The 2008 Urban BMI Awards were handed out last night and Toccara Jones, Melanie Brown and Elise Neal, were just a few of the Brown Sistas on hand to show their support for the world of R n’ B music. Singer Keri Hilson performed for the crowd but it was Beyonce who walked away with the big award of the evening, winning Song of the Year honors for her hit single, Irreplaceable.
Other big winners of the night included T-Pain, Kanye West and singer Ne-Yo.
For a full list of all the winners and other exclusives you can check out the official BMI Website.
Update: Singer Janet Jackson was also on hand and presented her brothers with the Lifetime Achievement BMI Icon Award.

First to comment, YEEEY! What does Keri Hilson do besides singing hooks for Timbaland?
nia said,
Aren’t the BMI awards for songwriting? I thought Neyo wrote “Irreplaceable”. The controversy continues…
And look at Janet showin her legs! That’s rare for her. Lookin good girl! :)
Tonya said,
Janet looks fabulous!
*Please God let me look like that in my 40s.*
Stephanie said,
Yes it is Nia. Irreplaceable has four songwriters taking credit for it, including Beyonce.
Maglet said,
Everyone look marvelous! Especially, Janet. :) It amazes me how she bulks up, then goes back down over and over again.
Melanie Brown is beautiful, but I think her face looks old in some pictures. Maybe it’s just the lighting. Haven’t seen Elise Neal in a bit.

Lola said,
All the head shot ladies look great! Their hair and makeup is on point. I like Elise ’s dress and she looks good it it. SMH @ Vaness and Angela. They get a thumbs down from me.
Lola said,
Oh, Janet looks good too
Liyah said,
Everyone looks great. It is good to see Janet’s legs. @ Honey, Keri Hilson has written a lot of songs for different artists. That picture of Mel B is not flattering, she looks up in age.

Torya said,
Everyone looks good! That’s a bad pic of Mel B, but she beautiful none the less.
I thought Ne-Yo was the only songwriter for “Irreplaceable”??
Torya said,
Also, Jermaine and Michael know they could have showed up for this. They should be glad that people cared enough to honor them.

Congrats to The Jacksons. They`ll always be #1 in my book. How fitting that I`m listening to their “Destiny” album as I`m typing this post. An award that`s well deserved. Also kudos to Barry Gordy for giving them their start. I must also say that Janet is looking so beautiful and mellow. Luv, luv The Jacksons!!!!
MJ & The Jacksons foerver!!!!
