@ RENEE…I was thinking the SAME thing, where was Xscape!! I just knew they were coming out after En Vogue. They probably couldnt get it together or something. ANYWAYZ, i loved Alicia, Jeezy, Wayne, Al Green (incl. Maxwell sexy ass, Anthony, and my girl Jill Scott), Chris Breezy and his girlfriend Rihanna ( she surprised me cause she sounded good without lip synching ( USHER!!!)).

Usher should have did the remix with Beyonce and Wayne. That would have been WAY better than that crappola he had last night. Speaking of el crappola…KEYSHIA COLE. What the hell was that ish??!! I like her well enough but I have never seen or heard this girl perform good live.

T-Pain was in the show last night!! He was buckin ( sorry a lil country term)!! I loved it!!

Did anyone see when Nia Long, Morris Chestnutt, and Cuba Gooding Jr came out? First, my girl ( LOVE HER!) Nia looked fabulous as always, Morris looked scrumptious, and…..was I the only one that could see that Cuba was clearly high off of something??? Making jokes that Ice Cube was in jail was not what was up and then saying, ” Missy is missing” after she won the award. One word. HIGH.

TPAIN WAS HOT BUT HE IS FUCKING WEIRD…

AL GREEN….ROCKED THE HOUSE..MUCH LOVE…I FELT LIKE I WAS AT A FAMILY REUNION..

Keys performance was the Best all night. The id to bring back the girl groups from the 90’s was great. I really missed the DIVAs this year .. where was Mary, Janet, Mariah, Beyonce’ ? the only true diva that was there was Alicia..
Al green great performance.. Maxwell needs his hair , Anthony Hamilton great haircut . Ciara and chris did there thing best dance performance. Neyo always good .. Ursher i dont know what to say i expected more but it was good. Ms cole started off shacky but pulled it together at the end .. Kim actually looked better then she has in a long time. All in all a good show BET good Job

Ok the BET Awards was off the hook this year! I loved thw show.
Alicia Keys is the best!!! I’m always saying the girls groups from the 90’s were the best. T-Pain is so talent and he can sing. Loved Jezzy and kanye! Al green was great. Marvin Sapp was great also. I love Keshia Cole but her performance was not all that and did LIL Kim buy a new ass? I’ve never knew her to have any. Usher sucked!!!!!!! And will somebody please tell Ashanti to sit her ass down. Maybe she should start selling that Good Good she says she has instead of albums.

keyshia was wack…i love her music but wtf…smfh…i was soooo dissapointed

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

I hope it is confirmed now they Keyshia Cole CAN NOT SING.
A.Keys was border line bad (I was pissed!!!)
Rihanna was ok than most, and TLC- TBoz seemed like she was out of it, and we all know Chilli was thinking about Usher the whole time.
SWV looked like they all just got done eating fish sam’iches.
DL Hughley was DRUNK as hell!
Al was Al, gotta love him! And WARREN Sapp started off bad, then must’ve had a come to Jesus and he got a lil better.
Shit, the rappers did better than the singers!

I must be gettin’ old, I gotta pee…and I’m done!

Everyone talking about Rihanna and Keyshia sounding bad…..HELLOOOO did y’all not hear T-Boz she sounded terrible!!!!!!! it was horse and raspy

@ 41
- I do think that Rihanna has BET fans, but her audience is not BET-based…I tripped out when they put the camera on Chris Brown while she was performing and there was some dude a couple of rows behind him texting…I was like damn!

@ 54
- Yeah SWV, En Vogue, and TLC are three of the hottest girl groups ever! But you ain’t giving Xscape no love? lol…my damn week would’ve been complete if they had of come out next!

