MAXWEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLL. COME BACK!!! I’m soooo tired of pop RnB!

Ok Ciara and Rihanna were the bomb. TLC looked like they were lost. SWV looked so old. EnVogue looked younger than SWV. John Legend looked as though he hit the bottle a couple of times before he gave the speech. Al Green–babe this is not the Academey of BET AWARDS lol. Kanye came in off beat, but the performance was cool. Next time just cut Keisha Cole performance out of the whole show. I wanted to go to sleep. Keisha please tell your mom not to drop it like its hot in a long dress. Neyo– Mr. How you doing?? I felt like all you needed was some neon lights so that i could feel like I was at the rave. BET AWARDS I give it a 6.5..

rihanna lip synched…she recorded a live version in the studio and lip sang it last night so that ppl would think its live because she included breathing in it.

it is evident and her performance was boring.

only alicia, chris, and keyshia cole performed live. keyshia should have lip synched.

the best performance of the night was alicia keys. she killed it! she should def be a host or something. i can see her as a mogul or more of an oprah. she was a great moderator. i dont think any one else could pull that off.

Damn I just realized alot of people wasnt there…

Missy, Jay-Z, Mary, Mariah, Snoop, Beyonce, 50 Cent, Janet, Jamie Foxx.
None of the athletes nominated showed up. Neither did any important actors.
Hell was T.I. even there?

Where was all the superstars BET?
I guess they said “fuck it, I’m not coming to this coon show.”

oh and chris browns was good because of ciara. she killed it. they should be a couple!

im glad he didnt lip synch

Shit…was Vivica Fox even there?

lol

Alicia and Ciara were the only true performers of the night! Ciara ALWAYS steals the show! Whether its her performance or someone else’s……she’s just hott!

We all know Rihanna isn’t a singer, dancer, or performer, but you would think she would step it up a notch to save her life! she’s super wack! take some tips from ciara or bey or alicia, or just stop singing PERIOD!

The rest were hams, sorry, including Usher!

Usher needs to retire…he was hella’ wack. I expected more from him.

Chris Brown did his thing.

Cici was the bizness last night…she should have went out on her own though.

A Keyes was doin’ her thing with the 90’s girl groups- what happen to Xscape????

Wezzy F. Baby-did a great job ending the show…he told ya’ll he the best rapper a live. Jay-z couldn’t face reality that Wezzy out sold his played out azz, thats the reason why he didn’t show. A mill in a week…they said it couldn’t be done!!!

Usher was the fucking worst!!! He lip-synced AND almost busted his ass when he flipped!!! He basically did the damn video and the tour set (which everyone will see!!)The sad part is that what could’ve made his performance good WAS RIGHT THERE!! Why didnt he have Jeezy do his verse? Why didnt he have Wayne do a verse for the remix?? Beyonce know she was in LA filming….she couldve saved her boy on the remix…lol!!
But yeah everyone else was great!!!

Did anyone else think that Ashanti’s entire script was unnecessary and her “I got the good good” comment was in poor taste?

Rihanna’s performance was NOT boring! The song is a slow song, what was she supposed to do, burst into dancing? She killed it…the song alone is enough. She rocked it!

@ 141 I feel your sentinments exactly. They award you based on how many times you were #1 on 106&P. They should just title it 106&P Awards, that’s basically all it is. They also let the same people perform every year. Never switch it up. BET is just plain ghetto.

@ 148 You are right. The reason being is because they didn’t use any gimmicks. It was about the music. Whereas the others relied heavily on gimmicks. Chris and CiCi used sex, Rihanna used the Haute Couture (as usual), Ne-Yo had the half naked scantily clad girls, Ursh used stunts and alot of choreography, Keyshia had Kim. Pain had the circus (how ironic) being these awards were a circus in and of itself.

The best performances were the simplest ones.

I’m with u SECHIC…..preach…Bey is in L.A.!!!! She could have helped him, but even she knew his CD is wack. Hahahahahahah…Usher retire homie…Chris was better then u!!!!

@ 94..You crazy as hell!! LMFAO

LMFAO…..8BALLER I was thinking the same thing…where r the A-listers!!!???

i forgot T pain he was good wiff the slow motion him and kanye cracked me up so big up to T pain….

