All that booty-shaking was a little too much for Wyclef to handle at last night's Grammy performance.
The former Fugee couldn't keep his hands off of himself during the erotic performance -- grabbing his package every chance he could.
As 'Clef and Shakira belted out their hit, "Hips Don't Lie," Wyclef adjusted his junk at least eight times on live television.
Richard Simmons would be so proud!

4. Doesn't look like he has much to grab.
Who really wants to watch that ugly fool do that anyway? She is way too hot to be on the same stage as him.

7. Wyclef isn't diseased....crotch grabbing for african american men is an ugly, learned response that is supposed to reinforce that they are anatomically gifted. I doubt Wyclef or Chris Brown who did it like 50x are diseased, they are simply acting on a dumb impulse. given the fact that they wear their pants so low it looks even more ridiculous. Its silly for us to think that all these people have diseases etc...

8. I think he is TRYING to make himself look bigger, to no avail.
If he only he knew that size doesn't matter.

9. Either way, it looked tacky. It is possible to be sexy without looking nasty. Also, Wyclef is very unattractive.

10. I wonder what "clef " decided to do in his dressing room after the set.
Shakira, "Te Amo".
Peace.

11. A little education lesson for you all: STOP making this into a racial case. Listen to yourselves crotch grabbing an "african american learned response". Come on, please! How about its a "entertainer's learned response"
You don't see people (african americans, and others) walking down the street and grabbing their crotch, but you do see entertainers doing that. I do see young people grabbing their crotch to keep their pants up if they are sagging and by the way alot of young people (white, black, asian, and latino) sag these days.

12. Another overrated performance by two "superstars". It was gross to watch Wyclef hump Shakira at the World Cup performance. The lyrics of this song are the worst and Shakira sounds like a strangled goat. Yes she does great belly dance (but there are better) and both do great humanitarian work. But who cares how hot she is? Not even Rick Rubin could help Oral Fixation 2. They had to add on a remake of Wyclef's song "Dance Like That" from Havana Nights for God's sake! People please- I thought Crazy was the best perfomance by Gnarles Barkley. I am glad that Julieta Venengas won best Latin Pop album and that the piece of crap record that Shakira made was not even nominated!

13. Digusting PIG BEHAVIOR from so-called artist.
KID'S TURN AWAY. THIS IS NOT A GOOD ROLE MODEL. One dances like a hooker on crack while the other grabs himself to re-assert that he has something to remind himself that he is still a man. PATHETIC!

14. typical black man thing "we gotta check our things cause the white man done taken everything else"---that was the standard response back in the 70's when it became "fashionable" for uneducated black men to do this. A sign of open disrespect and double daring others to correct them. That it still carries on, when opportunities abound for blacks now that did not in the 70's kind of makes one wonder that maybe being uneducated is still considered cool and all the thing grabbing moves that comes with it. Thank god for the black middle class that has proven blacks can in fact move forward---in other words, it aint all color, its will and want and good parenting and taking school seriously---kind of rules that work for any human.
thing grabbing just continues to glorify the premise its cool to not be educated. a sorry state of affairs for black youth emulating such losers like him. the fact he might now have money doesnt make him worthy of respect given hes cashed in on the thing grabbing dumbing down shtick. piece of sh*t probably couldnt pass a GED Test. Thanks a**hole for showing millions of people worldwide that the image of American Blacks is still thing grabbing.

15. I agree - doesn't look like he has much to grab. Probably trying to give himself a semi so he can look average.
