Jennifer Hudson & Jennifer Holiday ON STAGE
—–
Tianna: Ok, I hinted that one for ya’ll in the Gearing Up For The BET Awards post, remember?! I knew these two would be performing together and what a way to open the show. A lot of people thought Ms. Holiday was bitter after “Dreamgirls” but, it was good to see her sing live with the young J.H – and they were just sangin’. They really got some powerful voices, and Jennifer Holiday got some fierce faces on stage too!
Angel: Jennifer Hudson can fucking blow!! I knew Jennifer Holiday was gonna come out. I gotta give them love for that. But my girl Jennifer Holiday looked like she was about to go into diabetic shock. All that jittering and stuff was crazy. And yall know that ending was drawn out, they could have left that home. Overall, it was good to see them perform together and dead all that drama.
Brian: Jennifer Hudson opening with “And I Am Telling You?” I’m sorry, I just didn’t really get into that. But the fact that Jennifer Holiday came out with her was really good. I was hoping that there was a twist to it and they gave it to me. But Jennifer Hudson messing up the words? That really kind of made me cringe when she screwed up the words to the song. The concept was really good, but I don’t think the opening was well executed. It seemed like it wasn’t rehearsed… especially since Jennifer Hudson didn’t get the words right.
MO’NIQUE’S BIG ENTRANCE
Angel: Mo’Nique is fly. I’m so happy LL Cool J didn’t diss her and helped her out with that shoe. The big girl dancers tore it up, but I actually think the 2004 performance was better than this one. Gotta love Mo’Nique though.
Brian: Monique is absolutely hilarious.
Tianna: She is so crazy. Yes, she is on Beyonce nuts but, her and them big girls be working the stage. I just love how she had the big girls posing in the back after the performance “getting their camera time”. And was I the only one who thought it was hot when sexy LL Cool J came up there to take off her shoe? I hope she shaved that day for that one…
T.I.P HIT THE STAGE
—–
Brian: I absolutely love T.I. As I said last year, his stage performances are always so theatrical. That’s what I love about him. He always has so much energy during performances. It’s like he can go on for hours and hours. It’s like he never misses a beat and he’s so passionate about what he does.
Tianna: It was ok. I’m not really feeling his material lately so, it was hard for me to feel the performance. I will say T.I is a hype performer with a lot of energy. It was funny when he left Yayo hanging on that dap and to see Diana Ross getting her big things poppin’…
Angel: I loved T.I.’s performance. He killed it. I liked how we went out to the crowd and gave love. He had everybody from Chris Brown to Diana Ross getting down. Much love to him for apologizing for his behavior earlier this week too. That was a good look.
NE-YO PERFORMED ‘SEXY LOVE’ & ‘MAKE ME BETTER’ w/ FAB
—–
Tianna: I got a little MJ vibe off it…not a great MJ copy, but for what it was – it was ok. Of course it got more hype when he did that joint with Fab. A great hip hop banger with half naked girls on stage, makes the audience wake up.
Angel: You’re right Tianna, the audience did wake up when “Make Me Better” came on. Ne-yo’s performance was boring to me. I love his music, but that performance was blah.
Brian: Ne-Yo isn’t entertaining to me. He is a really great songwriter, and I think that’s about it. I wasn’t drawn in by his performance until “Make Me Better” came on. I honestly just starting having a conversation during the performance until “Make Me Better” came on.
Diddy, Keyshia Cole, & Lil Kim perform
—–
Angel: I liked the performance. Keyshia looked and sounded great this year. I know you all remember that horrible rendition she did of “Love” last year. Lil Kim is back, and hyper than ever. Lol. Oh yeah, Diddy was on the stage too, he did aiight.
Tianna: Why the hell was Diddy lip singing? I mean, does it take much to sing that song? Keyshia’s new bob looks good, but she should perform in shoes she can dance in. Lil Kim busting on stage with her lil freaky tail did it for me. She was the only hype thing in the perfromance.