I was really disappointent with the show this year. They definately need NOT to ask D.L back again. He was HORRIBLE! He couldn’t even speak correctly. I think that BET continues to give the awards out to the most popular instead of most deserving people and it’s a turn off. Keyshia should’ve won best female and Neyo best male. Lil Wayne is by far best rapper and Missy hasn’t been the best female rapper since Work It but gets this award EVERY year. It’s a joke. Get it together BET

LOVED
Chris Brown and Ciara….CRAZY!!!! Ciara is a bad b@#$%! She earned all of my praise last night.

Neyo..great overall performance

Al Green

(Warren) Marvin Sapp

T-Pain-I liked his segways and the performerances (except Flo-rida).

Liked

Alicia was really off key when she started and until she brought out the other groups LOVED seeing EnVogue, she was a hit for me. T-Boz must’ve been sick because she couldn’t sing or talk…they should let Chilli sing.

Weezy

Rhianna-I really thought she sounded nice and with the song she was singing I don’t know how much more was expected. She looked lovely and Chris was really cute singing with her.

Nelly, Fergie, JD, and Ciara- I was disappointed that Fergie didn’t let loose. She’s always shakin it everywhere but seemed scared on “our” stage. Ashanti saying she had the “good, good” was some of the most ghetto chit I’ve ever heard. Shut up and keep your business to yourself girl.

Sorry…you were horrible

Usher- Mediocore at best…what happened Usher. He seemed to be scared and too focused on his moves.

Keyshia….uncomfortable to watch

Jeezy and Kanye….They weren’t that bad but they were boring

Rhi may have been boring but she cant be tagged with not being able to sing! I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you people, you give Ciara praise and all she did was dance and mime with Nelly, and she did a damm site better than Keyisha cole. I’m not a stan but you people are too harsh

I also found Alicia boring, she was real saved by the real artists it took me back to when music was good

I did not watch the show because Ashanti did not perform.

@ 162…Exactly, I’m tired of these damn awards. Its the same ish over and over. Everything from the performers to the winners. Like WHY would the Dream win best new artist over someone like Chrisette??? And how the hell did Missy even get thrown into the best female rap category. She had that Chang a Ling song out, and that ish wasn’t even an official single. That was a soundtrack song.

^^^^^
Ashanti is a flop…

MAXWELL!!! AHHHH!!! didn’t see him coming @ all. lmao

The show was just ok to me. where was everybody at????? i was dissapointed at the outcome.

Ursher- I was mad like a mug after that mess. zzzzzzzzzz

Neyo- It was aightt.

Ci and Chris- That ish was butterty hotness!!!!! it was mad sexy,but i had to go repent after that one.(one of the best)

A.keys-i was so very happy.

K.Cole- Love Nazi says…………You get no response!

Al green- Hell yes is all i gotta say.

Lil Wayne- i love em but his performance was over rated.

Maxwell- Sexy Sexy!!!!

Jill Scott- This is what i call a real artist!!!!!! she’s wonderful.

Anthony Hamilton- he is so underrated.

TPain- WTF???? dude is on some other ish!!!!

D.L.- Where is Monique???????!!!!!!!!!!???????????

@168 Ciara is praised because she is a performer. No one said she can sing. But she puts on a damn good show.

As for Ri, she’s just a designer’s muse. No personality, can’t sing, can’t perform. Just tall and pretty. What’s she good for besides sporting the latest trends, and having a record lable who spends millions on you so you can have the hotest vids? C’mon, give us more than that ma ma.

@169… Thats one of the reason I did watch the show

oh yes i almost forgot
WHY IN THE HELL DIDN’T CHRISSETTE MICHELE WIN!!!!!!!! i was mad as hell over that.
The awards are not awarded correctly

LMAO @175. I love it!

@170 It’s because BET likes to play it safe. They lack originality and are not innovators. They mimic everything MTV does, yet they still miss it by a landslide.

Debra Lee needs to resign. It ultimately all falls on her. Giving us those fake ass wack speeches every year. SIT DOWN!

Missy doesn’t even have an album out yet!! AYFKM!