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give this BET Awards show an 8.5. I liked most of the performances. I also see that I wasn’t the only one hoping for that Love In the Club Part 2 with Beyonce and Lil’ Wayne. Guess Bee was too busy making her movie! Usher’s performance did leave a lot to be desired…Alicia shoulda opened the damn show! Ne-Yo was better than expected…Keyshia- love u girl, but get some damn voice lessons….Chris Brown and Ciara were hot…Rihanna- flawless as always even though the performance was kinda boring….Al Green- please pay attention kids, because this is what you need to be trying to become!….Lil Wayne- it was ok, nothing earth shattering, still a fan though…Jeezy/Kanye…just okay….and if I forgot to mention something it wasn’t memorable or worth mentioning.

Bet please stop letting the same people perform and lets stop letting alicia get all the awards i mean i like her but its time to start letting others get their props i really think keyisa should have gotten the award she work really hard her performance wasnt great but she deserved it i mean last year yall gave j hudson best new female award and she didnt even have a album out come on and by the way let fantasia light up the stage next year shes bound to tear it up!!! just a thought

I normally don’t like Alicia Keys, but she had the best performance last night. When SWV, TLC, and Envogue came out I couldn’t stop screaming.

Other than that the show was boring as usual, although Maxwell gave me a good laugh. Oh and Ciara might not be the greatest singer, but when she was dancing with CB she killed it get low CiCi. lol

this awards is always ass, smh they be hyping it up way too much for what it really is!!

it seems like every year the attendance decline,like the artist think they too good to come or something.

usher was trash, i wonder did he speak to chilli even though we all know they answer to that

i was confused at first when a. keys bust out into weak, but she did good

i didnt care for chris brown and ciara at all i can do without all the grinding and ish in performances ion know why people still think thats cute…PRIDE AND POISE black people, work it out!!!

i dont know why D.L. kept callin Marvin, Warren im like NIGGA that is not that mans name

and ashanti….i was so confused as to you doin all that over nelly then she talkin bout she got that “good,good” da fuck? HO SIT DOWN!! would you please..and what was the purpose, i thought she was gone announce they were engaged or something the way she came out

Oh and Lil wayne is VERY OVERATED. IMO his performance wasnt THAT good. It was like a normal performance when someone raps. I get it best alive, 1million sold in a week but they had people all hyped LIL WAYNE LIL WAYNE then he performed and it was a total letdown.

96.

all i gotta say is that Queen bee’s presence was need.

the awards were wack. the only good performances were envogue (cause alicia sounded a mess in the beginning, swv was ok and tboz and chilli were just blah), al green and marvin sapp.

Ciara and Chris Brown were AMAZING!!! That was HOT!!! lol, Chris, everybody know Ciara was ur first choice. Dreams come true boo.

Ne-Yo was the bizness. I was so impressed with him. He was excellent and bringing out the Js was tight.

Alicia Keys gets extra points for sharing her set like that. She is so selfless and that is going to keep her around forever!!! That was tight and she got the first standing O of the night. The show was extra dead b4 she came on.

Al Green was adorable. Maxwell, Jill Scott and Anthony hamilton were perfect for that.

uuh, that’s all.

no hater jus observer

The highlight of the show was Chris and Ciara to me

Rihanna - best vocal performance i’ve heard to date sounded like the record. But the song choice was bad for this award show.

Neyo - surprised me It was good

Alicia and groups - I don’t like seeing her perform I must be the only one who wanted her to get off the stage and let Swv, En vogue and Tlc perofrm. Keys is whack to me don’t know what all the hype bout her is about. T-Boz child hope you not bringing out an album you losing your voice baby

Usher - Whack whack whack. He tried tho give an B+ for the effort but D- for the outcome. I mean if you’ re going to lipsync the dancing should have been better

Keyshia Cole - Oh my chica nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo don’t try to dance baby not you. Lil kim was okay

Nelly - He was ok but damn he need to lay off the red bull brotha was hype up

Marvin Sapp - love him that my song rite there

Al Green and Tribute - Highlight of the night best of the night

Chris and Cici - Hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Lil Wayne and Tpain - Love it Hope wayne get some help cause he is hip hop

Tpain (Ringleader)- That was hot good performance

Jeezy and Kanye - It was ok

Overall it was a good show everyone tried but only a few suceeded

I agree with everyone who said this is not rihanna’s place. When will bet learn RIHANNA IS A POP STAR. POINT BLANK PERIOD. Her place is MTV not BET.
I give props where it is due. Rihanna cnt sing but that was the best ive heard her sing. Its was the most boring performance but enleast she actually gaved her all and tried her hardest to sing on tone for once in her career.

