The performances was hot. But Usher really suck!!! He lip synch and everything. Just boring. It was good to see Dawn back with EnVogue. I love that group.

I LOVED Chris Brown and Ciara, but it was only a teaser, I want to see more. I hope they work together again in the future. @ Tweet, Rihanna for some reason was smiling from ear to ear when Ciara was dancing over Chris. I’m starting to think maybe they are just friends.

CIARA, I FUCKIN LOVED U SEXY ASS, THE WAY SHE WAS GRINDIN IT WAS RIDICULOUS, TOP NOTCH BABY. I DIDNT KNO SHE COULD MOVE LIKE THAT, DAAAMMMNNNNN

I looooooooved Neyo and Alicias performances!!! Neyo really stepped up his game and Alicia killed it! Bringing out all of those old groups were genius! I was like, where Xscape at? LOL

Usher freakin lip-synched…I was very disappointed…

AL Green was the definition of a legend! He was great!!

Marvin Sapp was very good as well.

Rhianna was nice and simple…her voice was aiight….Keyshia’s voice was……well at least she looked nice

Chris Brown n Ciara did their thing. I just wish it was longer….But Best Male R&B performance had to go to NEYO! I just loved him..

WEEZY KILLED IT!! I looove him!

Dayum CiCi! that chick killed it and i love her! Ms. Keys put it down…wig and all! Keyshia not so much, and her sisters boobies were falling out of the dress :( Jeezy was ok, but why the hot ass vest kanye? Neyo was classic and clean lov’d it! The BET Awards is still snubbed by so many because half of the winners (kobe & missy) didnt even bother to show. All in All good job BET!

17.

Kynara

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

i agree with #1..usher’s performance put me 2 sleep..da dancin was “okay..” but real performers can sing & dance at da same time..lip synchin’s da easy way out..in my opinion..alicia’s was surprising. “weak” is my jam..chili will never age..lol. but was it jus me, or did da mic’s sound kinda weird all night? idk..chris brown and ciara’s performance was hott..even tho ciara and alicia keys was rockin da same hair do..oh & al green was a trip…

18.

Juicy SuperStar

Oh and T-PAIN…..

Ummmm Hey Soul Circus people I think he would be perfect on tour with you all as a clown…. Can he sing???? You know without the machine, Im just wondering???

Rick Ross - Wow, that was alot but I like your style…lol

19.

Rihanna: BORING and her hair is starting to make her look like a man.. Beyonce should have been there. Rhi should take notes from at least alicia.

20.

Usher, that was the worst i have ever seen you perform. Keyshia Cole and Mel B looked lovely. Ciara and Chris should’ve kept the gyrating at home. Kids were at the awards, too. En Vogue killed it. They look and sounded like nothing changed. Nelly, you sucked too.

21.

LeLee looked great! That Cici and CB ‘Take You Down’ performance was on some ‘Promise’ type stuff, lol. Whoo, Maxwell!!! Fergie did well. John Legend, please. I’m just glad he introduced because I wasn’t quite ready to go to sleep. Diddy is promoting the hell out of Ciroc…I can’t even lie, I got some here at the house and it’s smooth as hell. Jordin looks sooo out of place. Queen looks nice as always. I wouldn’t be surprised if Quincy Jones hasn’t hit on Alicia since he’s know her. He loves young women.

24.

I missed it..Ciara looks REAL GOOD!!!

Maxwell’s & Al Green’s performances were the best hands down. Maxwell’s swagger was so great. He still sounds really good. I liked Jill & Anthony Hamilton also

26.

WOW

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Neyo & A. Keys hands down had the best performance but Chris B & Ciara was insanely sexy!!!!

Poor Usher….smdh

27.

Nothing But Love

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Rhi Rhi did good…haters need to give it a rest.

Chris and Ciara was alright, im not one to get easily excited

Alicia Keys….BEST preformance of the night she SAVED the show.

28.

UP 2 U

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Rihanna sucked wiv her performance, she cant sing live or entertain on stage she sucked like always. Why does she do this to herself? Her talent game is OVER this was a chance to step her game up and she sucked assss like always..I know Rihanna stans think Im hating and tell me to shut up but THAT is the truth we saw it with our own eyes, so if you cant stand it deal with it!!

Now Ciara and Chris Brown’s performance was crazy, very entertaining..they looked good together they both can move well.

Usher looked sexy but the performance was okay, not mind blowing

Weezy and T-Pain - Loved it!!

29.

#3, it was just a dance, so I would hope she wouldn’t be mad about it. Chicks used to crack me up in the club when they would see their man dancing with another chick. It’s like, damn, he’s going home w/you, just chill, lol.

