CL’S COMMENTARY ON THE ‘06 BET AWARDS..
Wednesday, June 28, 2006
——-

BEYONCE & JAY-Z ‘DEJA VU’
BRIAN: Beyonce looked really beautiful and set the bar for performances that night. It was appropriate to have her as the opener. The all-girl band gave it an almost old-school Prince-ish vibe, like they were The Revolution, and they seemed like characters in the performance. It was hot chemistry. Her stomach was SICK, Beyonce’s body is great after Dreamgirls, even after putting on some more weight. Her energy was amazing, as well as her chemistry with Jay-Z. I really think Beyonce has stepped up her performance game. And I know ya’ll peeped Jay-Z smaking B’s butt. I guess the couple is being a little more playful now.
ANGEL: I’m not the biggest Beyonce fan in the world, but I can’t even hate on her performance. She did a good job. She was bouncing and jumping and shit a little too much to me, but it’s whatever. lol. And I know yall peeped her all girl band in the background, she wasn’t playing around with that. Highlight? Jay-Z spanking Beyonce’s ass. LOL. Was she lip-syncing?
TIANNA: Man this was the performance that made me want to watch the show in the first place. Girlfriend KILLED it. Her hair was looking good, her outfit…eh, could’ve been better but I liked the body art so that made it look hot. Then when Jay came and TAPPED THAT ASS, that really hyped me up. Angel she wasn’t lip syncing at all, that girl has a strong voice and she always hits the stage hard when she performs. I also like towards the end when she fell to the floor and started seizuring LOL. Bee is one hot lady and I’ll always love her.
—–
ANGEL: BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT, by far!!! Stage props were on point, everyone (except DMX) came out and did their verse. I can’t even front, I was up like I was there; that’s how hype I was. I was happy to see Eminem out too, he still got it. BUSTA definitely knows how to entertain. Much props to him.
BRIAN: Busta Rhymes’s performance was phenomenal. Kelis looked gorgeous, but the outfit was a little… odd to say the least. Will.I.Am always gives a good show, however the “Touch It” remix performance was just great. Hands down one of the best performances of the night. Everyone looked good, and it was just sick. Missy gave a great performance, as well as Rah Digga (who I was pleasantly surprised to see there) as well as Lloyd Banks and Papoose. Busta basically blanked on that performance, seriously. It was amazing.
TIANNA: Busta’s performance was OFF THE CHAIN. This is the performance that woke me the hell up because I definitely zzzed off during the show. When my sexy Kelis came out looking fly I was already feeling it. Then as soon as “Touch It” went off, the whole thing got crazy. Who expected Eminem’s lil ass to pop out from no where? I sure as hell didn’t. I don’t even like him like that and I was hyped when he came out. Good job Busta!
—-
JAMIE FOXX & FANTASIA!
ANGEL: Jamie can sing his ass off live, but he needed to save all that lip sucking for behind closed doors. I know some sheets are getting dirty tonight, he wanted some Fantasia. Did yall catch Jamie trying to get another kiss from her towards the end of the performance? She pulled away from him though. LMAO @ Brian.
TIANNA:: Jame and Fantasia kissing… man I was already sick but that made me alot sicker lol. Somebody pointed out that after they kissed Jamie wiped his mouth off ROFL. But umm yea, the actual performace was cool, I like Jamie’s album so I appreciate him singing so many tracks from off there.
—-
——-
GOOD TIMES GANG
BRIAN: Janet Jackson looked stunning and classic with the members from the Good Time’s cast. She really just looked beautiful. My only question for that part was: Why was ole girl carrying her purse on stage?
ANGEL: LOL, She was carrying it because she knew she was at the BET AWARDS!! Niggas will still your shit. And I could have sworn Janet’s ass got smaller, I guess I was wrong. lol.
TIANNA: I busted out laughing when Bernadette came on stage with her purse. Don’t she know she out the ghetto? LOL. But Miss Janet looked very sexy, I can’t wait for her album to come out.
—-
BRIAN: The Chaka Khan tribute was amazing. Everyone was so on point. Yolanda Adams sounded amazing! It was good to see Stevie out there doing his thing too. India.Arie should have waited until tonight to premiere her newly bald head again. She appeared on Jay Leno last night with a wig on and then tore it off to expose her newly bald head, so it wasn’t really a surprise. Chaka Khan sounded amazing though. I really enjoyed her! Who let Kanye bring his digital camera though? Hilarious!
ANGEL: I actually forgot how many hits Chaka had! I’m just happy she didn’t pop out of that tight leather outfit she was wearing; I know she was hot!! lol. India and them did a good job, waaay better than that bootleg tribute Toni Braxton and them did for Gladys Knight last year.
TIANNA: Man this Chaka tribute was off the hook, I was singing every song. I wish Chaka could’ve sung everything, Yolanda and India did good but ain’t nothing like hearing Chaka do her own songs. When she singed “Through The Fire” I was about to get teary eyed… man that song got too much history with me lol! LOL @ Angel, yea Toni ain’t sound right doing Gladys.
—-
BRIAN: Chris Brown is ELECTRIC. Usher and Omarion both need to watch their backs and step up their games, because Chris really set the bar for young male R&B talent. He has so much stage presence, and to be doing so much dancing and still be able to hold his own vocally was simply amazing. He really put on a show. And big ups on his Viewer’s Choice awards too.
TIANNA: This is when I fell asleep, lol. I don’t know, I guess I really didn’t wanna see Chris’s lil ass after he won so many awards in categories where I was rooting for other people. I heard he flipped off the stage into the audience, that sounds a lil dangerous, yeah LOL?
—-
KEYSHIA COLE - LOVE
BRIAN: Keyshia Cole looked alright. Her face and hair were beautiful, but I was really wishing that her dress could have been a little more classy because that “Love” performance had the potential to really be good. The dress was really not at all flattering to her body. She gave a little too much at the beginning and lost momentum towards the end, you could really tell she was tired.
ANGEL: Yeah homegirl did get a little bit tired towards the end, she was walking around on that stage a little too much. I love Keyshia Cole though. Her album is fire, and I’m glad she is getting some much deserved shine. Vocals were good though.
TIANNA: I wish she would’ve done another song, or combined “I Should’ve Cheated” with it. I dunno, this song was just too much for me and her voice was getting a lil annoying. This is one of those songs you can listen to by cd but can’t listen to it live lol. She looked cute tho, I can’t wait to see her ghetto reality show.
—-
TI ‘WHAT YOU KNOW’
BRIAN: T.I. really held his own during the performance, it’s just a shame that the mics were too turned down. The orchestra performance of “What You Know” would have been extremely hot if they’d just gotten the audio right. Seriously, I can say that he’s one of the few rap artist I love to watch perform because he’s energy is extremely high and he carries so much intensity.
TIANNA: Man they did my boy WRONG, yo! And I was getting really hyped when it began because this is my song. then the music cut off and I’m like wtf? LOL. It would’ve been so hot if BET had the audio working… damn black folks!
—-
YOUNG JOC & DIDDY
BRIAN: Yung Joc and Diddy’s performance was randomly fun and they looked like they had a good time. It was a good little crowd stirrer.
ANGEL: Like I said earlier, It was funny how Diddy called BET out on their fuck ups. I know they were mad. Good performance though, I can’t lie I got up and did the “Tom Cruise” too. How dope would that have been if Tom came on the stage though?
TIANNA: IT’S GOIN DOOOOOOOWN. I dunno, I could’ve done without this performance, and I think Joc was rap syncing. But seeing how this song was the anthem of the summer, of course they had to do it.
—-
MARY J. BLIGE PERFORMANCE
BRIAN: Mary’s outfit for her performance was a mess. That one piece with that denim shrug, and that HUGE silver zipper blatantly on the back of that outfit? With that awful weave pony tail? Her performance to me was boring and low energy, and honestly, I’ve never been fond of Mary’s live voice. I was happy for her winnings, though.
ANGEL: Same ol Mary J performance to me. So this one gets a big ol NEXT! Still love Mary though, don’t get it twisted. She did better on Busta’s shit though.
TIANNA:I think I was sleep during this performace because I was wondering what happened to Mary. But if it was boring I’m glad my medication had me knocked out lol. Her lil denim piece looks cute but the jacket is too much. YUCK.
—-
MARY MARY PERFORMANCE
BRIAN: Mary Mary looked and sounded awesome. I really love their chemistry on stage, their performance was beautiful and heart-felt. Those girls have some voices on them.
ANGEL: Point blank, these sistas can sang their asses off. I can’t believe that was actually live. Much props to them.
TIANNA: Man I love Mary Mary, they never fail me. Of course they won’t because these some CHUUUCH singers right here. I wish the audience could’ve showed them more love and not sat on them because the performance was so heartfelt to me. Oh and their hair ALWAYS looks right, do it up sisters!
—-
Harry Belafonte Speech
BRIAN: I was so glad to see Harry Belafonte out at the awards. He looked really good for his age! My mom used to love him, so it was really good to see him out. It was good to see him get some recognition for being an activist and humanitarian because a lot of times, things like that are looked over. Not only that, but he’s mastered all different kinds of the arts. He really spoke the truth on the awards tonight!
ANGEL: It was good to see a living legend at the awards tonight. He has done so much in a lifetime, I could only imagine. Good to see he is still kickin, and making changes in this messed up world.
TIANNA: Harry is such a legend and it was really inspiring to see him speak. The acceptance speech he gave was so well spoken and powerful, I think alot of people from our generation could’ve taken so much from just those five minutes of hearing him talk. He definitely deserved that award.
DAMON WAYANS AS THE HOST?

ANGEL: Damon Wayans was horrible. Why was he even there? Did yall catch that wack ass african/g-unit joke he did at the beginning of the show. LAME!!
BRIAN: Damon was pretty much the definition of boring, corny and unfunny. They really could have chosen someone better for a host. And what was with that untied bow tie? I swear, the absolute worst.
TIANNA: Three words - HOR-RI-BLE. He wasn’t funny, and just wasn’t a good host period. His brother Keenan probably would’ve done better than him, at least he’s better eye candy.
—-
OVERALL FEEL FOR THE SHOW..
BRIAN: I was really impressed with the award show, except for Damon’s performance. He was really terrible. Worse than Jessica Alba on the MTV Movie Awards. I was really expecting the awards to suck, but it turned out to be a really nice event. There was few room for complaints in my book, save T.I.’s audio mishap. They had top-notch performances and it just seemed pretty classy. I really enjoyed it - wouldn’t mind watching again.
ANGEL: I have to admit, I hyped myself up a bit for it, so I was kind of disappointed. It was a great show overall though. One of the best ones so far. BET really stepped up their game this year, well in the performance area that is. I know those BET Execs are fighting over who hired Damon Wayans as the host though. lol. Hopefully, Mo’Nique will come back next year, and tear down the house again. lol. BLACK STAR POWER was out in full force tonight..
TIANNA: I thouht it was alright. I kinda was hyped for it and it wasn’t even all I expected. The show had its good points and it’s bad points. Last year’s show was WAY better IMO.

Only beyonce can make a tin foil inspired outfit, and having a seizure on the stage of the BET awards during a performance MADD SEXY. this girl did the damn thing. HANDS DOWN. ALl the nay sayers need to suck on a fat one.
Good thing DMX didnt show up. Did yall see him with that “Choir”, who was worste him or the choir?
Fantasia and Jaime were so hott. I loved it. They had great chemistry. Really should hook up in the studio those two.
Good times reunion with Janet.. Lord have mercy. Black Star Power In Full Effect. Only BET!!!!!
Thought paris bennet would be apart of the Chaka Khan tribute.. BET turned Yolanda Adams out. I can only imagine what the christian extremist gone have to say bout that one.
Chris Brown got a wierd body. His waist is um.. Interesting lol. But his performance was decent.
Keyshia voice held up better then I thought. Things cuold have been ALOT WORSE!.
Poor TI.. Only one to blame is the sound managers. Hold ya head up high!
Young Joc & Diddy. Was hilarious lol. Ok we all know Joc had the traack playing..
Mary J gets a honorable mention. Things could have been A WHOLE LOST WORSE. And you all know that. No shouting and screaming A+.
Ok Daman Wayans made me have one permanent question the whole night..
***Where The Fuck Is Monique When We Need Her***

My favorite parts: PERFORMANCES PERFORMANCES PERFORMANCES
AMAZING..almost every one of em,they should have ended the show with the Chaka KhAN Tribute though, cause that was amazing,i was standing up for that one, too great! the Touch It remix with EMINEM!!!WOOO! thats a great surprise.
Janet.looked.so.damn.fine
Jay slapping Beyonces ass..hey..i woulda done it too!
Ne-yo.even though he only bites MJ moves…it was a cool performance too.
Least Favorite part:Damon…wow…that was bad. His jokes were just bad. Especially the one about Lil Jon…wow…he was like an old dad trying to be funny driving around with his kids.

LOL… Y’all wrong for capturing those pics at “bad” moments!
Fantasia abd Jamie’s performance wasn’t that good. I don’t feel like she added anything to it. I was interested cuz I saw how Jamie and her were at that other thingy they were at so I HAD to see how they would interact on here. Shocked me!
Chris Brown did his thing! He is too cute… and also too young..lol

Brian hates on ANYBODY female artist that is not Beyonce, I mean really. Who cares if Jamnie & Fantasia kissed, was it necessary for Jay Z to tap Beyonce’s ass or for her to start humping the floor? They are grown ass people. Fantasia sounded better in her little intro than Beyonce sounded lip synching that whole song.
Beyonce had another typical performance of butt shaking, bouncing, shouting and hanging off of Jay Z. It happened in all her solo performances the MTV one the 1st BET one and this one..she is so predictable. But of course she is the second coming on here, so let me prepare for droves of Thou Shalt not diss Bouncy posts.

hands down…nobody can touch b.
i got mad mary kept that outfit on that many times. and she should have got some damn dancers for that ‘enough cryin’ switch up, that bullshit!
chris brown did is thizzm, that platforms where a little shakey and it still rookieish but he is doing is thing very well so far.
kelis shines on them hoes.
busta performance was hot. it reminded of that diddy on the vma performance. HOT TO DEATH!
imma need for fantasia breath to not look like it stank no mo. she needs to hit the gym. then work on actually singing actual words from now on.
i want keyshia cole to kill them. but she didn’t. she came, and performed, not spec…about it.
i love how diddy just so damn icy and he needs a performace to just present a award. hes so hot. and i love young joc’s jacket, im finding me one!
chaka, a diva.

If she was lip synching she is the best in the business cuz that shit looked and sounded real ass hell.
I beleive she sang it though cuz her mouth and the mic and the speakers were like one in the same. Its hard to be that good. But of course the nay sayers will say she lip synched becuz well. Thats all they have to do.

I agree with most of the comments made so far
Damon was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent most of the time thinking about the past hosts that held it down. I was even hoping that Nick Cannon and Kat Williams will take over hosting when they come out to present
Loved Beyonce’s performance but I can’t front I was expecting a little more . . . but that’s what happens when she sets the bar so high with past performances . . . I think the fact that they just put the band together like over the weekend played a part . . . they’ll be FYAH the next time out
Keyshia Cole . . . was the whole award show not promotion for her reality show now i can’t wait for that to start . . . I’m there July 12 9:30pm
Busta’s performance was BOSS . . . I love Kelis and her style
Like “mezzo.soprano” I too was surprised Prince didn’t hit the stage once and then leave
His performance really open my eyes to the fact that rock is our music too and we need to own it more often than we do

#8 - sudanny, am I really hating? or did I just say that I didn’t like the performance I said that I thought it wasn’t classy? and that it was kind of gross?
like someone else said in a previous comment, fantasia added nothing to the performance. I think you might be reading a little too deep into it. I LIKE fantasia - I OWN her album. I just don’t think she added anything to jamie’s performance.

