At Nelson Mandela’s birthday concert in NYC this past weekend, Cyndi Lauper and Lil’ Kim sang “Time After Time” together. We’re trying to figure out who came up with this idea.

Watch the video below and tell us what you think:

Check out the pics from the event below, we think this is the best Kim has looked in years!!!

    @DMY19151 Well, this is what happens when you go fixin what was never broke to begin with. Lil Kim was beautiful as she was, I wish she would have saw that herself.

    Kim is no singer we know this, but it wasn’t completely terrible.. I thought it was pretty cute when her and Cyndi started doing Kim’s “Lighters Up” over the beat.. I don’t know if I would have ever thought this smash up would happen but it was nice… and Kim does look beautiful, she cleans up nice when she’s not half naked lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tbone1971/ tbone1971

    um, its not that bad…..i think? I think she was doing the comedy bit and was she trying to emulate Cindy??

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rain7124/ rain7124

    she gave it what she had and it passed

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KDthaONE/ KDthaONE

    It was surely something different from lil Kim.

    But at least she had the courage not to use the infamous AUTOTUNE!

    What good can Kanye, Weezy, T-Pain, sound without it?

    DAMN LIL KIM, I NEED TO MEET YO DOPEMAN! THATS GOTTA BE SUM GOOD SHYT YOU SMOKIN!

    I was actually looking for an opportunity to rip her. But I can’t front, she pulled it off. Credit, where credit is due. and Kim did not look tri-flin….she looked like a lady. go figure.

    I like how they combined both their songs together lol and I’ve heard worse, her voice is just a lil rugged but she could get better.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/I_want_dat_kiss_kiss/ I_want_dat_kiss_kiss

    I agree, she did fine…leave her alone.

    Could have been worse. Not the best but not the worst I’ve heard. She did aight. It’s kinda hot. Needs a lil tweeking.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kellie_18/ kellie_18

    SHE SOUNDED A MESS her voice was virbattin she just need to stick to rap she cant sing at all im sorry lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nljg/ nljg

    I think she did a good job considering the fact that she is not a singer and never claimed to be….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ENEECHEZ/ ENEECHEZ

    Yes we all can tell she was scared, probably her first time “Singing” in front of A LOT of people. But overall da queen B!@*$ did her thing. Ya’ll hoe’s stop hating.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Babyfaced3/ Babyfaced3

    She’s not a singer and it’s clear she’s nervous singing because she’s out of her element. But with some vocal training she might be able to do a little something. I think she did ok its not easy to put yourself out there like that. Hell Cyndi was struggling and we know she can sing….LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/theoster1/ theoster1

    lol shy was shy

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tastyasme/ tastyasme

    A MESS!!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GhettoIndia02/ GhettoIndia02

    I think it was hot..Lil Kim could of gotten into it a little more though

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jus-2_chill/ jus-2_chill

    you know what, i never liked lil kim. i mean, i always thought she was a fine looking woman, but separating church from state, HipHop should have never let the ghetto,hoodrat,b***h image filter its way into the culture. (like we needed that s**t). not saying lil kim is like that, thats just the image that the powers that be decided to create using her. ill bet lil kim is a sweetheart of a woman in real life. although i didnt think she did well with singing with cindy, she looks better to me that way. the problem was, lil kim had’nt understood that this particular song does’nt require that much to sing it. it’s a simple song. but if she get some lessons she’ll be really good. but it’s time for some new talent anyway why are they still holding on to all these people like they are the only ones who do what they do? i admire her courage to go through with it and because of that she gets big props from me.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Meeshi_Babi/ Meeshi_Babi

    Listening to it without judgement as to whether or not I like Lil Kim…she sounds more nervous than anything else..her voice is not that bad…but it was really really shaky…still she should either take some classes or stick rapping.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GoinabilityINC/ GoinabilityINC