Ok, Usher was beyond boring. I dont care what anybody says Beyonces ass was missed this year. The only part I liked was the few seconds Ciara turned it out. That lil girl was sexy as hell. She had a Janet Jackson moment. I stopped watching after Al and by the looks of it I didnt miss a thing.

OMG!!! I almost forgot to mention that Keyshia Coles performance was the most horrid thing I have ever had to witness. My husband actually walked out the damn room.

Ok I already had extremely low expections for the awards.. but after watching I thought it was an ok show.

1) I love me some Alicia Keys but the truth is: she HAD bring those groups out, because she was sounding a hot ass mess singing Teenage Love Affair in the beginning! And you are a liar if you tell me she didnt. It was nasally and irritating.. I was happy when she finally shut up and let the other girls sing.

2) Chris Brown & Ciara were hot. They did their lil dancing thing. Ciara can move. Janet, you scared? lmaooo

3) Usher was ok. Give him a break. I was disappointed about the lip syncing tho. Felt like he was trying to prove he can still dance. And hes beyond that at this point in his career

4) Neyo was good. Better than I expected. I was hyped when the Jabbawockeez came out.

5) Keyshia wasnt terrible. She just wasnt her best but I’m still rooting for her.

6) Rihanna… in your own words.. “please, just cut it out.” The sad part is, you can tell how HARD she was trying to sing that simple song.. just to sound that bad. SMH.

7) Marvin Sapp’s performance was beautiful. Lovedddd it. Especially the montage in the background.

Al Green had me on my feet. They picked perfect the people for his tribute. Very well done.

9) Wayne & T-Pain are surprisingly good performers.

10) DL HUGHLEY IS NOT FUNNY.

And Im too lazy to comment on anyone else.

CIARA CROTCH WAS ALL UP IN CB’S FACE…THAT PUSSY IN HIS MOUTH HAD HIM LOST 4 WORDS …MS. FLYYY GIRL RIHANNA BETTER WATCH OUT CUZ CICI WORKED UR MAN DAMN GOOD…..

LMAOOOOO @ 175…AT LEAST WE DIDNT HAVE 2 HEAR HER SAY BANANAS ALL NIGHT

EVERYBODY BROUGHT THEIR A+ GAME, NEYO SON, YOU REPRESENTED, ONE WORD C I A R A , GREATEST ENTERTAINER ALIVE OF THIS ERA, LIKE MONICA SAID, YOU DO THE THINGS THAT DON’T REQUIRE SPECIAL EFFECT

To #8… that was a fake smile. If you can’t tell the difference… that must suck OR you must be a really nice and appreciated person (which doesn’t suck so congrats lol)!

BET COONTASISM AT ITS BEST!!!!!!

Yeah, the show was wacker than the wackest that wack could ever get. lol!!!!

Nonetheless, the only moments worth mentioning, out of what felt like a 7-hour show, was Maxwell; Ne-Yo; Chris and Ciara’s simulated sex routine (lol); Al Green’s goofy ass; Alicia’s girl group reunion and Marvin Sapp.

But, everybody else could’ve just taken their tails on home.

Seriously, there was no need for that show to be any longer than 30 minutes.

I’m glad Chris Brown didn’t give a opportuunity for Ciara to sing cuz everybody knows she sounds horrible on shows. So chris just gotta let her drop her tiny ass.

JOHN LEGEND’S PANTS ARE A LITTLE SNUG IF I HAVE TO ADD.

BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS: Beyond the Veil of Fraternity Pledging…. “pharaoh jones”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg4CEm0ebPk

pharaoh jones tour:
The challenge of moral development when subject to “group think” pressures…

The sexual use of women for the purposes of male-bonding…

The use of ritual in human development and socialization…

The college man’s debt to chivalry in a world aspiring to gender equality…

How does a man maintain his personal integrity when faced with these and other challenges?

