Check out the official BET Awards page for updates. Did you all know that last year’s show was the number one watched cable program among African Americans of all time? That’s impressive…
@ 104 miss chelly
You say its all bullshit now, but yet you support the foolishness they call college hill, which reinforces the animal stereotype. And the tomfoolery that is the wayans brothers and jamie foxx. You should cut off Bet all together no matter what your race is.
I wouldnt waste a precious minute on that garbage. How many shows of animalistic , simpin, cross dressing brothers are yall going to put up with until yall say its enough.
Read a book
Oh hell no I’m not watching Pharrell wasn’t nominated this year. Sike, I wanna see my boy Robin Thicke aka Robie get an award this year. AND, I wanna see sexy ass T.I. (hopefully he’ll be without Tiny). Mo’Nique is hosting again this year I wonder what crazy ish she’ll do this year.
I cant wait I’m so excited, I’m a semifinalist for the ultimate fan award, wish me luck
THANK YOU #27 THAT SHIT BURNS MY ASS. IT’S BET BUT SHOW SOME RESPECT AND WEAR A NICE SUIT…AT THE GRAMMYS THEY SLIDING DOWN THE RED CARPET IN THEIR SLIPPERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CIARA ALL THE WAY
Jay Z def mostly best hip hop artist all them other niggas Weexy TI he birth them specially Wayne the nigga stay on Jay Z dick look at his flow his album covers Jay all JZ and he is not hot with it he spits horrible phors I mean wtf his I am insane I need a shrink or I got more jewels than your Jewlers or I am retarted I have no brain plz
Th only two ppl who deserve to win in that category is Jay Z or TI
Get ready 4 a whack show. They do this every year they pick favorites. Where is monica, letoya, kelis? BET always saying how they support all the black artist and all they music but they jus’ like MTV. Why kelly aint nominated 4 best vid or anything? Her song has been out as long as beautiful liar.For best rapper I rwally think it should be Weezy if not luda. If they pick Jay-z they buggin’.
I don’t watch BET, but I have to say this is the one night of the year, that I actually do watch that channel. I thought last eyars awards were good. I thought they were better than MTV. They weren’t as splashy, bit the audience was much more into the perfomances and there was more variety. What I like about the BET awards is that you get the young folks, mzed in with the legends like Prince and Patti and Earth, Wind & Fire, and Chaka etc. Your not gonna get that anywhere else. And you even get a little gospel.
I also LOVE that they choose Don Cheadle for the Humantarian Award. I read his book on Dafur and it’s great. he’s been doin a lot of good work around that issue, it’s nice to see him get some long overdue credit!
Whoa look at all the people rooting for cici! HEll yes, CICI ALL THE WAY! She has work HARD as hell this year. She deserves ALL of the awards that she was nominated in, and some more! “Like A Boy” should def. win Video of the year, but knowing BET, it probably will not lol. I love bey ( though I’m NOT, and I repeat, NOT A FAN), but she didn’t do so well this year so she should be nominated for 6 award like that. I think BET is scared of her, very much scared of her.
whoops I meant Bey should NOT be nominated for 6 awards. it took me 30 mins realize the mistake lmao! I’m so out of it today, hahahahaha!

CIARA WORKED HARD BUT NOT AS HARD AS BEYONCE AND SHE DIDN’T SELL MORE THAN BEYONCE EITHER! BEYONCE BEFORE THE RE-RELEASE WAS IN THE TOP TEN BEST SELLING ALBUMS OF 2006! SHE WAS THE ONLY BLACK ARTIST ON THAT LIST AS WELL! I WON’T TAKE ANYTHING FROM CIARA BECAUSE SHE IS DOING HER THING! THEY DON’T CALL BEYONCE ” THE HARDEST WORKING WOMAN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY” FOR NOTHING! JENNIFER HUDSON, NEEDED ON THE ONE NOMINATION FOR ACTING! SHE DOESN’T HAVE A SINGLE OUT
OR AN ALBUM. AIATY DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A IMPACT ON THE CHARTS, WHERE AS LISTEN DID! I THINK BET IS JUST USING HER FOR RATINGS! THEY ARE USING HER AND BEYONCE! I HONESTLY HOPE BEYONCE DOESN’T SHOW UP FOR THE SHOW! CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE BUT THIS IS SOME BUTTERY BULLSHIT! THESE NOMINATIONS ARE RIDICULOUS! THEY NEED TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!
Wait, why is “beautiful liar” being nominated again?