    You banged the nail on the head Jus 2 Chill. Most of these recording artists are creative nerds and sweethearts who get caught up i the game of being something they’re not for the sake of making a living. If they really knew what they would have to do to make it, most of them would’ve preferred to stay broke than put up with Industry politics. Once the first rap music video was aired on T.V. it was the beginning of the eventual end. It’s been unfolding in front of our eyes since way back then. Some got to enjoy the ride, most didn’t.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/applecandie26/ applecandie26

    i believe this was a really awsome performanc out of kim, i love her

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BabyGyrl810/ BabyGyrl810

    well i am one of the biggest lil kim fan! SO!! On a real tip…knowing lil kim’s musical history…she didnt fail, becus honey gyrl knows she cant sing! but the thing of it is that she tries to give her best at whatever she does!!so im feeling this…so f**k the haters….its a lot of ppl who is the game who shouldnt be…atleast she lept hipHop…instead of turning hipHop into hip POP!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/the12nv42k2/ the12nv42k2

    She didn’t sound that bad, she got somewhat of a voice, auto tune that and she might have a career.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rydemyface/ rydemyface

    Kim actually surprised me. Shes no Mariah Carey or Beyonce but she carried that tune well in my opinion.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzyblu412/ jazzyblu412

    They were both shakey at first…..but they came through about mid-way…their both good at what they do. Maybe their voices just needed to warm up.

    y does black planet always have to be negative about celebs when they report something??? its not that serious really and very childish. as you see most people like the duet as well as i so i suggest you rephrase how you let out your stories black planet

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LOVEHURTSDEEP/ LOVEHURTSDEEP

    Are you F****** kiddin’ me. Lil’ Kim seriously needs to stick w/ rappin’. Not even hating, but some have the gift….you can’t try & create a good voice. Nerves?? Na, she’ll sound like that always.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SMOOCH31/ SMOOCH31

    Im wit BeBrEezy32!! Blackplaint is very neg about they own kind. She did not sound bad to me, her voice was wit the song itself, plus hervoice wen alongv wit Cyndi Lauper voicewhich has sound like that since I was alil gurl, I f**kin luv Cyndi Lauper and hervoicehas alwaysbeen thatway!! Lil Kim’s voice is going Tic4Tac withers, Smooch

    she just sounds very nervous

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rainmaker4u20/ rainmaker4u20

    lil kim was a little nervous at first but I think her voice was in tune with Cyndi Lauper and they pulled it off. Y do we always look for the negative in everything? The tribute was from the heart! Very conservative dress kim, was nice to see the real you, beautiful!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Mr_Left/ Mr_Left

    hey….on the for real side, aint nothin wrong wit that performance. Lim kim aint no singer…..but she carried her note and tune well. the way you guys put it, i expected MUCH worse. Stop hating. Props to lil kim.

    she did a nice jab.. naffin wrong with it atall… well, i realise blackplanet needed a new frontpage new.. try something else.. she did just fine. i love her.

    Lil Kim needs to stick to rapping…..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/frankiemoore1/ frankiemoore1

    hello blackplanet, i had a hearing test yesterday and passed with flying colors ,lil Kim accepted the challenge, stood up to the plate, and did a wonderful job.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mwmike4314/ mwmike4314

    Lil Kim did just fine and I give her a lot of credit from coming out of her comfort zone she could of easily threw a rap piece together but she didn’t she has a lot of courage. I liked it very much.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/just2hot4u/ just2hot4u

    Lil’ K. did well…..I want 2 remind that not many performers can sing live as good as they sound on the records… Sean Paul sucks live just like Des’ree and Mariah Carey….Why don’t u take a try !!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kingsolomon24/ kingsolomon24

    She did great. I didn’t see any thing wrong with her performance, she’s a rapper and if she can sing like that whoa! she should be doing more singing.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/S-1060/ S-1060

    I think she did a great Job…..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/freelancepimp/ freelancepimp

    Most of you chickens on here are full of it. LIl Kim sounds horrible and the standard has been lowered just so you can relate and harbor dreams in the back of your head that one day you could be “stars” too. No one even listen to real singers anymore. I bet she wouldn’t go in front of Simon Cowell with that crap.
    Oh and Cindy sounds horrible too!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/The_Donlamb/ The_Donlamb

    That wasn’t so bad, being that she was out of her element. I’ve seen those who cliam to be r&b or pop do a lot worse. c’mon ligten up!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bonsante2/ bonsante2