104.

~*aShLeY*~

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Lets see…

Usher- I really expected Beyonce to perform with him so when he was done i was still waiting…I cant believe he lip synced tho thats not hot, usher been in the game too long to be doing some mess like that, what he was gonna do if the music messed up???

Alicia Keys-You go girl!!! I swear i was screamin when she brouhgt out SWV, En Vouge and TLC, she always suprises us, and she looked great, and i didnt know her hips were so big, lol

Young Jeezy-wasnt nothin special but I love that song so i was happy he did it, and i love kanye (congrats on best rapper)

Ne-Yo-Im sick of that song, but good look on the Jabawokeez, i thought that was them

Keyshia Cole-Is this girl tone deaf? She literally screamed thru half the performance, all that was not necessary and that dark blue eye shadow…No

T-Pain- LOVEEED IT, he cant sing, but he dang sholl can entertain, and did yall peep him when him and kanye won best collabo or whatever it was they won, i was like ”that nigga a fool” he seriously got some problems but he funny tho, lol, but Rick Ross…Who told him he could take his shirt off??? He “tha boss” so i guess he can do that, i was hoping they’d do “cash flow” too tho

Marvin Sapp-1 word, amazing…That man sang that song so beautifully, gospel musicians dont get enough props cuz if you ask me he blew every body away vocally

Chris Brown-Threw me a curve ball when Ciara came out, i was like AHHHHH THATS MY GIRL!!! she looked great, as usual, and they got down, i loved they’re performance and chris needed a cold shower afterward…And yall stop talkin bout rihanna trippin, they showed her and she was clapping, she not stuntin that she’s beautiful as well as Ciara is

Nelly-Um…It was okay, i was focusing more on his body than his songs, and Ciara looked cute, but dang she got some big feet, lol

Al Green-I had a intermission during his performance…Sorry but thats more my moms taste right there

Rihanna-Whoa, why in the world did she do that song??? Thats like the boring-est performance i’ve ever seen in my life…And whats up with the black wedding dress she had on??? Ima need her to fire her stylist cuz she been lookin jacked up lately

Lil wayne-Im sorry but he’s overrated, i already changed the channel by the time he came on

Overall, this was one of the best BET awards yet, i think the one with beyonce opening with Deja Vu was still the best, but this one comes in 2nd and D.L. Hugley was on point, i love him and he pushed it a lil bit but he was funny

En Vogue, SWV, TLC and Alicia rocked the house! I was so excited to see these beautiful ladies performing. I miss girl groups of the ’90s. That was such a hot performance.

Usher- He SUCKED! I’m sorry, but how the hell are you gonna lip-synch? I was so disappointed. Usher really lost it. He is no longer hot. Move over Usher, Chris Brown is taking over boo.

Rihanna- She did great! Her vocals has really improved.

Rihanna was hella boring to me! She really was! I would’ve been hella pissed if I paid all that money to see her @ the Glow In The Dark tour. It was cute that Chris was singing along though.

T-Pain’s was entertaining but I still don’t think he has talent @ all. He did a poor job lip syncing to the music. The highlight of his performance had to be Ludacris. Lol @ Rick Ross’ high voice.

A. Keys killed it as usual. I’m glad that she brought out SWV, EnVogue and TLC cuz I was getting tired of Teenage Love Affair. She had one of the best performances of the night to me.