Busta was the best performance for me. It was goin down in my house, especially when Em came out.
I was hooked from the pre-show when Weezy started.
Janet’s butt was crazy, I already made me an appointment to get one of my own!
Vivica….well her and Amorosa were trippin.
Nas and Kelis are fabulous. They do their own thing.
Chocolate Ty and Megan Goode looked nice together.
Mary took it back with the denim one-piece…she should have left it there! But her performances were good.
Diddy and Joc was comic relief at the right time of the night. It was good.
All that said, my favorite two parts was when the contest winner spoke telling everyone to find Jesus and when Kirk Franklin said he wanted to thank Jesus by not only what he said, but how he lived. That put things in perspective for me because Kirk is finally growing up spiritually. His Christian journey has been inspiring to me because I though he had lost his mind when he had the strippers in his video once. Now, he reveals that he did have a problem with porn and is recovering and back doing great things for the Lord.
Great night, fun night, so many positive Black people doing big things. Life is great for the moment!

beyonce was on it and that all female band of hers was off the hook and i ain’t mad at jay-z for spanking it one time lol.you can tell she ain’t ashamed to say she love her man.she was just beaming when he came out.
mary j did her thang but the outfit was not doing it for me.
mary mary wooooooooooooooooooh!!!
the chaka tribute was very good and long overdue.prince was playing that guitar like only he can and yolanda adams did chaka justice hands down and india arie was nice on the ears too.
the worst of the night had to be damon as the host…can you say he won’t be back next year
and p.diddy was wrong for making it seem like some surprise was about to happen and we got that lame mess with him and young joc and young wasn’t even rapping into the mic

I got a question. I was over at C&D and people were commenting on that Monique was being a bitch and hating on Rihanna while they were presenting. Did anybody get the vibe that Monique was hating on Ri Ri cuz I did not. I think folks read too much into that.
BET stepped it up. BUT They should NEVER let Damon Wayans host ever again. He should have hosted the show as Homie the Clown
Beyonce- I guess I was expecting more. I was thinking she was gonna come with some tight ass dance moves. Homegirl looked like she was possesed by demons when she got on the floor. I Thought Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin were gonna have to lay some hands on her and cast that demon out in Jesus name. But over all her performance was good nothing spectacular but good. It was CIL part 2. I loved the band. Her abs were sick.
Busta- He was hott. I was jamming like I was at a concert. I damn near screamed when Slim Shady came on stage. He still got.
Chaka- Was amazing. She is the epitome of true artistry/

My bad Brian your comment just threw me off. I guess I can’t fathom sombody “liking” someone and talking about them like they are scum from the sewer.
I mean when you said:
I just thought that she made the whole thing tacky and classless. Leave it to Fantasia.
I mean damn ‘Leave it to Fantasia to be classless and tacky?’ Where and when has she ever displayed herself as tacky and classless, besides this disgusting condemned *gasp* kiss? I just get the feeling had it been Jay & Beyonce that kissed it wouldn’t have been getting any negative reaction from you.
I just have a question Brian, do you think the Destiny Childs performance last year when they gave 3 men lap dances–was tacky or classless?
I remember when Alicia Keys & Usher kissed after their performance on the AMA’s of “My Boo” and everyone thought that was the cutest thing ever. I can’t help but think because Jamie & Fantasia are of a darker complexion that seeing them kiss was disgusting, becuase God forbid he find a woman of a dark complexion desirable. You guys can say I am bringing up race issues-but you know it’s true. Had Beyonce & Jay Z kissed, or Alicia Keys & Jamie Foxx-you guys would have thought it was the cutest thing. Had that comment you made about Fantasia been made about Beyonce all hell would break loose. Fantasia had 1 kiss, Beyonce shaked, gyrated, humped- but you say she “elevated her performance level” Give me a break this Beyonce worshipping makes me not even want to visit the blog and it’s a shame because I’ve enjoyed reading and lurking it for the past 7-8 mos. I know you’re going to say if you don’t like it leave-but at least take what I said into account.

Watch with caution, because you know it’s tacky and classless, because you know how raunchy a kiss is.

I had to DVR the entire show because I worked till damn near midnight but I just watched it and I agree with most of the board:
- Damon Wayans could’ve mad this a forgettable show if the performances weren’t so hot.
- I must comment that I’m HAPPY that everyone showed up this year. I was a little scared when Missy didn’t go on stage to get her award, but she showed up during the Busta performance so that was cool. I can’t lie, I was really upset that most of the entertainers skipped a GREAT show last year, but they put their all into the MTV Awards. So to see that everyone who received an award did show up was GREAT because it’d be a shame to demonstrate we can’t even support our own awards show hosted by our own network.
- I don’t know if it was just my TV, but did anyone else notice that it seemed like the camera they were using made it seem like you weren’t watching a live broadcast? It seemed like it was taped a year ago and replayed now. I don’t mean to be picky, but one of my gripes about BET award shows is that they will have the stupid technical difficulties like cutting back from commercial before they cue the host (it happened only once tonight) or the horrible audio during T.I. performance (which would’ve been second to Busta’s in my opinion) and Puffy’s mic. They have better quality footage in pornos! I think the BET Awards is VERY close to surpassing the MTV and Grammy’s as the most anticipated awards show within the Black music community, but if the world is going to turn to this show as it’s fix for recognizing Black music, then the silly technical errors and glitches have to be resolved. I don’t care about people ad-libbing or even promoting their CDs because that is how we do things, but the technical aspects of presenting the show have to be fixed. Even though it’s a black show it don’t mean you can’t hire a all-white/mexican stage crew (I’m just joking….sorta;-)
- I was happy that everyone left their entourage either at home or in the crowd. I think a three person maximum is great unless you have like 7 performers on one song (Busta).
- Busta killed it hands down. I give it a 9.5 and the only reason I don’t give it a 10 is because DMX didn’t show up and Will.I.Am didn’t follow Kelis off the stage after his song was finished.
- Maybe the expectations are too high now, and I know this is a Beyonce-lover site, but I was very underwhelmed by Beyonce’s performance even though Jay-Z slappin it was a mild highlight. That would’ve been a great mid-show performance, but after having the Fugees last year and Monique dancing the year before, they could’ve went with a better opening act to set the night off on the right foot. Kanye and Jamie performing Gold Digger would’ve been nice.
- Seeing Janet Jackson come out with her Goodtimes cast was a treat! I don’t know about yal, but I was cracking up when I saw J.J. because I kept thinking about the Camron video and I was praying to see him and Jay-Z in split screen because they do loook alike. Or at least show us Jay-Z’s reaction.
- I thought Prince could’ve closed the show better. Since he won a award and set it off during the Chaka performance, the interest factor just wore off but I understand they probably had to guarantee him a highlight performance for him to agree to participate as much as he did.
- Two words: Whitney Houston. She should’ve sung “I’m every woman!” with Chaka just to demonstrate that no matter what happens to her, she’ll never lose her voice. That would’ve made this the best BET awards show hands down for me.
- I hope they don’t recycle Stevie anymore. Let him take the next five shows off so we can be reminded that it’s a treat to still see him perform.
- The only people who should be allowed to host the BET awards are: Monique, Steve Harvey, Chris Rock or Ralphie May. Yeah, I said it, Ralphie May. If anyone saw him host the Big Black Comedy Show on Showtime then you know that fat white boy is FUNNY. To be a great host, you have to be a great stand up comedian because you will have to ad lib on the fly and catch the crowd off guard. Damon can’t flow like that and it was obvious because he’s a sketch comedian. I’d even like to see Jamie Foxx if he ever decides to take a break from singing to do stand-up again.
- BET needs to clean house with their current hosts. I know most of yal on this site hate him but I actually like Big Tigga. Julissa grew on me but I wouldn’t miss her if she was gone. These new hosts, Terrence and that other girl just don’t click with me. Terrence tries to hard to be a cross between A.J. and Tigga. I was actually feelin that one dude from B2K when he was hosting 106 for like a week. Either bring back Free and A.J. or continue your search because trying to slowly feed us Terrence and that other girl hoping they’ll carve a niche for themselves is not going to work.
- Last but not last, the person I would like to see make a surprise guest appearance sooner than later is: Donnie Simpson. He was the only black brother holding it down (even though he cheated with his eyes) during the era of the light-skinned brothers who dominated everything (late 80s, early 90s).
Otherwise, I think BET took another step forward tonight and I look forward to all of the upcoming reality series and whatnot. I just wish BET would have a show like Run’s House because I think their major flaw is that highlight the current generation too much and only pay respect to the past once a year during award shows. They need some more documentaries or shows discussing the personal and professional lives of past Black entertainers. I still can’t believe that VH1 beat BET to that concept because for all of BET’s strides, I can honestly say VH1 has quality Black entertainment programming even in terms discussion of Hip Hop. BET is still focused on displaying the lifestyle of Hip Hop and Black Entertainment versus telling the stories at the root and discussing the larger picture.

A good host for the BET awards is Steve Harvey. Never have any complaints about him doing any award shows, its always funny, and he DEFINATELY woulda talked about how cheap all the MIC problems were.
Once again on Damon. They shoulda saved his promo videos for the awards, to be shown on the awards.
Because that was funnier than anything he said at the show.
Prince…. maybe i didn’t hear it right, but whats up with how prince was backing up the singers during the Chaka tribute.
I must say, that dude is cool though, and for him to be 48 and looking younger than pretty much anyone at the awards except Chris Brown, thats scary.
Anyone who performed alone, pretty much sucked.
Mary J B need to stick to “Brook Lyn” or whatever it is, cause in my opinion, she never could sing, she never will be able to sing.
Everytime I hear her sing, it reminds me that “Yes, she was on drugs, and it is apparent in her voice.”

Your coverage on last night’s Bet Awards was great. I would have given it an A++ if I had seen something written about Prince by Angel and Brian in the course of their show commentaries. After all he is one of the greatest, if not the greatest musician in the world. That said, your efforts were very entertaining. Hopefully you will include Prince in your postings tomorrow, in respect to your commentaries. If you have any video of Prince’s BET Awards performance on YouTube, please put up a link.

sudanny, I don’t have a color complex, so all the jargan about dark-skinned, light-skinned really doesn’t effect me. I don’t really care about what color people are, so that doesn’t have anything to do with it.
never saw the usher and alicia keys performance, so I can’t comment on it. I never said it was cute. same goes for the infamous lap dance given by destiny’s child for “cater 2 u.” I was out of town during the time of the BET awards last year, so I didn’t even get to see it. so again, I can’t really speak on that.
the reason why I said that the kiss between fantasia and jamie was disgusting was because when they disconnected, you could see spit coming from in between their mouths, which just made it completely disgusting. if you look at that picture, jamie is BITING fantasia’s lower lip. it just looked gross to me, and EVERYONE I watched it with (I attended a watching party, hehe) agreed with me.
again, like I said, I liked jamie by himself. I didn’t feel as though fantasia added anything to the performance. that was just my opinion, I wasn’t asking you or telling you to agree with me.
however, I’m NOT going to continue to repeat myself when saying that I just genuinely did not like the performance and didn’t think that fantasia added to it. I said in the commentary, and here I am, saying it again. you have your opinion, I have my own, and you’re not going to change my mind. I’m not going to say that “if you don’t like it, leave” - that’s not my mentality. I’m glad you come to the site and express your views - that’s what the comments are for. it’s for people to look at and make their own opinions. honestly, I don’t even care what your opinion is, because you’re not going to change my mind. I simply responded to you because you addressed me, not because I’m mad about you making a comment on what my opinion is and not because I disagree with you. people disagree. life goes on. either one of us could care less..
furthermore, please don’t preach to me about this whole dark skinned/light skinned thing. it’s getting old and really, I think that’s reading a bit too deep into it. all black people don’t have a color complex, for save it for somebody else. that’s not a tooth I’m going to allow you to pull. you can only beat a dead horse so much.

sudanny, please re-read my comments. I guess you somehow overlooked the part where I said I didn’t see it, and never have.
I didn’t say it was all in your head - I just said that I don’t have a color complex, so your preaching about skin color and dark vs. light really doesn’t mean anything to me and it doesn’t affect me. your attitude is entirely too condescending and it’s really a little late to be trying to “read between the lines” over the internet. I’m not repeating myself and I’m really done going back and forth with you.

Okay I have to admit Beyonce’s performance sucked ass big time. Someone said it was a hot performance so I was all hyped and waiting for the good stuff. This heffa rolled around on the damn floor, like Ike told Anna Mae to eat the damn cake and she said no, what the hell was that. However I must admit I was highly impressed with her vocals.
Jamie was just okay as well.
Someone please find the Busta performance, PLEASE!!!!!!

VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH BEYONCE’S performance. Usually Jay is just filler in her performances but he was actually the highlight of her set and probably saved her from some very bad reviews. Other than Jayonce finally showing some chemistry and rarely seen affection, the set was poorly coreographed and she banked too much on the fact that she is attractive and everyone will accept just watching her run around stage and shake a little. BY the way, How all them 3LW posters feel about B’s convulsions on the floor?

Okay what was up with ya’ll’s princess B , I say ya’ll cause I don’t really care for her, and usually I like to see the occasional diva crash and burn ( like Tonight) but even I was like she can do better than that!!!. Her hair was fried died and electrified , and what was her ass doing having a seizure? I know she got some rhythm , I guess she lent it to India Arie cause she was dancing her butt off with her cut and swirl but that’s another time and place. Back to Hot mess almighty , did she even listen to her song , guess she should checked on that one a little bit more before she came out like that!
After that preformance if you can call it that , everyone else seemed to go all wrong , why was Damon acting like he was scared to tell a damn joke , and why was everybody preforming , theyw as doing it back to back at one point and time. I think I really enjoyed Chaka Kahn and that was about it.

I have to say it. I expected more from Beyonce. The dancing and band were off the hook, (give it up for the band) but I wanted more from her vocally. She was dancing to much to sing. That shit was prerecorded and you could tell. She did the same thing when she sang at the opening of that football game. She looked amazing, (glad she changed up the hair).
Busta was sick. He always gives a good show. Missy & Slim Shady were a nice suprise. Missy didn’t even come out to get her award because they wanted to keep it a suprise. And who the hell knew SS was going to be there. I thought his ass went crazy. LOL
Somebody needs to get fired behind that T.I shit. That preformance had the potential to be off the hook and BET messed it up. Dam music louder than him.
I liked Mary. Her vocals were strong. Not crazy about the outfit but the boots was FIRE!!!!!
Chris Browns energy is crazy. His vocals weren’t great but way better than what I expected of him. Usher better watch his back. Did anybody see the black carpet where Chris said he would battle him. LOL
Chaka still got it. Live band live vocals off the hook.
I didn’t expect Damon to be good and got even less. He sucked! He hasn’t been funny since Homey the clown anyway.
Keyshia is getting better with time. I didn’t like the dress, but it’s way better than what she usually looks like.
Jamie did that same preformance with that same chick. Should have done something new.
WHAT UP ASBURY. NICE TO SEE YOU BACK!

Why are people saying Beyonce lip synched? That was a live performance, with a live band. Were we all watching the same show.
Anyway she did her thing, I loved the hair and the ass tap, I could have done with out her throwing herself on the floor acting a fool but I guess that was “Sasha”. The all girl band was live, good shit.
Busta’s performance was the best. Chris Brown threw me off with the back flips, I thought the Olympics already passed?
Mary? NO words except BORING and what a tacky ass outfit.
I thought Keyshia looked and sounded great.
Harry spoke the truth!
Chaka tribute was great.
I think Prince should have ended with Black Sweat instead of that song but he still fine.
Leave it to BET to fuck up T.I.’s performance. I know he was PISSED. Young Joc’s performance was fucked up too.
Overall it wasn’t as good as last year. They need to get Mo’nique or Will and Jada to do it again cause Damon fucking BLOWED.

I agree with most of yall about the show.
As a Beyonce fan, I can say her performance was predictable. I didn’t like it, but hey I don’t like the song Deja Vu either. However, she looked really good last night. Her body was on point.
Diddy and Young Joc: YAWN!
What the hell was Diddy doing? Sorry, he’s getting to old for all that.
Janet. Wow. Don’t know what to say. That’s a bad bitch. Body looks better than some women half her age.
Mary disappointed me. All that yelling at the end. For what? Them notes was awful. She still the Queen though.
Chaka Khan, true legend. Along with Busta, I must say they were the best perfromances of the night.

Chaka and Mary Mary were the best female performances, and rhianna looked nice

Lol yall need to stop hating. Beyonce is a classically trained opera singer. With the best vocal coach in the business. The girl can sing damn near anything doing damn near anything. Why the hell would she have to lip synch. It wasnt like she was up there doing intricate choreography. She fell on the ground? Wow she cant sing while she is on the ground. People do it all the time. Hell she does it all the time. She has amazing control over her voice and has an amazong voice. She did the damn thing. Again why would she need to lip snych. She is beyonce isnt she?