    AS USUAL THIS ONE PASSED RIGHT OVER HELLO BEAUTIFUL’S HEAD. TIME AFTER TIME IS A BALLAD PLAYED FREQUENTLY ON ADULT CONTEMPORARY RADIO. I AM GLAD THAT HELLO BEUTIFUL DIDN’T GROW UP IN MY ERA WHERE WE LISTENED TO AND ENJOYED ALL GENRES OF MUSIC INDUSTRY MAINLY BECAUSE WE HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE THE “BLACK” MUSIC WAS PLAYED ON SUCH LOW RADIO FREQUENCY AND LOW RADIO PLAYING TIME. HELLO BEAUTIFUL IS A LONG TIME HATER OF LIL KIM THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX. HELLO BEAUTIFUL IS NOT SATISFIED UNLESS SHE REMAINS THAT NASTY LIL RAPPER GIRL BUT HELLO BEAUTIFUL HAS TO REALIZE THAT PEOPLE GROW UP AND MATURE AND I AM GLAD THAT SHE WAS DRESSED THE WAY THAT SHE WAS AND PERFORMED THE WAY THAT SHE DID. IT WAS A BALLAD OKAY AND IT WAS NICELY DONE. OH I FORGOT, HELLO BEAUTIFUL IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH A BALLAD.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rbubby/ rbubby

    It past my test,plus you got to know whos doingit and you want have to feel you was let down,she could have left that last part out though

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JazsDad/ JazsDad

    This “young woman” has proved that you can come back from adversity. Yes, we do grow up. We do look back on things and sometimes we get a second chance. How many of us can say that we have lived spotless lives? Not many. Ok, not any. If this is considered an “epic fail”, I surely would like to see what the author of that statement would consider progress in their own lives…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Mocha_4_ur_Latte/ Mocha_4_ur_Latte

    I think she was a bit nervous in the beginning but didn’t do horribly. I personally don’t think she is terrific anyway but this wasn’t a failure; she was a little shaky but so was Cyndi. Like I said it wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t the best performance for either woman.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PRIVATELUVAFFAIR/ PRIVATELUVAFFAIR

    Y DON’T PEOPLE JUST LEAVE LIL KIM ALONE AND LET HER HAVE HER MOMENT?IT WASN’T TO BAD CONSIDERING WHAT THE OCCASION WAS AND I AM SURE MR. MANDELA LIKE IT. AT LEAST SHE GAVE IT A TRY, SO GIVE HER PROPS FOR THAT? I AGREE SHE DID LOOK REALLY NICE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2Paclookinmofo/ 2Paclookinmofo

    Its all good…She was pretty bad,especially when Miss Lauper spit the lyrics to her own sh!t betta than she did, but I give it to her for going outside the box. I mean Ciara sounds just as bad live…ha

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/silkilove/ silkilove

    I think Lil’ Kim looked very nice and she sounded nice.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/yellowpumas/ yellowpumas

    She did fine

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/OG100/ OG100

    COMPARED TO A LOT OF OTHER SO CALLED SINGER THESE DAYS, SHE DID FINE. NOT TO MENTION, HER AND CYNDI ARE LOOKING GOOD. STOP THE HATING!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missstrings43/ missstrings43

    As you attempt to change your image, your vocals go through a specific type of change. Lil Kim is a rapper. She often uses her vocals to speak loudly. The bridge between a singer and a rapper is definitely quite different. I respect her for the level of respect that she showed during this ceremony. It is quite obvious . Look at the dress attire, her makeup and her posture….it is all quite elegant from the old Lil’ Kim. Kudos Kim! It was time for a change and I am proud of her step UP!!! Do your thang girlfriend!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missstrings43/ missstrings43

    This was I must add a great way to get back into the game. To go on stage with another woman with stature in the entertainment industry. (who happens to be a white woman)…definitely puts her in another league now. Smart Lil’ Kim. Very very smart move.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/speakinlife/ speakinlife

    Kim was great point blank

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missstrings43/ missstrings43

    ahhh hell! And one more thing….black woman need to stop pulling each other down and be proud of the ones that know when the well is running dry but/ and smart enough to know where and how to go out there and get the help and recognition to build your temple back up again. Kudos Kimmy!
    ok – ok , I’m though!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SINNAMOANPROD/ SINNAMOANPROD