Brian: Keyshia Cole looked absolutely beautiful in the “Last Night” performance. I was so happy that Lil’ Kim came out. Kim and Keyshia stole the show. Diddy did absolutely nothing, but that doesn’t surprise me, he wasn’t singing worth a lick – that was all lip-synching with reverb. That was the Kim and Keyshia show, seriously. He didn’t even need to be up there. I loved the song, Keyshia Cole really sounded absolutely wonderful in comparison to last year’s performance. Get it girls.
BEYONCE, KELLY, MICHELLE, & SOLANGE WORK IT OUT
—–
Tianna: Good lawd, this performance was big. Kelly, Michelle, Solange, and then Mo’Nique?! I’m so glad Bee performed Get Me Bodied, she was definitely GETTIN IT. At first, when we saw that robot on stage – I know ya’ll was like WTF?! But Bee knows how to push the envelope. Kelly came out and did her thing, she was working that little booty of hers! Then the end, when all four of them just was poppin’ all over the place, ya’ll saw the men in the building drooling?
Brian: Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Michelle and Solange ate that performance. That was so energetic, the concept was hot, I enjoyed that performance thoroughly. Beyonce gave me everything I needed, vocally, plus more. Kelly Rowland, although her vocal performance was lack-luster towards the beginning, she gave a lot towards the end. It was so refreshing to see Solange and Michelle as well, it was just great all around. I even loved Michelle, and that’s random for me.
Angel: Dope performance, can’t even hate. Beyonce was working it and when she introduced Kelly Rowland I was like, “Oh Shit!” Kelly killed it and looked great. The ending was dope too. I see Solange trying to get her shine now.
ROBIN THICKE
Tianna: I wasn’t feeling all the swaying he was doing but, he sounded great because I heard otherwise. I thought he would perform “Can You Believe”, which I absolutely love. I forgot about “Lost Without You” (as much as they played that song, right?), would’ve been tighter if his wife came on stage.
Angel: I love me some Robin Thicke (who doesn’t?) But that performance was wack as hell. He can’t dance either. LMAO!
Brian: Robin Thicke is great to me. Although the performance didn’t draw me in like I thought he would, I think that he’s great, and I’m glad he got some love at the BET Awards.
Gerald Levert Tribute w/ YOLANDA ADAMS, GLADYS KNIGHT, PATTI LABELLE, & EDDIE LEVERT
—–
Tianna: Beautiful. To see his Dad singing, was heartfelt. If he would’ve started crying, it would be over for me. Patti, Gladys, and Yolanda – I mean what can I say about these power houses? We need more voices like that in r&b.
Brian: The Gerald Levert tribute was great. All of those powerhouse vocals on stage, paying their respects. I really got a little tear in my eye to see his father up their singing. It just really got me a little chocked up, because I think that’s got to be one the saddest thing — for a parent to proceed their child.
Angel: I teared up as well. When Eddie Levert started singing, I know it had to be hard for him. Great tribute though. Did yall see Keyshia Cole and them crying?
50 Cent performs Amusement Park
Brian: I thought it was pretty random that 50 Cent was performing. It was boring, but it was short so I didn’t mind it too much.
Angel: Shit was wack. It took him 15 minutes to start rapping the song. He was all up in the crowd shaking hands and laughing. I swear his rich-ass makes me sick. But he was looking kind of buff in that wife beater! Holler!
Tianna: Ummm now, did he forget his “own” lyrics or was he lip syncing and had a malfunction? Whatever the case, he was wack for doing all that cursing and walking around like a lost bafoon afterwards. This should show 50 that he needs to get back in the studio and do something different – or stick to Vitamin Water.
THE Diana Ross tribute w/ Erykah Badu & Stevie Wonder
—–
Angel: Another great tribute. Erykah killed it! And I never noticed she had a booty. LOL. Not like I was looking, but when she turned around I was like WTF? Now I see why she had Andre 3000 and Common acting all crazy. Diana is truely a legend, eff what you heard.
Tianna: Yo Erykah was doing her thing. She sounded great and did she get thicker? Chaka was sangin’ but did she forget the words at one point? She played it off better than 50 anyway. I love Stevie, he’s such an amazing musician to watch.