Keyshia Cole sang my jam Heaven Sent. Where was Missy? Lil Kim looked horrible but she was a good performer. Keyshia needs to realize though that a high note @ the end of every performance is not the best way to get off stage.

Usher was suprisingly wack! He was a let down. Idk what’s going on w/ him. I’ve seen him on tour pre-Tameka and he’s a great performer. Idk.

I like the slight remix of With You that Chris performed and Ciara killed it!!!!!!!! She was the highlight of his performance. Sad but true.

Nelly, Nelly, Nelly. I always try and rep for my hometown homie but he could’ve honeslty kept that performance. Weak shit!

Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott and Maxwell were great and Al Green shut the house down! I love me some Al Green. I’m such an old head.

I loved when Wayne did A Mille cuz the crowd went crazy!

Ne-Yo had one of the best performances of the night. I can see why R. Kelly kicked him off of the tour lol. Have you heard his A Mille rap? Suprisingly, he can flow. The Jabbawockies were a nice touch too.

Marvin Sapp sent chills down my spine. Never Would Have Made It is one of my anthems. I’m also glad that he won. There’s more gospel artists out besides Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurklin and Mary Mary.

Over all most of the performances left much to be expected. I haven’t seen the whole show because I had to work :-( but I know it will be on @ least 18 more times :-)

What happened to my Usher? That performance was ssssssssssssoooooooooo SAD!!! I mean, any performance after his was should have been the opening act…Ne-Yo out danced him and Ne-Yo’s not dancer, Chris out sang him- and I’m sure you get my point. Love in the Club was just like the video and every other performance I’ve seen him do w/ that song! No creativity, no originality, no theatrics, nothing is was a sad mess…Luckily for BET they had Alicia, Chris, Wayne…and Keyshia to save the day. Usher just didn’t live up to his standards, is Tameka going to be the death him/his career?

On another note: there’s no pt in hating on Rihanna’s performance, she NEVER performs, standing up like a dominatrix and singing off-key is all she ever does! Just seeing her walk AND sing would make a great performance for her. You know, I honestly think a number of Rihanna’s songs are creative, which is the sad part she can’t bring them to life herself, you can tell she’s a totally produced artist…Give her music to Britney, Ashanti, etc, and watch do even better…Rihanna has no signature and no stage presence.

Well here’s my breakdown of the 2008 BET Awards

1. Usher Performance= straight wackness…..I’m sorry but something just seems real played out about Usher lately almost like his time is up for being the King of R&B that performance had a whole bunch of mess ups and things were used to seeing him do plus I think so many people were anticipating my girl Beyonce to come out so when she nor Weezy came out to do Love in Dis Club Part 2 it waz like oh…..thats it? For an opening act, the audience wasnt even standing up or getting into it like last year when J.Hud and Jenn.Holiday performed for the opening act, people were out of their seats in awe, this time it just seemed like nobody cared.

2. Jeezy/Kanye Performance= well when Jeezy came out in the beginning it was sort of like okay why did he not perform with Usher in his set for Love in dis Club but I guess he wanted to do his own thing and to tell you the truth things really didnt get poppin till Kanye came out and also I was expecting Kanye to have his own set, like he would perform flashing lights or something but I guess it didn’t happen. This performance was okay….

3. Neyo Performance= now this was a bit of a surprise but Neyo got things poppin, I think that had to be the best performance from Neyo I’ve seen ever he was really good, really entertaining and put on a FULL performance even though he’s not the best dancer, he played it off well and then had the Jabowakees come out at the end was hot, people were suprised about how good he did This performance was one of the best of the night

4. Keyshia Cole Performance= now what the hell was Keyshia sippin on before she went out on stage because she acted like that drunk cousin at every family barbecue who was lik “hey yall check me out!” that was funny as hell and Keyshia’s my girl but she was acting a fool then Kim came out…….yeah basically This performance was a hot mess I think it needed Missy and Keyshia to be less tipsy!