S Y N O P S I S
After a live step show salute to Black women, Willis Jones and his 4 line brothers are facedwith a strong challenge to their moral consciousness, respect for women, and knowledgeof self. With community, leadership, and service as the cornerstones of his fraternity, Butch, the Dean of Pledges, tests one of the most distinguishing elements of a man for others: strength of character. Does “pharaoh willis jones” possess the moral fiber RA is
looking for? Will he sacrifice his principles for the sake of unity or stand his ground alone?
How does one maintain personal integrity amidst the pressure of unified thinking gone astray? The pharaohs take you on a journey through one of their most challenging nights on line. Will they rise and pledge to be the men they say they are? Individuals vs. the group, right vs. wrong, Morality vs. Immorality: these are the issues OBC explores in this high-energy short.

B O O K I N G O P T I O N S
pharaoh jones is a provocative look behind the wall of Black fraternity life and the character building challenges initiates into this world face. It offers social commentary in a context that sparks dialogue, debate, and, most importantly, change.

Oh, I forgot about Maxwell. His swagger was too funny. Loved him, Jill and Anthony.

LOL on Neicy Nash joke.

DL used ALL of his opening jokes on the Steve Harvey morning show that very morning. I am SO disappointed in him. WACK!!!!!

I agree, no one is praising CiCi for her vocals, but she can GET DOWN!!! Alicia sounded like a drowning eel when she started. It was truly bad.

i loved chris brown performance, it was so hot and omg i went crzy when ciara came out.

neyo peformance was hot too. but what the hell went wrong with usher’s performance. it was so boring and i was hoping beyonce and lil wayne was going to come out. i needed my beyonce fix

CiCi and Chris performance was good just at the part where CiCi came out!
It was sexual and I think it was alittle bit to much it was kids their!

Some kids got into trouble for doin the same rountine that CICI and Chris Did………well they see the celebrities doiing it.

Keyshia reminded me of Mary J.

Usher so disappointed!

Neyo had Michael Jackson written all over it!

oh yeah with neyo’s peformance i loved how the jabbowockez came out. they are really doing great with their fifteen mintues hopefully they can stretch it out.

@181.

Why do Janet has to be scared? One Hot rountine and Janet is scared? Janet is a legend plus she did a rountine from her All For You tour where she pulled a guy on stage and it was equally as Hot!

If it was not for Janet,CiCi would be able to do anything!

Lets see where CIC will be in 3yrs from Now!

Janet deseve a little bit more Respect!

@183… U TELLIN DA TRUTH

DA BEST WAS NE-YO, MARVIN & CHRIS & CIARA…
I DIDNT REALLY CARE 4 DA ODDA…
AND I THINK AL GREEN SET WAS WAY TOO LONG… AFTER 4 MIN I CHANGED DA CHANNEL!

ALICIA WAS BUNK AND SO WAS TLC… AND T-BALD LOOKED LIKE A CHEETAH ON HER PERIOD. SHE SANG LIKE SHE HAD A LUGIE N HER THROAT… SUCH A SHAME

AND USHER HAS REALLY LOST IT… HE IS TRASH DIZ TIME AROUND. I RATHER HIM DO SOMETHIN OFF CONFESSION DEN SUMTHIN OFF DAT SHIT HE CALL A ALBUM!

I heard someone said after the party show, they wish Ashanti could’ve perform to make it up to untalented Keyshic Cole’s horrible performance, I though that was embarrassing.

Ciara is a talented dancer but needs to switch the style up. hit up youtube and u’ll see its nothings special.

Do not see a Greatest-best-better-cool-average-worst blog, so I will create one on this one.
Here goes!

2008 BET Music Awards
My Greatest- Al Green & A. Hamilton & Maxwell, Lil Wayne
My Best - Chris Brown/ Ciara Dance, Rihanna, Marvin Sapp,
My Better - T-Pain & Crew, A. Keys & Crew,
My Cool – Diddy Toast “Let the Party Begin”
My Average -BET’s Sound System during Young Jeezy & Kanye Performance
My Worst- Do not have one-Very Good Show
http://www.kingdeon.com

Dag! WHY ARE ALL THE PICS MOVING SO FAST?? Concrete Loop can you cut that the hell out?

1. I’m mad that hardly any celebs who won haven’t showed up. WTH? I thought the
BET awards were the it show for our people, what the heck happened?

2. Usher was terrible big time. The conveyor belt number was alright, but his lip
synching was a mess. He shouldn’t have opened the awards at all. He’s slipping.

