Ok, where do we start the clownin'? Is it on Otis' stupid speech, Melvin's widow or DR jr's jacket and his sad need to be the center of attention at all times? I will say that I loved Paul jr, loved the applause EJK got and Melvin's son ended it all on a funny, bright note. Temptations forever.

Thanks for posting this Duchess.
I'm glad the kids all got to share in some of the honor.

Ok, where do we start the clownin'? Is it on Otis' stupid speech, Melvin's widow or DR jr's jacket and his sad need to be the center of attention at all times? I will say that I loved Paul jr, loved the applause EJK got and Melvin's son ended it all on a funny, bright note. Temptations forever. LMAO! Let's start with O's speech....LOL! I'm like 'okaaaay'. Next! Melvin's widow: The future is so damn bright, I gotta wear shades! What's up that wig?? That jacket: Hmmmm. The scarf didn't help either. I didn't understand what all that damn showboating was about. Despite what the wanna be widow states, David Sr. didn't act that way when the Tempts were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. David Sr. did ramble a bit, LOL, but he was quite humble. Thank God Cheryl and Kim made it up by keeping it short and sweet. I hope Nedra is alright. Sandra looked good too. Is it me or she hasn't changed? Paul jr: Very humble and very proud. He struck me as down to earth. I sensed he was also sad. EJK: Aika is very pretty. I wish she had spoken more. Too bad she felt cold. LOL. I wonder where is Eddie's mother? Nicos: When you mentioned Melvin's son, I thought you were talking about the one who passed. My memory maybe faulty but wasn't Melvin Jr. (David English, jr) murdered in Detroit? This must be another son. If I remember, Melvin had 6 children, right? Anyway, he's a cutey and very humble as well. He seems like a nice guy. I think it was sad in general that Paul, David, Eddie and Melvin weren't there to bask in the glory. They worked very hard to make that group what it is today. Often imitated but never can be duplicated. Temptations forever! |

I am not sure where to start... oh I know who made David JR the emcee for the tempts?  The guy acts like he was part of the group. ;D. O has a heart. I guess old age can change anyone.. he gave shout outs to his band brothers (DR, Paul, EKJ, and Blue) how nice. I will know if he had made peace with all that lying when I watch EJK unsung.. Moving on... Blue's wife who is playing a joke? Was that really Blue's wife or Blue's son wife? She look very young.. With that said, Congratulations to the Tempts!!! |

I enjoyed the footage as well. Like I said in the other thread...a couple of those speeches made me laff out loud.
Are yall talking about the lady with the loooon red hair...Mel's wife? I thought I heard them say his cousin. I'll watch again.
Common...the son that was murdered was Jr. Remember Nedra spoke at his funeral...*cough* cough*
Aika looked good...reminds me of her dad a lot. I don't think she was cold...maybe a little shy...but she did well.
Don't get me started on Dennis...he makes me want to get my memory checked. ;D
Kim snatched that award out of Jr's hand too. ;D ;D

In reference to clownin' on Mel's widow, she did say her "late husband" during her speech so she must have been married to Melvin at some point. Anyway, in reference to her, I was gonna clown because of 1) The wig, 2) Her crazy eyeballs, and 3) Because she looks so young. Mel died in '95, right? Damn, how old was she then, 19, 20? Digger please! Her and her Ronald McDonald wig need to go sit down somewhere ...along with the person who hollered when she hit the stage. I know Mel died some years ago but, damn, have some respect and at least pretend you're sad that your "husband" was not there to accept his award. She was cheesin' and sashayin' on that stage like she was a Temptation. The Temptations were grown-ass men, not no "boy band"...and I'm through with that biznitch! On to the next.... Otis, , wtf was he talking about?! Who cares if you're looking to buy a home and what the hell did that have to do with anything. Haven't you learned anything, Otis? Stay in the background and STFU!!! Glad to see that him and Shelly are still happily married though lol. P.S. only slaves go that long without a contract...stupid Poor Cheryl, she looked so terrified...she was making me nervous lol. And the grandson who got up there does look like DR...looks just like that pic of DR as a kid on the "I Am My Brother's Keeper" LP. I'm not gonna give DR jr anymore attention but I will just say that his "Wow. Trust me, trust me!" comment in reference to raising DR's kids was inappropriate and so Genna-ish. I used to kinda feel sorry for him 'cause look at his mama, but he's hella grown now and needs to get over it, move on and make a life & name for himself. His weirdo pointing & excessive hand gesturing was getting on my nerves as well. And when he tried to start some shit by mentioning the different Temptation factions...total bitch move. Ok, check him off the list. On to the next.... Dennis, , his wife since he left the group? Hasn't Dennis been married like 6 times. I feel you, Bees. Dennis had me scratching my head lol. Aika, I'm thinking she was nervous so I'll give her a pass for looking like she wanted to be anywhere else but on that stage, and for her incessant eye rolling. She has a long head just like her daddy though lol. And I wonder what she was saying to Paul Jr to make him laugh back there. Paul Jr. and Nicos, loved them. But how funny would it have been if Nicos got up there and had a voice like Mike Tyson. Everybody was waiting with bated breath to hear him speak, to see if it sounded all crazy deep like his daddy, and it would've been really funny--to me anyway--if he had a girlie voice lol. Alright, that was my 2 cents. Sorry you had to wait so long but a sistah had to attend a funeral in Florida last week. |

Alright, that was my 2 cents. Sorry you had to wait so long but a sistah had to attend a funeral in Florida last week. First off, my symapthies to you. Glad you got back from Florida in one piece. Second, you didn't even go for the jugglar. You went straight for the head and took it clean off!! LMAO!  I can't stop laughing at your post but it's the truth! I could only look it at once because, like you said, between Melvin's wife and Jr.'s clownin, it looked like it was turning into a damn ministrel show. Yeah, that is Melvin's wife and I recall O took her to court because she allowed Glenn Leonard or Richard Street, to use the Temptations' name (apparently Melvin's rights went to her when he died or something like that). Long story short, they must've kissed and made up. I, too, thought the boy band reference was stupid but once she opened her mouth, I didn't expect too much. O will be a slave for life with his partner, Shelly. They deserve each other. I know Shelly's arse will be on Eddie's 'Unsung', probably talking about Eddie's 'faults' just like he did David. Always got something negative to say but I guess you can't expect much from someone who failed as an actor and got 'hooked up' as a manager for a Black singing group. Wasn't he lucky that he got a lifetime job?? |

Come to think of it, Duchess, you are right. Kim's son does look alot like DR when he was a kid. When I was looking at him, he did have a familiar look to him. Amazing!

LOL @ Brandy.
Ruffan: Pardon my bad manners. Thank you for the information. I sure wish Mrs. Kendrick was alive to see her son finally get the acknowledgment he deserved.

Eddie's mom died last year? Wow, at least she lived a looong life, RIP.
Hello, Common, have we met before? LOL. Of course I'm cuttin' heads off! That's what I do LOL.
LOL @ Brandy, Otis did have a lot of shit on.
I think I know why Aika was rolling her eyes so much...seems like there's a lil animosity & daddy issues going on in her head judging from her comments and demeanor during her daddy's Unsung interviews. Hmmmmm