    Really! Yall need to stop hating! I think she was nervous. She sounds fine, just needs more exposure. She sounds better thn ms Lauper to me! go head big mama!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SINNAMOANPROD/ SINNAMOANPROD

    now she needs to use her full name and get in the studio or get voice lessons to control her treble, but over all she looks great sounds fine and as usual she will be successful because she is willing to take risks! Once again GO BIG MAMA!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/saxxychic24/ saxxychic24

    meh…mediocre.
    she should get lessons if she plans to do this full time. but it could have been much worse. she has potential, but i really get bothered when celebrities try to sing or act before they are ready (aka singers acting and actors singing). hone your craft first.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KINGKWELI/ KINGKWELI

    That was truly amazing.
    Wow they both sound like they were trying so hard to sing time after time. I dont think lil kim should be singing she should be showing me how she can put a whole can of coke in her mouth. I have my can ready kim….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/craig-g1/ craig-g1

    i liked the way they sang the song .it was a little shaky but i still enjoyed them together.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/wynwyn2005/ wynwyn2005

    Well, if she hadn’t been paired with Cyndi Lauper maybe we wouldn’t have noticed HOW bad she was. Cyndi definitley out shined Lil’ Kim.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/darqueknight1/ darqueknight1

    She actually did well overall, but it’s clear she was in Cindy’s “ballpark” and tried to sing too much like Cindy. But Kim did well for someone not used to singing someone else’s style. It wasn’t as bad as we were led to believe.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/clove2020/ clove2020

    I think some of the best art is not perfect and that’s what makes it good. I liked their performance. Maybe the media is looking for everything to be so perfect. I am sure Mandela

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/animall26/ animall26

    man, its lill kim. she rap she don’t sing, but for what its worth is did a great job for someone stepping out of their element. Cindy might haved sounded better but it is her song and its not like she was singing with “B”! all n all kim did good in my opinion and with the rite training she could do great.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SunofAusar/ SunofAusar

    With all the comments about how well the non singer sounded, it doesn’t surprise me at all that real singers get no respect in the industry anymore. SMH

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jahz_Lynx/ Jahz_Lynx

    What we’re hearing is Kim’s nervousness.
    When the heart races, the heart beats reverberates through the neck and vocal chords. In this style of singing it’s better to be wrong and strong rather than right and uptight. She should have just cracked a few strong notes and she would have been on target to have a good time with the song….there’s always autotune.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/msmayaz/ msmayaz

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blkpuddn/ blkpuddn

    I THINK THE PERFORMANCE WAS VERY NICE! AN PERFORMING LIVE IS NEVER EASY, ESPECIALLY WHEN U HAVE TO DO A DUET..U HAVE TO BLEND UR SOUND WITH THEIRS. WHAT I DNT UNDERSTAND IS WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE PPL ARE HATING ON LIL KIM SO MUCH NOW THAT SHE’S STRAIGHTENED UP HER ACT & SHE’S NOT SINGING RAUNCHY RAP LYRICS…? IM PROUD OF HER FOR THE FACT THAT SHE’S COME A LONG WAY & HAS DECIDED TO BE A REAL “LADY”…NOT A HOOD RAT! KEEP DOING YA THANG KIM & FK THE HATERS!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blkpuddn/ blkpuddn

    I THOUGHT THE COLLABORATION WAS VERY NICE! IT’S NEVER EASY TO PERFORM LIVE…LET ALONE PERFORMING WITH SOMEONE ELSE. WHY IS SINCE LIL KIM HAS CLEAN HER ACT UP & DOING POSITIVE THINGS OTHER THAN RAUNCHY RAP, PPL WANNA HATE ON HER.? IT’S GOOD TO SEE HER ACTING LIKE A REAL LADY & NOT A HOOD RAT!!! KEEP DOING YA THANG KIM!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/shortypipe/ shortypipe