3. I thought Alicia’s girl group concept was good in regards to SWV, En Vogue,
and TLC performing. T-boz didn’t sound good though and SWV was off as well.
They cracked me up coming down those steps! Loved En Vogue, nuff said.

4. Chris’s performance wasn’t good until Ciara came out. The images in the water
were off the chain though.

5. Jeezy and Kanye were ok, nothing to talk about.

6. Keyshia sucked big time. Sorry but Lil Kim didn’t help much either. They were
yelling at one point. Keyshia is tone deaf or something because she sounds
horrible live. She sounded better when she sang “love” a few years back and
even that performance was dreadful and boring. Neffe and Frankie are HOOD as
all get out. Now that’s cool, but damn not at the awards show. Neffe’s ta-tas were
spilling out, and Frankie’s ghetto azz dropped it like was hot during the red carpet,
no no mama Frankie.

7. Marvin Sapp brought the house down!!!!!!!!! He is a true artist for real and I’m glad
he won. D. L. Hugley no he wrong for calling him Warren Sapp.

8. Ne-Yo was actually good, he stepped it up. I love the Jabbawokeez at the end.

9. I’m T-pain’ d out. I get tired of hearing Flo Rida and “low”, it’s time for a new single
boo. I loved Luda’s verse though.

10. Al green tore it up. Lol at him thanking the BET Academy. Liked Jill Scott and
Anthony Hamilton. Love, Love MAXWELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. Nelly’s performance was sub-par. Ciara’s mic was jacked up, and JD need to sit
down somewhere. Fergie was ok i suppose.

12. Rihanna was ok, NOT GREAT by any means. I agree with many who said she is
more the MTV crowd than BET, that’s true for sure. Yeah she look great, but I
wouldn’t pay to see her live ever.

13. Lil Wayne was just ok, not hating on his success but his performance was not
that hyped. LOL that he thanked GOD in his speech, but when he performed he
was bleeped every other word

One more thing, BET needs to FIRE their audio tech or whoever is over sound audio because every single year they have audio issues. Debra Lee needs to quit having these sorry side commentators (Baldwin Hills cast, Frankie and Neffe, etc) on the show. They make it even more lame. You don’t see such buffoonery on the Oscars.

D. L. Hugley was NOT, I repeat NOT a good host. BET better not ever have his non laughing behind host ever again. It was to forced, and he was just CORNY. Note to BET, BRING back MO’ NIQUE ASAP, she’s your best host.

Overall, the awards were a LET DOWN. With the exception of a few good performances, this years show wasn’t hot at all.

Ciara really screwed up Chris Brown’s performance, but i did not give a fuck what she was doing anyway because’s not on nobody’s level. She was degrading herself last night, lastly, she’s gonna be like Teairra Marri who got fired from her lebel because she didn’t got talent in music industry.

Al Greene brought the house down. Maxwell- M A X W E L L- PLEASE RELEASE something new. His performance was wonderful and totally unexpected. Jill Scott and Alicia were beautiful. Rihanna - (yawn, then yawn again) was beautiful, but rather boring. Ciara know she can dance her butt all the way off. Keyshia seemed to have had an off night. SWV and TLC voices were lacking, but good to see them after all this time…Envogue was great.

Rihanna was one of the few who sing live some lip sync some use backing tracks and still sound like shyt (keyshia cole) At least Rihanna sings live

usher & rihanna’s performances were WHACK!…usher fell & tried to play it off & failed…and rihanna was just boring…i was literally counting the seconds until the song was over b/c it was so freakin dull!

and ashanti hiking her dress up so we could damn near see her vajayjay & saying she convinced nelly to do that song w/ j.d. cuz she got that “good good”…ummm…can we all collectively say EWW! GIRL SIT DOWN!…she real desperate to sell her garbage cd!
alicia keys by herself….BORING! but when she brought out swv, en vogue & tlc….HOT! loved seeing the ladies do it big!
WAYNE, kanye, jeezy, t-pain, luda, rick ross, keyshia, lil kim, chris brown/ciara (when she popped over his face….LAWD! i was crackin up!…i wanted 2 get a shot of rihanna’s face right @ that moment!), and Al Green….RIPPED IT!

usher just proved he is no longer king….CHRIS BROWN TOOK THE CROWN!…no surprise there!

the show overall was kinda boring…they need to bring monique back…D.L. wasnt as entertaining as monique always is!