Brian: Diana Ross tribute was amazing, I think it’s great how they just showed what a fashion icon and legend that Diana was. Erykah Badu looked absolutely beautiful during the tribute. I loved the wig and I really loved how she added her own touch to those songs. She sounded wonderful. Chaka Khan is amazing to me, I love her to death, but it really looked like she was singing to pre-recorded vocals, but I noticed that on certain notes, her mouth just wasn’t moving. I love it.
Ciara performs
—–
Angel: Loved her performance. I wish she danced in the crowd the whole time, she was killing it. I also loved how she got her dancer to put the jacket on her at the end. Dope! I have to give Ciara her props, she is a great dancer. Oh and I saw her sitting next to 50 Cent. hmmmm
Tianna: I like how she did that split jump off the stage. She’s a good performer but, she should’ve probably lip synced because she sounded out of breathe. I like how she started poppin’ in Solange’s face too…
Brian: Ciara’s performance was okay, but I was expecting a lot more. She is a great dancer, but I feel like there could have been more energy and it ended abruptly. I loved that she went into “That’s Right” from “Like A Boy,” I was praying that she was going to perform “Can’t Leave ‘Em Alone” (featuring 50 Cent). I just feel like Ciara could have given us a little more. Usually her performances givem e so much more and have so much energy. I love the new hair though, it’s great.
DON CHEADLE GETS HUMANITARIAN AWARD
Brian: I went to the bathroom during this part.
Tianna: Don Cheadle is a well deserved actor and humanitarian. I thought his speech after receiving the award was heartfelt. He seems so genuine and humble with his success, I wish him the best. I still remember when he played Ice Tray on The Fresh Prince…
Angel: I’m so happy he got this award. I’ve been a fan of him for years now and it’s great to see good man getting his propers.
James Brown tribute:
Tianna: This tribute was wonderful for the late James Brown. I love when BET brings us back with old school Hip Hop icons (yes Flavor is an icon in Hip Hop, but with Chuck of course). They just keep the show hype and the same happened this year. Public Enemy had everybody gettin’ it, ya’ll even saw Bee doing her thing.
Angel: LOVED IT! Say it loud! I’m black and I’m proud. James Brown was a true legend and inspired everyone in music. Public Enemy tore it up and had me pumping up my fist.
Brian: James Brown’s tribute was seriously full of energy, it was really great. I loved that it was Black Star Power and they rounded off the award show with “I’m Black & I’m Proud.” It just really made me feel proud to be a black person, and just to see how beautiful and classy and powerful our people are.
ENDINGS..
Fave part:
Angel: Um, my favorite part would have to be the James Brown Tribute. Everyone in the crowd was feeling it and it was a great way to end the show. I also loved that Beyonce gave Kelly some love. So everyone can dead those beef rumors.
Brian: I know this is typical and cliche, but honestly, my favorite part of the show was Beyonce, Kelly, Solange and Michelle. I thought that Beyonce’s performance was so full of energy and so well put together. It was just so much fun and my eyes were glued to the screen. I absolutely loved it.
Tianna: My favorite part of the show: The four part screen showing Destiny’s Child and Solange poppin’ their booties
OVERALL:
Brian: Overall, the awards were not as amazing as last year. I think that they tried to top last year’s award show, and it didn’t work out for them. I did love the fact that everyone looked absolutely fabulous, and it was just really good to see beautiful black people doing their thing and just being classy. I didn’t think the awards were trashy at all, I just thought it was a beautiful thing to see successful black people. Big ups!
Angel: I thought the show was 10x better than last year. They had a mix of performers and the overall vibe was dope. Everyone in the crowd was up and dancing and I actually enjoyed a large portion of the performances.
Tianna: I thought the show this year was a lot better than the last. I’m not the hugest fan of Mo’Nique, but she did her thing as host. Hopefully, BET will continue to raise the bar…and we will be there next year folks!
I was dissapointed in the show over all & I loved how ciara sat next to 50 making sure those rumors about them being with eachother are still being talked about LOL!!
I ain’t tryin to hate, but didn’t Bey already have a performance from the SAME album last year? BET stay ridin’ her! It was a nice performance, seems live I’ve seen it somewhere before though.
The 2 Jennifer’s: Great performance b/c I wasn’t expecting it.