PROMISE SHOULD BE ADDED FOR VIDEO OF YHE YEAR IT MADE CIARA GO PLATIUM IN 5 WEEKS CIARA SHOULD HAVE 6 NOMINATION AS WELL CIARA THE EVOLUTION CAME IN AT 338,000 FIRST WEEK OF SALES I HOPE BET DON’T PLAY CIARA
THE ONLY GREAT LYRICALLY RAPPER OUT NOW IS JAY-Z…PERIOD!!!!!
well, looks like another BET awards show i WON’T and REFUSE to see. what happened to awards shows man? Real artists get straight overlooked! BET awards might as well be known as the KIDS CHOICE awards now. Fuck BET, and if they were pissed about the Nas thing, fuck em.
how you gonna take a rererelease and put it in a catagory. bet is slippn. this is old music frum bey,last years shit to be exact. lolol cici has a brand new cd, that shit bey singing is old im not gonna watch, they prolly feel sorry for her because she lost the oscar. aiight wat eva and i aint hating. right is right and wrong is wrong
oh and #152, Nasir Jones is a great live performer, the G.O.A.T. on the mic, you heard? i’d kill to see him live again!!! If they had Nas, KRS-1, Rakim, and Kanye doing the song “Classic” with guests: Lupe, Papoose, Saigon, Common, AZ and Mos Def, (all on one stage) I’d piss on myself with excitement!!!!
test
I know 20 Y.O. flopped, but they could have at least given Janet one nomination for Best Female Artist or a nomination for “So Excited” or “Call On Me”. Dang! Now, I doubt she’ll even be asked to perform.
I find BET funny ’cause they nominated people like Jennifer Hudson and Corinne Bailey Rae for Best Female Artist, but let’s be for real….when does BET play Corinne Bailey Rae + what song does J.Hud have out besides that overrated Dreamgirls shit?
Not to mention “Call On Me” brought in some of BET’s highest ratings ever when it premiered, and “So Excited” did also on Access Granted. She also visited 106th & Park twice, where both videos were consistantly in the top 5 in the countdown. When has Corinne Bailey Rae ever been relevant or even present on BET? They only nominated her to prove some “We play all black artists!” point.
why my comments not being posted I posted 3 times did not come through?
@ #192 I think CL is sensitive they don’t like when people have a difference of opinion about Beyonce that is why. And some of my comments are not even about her they won’t even post it. I don’t care what anybody say CL likes to play favorites when it comes to artists we comment about.
And u know what is funny they let people post about how they hate J-Hud and they won’t let me post who I feel BET should have nominated like Letoya, Omarion, India Arie, Tamia, Janet, Nas and Fantasia, you are bunch of hypocrites CL.
I want ciara to win all 3 nominations,
If she dont well at least she win 2 or 1 of them
But i want ciara to win 3 of them not beyonce because she already got her bet awards in and mtv this is CIARA’S YEAR NOT BEYONCE and im not jealous either im just saying, she needs to take a break…
first off grow up and stop hateing on a 350 million dollar man don’t try and put jay down like he an’t up there with them num203 haters he laughing at yall BROKE asses he’s a great rapper with classic albums also he rapped with biggie,scarface,eminem,jada,dmx, he a great rapper quit acting like he an’t just cause u don’t like him now it’s been some dumb ass things said about him on here and iam here to let yall know go kill ya self especially tina’s dumb ass bitch go take ya 3 year old ass back to the play pin any way 680k first week sitting pretty at the top of billboeards hot 200 fuck with that jigga is a classic name in it’s self if he don’t win he still got grammy and awards so who cares?

@htownchic
ARE YOU SERIOUS? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE JAYZ IS THE BEST RAPPER OUT LYRICALLY! OUT OF ALL THE RAPPERS OUT NOW, DO YOU REALLY THINK JAYZ IS THE BEST? YOU SAID HE’S THE BEST LYRICALLY, WELL HAVE YOU LISTENED TO HIM WITH HIS BEATS STRIPPED AWAY AND HE’S TRYING TO CATCH HIS FUCKIN BREATH, PAUSING EVERY TWO SECONDS, THROWING IN A BEAT MACHINE TO HIDE IT AND TRY AND MAKE IT CUTE AND MAKE IT SEEMS HE PAUSED ON PURPOSE! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!! IF SO, THERE’S NOTHING ELSE I CAN SAY. I GUESS TO EACH HIS OWN, BUT I FIND THAT ABSOLUTELY LUDACRISS (NO PUN INTENDED) THAT PEOPLE FEEL HE EVEN HAS A LYRICAL FLOW. I LIKE SOME OF HIS MUSIC, BUT I CAN SEPARATE COMMERCIAL AND HYPE OF HIM FROM HIS ACTUAL LYRICAL FLOW, AND WHEN I DID THAT, I FOUND THAT JAYZ WAS VERY INFERIOR TO MOST RAPPERS OUT NOW LYRICALLY. AND HIS FLOW IS WHACK! BUT MY GUILTY PLEASURE IS I LOVE HIS BEATS.