    I loved the combo. First Cyndi Laper is one of is an amazing vocalist singers. Lets just get that out. Next i think Lil Kim did an excellent job to nervous and who wouldnt be Cyndi Laper is one of the greats. But i dont think she would have had Lil Kim sing the song if she didnt think she could sing. I hope they make a recording of it minus the nerves :-) Good job lil Kim.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MoRHOwa/ MoRHOwa

    Lil Kim did a decent job. As a rapper, she outperformed a lot of these “marketable singers” that constantly destroy their live performances. Let’s not name names… starts with Uh, ends with Shawn T *ahem* starts with Carry, ends with Hill Sun *cough*

    Rasheet stop the rubbish. How can Kim sound better than Cyndi. Jessssssssssss girl r u ok. Thats how Cind always sound. Cyndi was kicking it rapping too. Trust me Cindi can rock it. Kim did a good job too.

    By the way you-all should check out the Reggae Buss-MJ tribute video on youtube. A combination tribute complementing Jamaican artist/music/culture/Micheal Jackson!

    Was anyone listening to this at all. She sounds TERRIBLE!Maybe she should start her comeback album, because singing isn’t her fortay. We need a female MC back anyways, the men are taking over!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/YOURNAWTEEGIRL/ YOURNAWTEEGIRL

    WHOEVER GAVE KIM THAT MIC NEEDS TO BE SLAPPED
    I CAN’T BELIEVE SO MANY OF YALL THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD
    NO WONDER MUSIC IS SUCKING NOWADAYS…PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHAT GOOD SINGING IS ANYMORE

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LoveSexy52/ LoveSexy52

    I think they both sound ok, it was 4 a good cause and it was not the best but u could enjoy it. Lil Kim look really nice for a change. Lil Kim is just better at rappin. U go girl 4 trying!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Brandyfan322/ Brandyfan322

    Okay Cindi was fine. She sounded like she always sounded…

    BUT WHAT THE EFF KINDA SOUND WAS COMING FROM LIL KIM’S MOUTH?! UGH I WANTED TO STAB MYSELF IN THE EARS BY THE END OF THIS!

    Lil Kim…stick to rapping dear! Dont ever sing in ur life again.

    see what rich people do wit there money ,and all of these hungry people ,thats messed up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PRTYBRN/ PRTYBRN

    Truth is she didn’t sound horrible, she did sound nervous or very breathy (new word, LOL). It wasn’t as bad I thought it was going to be.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/datredgurlKeari/ datredgurlKeari

    lol kim didn’t sound that bad really. stop hatin ALL DAY…and she looks great. she finally found her plastic surgery medium. i hope she sticks to this look…i think she sounded better than cyndi on some parts

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/thedamntruth69/ thedamntruth69

    THEY BOTH SOUND THE SAME TO ME! LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/darkchocolate1974/ darkchocolate1974

    To be honest with you I like both Cyndi Lauper & Lil Kim. However, I’m not sure what happened to Lil Kim this time around.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TishaTish/ TishaTish

    r u serious?!?! that was a joke. lmao!!! i know that is not a very lucrative business for female mc’s. but please…everyone can’t be Queen Latifah and start singing too. that was TERRIBLE no ifs, ands, buts about it. however i think that if that song was professionally recorded with a little digital help it would sound really great. I love how they mixed the 2 songs together.

    All things considered she could have done a lot worse. I for one enjoyed the duet and am amazed that she did as well as she did. Thumbs up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cherrylexis/ cherrylexis

    I kinda liked it! she hit that “I will be waiting!” and Cyndi was getting it her Damn self! so I figure it was fun something different Im not going to hate on her for that interesting performance.

    The F**k?!?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Peninsulachick/ Peninsulachick

    I have to say that Kim came across like one being SCHOOLED! Cyndi Lauper didn’t need her up there, and even did a better job on Kim’s song than KIM!!! The same thing needs to happen to Beyonce; a REAL, true artist needs to put her on a stage before a global audience, sing a REAL song without all of the studio/electronic help, and show her that a TRUE artist sounds GREAT and performs excellently under ANY circ**stance! SMH..Hope Kim never tries this again..Lesson to all the no-talent performers out there today…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/charlie358olay/ charlie358olay

    She sounded a lot better than I thought she would!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/simplyred517/ simplyred517

