Sooooo, about that Babyface tribute.
Tevin Campbell looks OLD. I mean, the brown velvet jacket ain't help, and his vocals were twitchy, but DAYUM, his Black cracked all over the place.
Brandy moved well (in her flats) but what's with the Miley-crazy hair. Side note, the audio guys should have been fired for what they did to her AND Tevin.
Shum-one needsh to tell Fantashia how to pronounce the letter ESH. Side eye... I get the SHoop SHoop Whitney tribute (after all, SHHHHoop), but Superwoman? I saw Karyn White's video response (she had NO hate for Fanny, just confusion about the dis). Karyn looks GUUUUUUD. I don't know what supplements she's taking, but Tevin needs to get into it, because at FIFTY, Ms. White is fine as HAYL.
Why did they let Fanny's drunk cousin on stage to sing Tenderoni? Wait, that was Bobby Brown in that fake Coogi sweater, too tight pants with torn out knees and vintage Members Only jacket? Bruh, did you smoke ALL THE WEED before that performance? Ye Gods.
Boyz II Men sounded better than most, especially after Brown's ashtray-inspired performance, but there was something about them dropping the curtain on the stage to focus solely on them that threw me. I mean, they were cool, but not THAT cool.
Finally, the winner of the Pharrell Williams Probable R&B Vampire Award (maybe that's why Tevin looks like Renfield) goes to the man himself, Babyface Edmonds.
I don't know if he always just LOOKED older than he really was, but that dude ain't changed a BIT. He probably grabbed that suit out of his wardrobe closet from The Deele. He sounded good too.
Arguably more consistent than any of the other acts (Brandy was a close second except for the faulty sound check), Edmonds worked it out, even as his Solid Platinum background dancers twirled in unfortunate leftover outfits from Battlestar Galactica On Ice.