30.

JustCurious

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

UMMMMM…. JUST A QUESTION: Where was BEYONCE????! I know she’s in LA filming her new film, so I’m curious as to why she decided to skip the BET Awards? I thought Destiny’s Child was gonna be the next group to come out after TLC, but none of them were there. I guess BET isn’t on their level anymore…..

31.

WTF?

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

The performances were some of the best I had seen thus far…

However, i never knew Rihanna was such a poor singer/entertainer… I revere her fashion sense, and I know her solo concert sales did poorly and she was added to Ciara’s tour.. but seriously- her singing made me very uneasy due to it’s ameturism..

they are sponsering her out of the tail though- so kudos to that.

Any die hard fans: I am not a “hater”; just a commentator on last nights’ events like the rest of you. I made sure to drop both a comment and a compliment- so spare me in advance.

Rihanna didn’t mind cuz she gettin the D forreal!! lol

Overall, the show was wack. Marvin (Warren) Sapp and Al Green’s performances saved the show from being a complete mess a la The Source Awards! Alicia wasn’t on par until she bought the 90’s girl groups out. But Where was Xscape? Weezy was iight he couldve been better. Rihanna bored me. Chris Brown was….Ciara saved him cause I was about to change the channel. Ashanti was too HYPE when she got on stage to introduce Nelly. I’m was thinking to myself “If only your “fans” were as hype over you as you are over Nelly maybe you wouldve pushed more units” Hopefully next year things will be better.

Oh yeah D.L. bored the hell outta me!

34.

BaddestJawnEva!

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

The only problem wit usher was the lip-synched…but it really was a great performance…i guess since you open the show u gotta give more than that and that was the problem cuz he didnt due the lip-synching….

Neyo really surprised me..he becoming a better performer..because due to the previous awards show they were boring….

conclusion, this wasnt the best awards show they had..they had to many people performing the same way(Usher, Neyo, Chris Brown)….and most of the songs were old and tired of hearing that were nominated…and DL wasnt a good host…..

35.

Kynara

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

OH! how’d i forget about da jabbawockees..! now that was hott to me..i love neyo’s song..oh keyshia did look nice lol..

36.

Khia Fan (R-E-S-P-E Respect Me!!)

I OFFICIALLY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE ALICIA KEYS!!!! THANKYOU SO SO MUCH SISTER FOR BRINGING BACK AND DOING SUCH WONDERFUL TRIBUTES WITH THREE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GIRL GROUPS. TOO OFTEN THESE CATS DONT GET ENOUGH PROPS IN THIS DAYS AND AGE BUT YOU’RE TRULY A STAR!!!!!

ALICIA IS ALWAYS ON POINT WHEN SHE’S LIVE.

AND MAYBE IT’S JUST ME, BUT I LOVED KEYSHIA COLE’S PERFORMANCE. HER AND LIL’ KIM GO SO WELL TOGETHER, GO TOGETHER LIKE HAND AND GLOVE.

37.

Keyshia Cole is my little brother!
Rihanna look like my nasty cousin.
Lil’ Kim, Love her, but she “look like it hurts.”
A. Keys, shape is bad, but why wear an outfit that brings out your saddlebags?
SWV….Who burnt the hotdogs? What did they get - a pair of shoes for the performance. The one with the squished teeth…with some one size fit all leggins on. I bet she was weak in the damn knees.
T.Boz pants came from DEB or Rainbow or some grocery store strip mall store?
Usher stinks…..LMAO & Chili should get her hair blown out straight and get rid of some that damn kindergarten antique ass hair she got. Damn, she’s scared of getting a haircut.
Tamika tired of usher not repping her other babies…just their one. They prolly beefin over that! or cuz he stinks. LMAO.

And ain’t En Vogue still dope? Love them.

Don’t Rihanna look like her fingers stink? Like coochie?

USHER should not have opened the show. His show was mediocre at the most. Keyshia is my girl and I love her since she was on Video Soul as a little girl but she has to work on the BET Live performances. Her vocals were way off. Love the other acts.

41.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

fyi, quincy jones’s autobio, “Q” is a good read–check it out…he’s the granddaddy i always wanted. lmao.

definitely enjoyed the al green tribute–maxwell almost made me pass out. lol. & jill was sounding and looking fly as usual.

besides that….ehhhhh—-marvin sapp, alicia keys, ne-yo. i felt like ne-yo took a greater risk with his dancing, and that was good to see.

i love keyshia, but just speaking from a musician’s standpoint, she has awesome songs, but NEVER sounds good live. but i guess mary sounded like that the first few years of her career as well. i hope she gets some more vocal training because she’ll need it if she wants to sustain her career.

rihanna’s audience is NOT bet, and it was evident last night….she belongs on mtv. she has more of a pop, international sound and look. she tried, but it wasn’t working. i feel sorry for her. lol.