5. Alicia Keys & The Girl Groups Performance= mow my girl Alicia had a very good concept behind her performance and it was absolutely a positive message behind it….as far as the singing goes they were all a little off…Alicia sounded a bit nasally while T-BOz was just too low and the other groups were low also and at times off key but overall This performance was good and one of the best of the night.

6. T-Pain & Them Performance= this performance was good not really because of T-Pain but because of all the people he brought out lik Luda, Rick Ross etc. Some of them were lip synching their parts but it was alright plus T-pain’s set was really wacky and crazy and proved to be really entertaining. This performance was good and also one of the best of the night.

7. Chris Brown & Ciara Performance= okay this is not the sex show and I don’t know who’s idea it was for this collabo to happen but if it was Chris’ I mean damn….if he was gonna bring someone out you think it would be Rihanna but her ass was sitting in the audience looking all cheesy overall Chris didn’t really get it poppin till Ciara came out anyway so it was kind of lackluster before that and kind of forgettable but the part with Ciara will have people talking. This performance was good just for the simple fact my girl Ci Ci came out and had the dance off thing with Chris.

8. Al Green Tribute= Jill Scott was a little stiff like she was nervous or something but she was okay. Anthony Hamilton sounded really good too. But Maxwell killed it. I know everyone wishes he would come back to the game. And as for Al Green, that dude is a straight g and legend. He actually went up and performed his songs unlike Diana Ross last year. This tribute was really good and definitely the highlight of the night.

9. Rihanna Performance= this was really boring and felt like it was missing something. The audience wasn’t really feeling it mainly because of what she went after I mean if you going to go after a spectacular performance like Al Green and them you need to bring some high energy and fire but I guess because Take a Bow is kind of slow it was dry and Chris looked like the only one into it But Rihanna looked nice though…….yeah this performance was forgettable

10. Nelly Performance= first of all JD needed to sit his old ass down somewhere like fo real,
like nobody wants to hear him rap and what was wrong with Ci Ci’s mic, like it needed to be turned up or something but my baby daddy Nelly woooh lord have mercy that man is too fine!!!!!!! just give me one chance to have his baby and it will be done the shirt off did it for me because that was all I was focused on this performance was good just because of that fact

11. Lil Weezy Perfomance= last but not least my other baby daddy Lil Wayne shut it down and closed out the show proper even though I think he should have opened the show instead of Usher but whatever Weezy still did his thing with T-pain but I’m really hoping he T-pain don’t take this friendship thing too far because the two of them together will start too get annoying but other than that Weezy had everyone hyped. This performance was one of the best of the night.

So overall the awards were OKAY this year. I do think Last year was better but this year’s wasn’t a total disapointment. I do think the show could have been produced a lot better but overall it was 50/50. Do you guys agree?

Usher was whack. I mean lip syncing, and not doing it well?? He has the vocals, concentrate on that and stop trying to compete with Chris Brown and Ne-Yo, we already know you can dance Ursh. Ne-Yo btw shat on Ursh.

RiRi’s performance was boring. Actually she’s boring. She’s just a pretty face in Haute Couture. Does she even have a personality?? Sometimes she seems robotic to me. She should play Cindy Mayweather in Janelle Monae’s next vid.

Am I the only one who thought Maxwell Killed it? He’s been absent from the game so long yet he came back and shut it down like a true seasoned performer. I cannot wait for his new material.

Chris and CiCi killed. I dug the choreography.

These awards were overall mediocre. Also very unorganized, way too many artists not there to recieve their awards and the presenters weren’t even aware of the fact that they weren’t present. What is Debra Lee doing? Clearly not her job.

Usher…wack. I can’t believe he lip synched the whoooole freakin set. The best part was watching the dancers cause Danielle P. (chick from Omarion Touch video) was rippin it. That girl is talented.

Didn’t see the Jeezy performance, I decided to start my laundry at that time lol.

