Rihanna….gotta love her, although she’s going to be criticized for leaving her hair wrapped awards…..I don’t thin she cares. Her hard work is surely paying off and may GOD continue to bless her and her team.
A night of GREAT performances. Top ones: Ariane- beautiful voice; JLo- SHE DID THAT!; One Direction- cuties w great voices and of course JT never
disappoints. And that moment with Rihanna and her mom- tear jerker it’s a beautiful thing when you can make your parents proud! !