Alician Keyes, Al Green, Maxwell, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, EnVogue, TLC, & SWV after that they could have shut down. Oh and the man that sang the gospel song. When you have talent you don’t have to come on the stage grinding and simulating sex. That is too take away from you can’t sing. This talent is getting worst and worst that’s coming out. I hope EnVogue put out a new album and Maxwell please stop playing. I think Johnny Gill would have been great blend in that Al Green tribute. But it is time to bring singers back now. I feel like all of these young ladies just scream the song out. But all and all that show gets worst every year. I probably won’t bother too even watch it next year. Becaue it’s pretty much the same performances every year. I mean have they ever hear of KEM or Will Downing.

TEMPTATION

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Tha awarlooked kinda wack… I saw the performances on bet.com and there was tooo much R&B, they should have mixed it up. But The perfomances where okay, could have been better.

48.

myy

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

looooooved the ciara n Chris brezzy preformance

49.

$$$

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

here are my takes (if anyone cares. Lol)

Usher- hella weak ! um what happened to the beyonce/lil wayne collabo ? I felt a lil bamboozled by his performance.

Young Jeezy & Kanye West could’ve kept they asses at home w/ that weak performance. DONE !

Keyshia Cole- her shit was wack ! her vocals & style have improved and that’s about it. she needs to hire Fatima (Aaliyah’s choregraphy) cause watching her dance is like watching Ashanti move around w/ her 2-left feet

Alicia Keys - I loved it ! the girl-group concept was nice.

Ne-yo- I thought his performance was boring until he brought out the jabbawockeez in the end. I love them ! Team Jabbawockeeeeez

T-pain & Friends- My question would be, why must t-pain bring that tom foolary to the BET awards, it’s bad enough he had the fckin’ hat on looking like something bootlegged from Alice & Wonderland. he slayed me.

Al Green- best performance ! no further commentary.

Chris Brown & Ciara- Oh My, that’s all I can say. If you weren’t a Chris Brown fan before, last night should’ve made you one cause that lil boy is talented.

Rihanna- I’m Team Rihanna all day so I can’t say anything negative about her, she isn’t the best singer however, last night she sang that song better then I’ve ever heard her sing live cause I mean let’s face it, she’s a gorgeous girl, but she can’t sing. not a little, no a bit, not a tad, not at all. I still love her though :)

Nelly, Fergie, Jermaine & Ciara- two words, 3 syllables ; hell-uh wack ! don’t get me wrong I love nelly (’specially them abs yummy ) but I mean, they could’ve had him perform that shit on 106 & park the PRE-SHOW !

Lil Wayne- overrated ! I’ma Wayne fan too but let’s be fa real, what was the fuss really about ? I felt like I was watching the Source Awards, shit was insane.

So that’s my take on the performances, we won’t get into the fashion, all I have to say is Lil Mama got my vote for best dressed (that says alot if you ask me )

peace & love

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Top of the list: Alicia with all the Original Divas,Mr. Al Green,Keyshia and Kim rocked it, Kim looked fantastic, she had that tummy tucked. Jeezy was jamming had to turn the bass up, had my neighbors rolling their eyes this morning. Lil Wayne made me get off the couch. Oh and that salute to Al Green by that sexy ass Maxwell, I am so glad he’s back.
They should have kept Rhianna ass in the audience, let her sing during intermission while the cameras were off.

Kudos to Alicia for letting En Vouge, SWV and TLC on her set there THE ONLY 3 GIRL GROUPS THAT MATTER!!

Destinys Child Who?????

55.

10piece

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Ciara killed that shit! Especially when I thought she was going to fall over and Chris picked her up with his leg…Wow.

Rihanna’s performance could’ve been more entertaining but atleast she sang live unlike some fool married to a man…eka.

It wasn’t Alicia that killed it, it was all the great music from my childhood with SWV, Envogue and TLC- I feel old they looked like they really aged except the Envogue crew.

56.

I'D KILL FOR MEGAN GOODE'S BODY

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

I was disappointed w/ Usher’s performance also…Neyo’s was better, surprisingly. I think Rihanna’s voice was great, the best I’ve ever heard live(tv live) from her.. Al Green was the best

57.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

BARBIE…I have to agree with you…I was never the biggest Ne-Yo fan. After a while his songs got very redundant and eventhough he put on a good stage show it never persuaded me to think differently about him

BUT LAST NIGHT HE CHANGED MY MIND TREMENDOUSLY!!!!! EITHER THAT OR I REALLY MUST’V BEEN BORNED FROM THE PREVIOUS PERFORMERS…HE PEPPED THE SHOW UP FOR ME…

And he brought out the Jabbawockeez which was extra cool!!!