Monique’s entrance: I knew Mo was gonna bring it again! She & the dancers were working it!
T.I.: Good Performance. He really knows how to work a crowd.
Neyo: Nice, but kind of boring until Fab came out. Wait….it was STILL boring, but I LOVE both songs.
Diddy, Keyshia Cole, Kim: I like this song even though it’s been remixed to death. Keyshia Cole looked great! Kim acted like she was on medication.
Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle & Solange: GREAT!!! The performance was HOTTTT! It was great to see them all together again. B killed it though. Kelly didn’t sound too great & I could barely hear her. She doesn’t have a strong voice, but she looked wonderful.
Robin Thicke: I LOVE him, but if he sings that song 1 MORE TIME….he has MUCH better songs on the CD!
Gerald Levert Tribute: Very moving. Beautiful performance.
50: I was embarrassed for him. I didn’t even know WHAT was going on at first with all that unnecessary cursing & pacing.
Diana Ross: She is truly a legend. Nice performance by the group. Great to see Badu again too.
Don Cheadle: Great for him. He deserves it.
James Brown Tribute: Well done! Great ending to a Great show!
**By the way, I like how you guys gave your play by play within the post!**
Oh and did you see how she dissed bow wow & had the 25 (half of 50) on her robe…LMAOOOOO she is a damn fool!!!
The show was great, Beyonce was good, loved the concept, BUT DAMN SORRY I’VE SEEN IT BEFORE: please look @ this link, Kylie Minogue did the EXACT same entrance in Manchester:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf0ZS1EJjSM
Beyonce was good but she bit ‘ol girl’s style.
FAV of night: Diana Ross, Gerald Levert tribute, and CIARA DID HER THANG!
Mo did her thing, I knew she would she told Beyonce she was trying her hand
Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Holiday killed that performance.
Beyonce was amazing.
I wish I could have heard Kelly a little better but her performance was great.
I loved seeing the girls back together again.
I loved all of the tributes. I cried on Gerald Levert’s
Ciara killed it, that girl is amazing.
I loved to seeing the girls (DC3) back together again. Even Solange was doing her thing.
I wasn’t exactly impressed with Tobin Thickes Performance but I love him anyway.
All in all the show was great, MUCH better than last years especially the host, that damn Damon was terrible last year. I can’t wait to see next years.
Oh did anyone see 106 pre show? That damn Pretty Ricky is a sight to see .
Oh and I love T-Pain, that man is crazy.
Oh and I was so proud of Don his speech was amazing and he is well deserving of the honor.
#5 –Arielle, I knew it! Haha that performance looked SO familiar, and I couldn’t quite remember where I’ve seen it. Thanks
the beyonce performance was really amazing then kelly came out..then dc3 and solange danced at the end..that was cute… and i liked diddy’s performance too…but yeah this year was mad boring as hell…..
Now I know i’m probably going to be attacked for posting it by the fans, but hey i gave her her props first, she danced and sang her ass off, but the concept was copied…..
I LOVED this year so better than last.Brian angel and tianna,not tryna argue against yall but Ciara was fire!!!!!!and i loved how she ended it off popping rite next to bowwowLOL
LOVED the destinyschild reunion,i think 50 cents a player was i the onli 1 noticed as kelly was walking on stage she touched 50s leg hummmm
and eryka badu did the damn thing
Highlights
J Hud and holiday
Monique
DC Reunion
50 making a fool of himself
gerald levert,diana ross,and james brown tributes
ciara making bowwow wish he hadnt messed up
and the return of the notorious k.i.m
i love bee performance the best, this year performace better than deja vu last year, bee performance was off the chain i dont care wat tha haterz have to say about she copied someone name kylie to the left to the left
@11
Did you read my Ciara comment right. I said she did a good job. lol
Ciara had the best performance to me.
The reason why ciara had the 25? was because of the BET top 25 dancers. Even if you were not a fan of ciara’s you watched that and said ciara 25? WTF and I’m sure ciara felt the same way. F.Y.I it WAS NOT about no damn 50 cents.
Beyonce she did good, and so did Kelly, even though she needed beyonce to make her performance worth watching, unfotunately.
50 cents performance was pure garbage…..he messed up big time.