I also agree with ‘drunken tipdrill’ Beyonce still doing the same things 3 years ago when her firzst album came out shes getting old. Shes overrated and its much more talent out there like India Arie, Keyshia Cole… Mary who sang they’re heart out at the award show you can tell who is singing live and who isnt and Beyonce wasnt Ive been to plenty of conceerts and shows and she wasnt singing live not getting on the floor and still sounding the same, she is human she runs out of brethe esp all that booty shaking she doesn dance she just shakes her booty is stale and old, dayum. Lol, I just personally think shes overrated and her new single is stale she yellling the entire song and ppl have the nerve to asy May J yells too much Beyonce does the same thing.

Just a few questions:
I need to know why India had a dam bang drawn on to her head.
Did anybody see Jennifer Hudson when she arrived. She looked so nice, I was happy for her.
Did Kelis have “god” shaved on the side of her head wtf?
Kelly Rowland looked amazing. She is really a pretty girl. How happy did she look during Bee’s preformance. Real friendship.
When will Master P just give it up?
Bee stole that role on the ground shit from Pattie. (You know she did)
Why did Brook Valentine have on D earings?
Can somebody start a petition to get Monique back? Loved her comments to Beyonce.

It was so good to see female musicians get they some shine. They straight rocked it. For just two weeks notice they put together a hell of a performance. The musucians and beyonce came together beautifuly. Cant wait to see MORE!!!!**

I was embarrassed for Damon. Awards shows should stay clear of anyone with the last name Wayans.
I thought Beyonce did a good job, she looked incredible as always.
Like some others have mentioned I don’t think that it was necessary for Fantasia to be up there with Jamie. I’m so sick of hearing her “sing” that yelling shit is annoying.
I used to like Mary, now she’s just very boring to me. And her little alter ego needs to die.
I honestly left the room when Chris Brown performed….he’s a bore to me, maybe I’m too old to appreciate what he’s “bringing to the game”.
I left when Mary Mary performed too.
The Chaka Khan tribute was good. Now Chaka is a person that needs to lose weight. Seeing her BEFORE…shit she had a bad body like Beyonce. Now this bitch is NECKLESS and she’s always wearing these Xena Warrior Princess outfits that DO NOT flatter her. Her ass is like a fucking table and that outfit she had on stage LMAOOOO. Damn Chaka. You have the money, find a great nutritionist and a trainer.
Like a lot of folks, I’m amazed at the amount of weight Janet lost in such a short period of time. But Janet just DOES NOT look the same to me anymore. She looks bad…something about her face isn’t right. Not to mention that her hair was FUCKED up last night, and that dress was absolutely TOO DAMN tight. It took her about 15 minutes to walk across the stage…that wasn’t a SEXY stroll that was a “I hope I don’t fall on my face walk”.

Pretty much. Yes the chorus was playing in the background but watching it on T.V. (not youtube) the first and second verses were live from what I could hear.
Regardless lip synch or not Bee never misses a note, people might hate on her but she has one of the best voices of our time. Like it or not.
But what was up w/ Young Joc Lip Rapping? Or did BET fuck up his Mic?

Jamie and Fantasia performace was kinda very tacky. Fantasia went on stage screamin,kicking and dancing and gave Jamie a sloppy ass kiss towards the end and then she came back and for what???? He could have done much better without her.
Beyonce was great, but shes a wild child. Her choreography and vocals was on point. Kinda reminds me of Tina Turner. I am not the biggest Beyonce fan but half of these girls out now wish they could give that kind of performance.
Keyshia was aight, but it seemed like she gave up towards the end. Her hair was a mess and her dress looked like she was going to a funeral. At the end performace it seemed as though she had sung 20 songs.
Damon Wayans really disappointed me. He sucked big time. It just seemed like he showed out and then asked her his check. It like he didnt even try.
Overall have any major highlight etc. Will and Jada ‘05, Destiny’s Child ‘05, Monique ‘04, Rick James ‘04 Hip hop tribute ‘04

She lipsynced believe it or not, she didnt dance on the floor humping the ground and still singing on key… Mary J…Keyshia… Mary Mary all sang live both moving around and sang full notes, Beyonce didnt NOT once do that, because she was singing to a record with a fake band, she was the only one lipsyncing with a fake bad! I’m done arguing about it, she has no talent, shes a pretty face and nice body, with Jay-Z by her side, shes overrrated point blank, enough said.

If anybody hates Beyonce more, it’s me. I will say this, that girl can sing. For those of you who think she lip sync, she didn’t. The girl really sounds like her records. Some of you better go back and watch. FYI, her dad would make Destiny’s Child run for miles and sing to keep their vocals strong for when their performing on the stage. Thats why some of you may have thought she wasn’t singing. She able to jump around and have fits and still sound good. I can’t front on the girl. She’s the reason why I watched the show. To see her performance. Trust me, I can’t stand her ass but she did excellent! Jay smacking that ass just confirmed what everybody already knew. She loves his ass and he loves her.
Busta’s performance was HOT! Em coming out just set it off. He’s still got it.
TI is the shit. It was HOT. He’s the King and he didn’t let us forget that…lol
I don’t know if Fantasia realized she kissed fine ass Jamie Foxx. But why did he kiss her?? I like Fantasia but she looks like her breath stinks…lol

Bouncy’s performance was good for about 30 seconds. After that it became a rip off of tina turner, patti labelle, and shakira. Yall need to get the cataracts out your eyes to not see she lipped part of that song. Keep fooling yourselves.
JAMIE & FANTASIA’S performance was fire. LOVED IT! So what they kissed, if that was bee and jay yall asses would have ate that shit up. For the little Fantasia did, she sounded great. For someone who has an almost 2yr old album out and for BET to keep asking them to be apart of their award show says pretty dayum much. I really don’t get how dude saying she was acting classless…smh. when DC lapped danced last year, was that classy? That was the talk the next day. So is the Jamie/Fantasia kiss the big talk on radio stations and blogs. Hate her or love her, she got yall talking. Im sure BET will have her back next year to sing something off her new album, and maybe she’ll have a more “classy” performance then. *Middle Finger.*
Busta had the best performance of the night. Didn’t feel the Chaka Tribute like I did Glady Knight’s last year. Chaka’s seemed lack luster to me at least.
Mary sang out of tune as usual. But that’s to be expected.
Keyshia….BORING. Yet, she is supposed to be the future of R&B? OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
LOved Mary Mary. That’s my song that they sang.
They should fine Damon Wayans for being drunk and corny. BRING BACK MONIQUE OR STEVE HARVEY!

Mary J did alright
Busta Rhymes performance was like the SECOND from the BEST
Beyonce (Bouncy) okay…. Dont hype her up more than whats due.. She is not the G.O.A.T! LMAO!
Keyshia Cole- Can’t sing.. very lame, and has no Oomph!
Chris Brown- Performance was like any other B2k or young teenager performance… So it was cool.
Prince, Chaka Khan and Stevie Wonder- GREAT (REAL TALENT)
Jamie Foxx- this performance was more FUNNY than anything! LOL!

I wasnt feeling Bouncy’s performance. She has had better. To me she was missing something. I guess it was people on stage like dancers and stuff. The band wasnt enough. Her being on the stage by herself jumping and bouncing was a rip off of Tina Turner, Shakira, and someone getting they shout on in church. I wasnt feeling it. Her body was sick though. After I watched her performance, I turned it off and popped in Madea Goes To Jail.

If Beyonce does moves that Tina Turner did, or Pattie Labelle did. Whats wrong with being influenced by other legends. The girl always says she was influenced greatly by Tina turner and the others. Why wouldnt she draw from thier past success, add her own flavor. And make one hell of a performance. BEYONCE is the new age R&B full force. She aint no joke.
BEYONCE the way the truth and the light.

Whoever didn’t think Beyonce’s performance was hott is obviously experiencing some self-worth problems cause girlfriend killed it!!!! Lol
Was she lip-syncing? Didn’t sound like it but if she was, who cares? We know she can sing. And at least you had to wonder cause some of these artist obviously lip-synch.
NO ONE performes like her and that’s why she will be in the business for a looong time. So people should just get over it and get use to her.
So much more positive and lil negative about that performance last night. She never seizes to fail.

Sudanny, I agree with you 100%, and please stick to your original thoughts, never back down, you were right.
Niema, I am on that “cannot stand Be List” too, but I have to admit, she surprised me; a co-worker stated that I never watch her, so that performance would be “good” to someone like me, smiling.
#73 CW I agree with you 100% regarding Fantasia.
Was Keshia out of breath? I was looking forward to her performance, what happened?
Lastly,
Please, will someone tell Diddy to sit down, he ruined the whole act with Young J.

Beyonce’s look & performance were flawless! Deja Vu is gonna have to grow on me, she was yelling too much. All the other performances were good. Chris Brown and Keyshia both ran out of breath about 1 minute into their set.
Young Joc & Diddy should have been left out of the lineup. Joc spent more time doing that fucking “motorcycle” than he did spitting. Chaka’s tribute was fire, there was too much heat on that stage, even Stevie jumped up with that harmonica! Fantasia was unnecessary, she can sing, but all she did was yell, Jamie just wanted to recreate what he did at the pre-Grammy party……whatever.
TI held it down, even though the sound team was backstage fucking up. And I know the guy who ran behind Brenda Lee when she was presenting Harry Belafonte, is looking for a job today.
Mary J. probably feels like she doesn’t have to try so hard anymore, but she was BORING! She should’ve maybe changed outfits or hairstyles, when she came out with Busta. That ponytail was wack! She always looks better. Did you see the look she gave Andre 3000 when he tried to keep talking?
And poor, poor Damon can forget about next year, at least he tried, he even tried to bring back his “Men on Films” character and that bombed as well.

I would definately have to agree with miss tianna on the fact that last years award show was much better than this one, i guess i had my hopes up alil too high and was let down by the overall drag of the show, there were highpoints but they were far and few between…the fantasia and jamie kiss was nasty, but it woke folks up, i kno i was on my way to go grab a burger or somethin befo that shit happened lmao..but i LOVED the busta performance, truly the best of the night..i personally liked keyshias performance..the simplicity was a nice welcome among everyone elses intricate (and sometimes unnesessary) sets, in my opinion beyonces performance was cute..nothing to piss the sheets over tho, the whole seizure thing wasnt a good look..but these are just my opinions, i aint hatin..I SWEA!

Beyonce’s performance was good. It was the least boring of all the female performers. Someone made a comparison to the fact that Keyshia and Mary sang all the way live but their performances consisted of standing in one spot and giving us a performance we could have gotten anywhere. And even at that Keyshia Cole couldnt finish her shyt strong. She gave up a minute before it was over and basically said fu*k it. And Mary screamed AGAIN!
If Keyshia Cole is the future of R&B were all DOOMED!
And name one R&B singer out there who can run around like Beyonce, sing live, and soung great because she has done it many times. Not Ashanti, Mary, Rhianna, Monica, Brandy, Keyshia, etc…

The Beyonce performance was just ok to me–the best part was when Jay-Z came out and slapped her on the ass!
Wasn’t feeling the Jamie Foxx/Fantasia slob down. There really was no singing.
Keyshia Cole really needs to take some breathing lessons. She was out of breath like halfway through her song!
Performances I liked: Chris Brown, MJB-I think she should have opened the show (except for the outfit w/boots in June!), Busta-he did the damn thing, Mary Mary, Yolanda Adams was just beyond words (I noticed she did not have on her wedding ring-what’s up with that), Ne-Yo was kind of cute.
Overall, I thought the show was a good one. They should have had Monique instead of DW, though. I thought they were going to boo his ass off the stage when he started talking about rappers with speech impediments. And for it to be an award show they only gave away like 8 awards!
I hate to bring up Beyonce cuz I know yall are tired of hearing it-but yall know she is hot that she didn’t win anything!

Bit*************** Please stop hatin!!!!!!
Beyonce is a bad bitch irregardless of what you low self-esteem broads think of her. Yes any woman who can’t stand to give the next woman her props when you know she is bad has low self-esteem, pre-requisite for hater.
Okay many of you stated she could have done better or they expected more-
better than what or more than who?
Right now who is out that brings the heat on the stage like Beyonce? Please name one chick out right now who performs or sings as good as or better than Beyonce. Please don’t play yourself and make sure whoever you compare her to is also a triple threat.
Obviously I’m a fan, but I also have enough damn sense to decipher when someone can sing (yes sing, not lip synch), has star-quality, and dance her ass off. Beyonce is a trail blazer, trend setter, and dances to the beat of her own drum.
What exactly were all of you expecting for her to do set herself on fire and perform at the same time?
Did you not see the all girl band? new and innovative
The song itself-very unique nothing out sounds like it.
Beyonce-fierce! body on point! vocals on point! Straight Diva!
Beyonce is in a class all by herself-hands down. She is so talented and you heffa’s can’t stand it!! And her man is straight fire and he holdin her down. You broads would love to be her! Don’t hate, be inspired to do similar or better, if you can-not!
And for the hater who stated her performance was lip synched at the superbowl-please contact a hearing specialist and obtain a hearing aid-your obviously deaf.

My opinion:
Beyonce was on point as usual. I agree, only she could make having a seizure look sexy. I actually loved her outfit, though, the body art was really nice. And the all girl band, gotta’ love that.
Jamie Foxx and Fantasia? Ewww! That’s all I have to say.
I actually thought Mary J.’s performance was pretty good. I hate when she starts screaming and getting all off-key but she kept it cool last night. Without You was nice but Enough Crying got the crowd hype.
Best perfomance for the whole night would be a tie between Busta Rhymes and Chris Brown. That young boy is doing his thing! And Busta peformance of the Touch It remix with everybody on stage was hot!
Mary Mary’s performance was great. Those two ladies can sang!
Keyshia Cole… love her, but she was trippin’. That did not sound good at all. And what was up with her jerky movements? She really disappointed me.
Any other performance I didn’t mention was cool but must have not really impressed me because I have no comment.

Beyonce was the BEST HANDS DOWN!!! It’s funny that yall idiots think she was lip singing, you know good and DAMN WELL that was live, that girl aint got to li psing SHYT. She is the best vocally out of our time, can’t nobody do it like her, she made MJB, Keyshia and Fantasia look a HOT MESS!! They were out of breath tired and BLAH. Beyonce’s performance was refreshing and so onpoint, yall know it. Just hate her so much and can’t admit it. THis was the BEST Beyonce performance ever. No rountine would have gone with that she the shit. MJB was horrible. Chaka’s tribut was GREAT!!!!! But Beyonce stole the show they knew who to pick to set that show off. WHat’s funny is Beyonce never lip sings. BUt it this way if she was lip singing so was everyone else that night including Chaka. The only part Beyonce didn’t sing was the Course. Her voice and the sound never changed from her saying BET lets get them and when she sung that was all live, her voice is that amazing that yall fools thought she wasn’t singing live. GO BEE!!!!!! She was happy and full of energy, she didn’t need dancers, back up singers nothing but her and the band. That girl was on FIYAH!!!!!!!!!! Yall need to give it up and just put all feelings aside and say that she was the best thing that happened to that show last night. If she wasn’t that good yall wouldn’t be talking about her. I feel like with MJB if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all she was a mess, outfit, hair and vocals. Keyshia was better and looked great. Beyonce has the best vocal coach, trained Opera singer, her dad made them run miles and sing while doing it now do you think she would have to lip sing anything. Give credit when it’s due and last night Beyonce SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

She can blow, it’s amazing huh?? That she is that beautiful and can blow like that while moving. She a LEGEND!!!!! After only 10 years.

But yea, I ain’t gonna argue about Bee lip-syncing or not. I’ve seen enough live performances of her to know that girl hardly ever lip-synchs (Superbowl was pre-recorded because they make all the artists do that). Now I dunno if all of that band was live…but Bee definitely was.

B and Hov killed it, threw it in a trunk, drove 50 miles out of town and buried it. Nobody elses performance could fuck with theirs.
The second best was the busta jawn. When he started bringing everybody out, I got amped. Lloyd Banks killed it. Then Eminem came out and I went crazy!!! Im happy to see him on stage having a good time after Proof’s passing.
Overall:
Those two things made the show extremely worthwhile. Leave it to BET to fuck up sounds and mics. Black folks can never get shit to be perfect, and smooth.