I can truly say I’m a Ne-Yo fan (performances) And I just might get that album now…

@ 34 I agree Neyo had performed 3 years in a row and I am a huge fan of his

65.

RIRI is the hottest chic in the game

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Last night I learned…

1. Ciara is untouchable & Chris Brown is a better dancer than Usher
2. Alicia Keys is the sh*t, loved EnVogue and SWV!!!!!
3.BET needs to hire some hosts / talent that speak english
4.Al Green is a GREAT entertainer
5. Kanye is actually a nice guy
6. Chris Brown is REALLY in love with RiRi, did anyone else see that expensive heart shaped necklace she was rockin?? Cute couple!!
7.RiRi is not a great singer but I always like her songs. I would love to see her do some more dance hall though, she actually used to be a good dancer.

She is successful b/c she knows how to pick a great song and that is what it takes to become a pop star. She says she was the one that picked Umbrella and Unfaithful and not her record company. She said she also picked Disturbia after CB helped write it….she also knows how to market herself and her style. RiRi is fly!

66.

UM...I GUESS

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

loved keyshia, chris. al green/tribute (MAXWELL♥) and alicia keys and all the girl groups…what a treat!!

however, i was sooo disappointed in rihanna’s performance! it was so dry. but as always she looked great and it actually seemed like her vocals have improved :)

67.

SweetThang729

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Did anyone peep Jeezy during Keyshia’s performance…around the time when she takes the dress off and she starts dancing…they show him in the audience saying “that’s my baby” How cute

Usher, Jeezy, Yeezy, and sorry Keyshia you all could’ve stayed home or just watched without any performing…

Ne-Yo started the show for me…eventhough I thought Alicia could’ve opened besides Usher especially with her special guests…that was an opening performance!!!! BET get it together…

WAYNE RIPPED IT WITH HIS ENERGY AND I GOTTA GIVE T-PAIN PROPS TOO B/C THAT MAN RIPPED IT ON STAGE AND DIDN’T EVEN DO ONE OF HIS OWN SONGS….HE IS THE RINGLEADER, DEAL WITH IT!!!!!! Even showed Kanye the correct way to do the autotone LIVE

68.

Maitai

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Wow, that was a step up from last year. Usher………………was dancing as if he had gum on the bottom of his shoe!LOL! His performance was not what I expected. I love Keyshia, but I’ve seen her live and the performance she gave last night was better; and that is a terrible thing. Can u say tone deaf? T-Pain needs meds, Alicia was a freaking genius, Marvin Sapp was inspiring, Al brought the old school, Ne-yo needs to loosen up his slacks, and Lil’ Wayne is officially my favorite rapper of all time!

CB was jamming harder to Take A Bow than anyone else it was cute

They need to stop playing they are a couple

Missy wins Best Female Hip Hop artist every damn year and she put out 1 song

@ 61 I love me some Neyo and I own his last two cds and I was debating if I was going to but his new one but after last night I just might.

The overall award show was ok. Performance thatI enjoyed are alicia and company breath of fresh air, neyo never thought he could bring it but he did, al green legendary he brought the house down, he had thugs doing the two step lol. Chris brown and CiCi killed yet and he was actually singing he put Usher to shame. Nelly was ok. The millionaire man Lil wheezy killed it me personally he should have opened the show. The worst performance of the night was the opening by Usher below par he is officially washed up, he was off balance throughout the dance and simple no excitment. Keisha need to stop smoking, she was out of breath and straining her voice; why was she running around on stage like a foolthats not dancing and her family no comment HAM. Jeezy and Kanye no comment. T-pain can not sing w/o that thing in is mouth.

Usher performance was so whack yo.They gave him the opening number and i was dissapointed.I have been waiting all year for this award show and this is what they bring.Usher could have came harder.The buz that beyonce and lil wayne was suppose to be joining him did him no good. i really think he needed them to make his show better.And he lip snced the entire song.i was so mad yo.and then he tried to hit a note towards the end and fails lol.Whats goin on usher.Chris brown stills the show.He cleaned it up yo.One of the best perfromances all night.Usher needs to take notes.So know i can respect chris brown when he says he is the prince of r and b cuz he is.He runs circles around usher and he gives u a show.Usher has los it yo.Nice to see ciara on the scene she killed it as always.And alicia keys was so amazing bringin back all the old girl groups.i kept saying bring out more but she only did 3 lol.Alicia sung her but off and looked amazing and i was surprised to see her not sittin behind that piano so good look on that alicia.The host dl hugley is not funny yo.BET u should have kept mo nique on there.Monique has been the best host since u guys started doin that so next awards let her host it please.DL HUGLEY IS FORCED LAUGHTER AND NOBODY WANTS THAT YO.