Monique…..Why couldn’t that heffa do another artist rendition. She did beyonce AGAIN and it was so corny, bland, & redundant. She should have did either ciara’s ‘promise’ or ‘like a boy’.
sorry i ment for whomever said it was just okay
and i tivod it and saw bowwows homies omarion and chris brown was jammin to ciara and him and his momma just sat there
even nelly had turn around and take his eyes off ashanti
The beat to the 50 cent song reminds me of Window Shopper,I think all of his stuff is beginning to sound the same now.His performance was a waste of time.I don’t like that man.But I would have loved to have seen Bow Wows face during that Ciara performance.
When they finally showed Gerald Levert’s daughter like ten or twenty minutes into the show,she looked so sad,that’s when I started to cry.
I thought that the performances were pretty good. 50′s mic was off at the beginning and I guess he got frustrated.
The Hip Hop Source
@14 your might be correct about the 25 thingy…but at the same time it could easily be related to 50 & that was probably more motiviation for her to do it…Celebs like creating roomers so they stay in the lime light. which is the reason she was also sitting next to him at the awards (or maybe they really are dating) HOPE NOT tho…
I see they brought on Robin Thicke, where J. Timberlake at?
cici performance was madD sexy…she was lookin fine as Fu*k…
& bout her and fitfy..i hope it aint true,cuz i wanna b whit her,lol,bt if they together let dem do them…
@ 18 why would ciara have a ? next to 25 then. The 25? on the back of her robe is a subliminal message to BET, not only that but BET put beyonce at #9??? If I were ciara I would’ve had ’25, WTF?’ on the back of my robe instead. She’s just too modest. Then at the very bottom I would’ve had ‘Beyonce #9? c’mon’!!!!!!
Beyonce was beyond say
Arielle THANK YOU!!!! I was just going to post that Kylie Minogue link but you beat me to it.
I mean DAMN! The performance was good but Beyonce STAY bitin someone’s shit!! That entrance was EXACTLY what Kylie Minogue did YEARS ago for her Fever tour. Come on, now. Just because Minogue isn’t big here doesn’t mean you can just get away with BITIN.
It was a good performance though.
but everything was what i expected from ciara keep point at the camera and calling it dancing to everything else i wonder why they never let rihanna perform there
Ok I wantched that Kylie joint, and yea she did bite ole girl lol.
But the majority of Bee’s black fans don’t give a damn about Kylie or even know who she is to care LOL. Thats why she did it!
I thought the mo thing was kinda lame. dont get me wrong it was hot the big girl wiggling around but DAMN can she take a pause and gt off beyonce right labia? when she said to her we love you honor you….i thought she was reading her vows or something. I am byonce out! I mean i think she is absolutely amazing, but i would like to see something different. Keysha cole i thought did better on the love song she did last year. the only problem was that she ran out of breath but you got to admit that you were able to actually hear her vocal range and say damn that girl can sing. this year her performance was coming in bits and pieces.
Brian, Jennifer Hudson did not forget the words or get them wrong. The ladies performed the song as it was performed originally. That was the original version from the play on Broadway. If you do a search on Jennifer Holliday on YouTube, there are many videos that will show her singing the song just that way in actual performance on Broadway.
Other than that, all the performance reviews were on point.
Ok I wantched that Kylie joint, and yea she did bite ole girl lol.
But the majority of Bee’s black fans don’t give a damn about Kylie or even know who she is to care LOL. Thats why she did it!
^^^^and it’s pretty sad that she thinks she can get away with it. AT LEAST attempt to be original and creative. but no………
First Janet and Britney at the VMA’s, and then Kylie at the BET Awards–you tell me Bey, who’s next?!
#25 Tianna
Y’all at the ‘Loop should put together a comparison piece called “Beyonce: Bitin’ Her Way to the Top” and call her ass out, because this shit is getting out of hand. Damn, you think she’d have learned from Des’ree taking her ass to court and getting the B-Day DVD taken off the shelves…
@ 30. Is it really that serious??? I enjoyed Beyonce’s performance and I bet this isn’t going to be the last time she takes a bite out of someone’s style. It’s not like she went on camera saying she made the whole routine up herself. Get over it!