WOW! Beyonce is definitely Killin her competition when it comes to stage presence/performance. I get so tired of watching these boring bitches who’re afraid to sweat and only wanna look cute on stage. Beyonce throws all of that outta the window when she commits to a performance (ex: when she spassed out on the floor, loved it). Whether you like the song or not, her presence was extremely entertaining and fearless. In my opinion,on a performance level, she’s our modern day Tina Turner.

YES, her dancing was WILD. Has everyone heard the lyrics to the song??!! “BOY I TRY TO CATCH MYSELF, BUT I’M OUT OF CONTROL!” Key phrase: I’m out of control! Hence the wild dancing.
The performance was supposed to be funky, fun, and crazy, but y’all are steady analyzing it death!

To reply to ‘baileys comment’ who brings the heat to the stage like Beyonce, uh no one your right, there isnt no hot female out there right now, so Beyonce is hot, she has a pretty face, great body, Jay-Z by her side who would not be hot. She is promoted very WELL!
Like Steve Harvey said, there are no r&b artist who can sing jazz, r&b, and soul, that is a REAL ARTIST, and Beyonce is not one!
I have no problem in gving props to people with talent when its due, and Beyonce isnt one of them sorry. She is pop and r&B, she isnt Alicia Keys, she has talent both piano and vocal. Beyonce has no passon in her songs she has no feeling in her songs must one grow through to express like Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, India Arie, Mary J, and even Keisha Cole!!! they sing with passion and feeling thats why they move there hangs and so called on this board ‘jerking’ around. Beyonce does have that she popps her booty arouns stage lipsyncing songs with Jay-z singing with her. Im sure she has sung songs live before which Ive seen but she cant sing at all she has no REAL voice, just something to go to a good beat in the studio, not live. She sung with a fake band, every REAL artist that night sung with a LIVE BAND.

The Beyonce bias and Mary hate on this site is so obvious that it’s sickening. How are you not going to list Mary performance in the Best Performance poll? Oh, her performance was that same ‘ol thing. So, Beyonce half naked, rolling around on the floor and Jay-Z acting nonchalant about it is something revolutionary? So you think Fantasia was tacky by kissing Jamie, yet a half naked Beyonce can get slapped on the ass, roll around and hump the floor like she’s going into convulsions, but that’s sexy and cool? GTFOOHWTBS. I suggest that the staff start showing some objectivity and stop riding Beyonce so hard. Her performance was way over-hyped and most clear headed people saw that. Don’t get me wrong, Beyonce did a good job last night, but so did Mary. Young black music fans today are so quick to jump on the next thing and discard those that have paved the way. Mary is the Queen and I’m glad BET gave her two awards last night. You can love Beyonce, and still show respect for the other females out there doing their thing. You don’t have to put Beyonce on a pedestal and treat all the other singers like trash just because you want B to shine.

the awards were blah.
Chaka was the only highlight.
beyonce is not my cup of tea, so her performance wasn’t anything special.
calling her a legend is a bit much. the songs she churns out don’t match her talent. when she gets the songs up to par and shows LONGEVITY, then she is deserving of legend status.

Beyonce did not sing live at the super bowl and she did not sing live last night. She has said in the past her self that she didn’t sing live at the super bowl. She sang it the day BEFORE and they recorded it and she sang along on the actual day.
YEAH THATS RIGHT I SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She gave a good show, but she did not sing all thoes notes. Was she sing along with her own song while the CD played also. YES
Is she a good preformer? Yes. I’m not taking anything away from the girl, but it is what it is. Some of the best artist do it, and so does BEYONCE.

I don’t know what some of ya’ll are talking about, but I think Beyonce is great. Lip syncing or not, she KILLED it. I was a little shocked by all the movement and humping on the stage, but the girl does her own thing. She has a lot of energy and she always puts on a good performance. She doesn’t do the same thing that everyone else is doing and doesn’t care about being prissy and cute like say Mariah Carey (I love her though) on stage.
Mary J. Blige’s vocals sounded better than usual. I didn’t hear all the usual screaming. I actually liked the outfit except for the drooping crotch area.
I LOVED Chris Brown’s performance. I think that was actually my favorite or one of my favorites. The boy can dance and sing. The performance was overall great. I loved when we got inside that thing and it moved him over the crowd.
Busta Rhymes’KILLED it. I loved the energy on stage. I was happy to see Eminem on stage too.
I felt bad for T.I. I was a bit confused but I love him anyway.
Overall I think this was one of the best BET awards so far. Save the corny jokes of Damon Wayans, but he didn’t bother me too much.

I know this aint about Alicia Keys but in reference to what someone stated above, I believe she and her music are very boring, and her voice is sub par.
Fantasia and Jamie were whack!! Im still cleaning the vomit of my walls. We say Mary screams but Fantasia screams like a baby getting a chicken pox vaccine. That shit was horrible. She came out, screamed, left, then repeated.
Chris Brown was tight with the flips, he can show Usher and O a thing or two. And he challenged Usher to a dance off on the after show.
Mary was nothing special.
They did my man TI wrong.
Diddy was the worst hype man ever. Young joc performance was the worst I think I have ever seen.
Didnt catch Busta or Mary Mary.
The whole show was bad. I think it was much better last year. BET needs to just give up because I see no hope for improvement in the future.
Beyonce keep your head up these people will give you all the respect you deserve when youve been in the game 20 years. Becuase it seems to be the trend to honor and adore old celebrities no matter how little talent they have. *Coughs the name Janet under breath*

Beyonce: Tina Turner called… She wants her act back. I thought the song was called ‘De ja Vu”, not “seizure”, “crack head” or “let’s go crazy”- ???
Damon Wayans: Marlon should have hosted the show. I notice they tell jokes that are degrading and unfunny. I could tell he knew he was wack, he did not get any laughs.
Kanye West: I know his date, she used to be married to a football player, I was their sons teacher. She know how to get em.
Busta Rhymes: Loved it until they brought Stank Shady onstage-why were they crowded around him like he was the messiah? He’s wack ! He looks like bologna and raps like he is listening to an Aerosmith song.They could have done better if they had moves choreographed instead of just standing there like “what to do?”

My 5 cents:
Bey and Jay was just as someone posted earlier a remake of CIL from the song lyrics to the dance performance. I think that when she performed CIL that show was so HOT that we all expected to see her top that and she didnt. I am not her biggest fan nor do I hate her so I will just call it like I see it. The whole bootie shakin thing is so 3 yrs ago-lets try something else, that was cute when you were barely legal but now you a grown ass women lets step the game up a little.
Jamie’s performance was ok, I think he can really sing but Fantasia really didnt serve a purpose in that set and I like Tasia.
Keyshia is my girl and glad to see that she soften her look a bit. Wanted her to really tear the house down cause that girl got some pipes-RAW talent, no vocal coaches and all that just pure God given talent. She didnt give me what I wanted but I think she was still good.
MJB is the Queen of Hip Hop Soul for a reason-shall I say more, but I agree she could have changed the outfit, wasnt feeling the catsuit but the boots were hot and I mean it in a good and bad way cause this is June.
Chris little a@@ can dance and sing. Ush betta step his game up cause it looks like somebody is coming for his throne. I thought he did an excellent job and you could tell he was actually singing cause of the feedback with him dancing.
Young Joc and Diddy-Still dont know about that 1.
Did anyone notice the shi% look on Rhi Rhi’s face when Monique cut her off to address Bey? Maybe I read too much into that.

I saw someone say they have never seen Beyonce lip sync nor does she have too……..
You know nothing about singing..let me enlighten you as a vocalist…. the MTV awards when Bey came out the ceiling uh she was lip singing get your tapes (LOL) out from that show and review. In last nights performance when Bey snapped her neck back but was still singing, thats totally impossible to not hear her voice jump a little in the mic. Let me put you on….what vocalists do when they know they are going to be dancing alot, they record the track over days before and switch up the vocals a little to give people the illusion of “shes not singing it the exact way the record goes so she must be singing live” Janet has done this for YEARS! To further add to the illusion of live singing they turn the mic on certain times so that she can acually hit a note or 2 to make it seem like she has been singing the whole time. Hence… the above you tude video… when she was jumping with the band and the song was about to end, her last “deja vu” the mic was turned back on. I am sure it was turned on other times but that was the one that stood out to me. OFCOURSE Bey does not have to lip sing, we all know that, Bey is no joke with the vocals but that doesnt mean that she doesnt do it. When you want to give a good PHYSICAL performance thats what you do. Everybody does it especially those that dance alot. Its okay (relax & breathe ya’ll stans) Bey is still great at her craft sometimes you need a little help so that you can get your dance on and not sound toally out of breathe….jeesh

I definately agree with #28
her performance was mediocre wasnt impressed with her singing either.
her claim to fame only started when she was booty shakin and oh oh dancing. giving lap dances. she’s definately over rated.
I remember when people like whitney,,vision of love Mariah was putting it down
Maybe its just me but i prefer sisters who can actually sing now a days like Tamia,Debroah Cox, Vivian Green,Jill Scott,and my girl Heather
but i forgot they’re not pussy poppin so……..

ANGELAAAA!!!!! u r too HILARIOUS!!!! get out of my head….lol….u basically said what i was about to.
I didnt see the award show only the performances : Beyonce n Busta on youtube
Beyonce on the floor did not surprise me, she is always on the floor….whether it is crawling or just lying dead there….like somekind of insect.
I didnt feel like she was dancing either just acting crazy jumping around and what not.
Don’t get me wrong she looked nice but wasnt that the same outfit she wore in Check on it Video and the hair from Work it out video? She needs to come up with something new. Where did her butt go? The performance seemed like I have seen it before–too crazy in love-ish.
Y is it ok and sexy for her to be on the floor n no one else?
BUT i see BET took pointers from MTV and added the moshpit….they are so unoriginal.
Damon was always corny to me…the whole Wayans family actually.
The crowd went wild for Bustas performance. I’m glad Eminem was there, they, the audience, acted like he died and ressurrectd again tho…lol…maybe cause he has been MIA for a min. Where was DMX crack head ass? I was so gladd to see Rah Digga. Busta always puts her on. I like her for some reason…she seems madd cool.

Wish I would have seen Chris Brown…I’ll catch him on one of the many re runs to come….
Best performance…hands down, Busta…I mean that’s what he does…he entertains…I have to admit, I was hype all the way through until DMX didn’t come out…but you forgot all of that once EM came to finish it out…that was hot!!
And Beyonce…I do like her…but I think people need to stop hyping Bey up every time she shows her face…there wasn’t ANYTHING different between last night and any other performance with her and Jay…she also did the same dance at the Usher concert…she just needs some updated choreography…and to gain the ablity to look “out of control” without being literally out of control…I mean can you imagine what she swept off the floor with her big hair??…ew….I did peep how they left out his first rap verse…she sould have never let him talk about chicks he bagged and how he’s hurtin “that” on HER single….f that
When I first heard DE JA Vu, i felt she over sang it to a point that it would be hard to top live…Overall, it was a good performance something she always does…but nothing special…
And she didn’t lip sinc…the band wasn’t live, but she was

NICOLE U ARE ON POINT!!!!
Beyonce lipped 90% of that performance. I’m a fan of hers and have studied and watched her performances for years. Any human being would be out of breath or you would hear a change in the vocals because of all that movement. She was lip- syncing to a pre-recorded track and it was more than obvious to me. I must say she gets props for fooling so many who cant even tell lol. She didnt have ANY adlibs. Didnt sing or say anything when Jay was out doin his thing. Didnt hype the crowd up or speak to them at all during her performance. Something she does all the time when singing live.
Re-watch it folks and get ur news. Mama is a talented lip-syncher!!

Beyonce is SEXY for days and whatever she does on stage people will love but damn Shakira should teach her how to move them hips.
I’m not a big fan of all this upper body movement and head movement for dancing, I like to see hip and waistline movements like Shakira

this is really funny, seriously.
people invest way too many emotions in these comments, and really start looking too deep into this stuff. like, I sit here and I read how mad and upset people get, when it’s really not that deep.
everyone’s entitled to their own opinions. express yours but stop trying to change people’s minds. have your opinion, express it, move on, and don’t get so swole in the chest over it! it’s just the internet!

Beyonce: Yes she lip synched and could she hire a REAL choreographer. All that booty popping and hoe hopping was . . . boring.
Busta: KILT IT (yes KILT, not Killed). Bringing Shady on that track was an excellent choice.
Diddy & Yung Joc: Like Busta said in his interview last week - Diddy should be headlining the group WACK MC’s
Keyshia: She looked better than I expected with her ghetto a$$. Sounded aiight. She can’t really sing any better than you or I could in the shower. Extra points for TRYING to look classy tho.
Overall - the show had its entertaining moments. Next year? Let the people posting these comments host. They’ll certainly be an improvement over D. Wayans.

It’s funny the other day a white corperate co-worker of mine made a negative comment about Bey’s grammar.
Then BET present this!!!!!!
Bey’s performances are becoming so predictable. I’m not gonna front the colabo between her and Jay is nice. Unfortunately, all that bouncing around the stage can be done by anyone! Call me hateful or too mature and old-fashioned but she needs to expand on her talents. Take up some guitar, piano, cello lessons something. I’m not too thrilled about Jay slapping her on her ass on national TV like that either. I playful or not, checks my fiance when he slaps me on my ass in the supemarket, mall, whatever. That was tacky. I know this is Bey’s offical fan site, but she is becoming the black Marilyn Monroe of Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe had a reputation of being tight cast, uneducated, and always seen as a sexual object. Matthew and Tina should be proud, they pimped their daughter to the jewish heads of Hollywood.

I Tivoed the show, and pretty much fast forwarded all of Damon Wayans hosting it. I knew he would be wack. Anyways, TI, who I usually loved, was NOT good. E’rybody else was a’ight. My fave tho was Chaka Khan and nem. Off the hook!

Damon Wayans should never host another show.
Prince was the best and Busta
Beyonce I was not feeling the dance routine,the outfit or the hair.But the girl can sang her ass off. Maybe I was looking for a differnt dance routine, its like she is doing the same dance steps over and over again.
Oh yeah Janet Jackson can give Beyonce a run for her money. She also sangs live and is a better dancer. I love Bey but Janet is the true star.

MISSNEWYORK, you are on point. Beyonce being a legend? one of the greatest? Ha, don’t make me laugh. I’ll say she’s like Usher, they’ll be famous for their time period in music, but a legend that will live on forever, I think not. Y’all ride her hard.
I’m not saying the performance wasn’t good, I’m just saying there was nothing like *slaps hands to face with mouth wide open and eyes popped out*
Oh and Usher got some competition. I can’t wait.
Busta’s performance was definitely good.

Beyonce a legend hell fucking no see shit like that is what makes people mad not her necessarily a legend is Etta James, Michael jackson , Aretha. Beyonce has a long ass way to go. And yes she DID lipsync some of the performance she has done it before and ADMITTED IT.(oh and the band was not live are you blind) I am a big Beyonce fan so I am not gonna lie. But other than that the performance was good.

Brian. Thank you for making that comment about people gettin so hot and bothered bothered in the commentary section. I mean damn..do you feel that strongly, like these are your blood relatives or something. I mean its okay to have an opinion, but to sit in front of the computer almost in tears over therese celebrities is utterly ridiculous.
Mary Marys performance was really nice. Loved that song.
Beyonce and Jay-Z performance was really nice as well. No matter how much yall dont like Beyonce one thing you can’t deny is the girl has the “it” factor. The voice is there, the performance is there, she’s got it.
Busta’s performance was nice as well. LOved it!