Some of those young cats need to just watch and see how the Masters do it. Al Green killed it. I love him and he was by far the best performance. Also I love seeing Maxwell he sound good and look sexy has hell. Also Alicia killed it. She wrecks every performance she does, I love seeing the old girl groups. For has the rest they need help can the rest was boring.

BET NEEDS TO STOP WITH THE AWARDS SHOW THING PERIOD!! It is always so damn ghetto.CIARA LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS A PART OF THE GHETTO MATRIX,LOOKING LIKE URSHERS MAN ASS WIFE! AND WHY IN THE HELL DID HE OPEN THE SHOW ANYWAY??? ALICIA KEYS IS A FAT HEFFA WITH THAT TIGHT ASS SHIRT ON BRINGING ALL THEM WASHED UP ARTIST TO THE DAMN STAGE! T PAIN WAS HOT BUT COME ON WITH THE GHETTO CIRCUS THEME. NO CLASS! WEEZY IS GREAZY & NEED TO SIT HIS WACK ASS SIZZURP SIPPIN ASS DOWN WITH THAT WACK ASS PERFORMANCE. KANYE SOUNDED LIKE TRIPLE SHYT! AND RICK ROSS AKA (Titty Gravy) embarrassed the hell out of big people looking nasty! Keyshia Cole & lil’kim sucked! Keyshia Cole can’t sing live for shyt & her moms needs MAD help! AL GREEN,NE-YO,RIHANNA,MAXWELL,& ANTHONY HAMILTON WAS THE ONLY REASON TO WATCH THAT DUMB SHOW!STOP HATING ON RIHANNA, BECAUSE CHRIS WILL NEVER LEAVE HER FOR TRANNY-MAN CIARA! 50 CENT, COME GET CHA GIRL/DUDE!! RIHANNA SOLD 5.6 MILLION COPIES OF GG GONE BAD CD & CIARA SOLD 1.7 MILLION, SO WHO SHOULD TAKE NOTES FROM WHO?? THE ONLY WAY SHE CAN GET ATTENTION IS TO DANCE LIKE THE FREAK SHE IS WITH HER MAN BODY! I DOUBT THAT RIRI WAS MAD ABOUT THAT MAN BECAUSE SHE HAS A WOMAN SHAPE! SO STOP SELLING YOUR BODY TO SELL YOUR MUSIC FUNKY B*TCH !
GET IT TOGETHER BLACK FOLKS, OR BARACK OBAMA AIN’T GOT A DAMN CHANCE!!

I thought Ashanti looked great although she was busy and couldn’t perform.

wtf yall talkin bout keyshia for she did good it sounded kinda bad when you watched it at first but if you watch it again it was better than half the other performances and she looked pretty as hell

rihanna sucked as usual she looked like a dead corpes i was like wtf and her hair make her look manish and she cant sing she belongs straight on MTV with the rest of the wack singers and all this TEAM RIHANNA stuff like why yall like her so much she aint doin nothin for you but whatever

usher-sucked

weezy-soo overated the performance was mad boring aint nobody start feelin him till fireman came out talkin bout he got swagg,seriously? cause i dont see it

the female hip hop award hands down shoulda went to TRINA not missy she win every year off of one wack song

neyo-probably the best performance

chris brown-is startin to suck and every since he got wit rihanna he been dressin like a gladiator that shit is so not his style

al green and marvin sapp tore that house down those was the best performances

u saw how chris brown was lipsynching to tha song lol

oh yeah alicia keys-sucked she aint do shit but bring out other people and she deff shouldnt have one best female artist like are you serious keyshia o mary shoulda had that one cause alicia keys songs was mad wack

