BET Honors = OXYMORON

CHINGY: Dress UP for a black tie event, fool. If your ass is broke, RENT a tux. Damn.

RAHEEM: ‘Sneaks are for the VIDEO MUSIC awards. Please file this and refer back for future reference.

ALICIA: Lose the crooked dyke smile and zombie make up, please. This classic look called for the “fresh ‘n soft face” effect.

VIV: Looks like she’s attending a benefit banquet to raise funds for new robes for her church’s choir. Just saying.

TYRA: Does PETA know how many birds sacrificed feathers for that dress?

KERRY: On point, but we know you ain’t REALLY got that much attitude.

JOHN L. : On Point.

KEISHA: E for Effort and probably picked up an honor award for Most Improved.

Has anyone noticed that Alicia Keys wears darker foundation for African American events and lighter foundation for non-black events?

I will say OK to the people honored by BET but where is DONNIE SIMPSON and for you young ones who don’t know who he is, Mr. Simpson broke new ground as one of the nation’s first VJs. hosting BET Music Soul. I miss the old days, when music videos told a story. Now everyone is half naked shaking that ass, long weaves, and red bone. Things might have changed because I stopped looking at Music Videos about three years ago.

Dont hate on Alicia! She could have came to the awards with a potato sack, and still look better than everyone else

@18 I do agree that good shows like teen summit(shout out to Ananda Lewis and Laz Alonzo for hosting) should be on instead of hot ghetto mess, but at the end of the day its business!

I hope Jill and Lamman are a couple! They look great together.

Dang, Jill’s my girl and all but I would break that Lamar Rucker dude off something proper like. If I could get sandwiched between him and Idris Elba … or Lawd … Somebody wipe me down!

okay so glad to see their honoring black deserving stars more than ever.

Now. Kerri looks wonderful as usual:)
Alicia Keyes please stop losing weight before you look like a bob-el head doll!
Keisha it’s ok you just don’t fit in at this classy events we know you from the hood.
Tyra looks fierce minus the feathers.
Wyclef glad to see you.
Keep on rocking BET.

Kerry’s dress looks heavey, nice color.
Tyra looks like a Barbie-Stunning!!!

73. im with you 100%. Alicia is natural beauty. She doesn’t need heavy/bold makeup, in fact she looks her most stunning when she has very little makeup. Besides her dress could have been a lil bit more fabolous. Love u Alicia, but could’ve done better boo-boo.

Nice to see a respectable program on BET for a change. And say whatever you want about Tyra Bank’s annoying self, she has accomplished A LOT, so seeing her among the others is profound.

Tyra should not have worn that dress….when your arms aren’t toned, it makes you look older and gooey…..she needs to tone up for real.

THIS IS A BET PROGRAM I COULD WATCH!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!

@24 Megan, I see SO FEW African Americans on T.V in the first place so could you please excuse me if I want most of the images I see to be POSITIVE =).

Very nice… at least this time they are trying to do something positive @ BET, so give credit when it’s due. Everyone looks very elegant, esp. Keyshia Cole -
I know Neyo may be self conscious about his head, and feels more comoratble with a hat, it would have been a better look, with something not so casual.

A. Keys is my girl but I don’t like the bun thing she has going on. Kerry Washington wins “Best Dressed” for this one hands down!!! Vivica looks good too.