You know nothing about singing..let me enlighten you as a vocalist…. the MTV awards when Bey came out the ceiling uh she was lip singing get your tapes (LOL) out from that show and review. In last nights performance when Bey snapped her neck back but was still singing, thats totally impossible to not hear her voice jump a little in the mic. Let me put you on….what vocalists do when they know they are going to be dancing alot, they record the track over days before and switch up the vocals a little to give people the illusion of “shes not singing it the exact way the record goes so she must be singing live” Janet has done this for YEARS! To further add to the illusion of live singing they turn the mic on certain times so that she can acually hit a note or 2 to make it seem like she has been singing the whole time. Hence… the above you tude video… when she was jumping with the band and the song was about to end, her last “deja vu” the mic was turned back on. I am sure it was turned on other times but that was the one that stood out to me. OFCOURSE Bey does not have to lip sing, we all know that, Bey is no joke with the vocals but that doesnt mean that she doesnt do it. When you want to give a good PHYSICAL performance thats what you do. Everybody does it especially those that dance alot. Its okay (relax & breathe ya’ll stans) Bey is still great at her craft sometimes you need a little help so that you can get your dance on and not sound toally out of breathe….jeesh
COSIGN
IMO her performance was mediocre and yes these people don’t tknow shiit about singing I guess they think these people are singing live in the Music Videos. You forgot to add that when she fell to the floor during falling she was still supposedly singing. Yes she has lipsynced many times before VMA 2003 anybody we know she can sing but sometimes she chooses not tooo now we all know what she sounds like live. And please people are hating people are only talking about her performance.. I guess when you can’t argue with someone then they call you a hater, becuase they do not know how to make their point.

I think this one took a step down this year, it had much better years. I really wish they had a better host.
As far as performances…I wish Janet was able to do her new song. That would’ve been a really nice act. I guess I expected a little more from Beyonce and was disappointed. I hated her outfit, the body gliter/art and metallic was super tacky. As far as the lyp syncing, I believe it was only the last verse. Hoewver!, she did lip sync though but that’s okay…who really cares. And I think it’s just the single that people aren’t feeling.
T.I.’s: I thought it was nicely done. Yeah the F’ed up the audio but he really had me feelin’ the slower flow of “what you know.”
Chris: He was cute, I appreciate his young sillyness. And I’m so glad he won over Ne-Yo. After Ne-Yo did thoughs ratings about people on air, I think he put his foot in his mouth. He said that Chris does nothing he can’t do, but I think after last night he’ll take that back. How dare his unattractive ass sit and rate people (giving them lower ratings than he gave himself) who are doing much better than him. I’m glad he didn’t win because it was a reality check.
Jamie & Fantasia: I love Fantasia but Jamie still doesn’t hit it with me. Sorry, his vocals suck.
Busta: THE BEST! I was excited to see Lloyd Banks and Eminem turned it out man. Will-I-Am did his thing too.
Yung Joc and Diddy: This was a great relief…I LOVE YUNG JOC. I think they killed his audio as well, and as much as I can care less for Diddy…he was fun for the short period of time. The way the went back & forth together was really cute. I know a lot of you are saying this could’ve been left out, but I don’t think it was meant to be a “major” performance. Come on now, Yung Joc’s single has been number 1 for some time. I think his shine was well deserved. He had fun! :0)
Keisha and Mary J: Keisha did well, it’s always good to see improvement with someone’s talent. Mary…..boring and I hated her outfit.
Chaka Khan Tribute: One of my favorites, I watched it back (via DVR) this morning. I loved seeing Prince move. Yolanda has some pipes man, but I wish Mary J. had done Sweet Thing. India Arie, she is hot. Beautiful voice and hot body. Chaka is just beautiful, I loved seeing her back in the day shots.
Not to be here all day but I noticed someone mentioned the Mo’Nique and Rihanna thing. Yeah I think Mo’Nique did cut her off purposely. I think it’s time she get over the “skinny vs fat” thing she got going on. No one’s stopping her from losing weight (if that’s really what she’d like to obtain).
And oh yeah, Janet is beautiful!

#136, when have I ever called anyone on this site a hater? LOL that’s not even a word that I used in my vocabulary. secondly…I don’t argue with people on this site because I don’t see the point in it. I offer my comment and then I stay out of it. I refuse to argue with ANYONE on this site - that’s unprofessional.
however, when someone addresses me personally, I answer them. when I comment, I give my opinion, I move on. there’s no point in arguing with random people that at the end of the day, do nothing for me.
again, I state that it’s so funny how people get so butt-hurt over these comments. it’s REALLY not that deep. I don’t see what people get all upset about.

Yes you people look toomuch into shiit umm Monique wa not hating on Rihanna WTF> Beyonce did lip but not the entire performance or (I could not tell bu tthat is the whole point of lipsyncing) Anyway so what yes she lipsync and sing to backtracks but she has done it before many times and she said it herself. She is not Whitney Houston for gods sake.
Yes I also agree with the Brian being biased towards B but hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Harry’s speech was great and the Chaka tribute was nice too and Busta killed it too.
Fantasia IMO did good.

Sorry guys, but Beyonce was lip syncing to a live performance track. Janet, Britney, and most performers do it that to focus on their dance during the show. There would be no way for her to be that physical and never have to take a breath! Listen to the differences in her voice at the Jay Z concert sunday and the awards. You can clearly tell that when she sings live she puts her body into it. There were none of her trademark adlibs during this performance. It’s not a bad thing, she just did it to make her show better. Hell, Chris Brown should take notes!

Valerie
Wednesday, June 28, 2006 /
I’ve got to admit that I hyped myself WAY up for the show and was HELLA disappointed in the end
I think the BET 2003 awards were the best to date….
I think Beyonce’ str8 SHUT IT DOWN….no questions asked…lolol… I think the reason for her rolling on the floor the way she did was to make it coincide w/the song…. Her Body was loosing control! lolol… LOVED IT!
I actually liked Jamie and Fantasia’s performance… The last few times I saw Jamie perform live???… I really didn’t care that much at ALL for it…. But, I truly think he stepped it up a bit… They claim the kiss was supposed to be a “peck” but, they claimed they got “caught up” in the moment… LMAO @ Jamie having a lil slobber in the left corner of his mouth…(eww)
It was wonderful seeing the whole Good Times Fam together again… I kept thinking James was gonna pop out the back and say…”Now JUN-YAH™…yall cut all that nonsense out”….lolol Everyone looked great especially, my girl Janet… Very Classy….
Busta was definitely my 2nd favorite performance… I think Em made up for DMX’s HIGH (up up to the sky) ass for not being there…lol Very H~O~T! And speaking of which?… That was a WISSY PISSY performance he pre-recorded…lolol
I think the Chaka tribute was cool, as well… I wished they would’ve sang more “dedication songs” to her, tho… I was hoping someone would sang…”what cha gonna do fuh meeeee… whaaaaa cha gonna do fuh me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”….lolololol :-p
Lil Chrissy did great… I like that lil guy… “I think that I should start by saying…yoooooo hoooo ooohhhhhhh”…lolol
Mizz Cole did awesome until she got to the end of her song..lol.. Poor thing… Got worn OUT by her OWN song… lol… **SMH**
Okay….I think by the time TI came on I was probably on the 3rd blunt…lolol… How about I didn’t even realize they “messed up” his song until, it got towards the end when I heard the music coming back on????? I was like…DAMN TI trynna do a lil acappella??? WOW! lololol ahahahah @ me… (still lololol @ me)
Young Joc’s performance S~U~C~K~E~D!!!!!!! No…I take that back…lolol.. It SUUUUGGGGGGGGGEEEEDDDDD! lolol… I really, really get SOOOOOOOOO annoyed @ rappers who Lip sync rapping…UGH! I thought I was watching “put put put puttin’ on the hits..doo doo doo doo doo”… lolol (my old school folks remember that show. :-p)
I think Mary J’s performance was okay… I think she just went in and was like…”look? imma do my junts and nothing extra…Iain trynna dance, shake my ass or nothing…just sang…if you don’t like it? BITE me..I’m the QUEEN”…LOLOLOLOL!!! No seriously tho… I think she was playing it a bit low key….
I think Mary Mary ripped it! I love those ladies….They can truly sing you to tears….Very heartfelt performance…
It was so wonderful seeing Harry B… He’s such an important figure in African American history…hell, more than that…American History…. And, he STILL looks great! ~DAYLIGHTCOMEANDMEWONGOHOME~
And LAST but NOT least…. That damned Damon Wayans!….. You know?… at first, I really thought Damon was gonna do pretty good… I thought the nukka was gonna go back to his old school roots and bring the heat w/his comedy…Turns out?… He has gotten CORNIER THAN A MOFO!!! Dag! He was the most GOD AWFUL host I’ve seen and heard THUS far, my friends…lolol.. The ONLY good thing he did was read from the damned prompter… lolol.. If he tried to toss in a corny ass joke or 2???..BOOM!!…Crickets chirpin’….. And, what was up w/the remark he made about Biggie? lolol WTF? You can’t GO on the BET awards crackin’ jokes (at least those kind) about Biggie’s tongue (lololololol) and expect to STILL get love… And, on top of all LAT? The joke wasn’t even funny…UGH!!! I just wanted to toss a Giant powder puff @ him and just WHITE his ass str8 off the show…DAG!
Welp…that’s my gist of it all….:-p

ok so i saw chris brown n jamies performance and i have to admit that chris browns performance was the best by far that i have seen that night….or in a while. pretty creative with going to the fan section and getting a girl …flying across the audience. it was so cute. i loved it…i was so nervous for him tho….but he did great!! i feel like a proud mama…haha..i can imagine how his mom must feel …but was that girl prepicked? she didnt seem nervous at all and new what she was doing. but eh..it was good!!!
jamies was boring as hell. i thought it would be better. fantasia screams way too much. she doesnt realize she isnt in church. also she was like an annoying gnat. when she left or when back stage she shouldve stayed there. when she came back out i was like damn!!! like brian said …y was she there? such a waste of time.

LOL @ some comments about Bee & Jay-Z — yeah we ALL know that she can sing, lip-sync, whatever she does. We don’t need to hear it 50leven times already — but I forgot this is a board. Anyways, her performance is hot, including the female band.
Jamie & Tasia’s kissing scene, CW already took the words right out my mouth. If it was Bee & Jay-Z….yeah
Busta & Chaka’s performance was hot. Big Congrats to Chaka for the award. And I agree with somebody saying that she needs to lose weight. She got the money she can spend it on a health doctor or get one of the delivery foods that Janet had. Homegirl was losing weight in 4 months? Shiiittt don’t know how she done it, but she did.

First of all Damon sucked ass. They should have Kat Williams host the show next year he would be hilarious. Mary rocked it, Beyonce did her usual, Busta was so hot, I shocked myself because I was overly excited to see Eminem and I’m not even a fan. I just don’t understand why Keyshia had to sing that damn song, she really needs a new one out…..but did anyone see how she bout busted her ass on stage, that would have been the highlight of the show cause the show wasn’t all that great.

Co-sign
Anyway I love me some Jamie Fox and I love his singing. Prince is my favorite as well.
I thought Beyonce and Jigga look so good together. I love seeing them on stage and the way he checks her out. It’s a great entertainment. I love Beyonce and am so glad she is doing her thing. Good for her. If the white man can do it so can she.

oh yeah and I was looking forward to jamie and fantasia’s performance and it sucked. It was just horrible. There really was no need for Fantasia to be on stage she just came and screamed, kissed Jamie, left, and then came and screamed some more. But for a minute there I thought Jodeci was about to come out.

Here it goes:
Pre Show:
Tigger and Julissa- Why haven’t they been fired already? They are ridiculous.
Letoya Luckett- Disappoints me every time, definitley not a star!
Cherish- They said ” and one day we’ll be excepting our awards”. Optimism is an understatement!
The Show:
Beyonce: As a singer myself ( whitney Houston-ish type voice w/ no vocal training whatsoever) I always give B her props! But last night’s performance was a lackluster one for me. I was expecting much more! I’m a pro at telling if soomeone is lip-synching, singing with the track, or singing live. Honestly, I felt she was lip-synching… then I was like it can’t be this is B!, then when she got on the floor acting all crazy like, then I was totally convinced that she was lip-syching. That doesn’t take away from her talent. She is still unprecedented!
Jamie and Fantasia- I loooove Jamie Fox, but after seeing their ” Clive Davis grammy party” performance I was abdolutely disappointed. I was waiting to hear Fantasia do her thang, I love to hear her go crazy… but she didn’t. The kiss was pointless after that.
Mary Mary- What can I say but CHUUUCH!!!
T.I.- I’m not a fan so I won’t comment.
Keysha Cole- I stay rooting for that girl! Her dress was soooooo horrible. It made her look old. Her voice sounded like the record. Her voice gave out towrd the end but hey.. noones perfect. That’s what you call raw talent.
Mary- I love, love, love me some Mary, but that lady stay walking and dancing like a dude. She has zero grace( and she doesn’t seem to care). I liked her better during her second performance( with Bus).
Chaka Kahn Tribute-
I appreciate Yolanda, but she doesn’t have the same affect singing secular as she does singing gospel, her performance didn’t move me. I love India, but she didn’t do it for me either. Miss Chaka did her thang! Her voice sounded wonderful. stevie was great as usual. Prince was awesome on his guitar!! I just wish I was in charge of the talent. I would’ve gotten Mary for sweet thing, Whitney for I’m every woman, Beyonce for tell me sumthin good. Pattie Labelle for through the fire, and Chaka for my funny valentine.
Chris Brown- Talented Kid!
Neyo- Almost forgot about Neyo….UNFORGETABLE. He’s a writer not an artist!
Diddy and Young Joc- Why was Young Joc lip-synching??? Is it that hard for a RAPPER? c’mon! Other than that I enjoyed watching him, I love his style and swagger. Diddy could have got lost after the first hook!
Last but not least, the best performance hands down:
Touch It Remix:
FIRE!!!! I was sooooo hyped. It was crazy. Each time everybody came out to do their verse I got goose bumps. Then when Eminem rose up- that killed it! It was the absolute best!!!!!!!
Overall- The show was ok. whoever hired Damon Wayans should be cleaning their desk and packing their bags right now! I was expecting so much more. Can’t wait for next year! lol

Here it goes:
Pre Show:
Tigger and Julissa- Why haven’t they been fired already? They are ridiculous.
Letoya Luckett- Disappoints me every time, definitley not a star!
Cherish- They said ” and one day we’ll be excepting our awards”. Optimism is an understatement!
The Show:
Beyonce: As a singer myself ( whitney Houston-ish type voice w/ no vocal training whatsoever) I always give B her props! But last night’s performance was a lackluster one for me. I was expecting much more! I’m a pro at telling if soomeone is lip-synching, singing with the track, or singing live. Honestly, I felt she was lip-synching… then I was like it can’t be this is B!, then when she got on the floor acting all crazy like, then I was totally convinced that she was lip-syching. That doesn’t take away from her talent. She is still unprecedented!
Jamie and Fantasia- I loooove Jamie Fox, but after seeing their ” Clive Davis grammy party” performance I was abdolutely disappointed. I was waiting to hear Fantasia do her thang, I love to hear her go crazy… but she didn’t. The kiss was pointless after that.
Mary Mary- What can I say but CHUUUCH!!!
T.I.- I’m not a fan so I won’t comment.
Keysha Cole- I stay rooting for that girl! Her dress was soooooo horrible. It made her look old. Her voice sounded like the record. Her voice gave out towrd the end but hey.. noones perfect. That’s what you call raw talent.
Mary- I love, love, love me some Mary, but that lady stay walking and dancing like a dude. She has zero grace( and she doesn’t seem to care). I liked her better during her second performance( with Bus).
Chaka Kahn Tribute-
I appreciate Yolanda, but she doesn’t have the same affect singing secular as she does singing gospel, her performance didn’t move me. I love India, but she didn’t do it for me either. Miss Chaka did her thang! Her voice sounded wonderful. stevie was great as usual. Prince was awesome on his guitar!! I just wish I was in charge of the talent. I would’ve gotten Mary for sweet thing, Whitney for I’m every woman, Beyonce for tell me sumthin good. Pattie Labelle for through the fire, and Chaka for my funny valentine.
Chris Brown- Talented Kid!
Neyo- Almost forgot about Neyo….UNFORGETABLE. He’s a writer not an artist!
Diddy and Young Joc- Why was Young Joc lip-synching??? Is it that hard for a RAPPER? c’mon! Other than that I enjoyed watching him, I love his style and swagger. Diddy could have got lost after the first hook!
Last but not least, the best performance hands down:

Okay, let me start off by saying that the 2006 BET Awards Show was alright. Damon Wayons was not that great of a host. On to the performances… I’m not a huge fan of Beyonce but she and Jay Z rocked it. Loved their performance. I love T.I. but hated his performance. The music was all wrong it sounded like funeral music to me. Busta’s performance was hot 2 death! Vivica’s dress was very pretty! Chaka Khan!!!!! Ah man what can I say except it was just so cool, but what would have put the icing on the cake is if Whitney had been there and come out on stage and perform I’m Every Woman with Chaka that would have been just classic. I hope next year’s show is much better, I hope to be there!!!!!!