& quit making every post about her. This is about the BET Awards y’all!!
BET made the WHOLE show centered around Beyonce and how good she is, cool…….i couldn’t wait to see her performance cause “Get Me Bodied” is my song, love the choreography and all, but when i seen that shit…………….i was like WTF, she went and bit Kylie’s shit and will probably be congratulated for it. THIS IS LIKE DREAMGIRLS COME TO LIFE! lol
CIARA was amazing, i like how she had 25 with a question mark on the back of her robe, lol then she was poppin n shakin in bow wow face, that moment was priceless
Kelly, Kelly,Kelly wtf was that? you need you sitt your self right on down, or sing standing still! I mean the gig has been up, we all know who was really the performer of Destiny Child. Her singing was horrible. i liked eve that is my girl she always brings it from the clothes to the lyrics. loved the boots good look eve good look. I see all those fries bey was eating on vacation is ctching up to her, but i have to admit i love that she is repping for us thick girls. Did you peep how Matthew was looking at the end of all that booty poppin his daughter was doing? i mean just listen to the words of the song. to me she gets away with some very suggestive lyrics cuz she’e beyonce.
AND THE BEYONCE HATE STARTS NOW….!!!
LMAO at people really goin hard cause beyonce had the same entrance as another person……lolol like what da fuck…..is it really that serious….i swear beyonce bashing has become a hobby on concrete loop…..
I never noticed how pretty Erykah Badu was until the show, she really looked nice and her performance was good.
I noticed only a couple people thanked God, what’s going on with that? Liked Lil Wayne’s speech.
Why does the BET Awards always looked so cluttered? it’s like everybody was sitting on top of eachother. Next year they need a BIGGER venue.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Im not sayin your wrong about the number thingy but people speculate shes 50′s other half..So 25? can kinda fit the whole 50 thing as well…Im pretty sure its about the dancing thing but the first thing to pop into my mind was half of 50 I didnt watch the top 25 dancers so i didnt know she got put as 25 LOL…& a few of my friends pointed it out as we were watchin…
either way the talk of ciara is shes dating 50….Im off the number crap now..
First off, This award show was so Dope!!! I luved it!! So many legends were in the house!!! The Destiny’s Child Reunion was cool! Ciara KILLED IT!!!
how bout we search you tube and look for how many time we done seen dumb acrobatic bitches swing from the ceiling……..like 50s performance…..
@ ROCCK DIZ F3LLA
IS IT THAT SERIOUS, i mean its more people in this post and its not all about B***NCE
I liked the show this year for a change…
I thought Mo’nique would do Ciara or somebody else. But she gave Beyonce love one mo’ gin….not mad at that.
Jennifer Holiday and Jennifer Hudson sounded a Hot Ghetto Ass Mess together.
T.I. is always live he should really fire his hype man cuz that ni**a was weak.
Love Ne-Yo, but I yawned through the performance through the middle.
Diddy Keyshia Cole…No Comment, but does anybody know what the hell Lil’ Kim was sayin.. it was cool to see her back out on the stage though.
Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle, Solange, Mo’nique, and Eve..That has to be the highlight of the night it was tight how all of them were packed into one performance kicked off by my girl B.
Robin Thicke: I’m sorry but i would have rather seen Justin Timberlake dancing…Robin Thicke stick to what u know.
Gerald Levert Tribute: I literally cried during that performance. Everyone’s vocals were on point. So sad R.I.P. Gerald Levert.
50 Cent: Why does he seem sooo phony to me.
Ciara: Performance was cool but I’ve seen her do better.
Don Cheadle: Just like Tianna said well deserved.
I can’t think of anything else….Oh yea why the hell does Toccara act like a dumb blonde?
ok i ust watched the Ciara part….i was better in the vocal dept… than i thought it would be! go head on ciara with your bad self. she is really turning into quite the performer. i was really feeling her hair, i mean i was glad when she changed it to black b/c that got her away from the whole “she’s trying to be bey thing’ but i honestly like her hair better this color it fits her complexion better. i think that was all her hair..but who knows. My stinky breath man lil jon always makes the crowd HYPE!! Loved it!!!
what about Neyo’s, Micheal jackson rip off…………i kno he stayed up late studying MJ….