    Kim should listen to Diddy: train and run to strengthen the voice. She sounded like she smokes like forty goin north. Cyndi could have done the song without her messing it up. And who said that was the best we have seen Kim in years? Pleez she looked like f**ked up black barbie sitting there who cant sang cracking and wheezing Kim rerally messed the song up

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Tylese/ Tylese

    WOW I MEAN DANG. THEY SHOULD THREW IN A FEW LICK MY WHAT WHAT AND KIM WOULD OF FELT RIGHT AT HOME. STILL LOVE YA KIM STICK TO UR THANG THANG.GO GIRL!

    that was just a hot ghetto mess 2 collaborations that should never happened. Lauper its time to retire the voice and Kim needs to stick to sex cause her rap game is awful too.who told her she could sing in the first place?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/EricaKane2/ EricaKane2

    Okay, so kim can’t sing “so what” she’s having fun and living life! she’s tryin alittle bit of everything to see exactly what she’s good at…. it’s not a epic fail. She’s successfull in one of the hardest industries, she’s a successfull rap artist and that’s a great achievement being a female! Hands up to Kim! nobody can step on kims toes!!!She Gits it regardless!

    lil kim is not a singer….why in the HELL would they let her on the stage at Nelson Madela’s birthday concert? damn shame

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jouvert/ Jouvert

    A true collaboration.. they actually sound good together until they start freestylin at the end..Prolly will never see this duo again..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Luv2prettyblack/ Luv2prettyblack

    I actually liked it…Lil Kim was a little shaky at the beginning, prolly just nerves cause she’s not a singer. But after she caught her groove….they rocked it. I’ve always liked that song. And it’s good to hear it re’vamped with a lil hip-hop twist. They should brush it up, practice it a little more and record it as a single…..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/silvert122/ silvert122

    That lil Kim still fiiine tho. I would bang her ol day. Kimberly, come c daddy.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xX_Audaciouz_Xx/ xX_Audaciouz_Xx

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Saintjamesufc1/ Saintjamesufc1

    OMG!!! this is kinda comical but she has an ok base. she needs some serious work if she is gon seriously try this. but its not all bad. its only half bad. but she still look good tho, i would bang cyndi lauper anyday hahaha put your lighters up. just kidding go kim.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CarmelDelyte4u/ CarmelDelyte4u

    I wasn’t totally horrified…it was better than Keri Hilson on the BET awards lmao…a little training Kim might have a lil something goin on.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SweetOneKCMO/ SweetOneKCMO

    Cyndi Lauper is my girl but i think kim is doing more breathing than singing she should stay in the rap game also i like the old kim look her old nose cheeks and lips she was fine the way she was but anyway if she wanna do this she needs alot of work on her voice so she can do it by herself and not hide behind another singers style and voice……….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TRANSEXUALity510/ TRANSEXUALity510

    She looks hot and I feel that if she gets some work on her voice she might e the next best thing! I admire Bravery and she sure had that to get up in front of all those people and sing when that’s not something she is used to. Gotta lover her tho. She’s always outside of the box! Go Kim!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Nita_d_DIVA/ Nita_d_DIVA

    a mess indeed.. cindy snapped on her “lighters up” verse.. lol and yes it was much better than SCARY HILSON’S tribute to Elvis at the 09 BET AWARDS. lololololololo now that was a FAIL for yo ass!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Poetic_Assasin/ Poetic_Assasin

    The one thing i have always liked about kim is that she pays homage to stars that have come before her, regardless of genre. she is the only rapper to date to have done a song with Grace Jones, whom i adored growing up as a very small child in the early 80′s. Who knew Cyndi’s 60-something year-old behind would kill a verse in “lighters up” like she did though?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/crunkblue/ crunkblue

    i think it was hot i mean its a shocker to see both of them do something that there not use too and do a somewhat of a great job and pretty much pull it off hats off to both of them

    Singing is not for them

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/choosingwordswisely/ choosingwordswisely

    Maybe she’d have sounded better if she wasn’t so obviously nervous. That carries all through her voice, she was a wreck, and understandably so since she isn’t known for her singing. But like others said, she at least got up there and tried.