Bey is so overrated. Just like other people commented she has been doing the same thing for the past 3 years. Her dad must have paid BET to let her open up the show b/c that song is wack. Janet and Nelly new song is so much better, they would have been better letting them sing.

A lot of people are kind of disappointed with B’s performance, but most must realize that she’s a singer and not a dancer, as folks like Janet and a few others are dancers and not singers. B’s performance reminded a lot of Tina’s performances. There are not a lot of people who can actually sing and dance at the same time. The exceptions? TLC, who practiced that way because they thought you were supposed to perform like that and Usher. I’m sure there are lot of them that do, but not many.

Ok, overall I thought the BET Awards was alright. It got really boring towards the end, though.
And, BET really should have known better than to EVER have a WAYANS host anything. That family hasn’t been funny since In Living Color.
Performance…
Beyonce and Jay-Z: I’m not a fan of the song, and even after that performance I’m still not a fan. Those dance moves she was using were wack, recycled from Crazy in Love, or just plain stolen from other artists. Someone said it earlier, but I Bet Shakira got a good laugh looking at Beyonce trying (and failing) to out-latina her. And I bet Keily from 3LW is PISSED that B straight ripped off her spasms-on-the-floor routine and got PRAISED for it. As for the singing…I’ll admit that Beyonce has good vocals—she does– but I have to cosign with that earlier poster who said that there’s NO WAY Beyonce could have done all the moving and shaking and throwing herself on the floor and not miss a single beat. The best vocalist in the world couldn’t do that—it throws your air-pipe out of alignment. Sure, you could still sing, but there’d be little skips from all that movement. One thing you can’t hate on, though, is the energy B brings to her performances. She just doesn’t stop moving.
Christina’s performance of Ain’t No Other Man was much hotter, though.
Chris Brown: I’m not a fan of his voice when he’s in the studio, so you KNOW all that dancing he was doing had him sounding like a frog…which he did. That boy sure can dance, though. And he’s a little cutie. I’m just going to need all these GROWN ASS WOMEN to get off of his seventeen-going-to-the-junior-prom jock.
Jamie Foxx and Fantasia: Vocally, it was good. I think Jamie’s a good (if hugely overrated) singer, and he knows how to work a crowd. Fantasia, on the other hand, needs to calm herself. Don’t get me wrong, I love ‘Tasia—she got my votes every week on American Idol—but she’s going a little overboard with the soul-growl thing she does when she’s singing. She needs to calm that down a little and let her real vocals shine through.
T.I.—NEXT, but it’s not his fault.
Diddy: Ok, I’m going to need Diddy to quit thinking he’s THE shit. Because as of lately he’s only been SHIT.
Mary J Blige: Her vocals were nothing special. Very bland. But I do have to say this: Mary STAYS shopping at the swap-meet. Everything she wears looks like it came straight from Ling-Ling’s Good Quality Fashion Boutique at the Crenshaw Swap-Meet.
Keyshia: Erm, sorry, but this hoe needs to sit down. See the commercial for her reality show? Thinking she’s the real deal. Bitch NEXT! She couldn’t even get half-way through her set before she lost her breath. And WHY was she trying to do the ‘I’m really from the hood’ bobbing and weaving thing while in a DRESS and HEELS? Very tacky. If she wanted to perform like that she should have borrowed Mary J’s one piece denim catsuit.
Mary Mary – Put all these hoodrats to shame.
Chaka Tribute: Best of the night.

I’m watching the Red Carpet show again - and why are they showing videos from the past and adding all this extra “106 & Park” talk between interviews. It was two hours too long and unnecessary commentary. It needs to be one hour long and strictly professional interviews with the stars. Next year eliminate the constant star plugging - it takes away from your status by plugging (Master P, Avante…)- you’ve already made it people that’s why you are there. Tigga and Julissa’s “yo-yo-yos…and constant yeeaHHs” should be left for 106 & Park.

Man I couldn’t post my damn comment…
Basically I didn’t get 2 c the show cause I was @ the show backstage & it was fuckin chaos.
I did see the beginning til after t.i. performed & since I was like 2 ft from the stage…imma say I think beyonce wasn’t fully live. Her performance was cool, it wasn’t like amazing or nothing it was whatever. I am now more convinced then ever that beyonce & jay z r simply a show. And beyonce is a robot…she constantly had a cult smile like she has one emotion…it’s funny.
T.I. that’s my man, he did his thing regardless of what happened. When he got off stage he was cool. But I do think he was upset cause after he changed 2 go back 2 his seat he was talkin about kicking ass & takin names.
Um there was lots of tag a longs or “entourages” bein annoyin & n the way
Jennifer hudson or whatever her names is seems 2 have an stank attutide….she just seem 2 b walkin around with a diva like aire or something…she needs 2 chill
I talked 2 hoopz @ the t.i. & friends concert that everybody & their mama was @ & performed @ monday night & that girl’s slow..lol..nothing 2 important happened durin that conversation
Um…I don’t remember what else I wanted 2 say. I pretty much saw any & everybody, 2 many stories.
& if my other comment appeared then sorry 4 the repeat

Dammit Bey…u making it EXTREMELY hard for bitches to hate on u!!! I LOVE that woman now…I’m so happy they had her open the show. I taped it and I keep rewinding and shyt!!! Jay tapped that booty…that was too cute!!! Bey did the damn thang on the real…I am so proud of her!!!
When Janet worked out…I was actually speechless…she looked great!!! and so did Bernadette Stanis!!
Jamie and Fantasia were def. HOT!!! I had seen the rehearsal pix but when they kissed…LIVE…I heart dropped…it was so SEXY…
I’m glad mah gurl Taraji and mah Baby Terrence won for best actress and actor…but where the hell were they at?? and why didn’t they present the award to them??
As for Damon…I Love me some HIM!!! But u could tell mah boi was a little nervous…okay…A LOT!!!
That’s about it…the show was a bit boring this year except for JAYONCE n JAMTASIA!!!
Okay…what the hell is up wit Keyshia Cole tryna get her 15 minutes fame?? I can’t lie I’ll probably be watching her ittle reality show or what not but WHY???
Anyone catch the pre-show?? Letoya Luckett reminds me of a mix of Golden Ham n Michelle Williams…n from the side she looks like kiely from 3LW…she’s pretty though…she was singing kinda…weird!!!
And another thing why was T.I. singing that song so slow…I wanted to throw something at the tv. I wish he would have sung “Why U Wanna.”
Last thing P.Diddy gets on my damn nerves!!! Asking can he get a round of applause for the sound problems…he ain’t nobody!!!
Eminem did good…and y didn’t Missy come get her award?? maybe she came late cuz she sure did perform.
And Mary Mary n Yolanda Adams did very well as did Miss Chaka!!!
Aight…I’m gone…FOR NOW!!! lol…

i guess people either loved or hated the Beyonce performance. i am one of those that hated it.
I didn’t understand why she was shaking so wildly. The dance moves didn’t seem to be choreographed AT ALL, and she wasn’t singing live. Draging yourself across the floor don’t equal a good performance. Next time she should tell Shasha to stay at home. Also..the band wasn’t playing I kept looking at the girls on the keyboards and their hands barely moved. They were just there as props & they coudln’t even get the dances straight.
Best Performances were Busta & Chris Brown. I give HIM (Chris) props for dancing his ass off AND singing live. Bey needs to go back to that (ala her performance last year).
wow@talking about issues of color. color has nothing to do w/ bad performances, rehearsals do.

Beyonce was just too sexy, the best performance of the night. She definitely raised the bar for performances.
I thought Janet Jackson showed a lot of love to the guy that played Michael, but she could have cared less about Bernadette and Jimmy Walker. Janet is looking so good.
I love Prince, but winning best male artist was a shock. Even he was surprised, but the man is talented, he will be discussed centuries from now.
Shocked that Yolanda sang a secular song in public, but she did an awesome job.
Jamie and Fantasia’s kiss was off da chain and it seemed very real and intensed. I am sure Jamie took of some business after the show.
Busta’s performance also was off da chain, I love his creativity, he is like a male Missy Elliot.
Mary J. has some serious rapping skills, can not wait to see her in Hampton Roads holding down the mic.
Chris Brown and Ne-Yo are on their way to doing great things, I truly believe they will carry the torch and resurrect R & B.
I hope Damon’s performance in Little Man is better than his gig as a host of an award show. The man sucked big time.
Do not know about you all, but I actually thought Diddy had a slight case of stage fright. I think his performance days are numbered.
Chakka was da bomb!!! Love her to death. A true legend.
Keisha was not that great, but she was better than the last time I saw her.
LAst but not least, Beyonce has solidified herself as a true entertainer. I have nothing but the utmost respect for her abilty. That young lady made me excited. Jay-Z is so lucky. Beyonce’s performance are so physically demanding that I will not be surprised if she is in wheelchair when she is older. Everytime I see that Crazy in Love video and see how she hits the ground, my ACL starts to ache. I did see her in an interview and I can kind of see why some you guys dog her out, but proper speaking is not a sign of intelligence. I have seen articulate folks do some of the dumbest things and folks who can not ennunicate well outperform their peers. Unfortunately, people look at style instead of substance. Beyonce has a lot substance and will go down as one of the top performers in music history, not just R & B, but music history.

Hi Evereybody!!!!! First let me start by saying that I am now officially hooked to this site, lol. Ok now for the show…
I expected more from Beyonce’s peformance. Dont get me wrong, she did her thing but I thought she was gonna rip it! She was jumping up a little too much for me towards the end though, lol. And for all you dancehall ppl out there, did ya’ll catch Beyonce doing the DUTTY WINE??!!?? LMAO, I was soooooo shocked!!
Damon, Damon, Damon…Now you know it was bad if my moms is sitting there telling me “Wha kind ah foolishness di bwoy deh ah chat bout? Him nuh mek mi laugh yet!” (Keep in mind that it was already a hr into the show!) Who they should have had was Dave Chappel. That would have been great!
I STILL loved T.I.’s peformance. They screwed him over with the audio but he kept doing his thing regardless. The organ in the background gave it that underground soul. Shhiiii, I was still bopping to it, audio or not.
Chris Breezy is my little man-man! He’s definetly a force to be reckoned with. Im just trying to understand why he was bigging up wack ass Ne-yo? He can sing & all but he has no type of swagger and his attitude needs a little work. It’s good to see two black young men uplifting each other though.
Love Keyshia & Mary, hated their performance
Hate this new Busta but that performance was F I R E!! I dont know why I didnt expect all those people to come out but it shocked the crap out of me, lol. And Im not a fan of Eminem but whoever even thinks about saying his joint was wack is a straight hater cuz that verse he spit was crazy!!!
Love the friendship between Harry Belefonte and Danny Glover. His speech was very empowering. I hope black people will take heed to his message and not just take it as another great speech. (This is also the part where my moms confessed that she had a crush on Sydney Portier…)
Chaka and the clan looked great! She is such a beautiful woman, inside and out. But guys, did anybody catch the “Black Carpet lounge” after the show when my girl Chaka and Busta gave each other a peck on the lips??? I think homeboy got a thang for Ms. Chaka…
Overall it was aight. To me, the only thing that got better were the performances. I actually like last year’s show (overall) better. Hope BET get it together for next year.

My 2 cents, Beyonce… anyone who says that there wasn’t a backtrack involved is not in the business. No adlib, indentical/exact to radio version= lip sync. I was a skeptic until I seen her hit the floor. There is no way you can coordinate a prefect note, you would have to have a rest, unless she is this God amongst mortals half the people think. It’s not an insult, this is real talk.
A legend? Have to disagree. The only legend on that show was khan and Harry. to be a legend you have to do something extraordinary. Her voice is good, but not out of this world. It has not contribute to the growth of mankind or our race, been done. Whitney broke the field she is in and Bey has yet to live. She’s only 25 so we don’t know what the future holds for beloved.
and Secondly, if she can be mimic what’s so great about her voice quality. If ol girl down the street can sing just like her, is she truly the best. I research what’s out there in music. When Beyonce can sing in a flageolet (whistle) register, that’s above E6 like Amel Larrieux, Minnie Riperton, Mariah, and even Christina, then we can talk. Real talk.

Sorry wasn’t impresed at all with Beyonce and Jay Z. Her performance was forgettable. the song is nothing irginal and I think she even sat in the audience watching other people like… “damn, does anyone remember I am here??”
I like Busta’s performance.
A little too mature to enjoy Chris Brown and Keiysha Cole righteously.
Mary J. I thought was average. But I LOVE Enough Crying to when the beat dropped for that I was feeling it….
Chaka’s tribute was SUPERB. How fly is it to see Prince and Stevie jamming together???? PRICELESS…
Janet looked great… and Thelma was holding her POCKETBOOK ya’ll not a purse ! =)

LMAO!! I just read some of these comments about Beyonce lip singing and uh… Im sorry but she HAD to have been lip singing after she did the DUTTY WINE!!! (For all you non-west indian/dancehall ppl, that is the dance where she is gyrating and turning her head aroung in a circular motion while moving to the side, lol)
There is no way you can freak that dance PROPERLY (I cant front, she did it to the “t”) and still sing on point without gasping. Shiii, I cant even talk and do it, lol. But for real, people in Jamaica and Brooklyn have DIED (and im not joking) from doing this dance! Especially if you doing it right you will, and trust me on this one, at least have some neck and back pain when you wake up in the morning!!! The girl can sing, but she didnt do it last night…And please, if you have never did the dutty wine please dont tell me I dont know what im talking about. Try doing it for urself and see. Bet ur ass will find out then! LMAO!!!

KEYSHIA I DON’T LIKE HER BECAUSE SHE IS SO ROUGH SHE DOESN’T REPRESENT LADY TO ME AND HER VOICE SOMETIMES ANNOYS ME. T.I. DID A GREAT JOB MR. KING OF THE SOUTH…. BUSTA AND THE CREW WAS HYPE ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE END WHEN EMINEM CAME OUT I WILL ACTUALLY GIVE THEM THE BEST PERFOMANCE OF THE NIGHT. CHRIS BROWN AND NE-YO MY SEXY BROTHERS DID GREAT.
BUSTA AND CREW WAS THE BEST THEN CHRIS BROWN THEN BEYONCE AND JAY THEN NE-YO THE YOUNG JOC DIDDY SHOULDA JUST LEFT THE STAGE THEN T.I. MARYS PERFORMANCE I DIDN’T ENJOY THE MUCH

Apparently some moderators can’t tell if the girl lipsync but yeah she did If you know ANYTHING ABOUT SINGING YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT YOU CANNOT FALL TO THE FLOOR WHILE STILLSINGING A VERSE. YOU HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO NOT KNOW THE GIRL WAS LIPSYNCING>I DON”T GIVE A DAMN HOW CLASSICALLY TRAINED SHE IS>
But anyways don’t too much care for that song.
Anyway the awards itself was okay kind of boring this year I am actually waiting for the VMA’s but anyway Monique was the best host she should comeback next year and lipsync B’s song LOL like B did.
Anyway Keyshia was cool ya’ll be dogging her but she can sing.
Mary j Killed it.
Busta obviously had the best performance.
Janet wow now that is what I call thick.
Chaka was good
Harry =legendary.

Thats a lie ‘natalia’ Beyonce does NOT have one of the best voices of our time, I dont know how old you are, but thats DEFINITELY BOGUS!!
She lipsynced believe it or not, she didnt dance on the floor humping the ground and still singing on key… Mary J…Keyshia… Mary Mary all sang live both moving around and sang full notes, Beyonce didnt NOT once do that, because she was singing to a record with a fake band, she was the only one lipsyncing with a fake bad! I’m done arguing about it, she has no talent, shes a pretty face and nice body, with Jay-Z by her side, shes overrrated point blank, enough said.
How is my opinion a “lie”. Beyonce IN MY OPINION has ONE I didn’t say THE BEST I said ONE of the best voices of our time. You can hate on her all you want but the girl can blow and trust, she will be around for a while so get used to it.