Keyshia was wackkkk. When that smoke was comin out the ground, and she was prancing around the damn place, I was praying that she wouldn’t fall of the damn stage because I surely couldn’t see where the edge was thru the smoke. And she damn near broke her neck to look back at her dancers, to make sure she was on point. Her voice was baaaaaddd. Man, I thought she would redeem herself from that year she got all out of breath performing “Love” but she let me down AGAIN.

Marvin Sapp….LOVED IT. Omg, that performance really brought me to teard. His voice is truely annointed.

Ne-Yo did a good job. Can’t really complain about his set.

Didnt watch T-Pain….I’m t-pained out for the rest of the effing year.

Al Green tribute was THE TRUTH lol. Maxwell made me wanna throw my panties at the tv lmao.

Didn’t watch Nelly.

Rihanna did her thing, although the performance itself was boring (mainly because of the song she chose) her vocals were pretty damn good.

I fell asleep by the time Lil wayne came on.

Oh and Ciara and Chris killed it. She actually saved it at the end, because I’m so over that “With You” song, I was gonna change the damn channel.

@ 108 JAYLA….You pretty much wrapped it up. Thats how I felt about the show. And why do some of you keep saying Keyshia did good. The woman sounded so bad, and she looked a mess with that sister curl pinned up in the back, and that ‘Easter” blue eye shadow. And what was she wearing…

Last night just proved it that Keyshia Cole could not sing live. She sounded so horrible at a point where i needed to change the channel. Overall, the show could have been better if they chose a host who could speak English very well and have Ashanti perform.

btw,i guess im the only person who didnt enjoy the en vogue and swv set….boring. and i was disappointed that alicia keys did terrible.

Have Not Thought of a New User Name

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Usher: Wack

Neyo: Stepped his game up, he actually did good.

Alicia: Best performance of the night only because SWV, TLC and Envogue

Chris B: He and Ciara killed it (dancing wise).

Jeezy f/Kanye: They bored me and I like Kanye.

Keyisha Cole: Looked cute but sounded a mess. I have seen ans heard her live enough times to know she is consistant vocally, just when I thought she was getting better she goes and does this. I think the problem is she goes out of her way to prove herself and oversings/dance. I can’t stand when she think yelling in the mic is singing, she be off key, there’s no melody it’s just flat. No need to comment on the dancing. I’mma need her to represent the Bay right.

Marvin Sapp: Was just what I needed to hear.

Al Green: Showed these artist what good music is. Loved Jill, Anthony and Maxwell silly but.

Nelly: He was wack

Rhianna: looked good, but was boring.

T-Pain: Even though I don’t like his music he deserved his awards dude is everywhere on everything.

Lil Wayne: Is overrated, but at least he thanked God (I don’t believe anybody other than Marvin Sapp did that).

D.L Hugley was not funny I’m starting to believe that some comics think that if they do curse they can’t be funny he was wack.

Loved the Obama references.

HES IS AN EXHIBITIONIST AND A NARCISSIST OF THE WORST KIND WIT ALL DOSE SHOW OFF ARROGANT DANCING N SHIT. IF HE INJURED HIMSELF HIS AZZ CANT DANCE NO MORE AND HE CANT SING SO DATS THE END OF HIS GIMMICK. WEN MY BOY USHER WAS HIS AGE HE CUD TEAR THE ROOF DOWN. HE COULD NOT ONLY DANCE BUT ALSO SING.

let's not lie

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

i didn’t get to watch the whole thing but i saw a few performances

usher messed up. point blank. it wasn’t so much the fact that he lip-synched that annoyed me b/c let’s be real even mariah lip-synchs and she’s supposed to be an acclaimed vocalist. what made me upset is that he didn’t even have do it to pre-recorded live vocals, he did it to the album version. are you that lazy usher that you couldn’t prerecord live vocals and at least pretend that you were actually singing? smh

i saw keyshia and she was off-key. goodness. it amazes me how good she sound sin the studio and how bad she sounds live. i saw others but paid no attention to them after that, especially tpain. ughh makes me sick. i want to see the cb and cici performance though. i know that he has a huge crush on cici so he was probably extra happy that he got to dance with her.