Beyonce is such a copy cat. She released b-day originally the way she wanted it released. And because she is such a copy cat and in her haste to try to stay ahead of the game, she re-released b-day with latin tracks ONLY because J-lo released a latin cd (though it didn’t do well, but that’s not the point). I’m sure her marketing people urged her to do that because as you can see, this is the year of the latinos, and people are trying to get that market now. Beyonce is such a copy cat, and if she was really on it, she would have thought of that first, and their would have been some latin tracks on her original cd. Damn thief. She’s hard working alright, hard at stealing people’s shit. She reminds me of that sneaky bitch in high school that’s always hanging out in the corner just to listen to what’s going on and running back telling everyone else.
@168 Well peep game, they usually nominate songs/people from quarters after fall and winter, to let you know..in esque like Deja Vu clink clink last year?
I don’t care that Robin Thicke is white… my beef is he CANNOT sing!! Catch him live and see that he cannot carry a tune. It is painful to listen to him live. And he is NOT cute. He looks like a little nerd boy.
Well i believe that Jhud is a great singer but y in da hell is she nominated for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B of course she will get best actress but damn!! what about Fantasia, Monica, Janet Jackson, Letoya Luckett, Rihanna, hell even Kelly Rowland should of been nominated if thats the case of one damn song!!!!
but i think this is who will win!!!
1. Lil Wayne
2. Beyonce, or Ciara (Hopefully Beyonce, shes been on her stuff)
3. Lupe, Corinne, or Mims (better not be JHUD)
4. DUUUUUH JHUD
5. Best Actor is tough, but maybe Will
6. Mary j and Luda, if not B and Jay
7. Gerald Levert, Robin Thicke, or John
8. T6M
9. Not Sure
10. Irreplaceble or Like A boy
11. Dont Know
12. Dont know
13. Dont Care
14. Should Be Beyonce, Ciara , Or Bow Wow And C. Bro
It’s all good but that bitch beyonce is a fake as hoe, giving head to jay-z in a pool.

I’m so pissed that Kierra ki ki sheard wasn’t in the gospel artist nominees.
TLC new album
Don’t care about any dody else saying, but Letoya not being nominated is a disapointment. Is there a conspiracy? I would think so.
I am saturated wit Queen B getting every nod… Jhud best new artist… Humm, not sure.
Anyway, congrats to all the nominees.
This is what I have to say: the BET channel has at first kept it real with their awards giving major props to Whitney Houston and other talented people. But this year you have to really scratch your head to their nominees this year. Ok I know Jennifer Hudson sung her ass of in Dreamgirls but so did Angela Basset in Whats Love Got to do with it and so did Terrence Howard flowed in Hussle and Flow but you dont see them nominated for a music award only acting which they should. I feel that BET is trying more to be politically correct than just telling it like it is. Yes, Beyonce did have a great year but I do not remember seeing Upgrade U on the top 10 billboard hot chart. NE-YO’s cd just came out less than a month ago and Beatiful Liar has not even been on the 106 and Park list. If BET really wants to connect with black people start honoring those performers who we love and appreciate in our own community besides those mainstream overachievers that has already paved their way in the media. For example, Jay-Z has already had his time Young Jeezy or Yung Joc could of had that nomination or if they was really trying to honor the hip-hop veterans let us give it to Nas for really keeping it real. The only things that I am proud about these awards, which is hardly any i might add is the fact that Monique is hosting it and that Don Chedal is being honored and the best actor category is sizzling and Gerald Levert and Robin Thicke is getting the respect they deserve. Other than that, Beyonce’s typical award domination and BET’s random rediculous nominations in odd categories is a bunch of bullshit!!!!!!! But I will still watch it because hey… who really isn’t.
This year’s BET Awards show was a scam. Just look at the nominees and remember the repeats.
I prey that Ciara wins the Viewers Choice Award and Best Female R@B artist! I really hope she performs! I am a huge Ciara fan!