I feel sorry for younger people who have no idea what a real performance is. This year’s show as mediocre at best. So many people complained about Beyonce’s gyrations…but it is hardly an insult to be compared to Tina Turner or anyone from that era. That’s when folks knew how to sing and dance and tear up a stage. When you see untrained folks like Keyshia Cole wheezing through a performance because she doesn’t have breath control, you understand the difference between someone trained (B) and someone not (just about everyone else.
I give props to Prince, Chaka and Stevie for holding down the living legends but I was waiting for Prince to break out a classic so the end was a letdown.
Busta has always been one of the best performers in hip-hop. T.I. was not just done wrong by the soundman, he was done wrong by duplicating last year’s performance with a live band minus Sheila E.
I’ve never seen any host of any awards show in history get as bad reviews as Damon Wayans but he deserved them. The fact that he made ghetto ass Mo’Nique seem good by comparison tells you something.
I love seeing successful black folks get together but this year lacked energy and true star power. P. Diddy really looked out of place on stage and Young Joc had no stage presence whatsoever. Mary’s performance was one of her worst this year and I’ve seen most of them thanks to Tivo. I just think that’s a great radio song, but not a great live performance one for her.
I hope BET can step it up next year, this was CEO Debra Lee’s first awards show but they need to institute some quality control for next year.

my comments on the show was very hot and for everyone that dont want to give fantasia and jamie the props for what they did you aint nothing but some haters to me and why would yall want to put the performance on fantasia that what jamie wanted her to do and if it was either one of you that he to come up there and do that part you will.Fantasia will make it without the people like yall that always have sonething to say when she do something.But like the person said before if it was beyonce and jay-z everything will be alright but that kiss was the shit she just wasnt the right person.The show was good and everybody performance was great accept keshia was out of breath and puffy need to stay out of his people he produce music but joc did good because he from the atl and Ti was wonderful they couldnt stop him even thought they mess the music up.

WHOEVER ON HERE SAID BEYONCE HAS ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF OUR TIME IS CRAZY.
2 WORDS: WHITNEY HOUSTON.
ONCE AGAIN I said ONE OF THE BEST. Damn mutha fuckas can’t read these days? Of course Whitney is in that category, along with Christina Aguilera, Yolanda Adams, and a select few others.
Get off it, I never once said Beyonce has the best voice of all time. Reading is Fundamental.

Beyonces performance was the best performance, and she was not lip-synching, you have to be an idiot to think that she was lip-synching; Her performance was amazing.
Mary J sucked, shes boring and she is not the best singer
Keyshia cole, thought she did ok but shes boring, no excitment or stage presence.
Busta’s performance was really good and i liked the energy.
The tribute to chaka was real great
I actually like T.I’s performance, despote the technical difficulties.
Ne-yo-boring, no excitment

Everyone did well to me. I think this was the best so far. Jamie, Beyonce, and Fantasia proved they are really tramps. All that is not neccessary to be sexy and make a good performance. I am a fan of Beyonce and her performance was hot as well as Jamie’s and Fantasia’s, but is it neccessary to have someone hit u on your behind or kiss u onstage? Not at all. They should carry themselves with more respect. And I can’t believe someone said Mary J sucked. Her voice is not great anymore but she got down.

You should watch it again cuz she WAS lipsynching and NO she does not have one of the best voices of all time the girl is not even mentioned when real singers talk about Range and power. Don’t kid yourself.
and none of her biographies says she is classically trained that’s a DAMN LIE>

i just wanna say that as far as the arguemt goes about who’s voice is better BEYONCE or ALICIA or anyokne else for that matter…THESE ARTISTS ARE HUMAN TOO….they have good days bad days and better days….i think that alicias voice is sometimes extremely on point and then other days not as banging but the same goes for everyone beyonce included…im sayin just take a look at our legends like patti and whitney….IT HAPPENS..a person can not ever be TRULY perfect…they’re just human beings like u and i….PEACES

Whitney 5 octaves
Mariah 5 octaves
Patti 4 octaves
Christina A. 4 octaves
Shiit Kelly Clarkson has more vocal range 3.4 octaves

I missed the show and am glad that I did. I am not a fan of Beyonce but I think she’s fabulous and I love her and Jay-Z together. As for the greatest of all time? I’m still high from Gladys Knight’s performance from last year’s BET Awards show. Maybe I’m just getting old.

I don’t care what anybody says, Beyonce got on that stage and tore it up. I don’t believe she lip synced, but even if she did it was still her voice and it sounded great. I wanna see all the people who have negative things to say about her performance get on a stage and do exactly what she did and then say it was “mediocre”. That shit was a work out! I was over here wheezin just watchin her, lol. I was a fan before but I watched her performance and I was so impressed by her stage presence that she took me to another level. She has just created a new “stan” in me, lol.

Has anyone ever sung before, because its quite obvious Beyonce was lip synching. Someone said she is one of the best, ummmmmmmmm no, try one of the good or maybe on of the better. Listening is fundamental, go buy some real music (if u want a list there r many people here who will help)
And please when u r ignorant of a subject keep quiet because it just makes u look stupid

Who the hell is Cherish and why the hell do they have a record deal? Can’t sing for shit!
Letoya Luckett can get somewhere and sit down now. Its a rap. Another one that can’t sing for shit.
Was that tap on the ass supposed to convince the world of something? They still ain’t fooling me. Jamie Foxx and Fantasia have 100x more chemistry together than Jay Z and Beyonce. Jay and Bey just don’t look right together, nobody in this world can convince me she has let Jay even hit yet.
I need Keyshia Cole to stop singing Love live immediately! How you gonna be sharp through the whole damn song, and so out of breath she was bout to pass the hell out. She still my girl though.
Yolanda threw down! But she got some gospel fans mighty pissed off right about now.
Oh and Chris Brown could get it! Twice a day and four times on Sunday.

Mary J. Blige was the BEST performance of the night hands down! All yall hating and talking about screaming, when did she do it? Its’s called a squall, what REAL singers do, something Beyonce could NEVER do with her gimmick ass, LOL @ yall TRYING to discredit a woman that has been in the game over 15 years and is crowned the QUEEN of hip hop & R&B, where is the logic? Mary is the last REAL singer around from the old school breed, NONE of these new bitches can compare to her vocally, successfully, lyrically, mentally and definitely not spritually, Mary KILLED it and the whole audience knew that )Even beyonce nappy wig wearing ass), thats why they ALL were to their feet, Stop hating on someone that is a millionaire and got WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more money than you and she sing a billion times better than yall, where yall record deals? Where yall millions? Why yall broke ass didn’t win the most awards for females last night? LOL, broke bums hating on the QUEEN!

Chris Brown was on point, I loved his performance as well.
That was a hell of a kiss with Fantasia and Jamie Foxx, Mmmm, it was very intriguing, yet good! I liked that performance.
I liked when Em came out… that was tight.

Reading IS fundatmental. You may want to do that. They CLEARLY stated that your opinion of Beyonce being “ONE of the best [...] of all time” is wack. They both acknowledge that you said she was ONE of the best and call you on THAT.
Just saying.
You’re entitled to your opinion…however wrong it may be. Bey doen’t even fall in the top 30 of all time imo.

Yall stupid you act like she was rolling around on her head jumping up and down singing. She laid on the floor kicking her legs while singing then she put the mic down and shook her head. Why is that so impossible? Patti did it, so why can’t Beyonce. She has a great voice no need to lip sync. You could tell that her voice didn’t change forom the time she said BET are you ready then she started singing haow wasn’t that live. It’s like people can’t give her credit you know that was all live. It aint that much faking in the world. And if she was going to do some major dancing she would have worn a head set. She had a mic b/c she focused on singing. You guys are so silly when she was doing the vast of dancing it was during the chours with the backing track but when she sang she mainly did arm and leg movements. I’ve watched that performance over and over and I’ve seen her lip syn when she was ” Live in Wembley” she didn’t sing “YES” live and you can tell the difference but this wasn’t the case. SO I guess Jay Z, Chaka and all of them were lip synching too? Give it up. People say she needs to show move vocals and she does and now she has to be lip synching. That girl just finished Dream Girls do you now how much that built up her voice? Her father trained her at 3 to sing and run at the same time so she won’t get and sound out of breath like Mary J. and Keyshia did that night. What she did was not impossible. And yall need to stop with the rolling around on the floor she laid back and kicked her legs. I swear us Blacks need to quit hating on each other. I guess all of you will be glad when they totally take away the BET’s, and have all the Lindsey, Jessica’s, Hilary’s take over all of our singers. B/c all yall do is Hate, Critize, and complain. That’s why it’s so hard for us to get somewhere. I never hear of white’s hating on their artist the way we do. All we do is hate and compare. It’s so pathetic and sad. And I’m ashamed when I come here. Well I give it up to Beyonce b/c she is 24 and doing more than all of us, b/c if you were doing more than her you wouldn’t be on here hating. Never have you heard of her in the club stripping, fighting her parents, shoplifting, on drugs, drinking, or sleeping around with everyone in the industry after 10 years you have never heard nor seen that. But let yall tell it she is a whore, tramp and fake. Why can’t she just be genuinely nice? You guys really need to give it up. It’s sad. Appreciate these artist before we are left with country and Pop. Yall over here complaing about someone who proved herself as a real singer years ago. What about Cherish and their horrible performance? That is what yall need to be talking about.

Where yall record deals?, I doubt that it’s everyone’s goal on this site to become a singer. And being a millionaire does not equal perfection. I just don’t get it. Yawnnnnsssss Ignorance is truly bliss I tell ya.

It’s funny that Chaka, Steve Harvey, Whitney, Patti, Stevie, Luther,Smokie, Eartha, Monique, and all the newer stars give Beyonce so much credit, they already consider her a Legend but yall brokedown people got the nerve to diss her and say she isn’t even in the top 30 of our time. She is one of the only singers of our time that has been at the top of the game after 9 years. Lets make a list of who she is better than of our time. Starting with artist coming out after 97 She is better than Mya, Brandy, Monica,Amerie,Aaliyah ( RIP) but half the people but her on a pedastal b/c she passed away. I miss her but be real vocally she wasn’t good but she could dance her butt off. Anyway, Letoya Luckett, Ciara, must the list go on. She is the girl people love to hate.

Why is it that we start to tear our people down when they get on top? Please tell me how many of you commentor’s really can get up there and do half of what Beyonce did? She may have caught the holy ghost for a minute, but she always put’s 150% into her performances. I am a fan of any artist that takes the time to put a show together. You are hatters, cause it’s obvious B had a back track to cover the background vocals, you all know that that that girl can SANG! I’m really disappointed how we as people tend to bring artist down after we put them up on a pedistal, B is human just like we are. I loved all the performances. I could have done for a different Host, but I thing Bet is well aware of that.

@218
The recent trend for record companies signing R&B acts is strongly influenced by looks, talent still plays a part but now looks seem to be just as important
Take Shanice for instance, she came before this batch and if u r old enough u should know that this girl can truly sing. Tamia, beautiful as she is, got into the business because she truly is talented. En Vogue were signed because all four of them were capable vocalists, who could have had their own solo careers. Alicia Keys is one exception to the rule
I can go on but I’m not sure how old u r, because judging from this statement u probably never heard of these artists before.
Like I said earlier there are many commentators who would gladly give the younger ones a list of CDs to buy so they can hear what R&B was like before artists felt the needed a rapper to produce a hit.

O.K. I FINALLY read all the comments so far…
There seems to be some inconsistencies among US
Beyounce MIGHT’VE lip-synced BUT it was still a good performance
Jamie and Fantasia performance WAS great and Jamie was even better by himself !!!
Chris Brown was exciting, I KNOW the young girls were enjoying the hell out of it!!!
I didn’t SEE the Chaka tribute or the Busta performance BUT I believe Y’all when you say they BOTH were Great (Will make sure to see this Friday!!!)
Damon was HORRIBLE and whoever decided on him NEED their ASS WHOPPED for real!!!
And Keisha Cole NEED to be called-out for her performance of her OWN song the way she did at the end!!!
And Mary been in the game TOO LONG to STILL be sounding that bad during these award type shows!!!
The personal High-light for me WAS Janet Jackson’s ASS when she walked on stage w/ the “Good Times” cast… Absolutely Beautiful!!!!!
My JAW dropped and my dick started throbbing when I SAW that girl’s Ass

i hope that that shoe was proof that keisha cole has no staying power. she blew her voice out… i know her throat was hurting… just like steve harvey said… she on her 14th minute.
Damon sucked.
B did too much
the audio was soooo wack… but damon wayans was wacker
love mary mary… but ole red bone should NOT have been sleaveless.
best performance touch it… and i don’t even like that song… Busta aint original, the hook is from daft punk he need to give the correct peeps they props.
the show overall - underwhelming.
but i love chaka khan… and yolanda and india were amazing… and her bald head didn’t premire on jay leno. there is a youtube vid of her performing at some park in NY the day after she cut it.

So first of all im like ignorantly late, but I still have to add my two cents.
Beyonce- Im a fan, so I liked it.
Damon Wayans- WACK BEYOND MEASURE. I was literally embarrased for him, it was awaful. “Hated It.”
T.I.- The fact that they fucked up my baby’s audio is unforgivable, but he won in his category so he was redeemed.
Jamie and Fantasia- I mean WHY? She was an irrelevant addition to the performance, and she was not singing.
Janet Jackson- Her head was a fool but she was killin that dress, I was like get it Penny.
Chris Brown- Reminiscent of a B2K performance, but I like him so I could appreciate the performance.
Keyshia Cole- Hated the dress, and she was boring, lost it at the end too.
Busta and crew- HOT, loved it all. DMX would be the one to fuck up the vibe and not be there, but Eminem made up for that.
Mary J- Um I liked it, outfit was a fool and that ponytail. Im just glad she didn’t start all that yelling and actin a fool.
Yung Joc and Diddy- First of all Diddy is too old, have a lovely seat. I thought this part was irrelevant.
Mary Mary- Loved it.
Ne-Yo- I believe I took a quick nap, he was hella boring.
Chaka Khan- Loved it. However she was mumbling her own words, or was I the only one who noticed that.
Harry Belafonte- I can only pray to look that fabulous at 70, he has aged beautifully and I loved the speech.
Prince- Loved it. I love me some Prince.
Overall I was real disappointed, I think I hyped myself up too much.

There is always so much talk about Ms. Beyonce Knowles…….
Beyonce is an entertainer and everyone would have to admit that she does her job well. She works her audience with the poppin’ and lockin’ and gyrating and catchy lyrics. She appeals to the teeny-boppers and those of us who appreciate MUSIC (ie. lyrics and vocals) will NEVER love Beyonce.
Maybe one day Beyonce will become a legend, who knows? Maybe one day she will develop her voice to the true DIVIA-RIPPING-THE-MIC status and blow us all away. But now? NEGATIVE, she doesn’t do it.
She’s sexy and she knows it and the girl is smart as hell to use that to stay on top of the pop (not R&B) game. Hell little girls want to be her, men wanna do her. She’d be stupid not to.
Now, I’ll be waiting patiently for the music industry to convert back to what it used to be in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. A time when a pretty face and sex appeal aren’t tickets to record deals.
ANYONE COULD LOOK SPECTACULAR WITH THE HOLLYWOOD MAKEUP ARTISTS, HOLLYWOOD STYLISTS AND HOLLYWOOD HAIR STYLISTS.
Talent is a priceless gift.