Rev Al Green, Alicia Keys( all love when beautiful black sistas unite, we need to do it more often, u always pay homage…and alicia did a wonderful job…) Lil Wayne…Did dah damn thing….Chris Brown…(but Ciara help make that)….And Wow Anthony Hamilton Cleans up very well….(yes, yes) Maxwell we miss you come on back sir, you did tha damn thing… I was rooting for keshia cole, she good in my book by default, But vocals coulda been better…
O and who in da hell Ask D. L hugly to host, Somebody else had to call in or off…lol cause i know he just had to be a back up plan, like maybe 4th or 5th. His attire was as wack as his jokes(bless himmm…:”sighhhhs”)…
Love Quincy Jones…
Over All A much better show then last year, just wished they had Mo’nique As the host, steve harvey hell A Real comic….
O….how could i forget, The opening of the show…….ummmmmmmm Next, usher u would of did better singing moving moutains and just stood, there . U was running round the stage all out of breath….I was tired just watching u …..Neyo performance was actually better…
AnyWho
My 2 Cents..

I’m a big fan of keyshia cole and I was disappointed with her performance.Her voice was weak and it seem like she was running out of breath.Usher had on a Mic…hangin from his ear.DUUUUUUUH I liked Ushers performance.Alicia Keys was my favorite I was screamign literrally when I seen all my favorite girl groups up there.Especially …SWV and TLC.and Envogue topped it off before TLC.

Felt kinda weird seeing TLC perform as TLC without lefteye…

And I liked Chris Browns Performance and Rihannas…

Rihanna looks like she was singing to Chris Brown when she was singing take a bow..after seeing that performance with him and Ciara because Chris Brown had this ..indescribable look on his face.

AL green boooooy he can still make folks get up off their feet after all these yrs 75!
Dude is blessed…

so is quincy,they both deserved those awards.

WE ALL KNOW IF QUEEN BEYONCE WAS PERFORMING, SHE WOULD HAVE SHUT THIS DOWN, SHE IS THE BOMB!!!

YOU GET RIHANNA STANDING THERE SCREECHING HER BORING SONG OUT WHICH SHE DIDNT EVEN WRITE, OR KEYISHA AND THE TRANNY LOOKING LIL’ KIM BOUNCING ABOUT ON STAGE MESSING THEIR LINES UP

IM SORRY BUT EVERYONE IS MISSING BEYONCE, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT WHEN SHE DROPS HER NEW ALBUM LATER THIS YEAR, NOONE IS GOING TO HEAR ABOUT RIHANNA OR ALICIA

DAMN I MISS BEYONCE

HER SINGING
HER DANCING
HER PRESENCE

SHES SIMPLY AMAZING.

Ciara has the 1980’s Janet vibe going on…good for her, she has to milk that cow before it’s too late.

Nelly and Fergie did a good show but it could have been better. Was Ciara singing in that performance or lipsynching? stick to dancing Ciara!

TLC and those other girl groups lost their damn voice. What the hell was T-BOZ doing? oh lord. She and Chili kept looking to Alicia for vocal help. They were like dang b****, help a sista out by singing, don’t just stand there and let us screw up.

I don’t like Alicia keys, but I have to give her props.

As for Rihanna, no comment!

Oh, and why didn’t BET have some of Quincy Jones’ artists (those he worked with) sing their songs to honor him? That would have been great because he’s worked with so many people. I would have love to see TAMIA or TEVIN CAMPBELL up on stage.

she got some bajan voodoo on cb….he was dancing and lipsyching in da audience like its da greatest song eva…

Rhi meeds to change that hair cut … it’s getting blah and she’s starting to look masculine with it, Chris and Ciara were good but I love, love, love neyo! Alicia was awsome and Al green definetly brought the house down, lil wayne was also good and so was kanye … overall the performances were good …… oh and USHER SUCKED A@@

Usher seems to treat his singing like a job instead of a something he really enjoys doing. I know he has a new wife and new child, but he should give up singing and do music stuff behind the scene because he does not seem to be into performing anymore. His performance last night was weak, and he lipsynced. If he had Beyonce or Lil Wayne, I’m sure it would have had everyone on their feet.

