at this performance and improve.

  • RiRiSuks

    stop making excuses for her…. if she is in the business and make that money then she should give 100% every time…. there are no excuses..

  • ch

    You know why y’all hating?Straight truth is that most of these entertainers cannot sing so you have no cred when you single out Rihanna.She’s doing her thing as a performer like everyone else.
    The only real talented singers are people like Whitney and Mariah.Mary J does not have that same ability but she’s a great singer also.So keep it real in here.

  • K-mia

    Lady Gaga was amazing, and she sang effortlessly!! Rihanna looked like she was rehearsing, there was no feeling in her performance…i didnt expect her to sound good, but she usually has more emotion on stage, she looked kinda stiff and unsure up there….love that song she did though. She should take a note form Janet and Jlo by lip synching so that she can bust some moves on stage, and not look totally lifeless

  • hatefakepeople

    free masonry (at its best)
    don’t support these celebs and their devil worshipping

  • neisha

    lol i swear jus needs to model and drop singing…shes is so dead and boring on stage and she cant sing!!

  • ik ben hier

    rihanna looks fierce!!!! in the beginin i thought it was too much but its actually fab!

  • ik ben hier

    rihanna is a product- perhaps thats a bit of a prob

  • White Women Rule

    Well darling, little miss “oh I’m such bad girl” seems to really be putting it out there. Too bad it’s not real talent. I had to mute the sound during her performance…horrid at best. On the other hand, the unusual creature known as Lady Gaga was quite enthralling and delivered a visually stunning performance. Something that the young R&B artists today sorely lack; creativity. Oh boo-hoo for those of you who disagree, Not one single R&B artist pushes the envelope of creativity anymore. They simple get pretty and sing or grab their crotches. Both dull and boring.

  • http:/yahoo.com say it aint so

    SINCE RIRI CAN’T SING ARE PERFORM THERE SURE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DON’T LIKE RIRI COMMENTING THATS JUST DUCKY BECAUSE YOU DEE RIRI CAN’T SING TO YOU AND YOU ARE DUMMYS FOR COMMENTING ON SOME ONE THAT YOU DON’T LIKE AND YO COMMENT ARE GOING RIGHT WITH ALL OF THE OTHER CRAP STRAIGHT DOWN THE TOLIET STOOL. NONE OF YOU CAN MAKE OR BREAK RIHANNA, AND NONE OF YOU HAVE A HEAVEN OR A HELL TO PUT HER IN AND THANK GOODNESS THAT RIRI DON’T DEPEND ON NONE OF YOU THATS BAD MOUTHING HER FOR SUPPORT AT LEAST RIRI IS NOT ON WELFAre with 4 chilkdren looking at her and all waiting together for them once a month food stamps. keep the comments coming its a beautiful thing ..

  • Carmen

  • Rihannadefender

  • Amtul

  • Amtul

    she’s got swag but what does that have to do with her voice or raw talent, let’s face it she sells records based on her look, that’s not real music she just needs to model and or be a dancehall dancer