People talkin bout Rihana wasnt good but can we take a minute to speak up on KEYSHIA?!?! bc this is bout the MILLIONTH time shes gotten on stage and just fell apart! when is somebody gon pull the plug. you know i love the fact that shes down to earth but between this year and last year it would have been wise to get some help with public performing.

And in general, BET was half stepping… Mic’s trippin, people not knowing where to go off stage, those little side introduction (the cast of BH, and KC’s momma) . Just really on some second class type stuff. and im ALL FOR supporting my people but if you gon do it PUHLEASE come correct!

@ 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.

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.

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!

@ 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.

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

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.

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.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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 :-)

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

Yeah I said it... And What?

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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 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

168.

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

She had that Chang a Ling song out, and that ish wasn’t even an official single. That was a soundtrack song.

@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.

@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.

181.

I SPEAK THE TRUTH

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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.

8) 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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

199.

My V-O-T-E matters

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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.

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!

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 !

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….

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.

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.

213.

what the fudge?

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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!

214.

My V-O-T-E matters

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.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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.

218.

???huh????

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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

220.

???huh????

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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

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.

Kay

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

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.

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.

And 4 the Khia fan talking about the dance was disgraceful, it was just a performance get over it. No one was actually having sex. I’m the type not to get into the whole slutty, sex thing, and I liked it. So like Ci Ci say stop getting all “hot, and bothered”. Calm it down a couple of notches, u blowin it all outta proportion

Ciara and Chris Brown killed that shit. Keyshia sucked ass…and her dancing was as bad as it gets. Usher was just OKAy…Neyo was actually suprisingly good…i enjoyed him…didn’t know he could get down like that…Alicia Keys was just okay to me too…T-BOZ should never touch a mike again…horrible singing. Al Green had me jammin to his songs and im only 17…that man…whooo…he’s good. Nelly was okay…more toward the WACK side…Rihanna was actually better than usual to me…she was actually okay. Ashanti…she needs to give it up…NOW!!! Who cares if Beyonce wasn’t there by the way…she’s not doing anything now..why would you expect her to b there.

All I can say is Ciara got alot of haters. I guess u can call me a stan; but DAMN!!! Shit her haters, are worse than her stans, shit yall be riding her to heaven, hell, and back. Slow down. The woman has a beautiful voice not powerhouse vocalist, she can dance her ass off, and she can perform, she’s smart, beautiful, makes good music with meaning, not just dance music (buy her albums, don’t just listen to her singles, she really can get deep with her music, real talk). And if the only way she can get attention is by dancing, why does her albums go platinum?????. Albums consist of vocals, not dancing, not watching her dance, you use ur ears to listen to albums, its called music, u don’t use ur eyes. I coulda sworn Goodies went 2X platinum, and The Evolution went platinum, and some, those are strictly vocals/music no dancing, if the songs make u wanna dance its a plus. People get over Ciara she ain’t hurtin nobody.

Some people are foolish

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

It was some ish lastnight….

Usher: How you gonna come out lip singing like that, that was pure tragedy…But his dancers and stuff was on point, can’t say the same for him…DISGUSTED!

Jeezy/Kanye: That’s my song so I have to give respect(did anyone peep Rihanna trynna dance during his performance, looking very stupid)…Kanye I’m so0o disgusted, HE COULDN’T EVEN REMEMBER HIS OWN WORDS….WTF!!

Keyshia Cole/Lil Kim: Keyshia looked stunning that pull off dress was the business, but she needs to learn how to sing the song and cut all the adlibbs out…Lil Kim ohh man, her face look like a train wreck…COULDA BEEN 100x’s BETTER!

Marvin Sapp: They needed some Jesus up in there after all that cursing, they couldn’t even edit their raps…BUT HE BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN!

Alicia Keys/SWV/En Vogue/TLC: How somebody gonna say why she got so many awards?? Did you hear her acceptance speech, she won cause she’s a beautiful, black intelligent woman, with a lot of talent…AINT NOTHING TO SAY STRAIGHT FIRE!

Al Green: I had to get up and start dancing cause, HE DID THE THANG!

Chris Brown/Ciara: Nuff said it was HAWT!! Chris needed Ciara cause him by himself was extra wack..Rihanna had on the fake as$ smile, I wasn’t buying the act for the camera @ all..