Damn was Damon Wayans really that bad? (I didnt catch the show live, I’ll have to wait for the repeat). Everyone from everywhere I’ve heard said Damon Wayans was absolutely terrible. Now I’m scared to watch, I’m going to be embaressed for him the whole entire time lol. So there was not 1 redeeming point? Like, at least one funny joke or comment…something? Dang thats a shame. I pray for Chris Tucker to host next year, love him #177 >>> Thats because anything that has a speak of Beyonce on it will have the FanBoys & Girls getting down on their knee’s worshipping the Holy Blessed Virgin of God, which causes everyone (who is otherwise sane) up the wall, and than the “Concrete Loop Beyonce World War IV” breaks loose. Its just a natural process of life, lol
Beyonce keep your head up these people will give you all the respect you deserve when youve been in the game 20 years. Becuase it seems to be the trend to honor and adore old celebrities no matter how little talent they have. *Coughs the name Janet under breath*
Okay I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Janet Jackson is the one that has little talent and Beyonce Knowles is the legend. I really have heard it all now, lol Damn, it doesnt take much to impress some of ya’ll does it?
The definition of “shit on lock” back in the day wasnt about no hookus-pookus bullshit. Take away the fancy stage sets, the pyro and other special effects and you’re basically left with nothing. Being a good performer is more than just gimmick (anyone is capable of that). If you cant entertain without those props backing you up, how really good an entertainer are you? All of Michael Jackson’s concerts contain nothing more than his stand up microphone, and yet he still can leave you mesmorized after the show is over. How many of these acts today can do that? But no, I guess I’m just one of those old-fashioned people who rather give “old celebrities” their well deserved props because they have “little talent” next to these so-called ‘innovative’, water-downed predecessors!
But now it seems, to have memorable performance, all you need is your mans smackin yo’ ass and its “OMG NOBODY CAN MESS WITH HER!” My have we lowered our standards, lol I was already criticizing her performance before I even saw the damn thing because she/it was that predictable Lmao. The Baddest Bitch of All Time was, and still remains, Janet Jackson. (I would love to see Beyonce try and do Rhythm Nation, really I would).
And I know the Stans are all lined up and ready to pounce with their vaseline on their faces, giving me the “she’s old” or “time has past” defence (as usual), but I welcome them because it shows your lack of respect for your elders. It just makes you look real young and hyper lol You jump up and praise when an artist is on their nineth album; not sophomore.
I think somebody in here asked to see if some people on here can do what she did. Shit, put me on a fucking stage! Because what I saw wasnt really that complicated, and I dont think that wobble-wobble move she was doing is called dancing, lol. She was doing the same Humpty Dumpty moves she was doing in Check On It — and it left a very bad taste in my mouth. I will be *completely* honest with you — I have no reason to lie — as far as the “new generation” goes/went, I like Aaliyah, Mya, Ciara hell even Britney Spears much better than Beyonce.
***AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO READ MY LONG ASS POSTS, REFER TO THE BOTTOM FOR A SUMMARY***
How to know you’re not a legend:
1. If you were nominated for best new artist less than 5 years ago, YO ASS IS NOT A LEGEND!
2. Destiny’s Child recieved a Lifetime Achievement award last year……….for what? Something about best selling girl group? Well whatever it was for, I just dont consider half of a decade the equivlent of a lifetime. But so since this generation has a short attention span anyway, I guess it fits.
3. If the artists who we’re doing renditions of your “classics” are not that much younger than you…YO ASS IS NOT A LEGEND!
4. If the artists who we’re doing renditions of your “classics” that came out a couple of years ago, YOUR ASS IS NOT A LEGEND!
Now, I fully give all the Beyonce FanBoys and Girls to come and get at me and beat me with a stick. =)

Shiit Kelly Clarkson has more vocal range 3.4 octaves
So good singer yes great singer no she does not have the power or range of none of those women I mentioned and not even Kelly clarkson.
Uh who gives a fuck about octaves? Mariah got 5 octaves and still be sounding LIKE SHIT on stage and she’s always standing STILL! She don’t dance, the most she do is a one two step and her voice be cracking so uh, that octave shit, don’t, mean, SHIT.

THAT PERFORMANCE LOOKE UNREHEARSED AND INCOORDINATED. AT ONE POINT IT LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS DOIMG THREE DANCES AT ONCE.
TYPICAL OF HER THOUGH EVERY PERFORMANCE SHE EITHER ENDS UP ON THE FLOOR OR WITH HER LEGS COCKED OPENED.
I’M TOO OLD TO ENJOY THINGS LIKE THAT. HER FANS ARE GROWING UP SO SHOULD SHE!!!

A few questions…
Uh who gives a fuck about octaves? Mariah got 5 octaves and still be sounding LIKE SHIT on stage and she’s always standing STILL! She don’t dance, the most she do is a one two step and her voice be cracking so uh, that octave shit, don’t, mean, SHIT.
1. Why does Mariah have to dance?
2. Do you honestly think Mariah Carey’s music is danceable?
3. Are we talking about classic Mariah here? To make a fair comparison, its only right that you compare Mariah when she was in her prime. Because ‘Vision of Love’ Mariah can and will shut it down.
Maybe do a search on some old school Mariah performances to get an idea on what I’m talking about. Than come with some of Beyonce’s [slow-song] performances and tell me Beyonce’s better. lol
What show was it when she performed Dangerously in Love? Grammys? Talking about I love you for 10 minutes…lol

I was in and out on the show (recovering from appendecitis surgery, spelling may be off, I am woozy, lol)
I digress…I caught Keyshia’s performance *light yawn*
Busta Rhymes..I was getting hyped and yelling out random ish like I was on the stage too being all schizo
Young Joc..lazy mofo didnt even lip sync his own song through! Lazy a$$ Just wanna dance
BTW..who told Diddy, Diddle Dee, Puffnstuff or whoever the hell he is that he is sexy? So unsexy. Horse mouth a$$
Mary, Mary…good, now I won’t feel guilty for not going to church Sunday. I got my Jesus in (lol, just a joke lawd!)
Chaka and nem…They performed very well. Why was Prince making those crack mouth moves though? Why when they were all together it made me think of the Chuck E. Cheese band? Hmmmmm

Wow, no matter how many songs beyonce writes, awards she wins, or millions she makes to some she has no talent. If she has no talent who the fu** are all these people buying her music and why and the hell is she getting paid millions to do so, and why is it whenever you look at a magazine, tv, or website is she on it? People wouldn’t invest this much time and money on someone so untalented.
I’m all for differences of opinions but when your argument isn’t backed with logic it’s null and void.
Beyonce can sing and so can mary, mariah, and whitney etc. but to say that beyonce can’t sing is outright crazy to me. Dangerously in love-have you not heard it? And when since having the ability to sing really high distinguished who is a great singer?
and the debate about her lip synching is outrageous-so what!!! She was lip synching to her own damn vocals.
All yall can say about that damn girl is that she is overrated, played out, barbie doll, puppet etc. it’s nothing but pure hate. It’s okay to dislike someone but to discredit them is another and it’s so obvious that many of you aren’t intelligent enough to know the difference. Have you ever had a heated debate with someone but yet still respected their point of view?
That’s because your opponent backs up their argument with some valid points not senseless name calling.
Love janet, but we all know that bitch can’t sing she is an entertainer and a very good dancer-I can’t knock her and no beyonce is not her equal, but she damn sure has the same it factor.
I’m not trying to change anyone’s opinion of beyonce but people please if you are going to say someone lacks talent and really mean it please disprove the obvious. Name calling and naming other talents doesn’t do this.
There is no way in hell beyonce would’ve gotten this far if she didn’t have talent-that’s why those girls in your church and around your neighborhood who can sing better than her are still there and she isn’t-Hello!
No one still has named any chick out here bey’s age that’s hotter than her, alicia keys is talented but her and beyonce are on two total different levels-bey’s making movies, commercials, has endorsements, clothing lines, and her stage presence and performance outshines keys. I enjoy alicia as much as the next person, no bey isn’t better than alicia but two completely different levels.
I know someone is going to have something to say, but name calling doesn’t move me nor do I personally care but if someone wants to logically explain to me why beyonce isn’t really talented or really can’t sing-I’m definately interested in reading your post.

to reply to “nicole’s statement” I see what you are trying to get at-package the product right and it will sell-
no matter how much promotion a performer may get or who is standing beside them when it comes time to perform if you don’t deliver the goods-fans aint buying it.
I also kind of get where you are going with the beyonce lacks passion thing to- but I would have to disagree with you, was that not passion during her performance of “dangerously in love”? She may not have had the same struggles and heartbreaks that come with age or environment, but the girl has passion maybe not as much experience as mary, keisha, and india arie.
But to keep it real…..
mary and keisha scream and crack alot during live performances-I love em both got both their cd’s but you know it’s true. India Arie aint even got the same vocal range but she is in a category all by herself any how-she’s spiritual and uplifting(love her too).
I’m not saying bey is better than these other chicks-but all of us have to admit she’s got the “it” factor
Even if we disagree on whatever that “it” is.

Bey was not lip singing at all. She was hype with it! I like when she paused and Jay Z tapped that ass.
Busta’s groove was on point. He had me hype with different rappers coming out, then TURNING UP! But, what the hell was Mary J doing? I was like I’m so glad Missy on Stage..
In fact, I found Mary’s performance very dull. When she started rappin, I was like” WTF, where the hell is Eve?” Eve is the only chick out there that can rap like a n*gga and keep that shit sexy!
I like when Eminem came up all creatively stupid. I was like “Go white black boy!”
I thought Fantasia did a good job. I just didn’t like when she sang too loud, cause then I couldn’t understand shit. I don’t know why Jamie decided to kiss. He keeps his lips of a lot of women, but what was the point Player. Jamie did okay, but his body language wasn’t hype enough and had me looking at him as a newbie. I was like ‘damn Jamie you can sing but you can’t perform…” The pic above shows Jamie sucking on Fanta’s bottom’s lip, give it back dammit!
Prince was funky. I was shock though when I saw a black girl on stage. I was like is she lost, but when I heard her skills I was like FINALLY PRINCE GOTTA SISTA ON STAGE.
Chris Brown could dance but his voice was a little flat, yo! I’m just glad to see someone who can do better than Usher, Neyo is an imitator of Usher and contradicted his songs to I love the way you touch me to I’m so sick of love songs, I’m like are you gay…I think Chris Brown dances differently and sings very well.
Boring performances **yawn** Mary J., Keshia Cole (off note, slow mo & slow), Diddy Joc looked really retarded. I didn’t think they were good, just nice clothes with a bounce,
I didn’t know what happened with T.I. bc everything sounded off. I was like why is he talking so “s-l-o-w” wtf fuck is wrong with those other n*gga’s behind him, what are they saying, everything was off. T.I. kept going holding down his own shit, by the time they fixed it, I didn’t want to hear it…If I were T.I. I would have told my niggas to shut the f*ck UP and just rock that shit solo.
I don’t know how Damon did, but I believe he was cheesy, his tv show is cheesy, I think Damon lost his black, we should have gotten someone else to represent.

My point is Beyonce is not known for her vocal abilities like WHitney or Mariah. Seriously when people mention Beyonce they don’t say oh she has amzingly ridicolous vocals on musemusic which is a site that talk about real singers (opera singers) who have 8 octaves and 7 and 5 etc. They don’t mention no damn Beyonce it would be a laugh.
But Mariah
Whitney comes up
and Patti and Christina comes up occasionally too.
So whoever said she has one of the greatest singers ummm you must be the only one that feel that cuz REAL singers don’t and music critics sure as hell don’t. They even say her vocal skills are strong but it is definitely not in the league of the multioctaves Divas.
As far why the church girls are not famous
(you know how hard it is too get in the music business)
Kelly clarkson can sing and she was not famous before AI. some don’t even want to be in the spotlight like that so give it up please.
B even said herself that she lipsynced before so I guess she was lying. Please do not make a comment on her lipsyncing if you dont know SHIIT about singing cuz she was not the entire performance but some of it.
octaves are highly exxagerated if Mariah had 7 octaves she would be able to sing as low as Barry White.LOL.

Yes it was her voice but it was PREREcorded and not LIVE there were no breaths or none of that when Patti does that she breaths and everything.
To call Beyonce a legend is a SLap in the face to those who have been in the game for over 20 years. She will definitely be a future legend but she has a long way to go.
When Off the wall came out No one was calling Michael a legend and he was in Jackson 5 for years before he
went solo.
And to say she never lipsyncs SHE ADMITTED IT you can’t get passed HER SAYING IT HERSELF and you obviously did not see the 2003 VMA or the MTV Europe Awards where the backtrack messed up and she did not sing the rest of the song (babyboy). Or her Wimbley concert where she performed YES and all of it was lipsynced.

B. Spears sold MILLIONS and had hit songs does that mean she is talented. Exactly
No one is saying she is not talented but like others have said she is NOT known for her vocal skills just like TIna Turner is not.
Mariah ,Whitney Christina, Patti are more noted for thier vocal abilities. but B is not point blank. That does not mean she can’t sing she is just not an Really great vocalist if she was than all the critics would be haioling her vocal skills.

great comments
but stop trippin about the lip synching it’s not a big deal, let it go please. We all know that she does it obviously after the numerous posts, I personally didn’t know or realize it, but again we also know that she is lip synching to her own vocals.
and as far as her vocal ability not being that great, if I had half of her vocal abilities you wouldn’t be able to shut me up-I personally think she has vocal skills. just my opinion though-glad to see nobody got ignorant.
love the site!!!

I forgot to mention that I am vicariously living through beyonce/sasha—So I am a bit bias
Who wouldn’t want to have a body like that- dance, sing, and kick those legs in stilettos, and look absolutely fabulous doing so while standing next to the hottest man in the rap game.
I guess she has blinded me with all the glitz and glamour, for those of you who don’t like her let yourself go for a minute and have a beyonce moment-
you might change your mind about her!

Damon-I am not suprised. I did not laugh one time for his intro stand up.
Beyonce-Abs Wow! She did not top her last BET performance. She has the potential to, but she’s doing to much movies, clothes, singing, etc, etc.
Good Times-That was the first excitment of the show.
Busta-Best performance of the night. Started screaming when SS came out.
Chris Brown-Usher watch your back!
Jami Foxx and Fantasia-Not impressed
Chaka’s Tribute-One of the top performances of the night.
Prince-Enjoyed the guitar playing with Chaka
Belafonte-Handsome Handsome Handsome
Vivica-Suprised that she looked good, not too much make-up
Mary J Blige-Deserved every single award she got. If Beyonce would have gotten anything for that ‘Check on it’ mess I would have been PISSED OFF.
The Show-Much Much better than last year’s crappy show.

ok, i re- watched the BET awards on my tivo and Bee was ABSOLUTELY lip-synching (or at least semi- singing with a backing track) over a newly- recorded DAT of the song. grant it, she has the sense NOT to come out and lip-synch over the studio version… but she CLEARLY was lip-synching. Maybe there was somehting “off” about her voice and that prompted the decision, because we know the girl can sang! Great performance though.

That skirt made Beyonce’s butt disappear; the outfit was wack. Sorry, but I LOVE the song. I don’t care that she is yellin her ass off, I still love the song.
Um, what about Ne-Yo’s performance? All I could do was think about Usher for some reason…
TI is hot, no matter what he is doing on stage (lyrics wise, he’s not that cute to me).
Damon was so dry.
Um…where was Ludacris? I wanted to see him and I didn’t…:(
Jamie Foxx really blew up, and Fantasia is nasty for giving him the tongue like that.

If Bey is so untalented; why did the legendary Luther Vandross(Lord bless his soulful soul) sing with her? It was sort of like Shaq, when he left LA, he wanted to play for winner, that was why he chose the Heat. I thought Luther felt the same way, he was not going to risk his legacy by singing with someone that did not have talent. Beyonce can sing to me any day!

WHAT THE HELL
Saturday, July 1, 2006 /
My 2 cents, Beyonce… anyone who says that there wasn’t a backtrack involved is not in the business. No adlib, indentical/exact to radio version= lip sync. I was a skeptic until I seen her hit the floor. There is no way you can coordinate a prefect note, you would have to have a rest, unless she is this God amongst mortals half the people think. It’s not an insult, this is real talk.
A legend? Have to disagree. The only legend on that show was khan and Harry. to be a legend you have to do something extraordinary. Her voice is good, but not out of this world. It has not contribute to the growth of mankind or our race, been done. Whitney broke the field she is in and Bey has yet to live. She’s only 25 so we don’t know what the future holds for beloved.
and Secondly, if she can be mimic what’s so great about her voice quality. If ol girl down the street can sing just like her, is she truly the best. I research what’s out there in music. When Beyonce can sing in a flageolet (whistle) register, that’s above E6 like Amel Larrieux, Minnie Riperton, Mariah, and even Christina, then we can talk. Real talk.
CO MOTHERFUCKIN SIGN.

How do you leave out Prince’s performance? - easily the best of the night and - along with Belefonte and Chaka Khan - the only class act on this ghetto extravaganza. Beyonce’s performance was bush league. Keisha Cole should have gotten Sandman Simms from the Apollo to dance her ass off stage - the worst singing of the night. Foxx and that hoochie Fantasia stank up the stage with that old negro “I want to fuck you tonight, baby” music that plagues what passes for R&B these days - Miami Vice better be good. And Damon Wayans seemed like he was drunk - and without one good joke.