The show just proved it that Keyshia Cole could not sing live. Overall, the show could have been better if whatever that dude name didn’t host it. The ratings could have went up if Jada and Will hosted the show and have Ashanti perform her strongest hit “The Way That I Love You”.

Like someone else said….Where was the main divas? Mariah, Mary J., Beyonce, and Janet. None of them bother to show up. This show lacked star power.

And I am still saying WTF!!! at The Dream winning an award. I cant believe it…

D.L. Ooogly needs to kill himself…wasnt funny at all. They could have found a better host.

Is the BET Awards the only show where the microphones barely work? We got to do better…

Best Performances: Alica Keys, Neyo, and Al Green tribute.

Okay Performances: Chris Brown, Weezy, Jeezy, Nelly, and Usher

Worst Performances: Keyshia, Rihanna(nobody in the audience look interested but Chris), T-Pain melody(H.A.M)

133.

TTT

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Only caught Weezy’s performance which was OK. Not the best I’ve seen him but OK. That means I got stuck watching Puffy and boring Keri Hilson promote the hell out of Ciroc (which I didn’t see anyone in the lounge drinking) Alisha Renae?, Keri, Tigger and especially puffy were so corny.

Alicia Keys was the ish! Ciara and Chris Brown were hot but could have been hotter! I’m a Rihanna fan but her performance was not up there with the hottest acts, she sounded good vocally but her stage presence was lacking. I need to peep neyo’s performance after all the good reviews that I read.

Have a wonderful day folks!

Alicia Keys did good but I must be the only one wondering “What about Brownstone!” The Al green performance was OMG BEYOND GREAT!!! He is a true legend. Keyshia…..I was speechless and not in a good way. Usher……wtf happened?

LMAO @ people texting on their cell phones during Rihanna’s performance. And the audience barely clapped at the end of her performance. Poor gal.

Ashitty needs to quit…what in the world was she talking about? Some ” good good”. Girl, we dont care.

Niecy Nash was funny with her “white kids” joke.

And I’m sorry, but why the fuck did CB win for best male R&B. BET gts on my nerves with that shit, they give awards out to the same fuckin people every year. That could’ve easily went to Raheem Devaughn, J. Holiday, or Trey Songz. I’m not trying to say that Chris isn’t okay but shit, give other people a chance. Base the awards off of something other than popularity.

142.

RENAE

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Where are all the singers at because we do not have any anymore? R&B has lost it, we need to bring back singers who can acutally sing. Then a lot of people weren’t even there to support BET.

Al Green did a good job, Maxwell and Anthony Hamilton as well, Marvin Sapp. Don’t really like rap but I think Lil Wayne did alright with the last song, Nelly was looking good.

Keisha Cole cannot sing, she sounded absolutely terrible as did Lil Kim!!

Also awards never go to the people who actually deserve them. Maybe one day BET can put on a quality performance with real music and real performances because 80% of those people last night didn’t even put their heart into it.

143.

LMAAOOOOO… Hey look at Keisha Cole’s performance with no sound….it looks like she is really blowing…..but when you turn the volume up….GOOD GOD. She needs a miracle.

WTF??? Ursher, yeah I said Ursher was a HAM, He has lost it all. Move over Ursher there’s a new sheriff in town.>>>Chris Brown.

Ciara looked like a man in drag with those big a$$ feet when she was dancing and singing on stage with Nelly. she man-handled Chris while she performed with him too lol

Ri-Ri, girl save it for MTV, she’s fly but the BET crunked out audience members was not feeling it.

TBOZ, SWV, ENVOGUE!! Props to all of them but I have no idea how they fit on that stage with Alicia’s wide a$$. Oh well, the rest was just okay but AL Green was the business!