Tpain/Rick Ross: T-Pain did his thing his stage show was crazy with the circus…But like he said he’s the RINGLEADER…Rick Ross I can’t even be mad be proud that your a big boy, he did his thingie…

Rihanna: *talkin like Webbie* SIT DOWN, that was the wackest performance ever…There’s a big stage and your only in 1 spot, her stage presence is a 0…Also, it sounded like it was pre-recorded but maybe that’s just me…

Lil Wayne/Tpain: It was alright I mean the stage show wasn’t nothing like that was ridiculous, but they held it down…LMAO @ Tpains T-WEAZY shirt..

Usher - STOP and go home. Your performance was horrid!!

Alicia Keys - I love this woman! She is a great performer. I really enjoyed her concert as well.

Rihanna - Did not sound all that bad, but she was NOT better than A. Keys like Ms. Rose seems to think *rolls eyes*

Chris Brown/CIara - Loved the dance routine…HOT

Keyshia Cole - Honey stop smoking them trees, they put a strain on your voice and you lose your breath quickle…hence to your out of breath performance lastnight.

Neyo - Who is usually so extra, did pretty damn good.

Al Green/Maxwell - Can I just say that I have fallen in love with Maxwell all over again?

After reading several blogs, it has dawned on me that CL is the best. A breath of fresh air. Not bias and gives credit where credit is due.

As for other blogs who shall remain nameless…smh hate to give credit where credit is due based on their personal dislike of certain artists..it’s so childish and hate like. Thank God for CL!!!

@147 Chris Brown is not the reason young black girls are getting pregnant it’s these absent, I don’t have time for my kids parents. I think some people was so upset about what he and CiCi did because they are not comfortable with themselves. These kids don’t have to watch the BET awards to see things like that and get ideas it’s everywhere and everything starts at home.

People can talk all day and half the night about who’s not a good singer, artist, dancer whatever…. it’s just entertainment. These people are all working hard doing what they do to make a living. None of the performances were perfect, and I’ve see a lot better, but these are just regular folk, working at their craft and trying to entertain. Some got it right, some not so right… and others, JUST WRONG!

But they weren’t hurting anybody — just doing what they do.

I was glad to see the Black love, the collaborations and them extending credit to GOD and one another.

Damn!!! I’ve never seen so much hate’in in my life. Usher didn’t sing because of the moves he had to perform (it’s kinda hard to have an ear mic when one has to do flips off multiple levels). And didn’t Chris Brown do the same thing during the MTV awards in 07? Hmm… just sayin’.

It’s funny how everybody was on Usher jock and now people are trying to hate..saying” he is not better than Chis Brown???? FALLBACK!!! Last time I checked Chris Brown has not won multiples of Grammys, sold millions of albums, and made a classic album. Chris is dope don’t get me wrong, great talent, great singer but there is alot of HATIN FOR NO REASON goin on. Just admit it people.

Neyo stepped his game up! Nice performance…. T Pain n Weezy KILLED!!! Lettin u kno Hip Hop aint dead n aint goin ne where!!! N Marvin HE was the BEST SINGER!!!

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

The show was wack! The best performance was the tribute to Al Green. That’s where the singers showed up.

Neyo would be the next best.

Followed by Alicia and crew. It was great to see the old skool groups, but the performance wasn’t polished. Looked like they needed more rehersal time. Truth be told En Vogue was the best of the bunch. They outshined Alicia as well. She looked a mess with the wig and tight jeans.

Chris Brown was not good. Ciara saved his performance.

Usher should have sung live, but his dancing was great.

Keyshia looked great, but the singing was not on point. She did better in the white set. It was entertaining at least.

T-Pain and the circus was too much!

Rihanna was terrible. I could have had a better time watching paint drip. She did not interact with the audience at all. LOL, at the man behind Chris texting. It wasn’t her arena at all. Stick with MTV.

Blaow, I agree with you that Wayne is overrated, but it’s not just females that sing his praises: a lot of dudes think he’s hot as well. Trust me, he didn’t go platinum with just chicks buying that CD. A lot of rappers are “nicer” than Wayne: Fab, Luda, Jada, Nas, Jay (of course), 3000 - and that’s without even really trying to think of people.

Why is everybody hating on RiRi and praising CiCi???? Ciara’s dancing was GREAT and I enjoyed her performance but she CANNOT sing! If it is Ok for Ciara to be a singer why is everybody telling Rihanna to fall back?

I agree MTV & MTV Europe is her audience but the song is doing good on R&B radio so she should have performed on BET last night. I am not into international pop so I don’t like a lot of her stuff but I see why she is big in Europe.