THANKS CIARA!
@31 Angel
Ok ok…had a momentary lapse into Beyonce hate. It’s over. I just love me some Kylie Minogue and that’s the LAST person you would expect Beyonce to bite. They ain’t got jack shit in common (well, besides this performance now)! LOL
Anyway, this is also probably a big deal because the Awards themselves were boring as usual. Damn, Monique barely saved that mess. And will BET PLEASE upgrade their cameras??? I’m tired of looking at TV on my crisp, clear HD TV and then turning to BET and feeling like I’m watching TV on my grandma’s 1982 Sanyo tv in the garage.
And I really wasn’t feeling Ciara’s performance. She needs to pick singing or dancing and stick with one in the performance, because she can’t do both. And I have to say, tonight was the first time I’ve seen Ciara and couldn’t deny that she does look a bit like a dude.
Favorite moments:
–Lil’ Kim’s Outfit
–Robin Thicke’s sexy-in-an-awkward-as-hell-sorta-way ass
–Kelly Rowland spreadin’ some white chick’s legs
–Monique (of course)
–The condoms filled with cocaine bustin’ in Jennifer Holiday’s stomach as she hit that high note.
–Erykah Badu (Where’s that new album at, girl?)
TI was definetly working that stage but it would have been better if he had more dudes on stage with him. lets face it as tight as he as a performer, he is a little dude. i think that the crowd would have been a little more hype if he had a few more. Not like a whole entourage or anything but just….. So him and tiny are back together? Or am i just out of the loop? she is one ugly pug. she needs a face lift to pull up those saggy eyes lol
IM GLAD TO SEE CIARA STEP IT UP! COMPARED TO HER YEAR BEFORE LAST PERFORMANCE OF ONE 2 STEP AND OH, SHE REDEEMED HER SELF! BEST PERFORMANCE!
OH AND TO pittbboi , IF CIARA LOOKS LIKE A DUDE THAN CALL 50% OF THE AVERAGE MAN GAY, CAUSE WE ALL OVER HER
is ROBIN THICKE on drugs because he looks like a coke head
Mo’NIQUE whole routine was tired and played, she is so fake, big gurls this big gurls that, bitch sit down everything is not about big women vs. skinny women her whole act is played and not funny any more
wow ciara performance was off the hook.she was hyped..btw was that Chris Breezy or jay-z near nelly gettin crunk as well?
loved to see bow wow face lol
i thought it was just me who couldnt hear what lil kim was saying i was totally disapointed in BET for not having their sound right. I got up readdy to party when lil kim came out! THAT IS MY BYTCH. a tru ride or die chick. i see she getting her shape back. the outfit was banging. i am going to send BET hate mail.
Lol @ Brian, I thought I was the only one that caught those slip-ups in “And I’m Telling You!” I’m just glad J Holliday didn’t act all crazy like she did when she was performing on the roof-top at the Oscars.
I loved the show, I don’t care what anybody says. They topped all of the ones in the past. Great way to make up for last year’s boring ass show with what’s his face as the host. Mo’Nique killed it!
My fav part was of course Beyonce ‘nem, but I’m still wtf-ing at that outfit Mama Tina made. And can someone clarify something for me? Is that some kind of bellybutton ring??? Definitely not the business!!
CAN’T WAIT ‘TIL NEXT YEAR’S SHOW!!!
OH YEAH!! The audio technician should be shot … twice. Guess somebody will be at the unemployment office in the morning because I was mad @ how I couldn’t hear some of the performances.
And did the show keep going in and out on anybody else’s TV? Like, it would flicker and look all distorted for a second then pop back to normal. BET needs some new equipment or something!!
Beyonce’s outfit was by Balenciaga, they said it was $100,000. BIG MONEY!
Ciara doesn’t look like a dude to me!! I just don’t see it! I seen a hot, beautiful, young, intellegent woman!! She looks too good!!! Ya trippin’ (LOL, just kiddin’ yaw know yaw r entitled to yaw opinion!) But she is HOTT!!!!!