Um…Although Keyshia Cole is not my favortie anything I will admit that she can hold a note unlike a few other singers out now..But she sucks as a perfomer..She has no rhythm nor stage presence..And as for Lil Kim..I looove her but BYE GIRL…She is definately trippin….
A.Keys was merely perfect all she needs to do is work on her dacncing a bit more..
Ne-Yo………..GREAT
Chris Brown and Ciara….I’ll just wrap it up in two words.. GET IT…They were HOTT
Rick Ross……Loves Him
Lil Wayne…Definately was amazing
Young Jeezy and Kanye……. Loved It even tho Kanye is not my favorite…
Nelly…He’s sexy but it might be his time to retire…Hate the song and the performance was just a mess…..Fergie looked nice tho….
Rihanna it bored me a lot but she’s so stylish that I just shut up right now about her.
T-Pain..What a fooolllll..But I enjoyed him on stage….
Al Green and the Tribute….Absoloutely FANTABULOUS… Jill Anthony and Maxwell did extraordinary jobs…….

i read a post where someone said usher wasnt lipsynching b/c he had a mic on….umm, thats basically decoration!…part of lipsynching is making u believe they’re actually performing…hence, wearing or holding a mic!

and i have to agree, although i never thought i would say this *insert shocked face here* i kinda missed beyonce! after sitting through rihanna i was looking for her! i will go ahead and say it….i was looking for….Queen Bey! lol

and if I could add. JJABBAWOCKIES….Loves them
and for USHER…JUST QUIT>>>We know u can sing and dance but it looks like ur gettting to old to still do it….
Leave it to Chris Brown and Ne-Yo
They are much better than you have been..Sorry to say……
I wish we would have gotten to see more of the lovely Jordin Sparks and the Sexy Trey Songz…They both should have perfomed instead of Usher and Keyshia…Sorry to say..but that’s all for now

OK i;ll keep it short

BEST OF THE NIGHT:
Alicia keys and the girls-En vogue? what? need i say more.
Al Green tribute- good to see maxwell
Neyo & Jabbawockeez
Chris n CiCi

WORST:
Usher…YAWN
TPain is a hot azz MESS
Love Kanye but him and Jeezy coulda stayed in the audience
Wayne? How was that a good performance and why did 1500000 ppl have to come on stage for his award win?
Keyshia looked GORGEOUS but the vocals wasn’t doing it

I didn’t even watch the show because I had to work.
But after reading the comments, looks like I haven’t missed much.
The only BET awards I ever liked was the one when Beyonce performed De Ja Vu for the first time…I think that was back in 05
But the awards show reflects the whole network, I’ve been tired of BET because BET has become tired.

I knew the show was going to be a disappointment since Beyonce, and Ashanti didn’t perform cuz these two are the true performance with skills to this type of shows unlike Keyshia Cole or whatever that girl name is oh year Ciara who just embarrassing themselves by screaming for no reason and doing do nasty dance.

@ 205 shut da hell up cuz DATS HOW MANY RECORDS RIHANNA SOLD WORLDWIDE… SHE ONLY SOLD 1.3 MILL N DA U.S AND CIARA SOLD 1.3 MILLION N DA U.S AND CICI DIDNT EVEN HAVE A #1 SINGLE… HELL SHE DIDNT EVEN HAVE A TOP TEN SINGLE ON DA HOT 100… AND SHE TIL SOLD SO SHUT DAT SHIT UP!

Lil Wayne is by far the most overrated rapper when theres like 30 better rapper than him JUST in the MAINSTREAM. Its cuz females only follow other peoples opion and shit thats hot.

So what if he sold 1 mill in a week? So? Vanilla Ice sold like 20 mill does that mean he was talented?

You females are some groupie ass muthafuckas.

Wayne is so overrated and average its sad that you see one comment saying Wayne is better than Jay-Z

Jay-Z, Pac, Outkast, Nas, Pun, Big, Game, Lloyd Banks, Fabolous, Crooked I, Kurupt, Beanie Sigel, DMX, Ice Cube, Scarface, Bun B, Method Man, Redman, Eminem, AZ, Krayzie Bone, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Yukmouth and like 50 other rappers are better than this fake nigga

I mean this nigga aint even better than niggas like Luda let alone “Best Rapper Alive”

Get the fuck outta here you groupie ass muthafuckas. You tricks are money hungry and love the niggas with hype.