Rihanna is only 20 yrs old and has already sold over 10 million albums…

That is incredible AND I dare anyone to say Ciara is a better singer that Rihanna. I dare you! Ciara is a great dancer and lip singing act. Period!!

Rihanna can also dance ( not as good as Ciara though) but she doesn’t do the dance hall / west indian stuff anymore b/c her music is mostly intl pop music. Haters fall back! Hurry up with that clothing line Rihanna & keep making that money.

To me the baddest rappers alive were TuPAC and Biggie. These two ruled during the 90’s and their rap is still hot today. When these two were around, no other rappers were getting heavy airplay like them. Jayz, Redman, JaRule, 50, etc. were really irrelevant. Only Nas can measure up to what Tupac and Biggie were.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /

Anybody who says something negative about Alicia’s performance is just a hater… The woman sang so beautifully…octave after octave…so gracefully and mannnn was she moving!! It was PERFECT and what might have seemed unpolished about the performance was really Alicia’s being smart enough to be conscious of the song’s retaining their original sound…this was for the groups she’d invited…if you noticed, when Alicia began the intro by singing the first verse of “I get so weak” it was obviously understated…that was so that SWV could shine NOT because they needed to rehearse more…It was PERFECT.

Keyshia’s performance sucked but did anybody see John Legend’s girl laughing at them? The camera was on her as she whispered into John’s ear and he seem to peer (look harder) at something and they laughed…maybe it wasn’t negative but I saw the performance and I really don’t see it being good…

Ciara’s dance with Chris was raunchy…she looked like she was going to bite his head off after their little simulated mating… LAME and GHETTO.

Rihanna sounded BEAUTIFUL…so there goes the “she can’t sing” thing…her songs are just not conducive to the BET Awards. She should have never been in the lineup.

T-Pain bores me and I can’t see why Wayne wants to do an album with him…

Nelly’s music is such hot garbage.

Kanye was acting so gangster even Jeezy was shocked…lol Kanye looked a tad bit fake in that but he definitely was the most entertaining rapper after Wayne.

Al Green…SPEECHLESS. THE BEST PERFORMANCE AT ANY AWARD SHOW IN MY LIFETIME EVER!!!!

Its not about Range (Vocal Range). Its about the sound of the voice singing, and quality. With that said sit here, and tell me Rihanna sounds better than Ciara? I will admit Rihanna sung well in here performance; but, Ciara sounds better than Rihanna singing, period. I think people get mad at Ciara cause she’s a double standard, well actually more than double standards. But, get mad cause she can sing (beautiful voice) and dance; in which their jealousy starts to take over. This is about my last comment, I just had to get that out. Think about it, and sleep on it

I must say, everyone who comes on concreteloop.com is either desperate to insult an artist, angry, ignorant, or just write comments before they think. Although i respect those who gave comments without insulting other artist, some of us “BLACK PEOPLE” really need to grow up. Why are you insulting Alicia Keys because she’s boring? Why are you insulting Ciara because she could not sing? Why are you insulting Ashanti who did not even perform because she was busy and currently doing well with her new Album? Why are you black people degrading yourself. Instead of supporting ya black artist, do not criticize them.

You know it’s funny how so many people have been saying, Beyonce needs to sat down, she needs to take a break, she needs to let someone else shine but when she is’nt present, a lot of people are saying,where is Beyonce?, She could of showed up she’s in Ca., the show was’nt the same without Beyonce etc.. Wow, damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

The show had some very entertaining highlights, Neyo was very polished and smooth, Chris and CiCi were sizzling, Alicia was good with all the girl groups, Keyshia did her thing and the tribute to Al Green was great. Luv Maxwell, miss the crazy hair but I enjoyed seeing him perform, almost wished he had broke out with one of his songs. But Mr. Al Green was just amazing, no props, no back up dancers, just came out there and turned it out had everyone dancing and singing there and the people at home as well. That old school music, you can’t beat it!!

Ne-yo I am not a fan, but again wow.

AL Green had my boyfriend and I dancing around the room.

Alicia, SWV, The real Envogue, were on point.

LOL @ the Rihanna stans mad cause Ciara worked Chris ass over something good. That performance was extremely hot! Yall can hate on Cici if you want to but remember Chris chose her to perform with not the other way around. He could have easily chose his chick Rihanna but I guess he wanted a great performance and he knew she wouldnt be able to deliver.

Usher- disappointment, his dancing was cool but he definitely shudda did the remix with Wayne & Beyonce…Yes, I missed Beyonce, lol!

Alicia Keys- Im not crazy about her but bringing out SWV, En Vogue & TLC was definitely my favorite part of the show!

Young Jeezy & Kanye- I liked the performance, Kanye shudda performed Flashing lights or something tho

T-pain etc- They were good, I loved Luda’s verse on the remix so that was a good look…Ross know he wrong for that exposure though, lol

Keyshia Cole- Mess! Vocals didn’t sound good at all, but she looked cute; Lil Kim was alright

Marvin Sapp- Very good performance

Rihanna- Love her and all but that was boring! She should’ve performed another song but her vocals were pretty ok during ‘Take a bow’

Ne-yo- Pretty good performance, even though I found my self laughing at some of his dances, didn’t even realize the dancers were my one of my favs: the Jabbawockeez!

Chris Brown- Talented and all but better than Usher? That’’s a stretch…For me his performance with Ciara was one of the highlights & even better than Usher’s but that’s because Ciara saved him during Take you down… Im so over ‘With you’

Nelly- Boring, other than looking at eye candy (Nelly) & waiting for Ciara’s part I felt no reason to watch…But then that’s probably because I dnt really like either of his singles

Lil Wayne- He got the crowd hype so that was a good look, performing ‘A Millie’ was a good way to end the show

And what’s with half the ppl who won not being there and the poor attendance? It seemed as though there were hardly any important ppl there…Mary? Beyonce? Jay-Z, anyone, please? And they need not ask D.L Hugely to host again, ever. I agree about the awards too, while talented etc, I’m tired of the awards going to the same ppl- Denzel, Halle, MISSY?! What did she do, that Ching-a-ling song was also terrible (Shoot, I would not have even been mad if Lil Mama got that), Chris Brown (very typical) they could have easily given that to Ne-yo or Raheem or something, at least Raheem got an award tho & I definitely didn’t expect The Dream to win that award, wow… Anyway, overall it was wack…BET needs to come harder next year!

Done now, lol

WOWW!!! USHER WHAT HAPPEN?! SWV WAS A MESS,T-BOZ OF TLC WHAT DA HELL?! OVER ALL I MUST SAY THE PERFORMANCES THIS YEAR WAS STRA8.

y’all stop hatin’ so much. Now i agree that keisha cole’s performance was the worst I’ve seen her, Usher for him @ is level did worse than I”ve ever seen him, I loved Young Jeezy’s song, but his performance sucked w/o Kanye!! T-Pain got on my f**n nerves, RIck Ross the belly was too much-had a Fatman scoop moment, but Nelly did good, chris brown and ciara left you wantin’ more, Rihanna’ s voice was on point but I expected more, this was Ne-yo’s best performance and it wasn’t all that but he had a flawless one, Al green and his guests(LOVING MAXWELL!!!) was the best of the show. Alicia’s performance left you wanting more, En Vogue outshone everybody, they needed x-scape to set it off too!! swv and tlc looked a hot mess outfit wise, but chili was flawlesss, Wayne gave a great performance, and so did Marvin Sapp!! i don’t usually like bet awards, but this was a good one!!!

The performances were some of the best I had seen thus far…

However, i never knew Rihanna was such a poor singer/entertainer… I revere her fashion sense, and I know her solo concert sales did poorly and she was added to Ciara’s tour.. but seriously- her singing made me very uneasy due to it’s ameturism..
*************************************************************************************************
I like Rihanna but I agree with you. Her concerts are nothing but a big Fashion Show. And on top of it all, She gets the WORST Reviews. For someone with SO MUCH STYLE, SWAGGER, ATTITUDE, SOME CATCHY ASS SONGS AND PRETTY GOOD BODY OF WORK THUS FAR, HER PERFORMANCES DONT MATCH HER HYPE WHATSOEVER! I’M SORRY!!!

BEYONCE: PERFORMANCES ALWAYS MATCHED THE HYPE & SWAGGER

CHRISTINA AGUILERA: PERFORMANCES ALWAYS MATCHED THE HYPE & SWAGGER

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE:PERFORMANCES ALWAYS MATCHED THE HYPE & SWAGGER.

SAME COULD BE SAID ABOUT USHER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BET AWARS THE OTHER NIGHT! LMAO!!!

Ciara was a star before but that performance with Chris B. just took her to another level… That was an iconic performance!!!! That picture is going to make her and Chris legends!!! Trust!!!!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………

No it was not! Go click on youtube or got to your local Club!

To be a legend you have to be different, No way is Chris or CICI different!
Go to youtube and it is some girls that will give CICI a run for her money!
Chris aint no Michaeal Jackson,one performance and now you are headed to be a legend!

People is very quick now to call these young genration Legends and Icon,Do we even know the difference!

People didn’t start calling Janet an Icon until the All For You Era! She had some major great performance but it came with time! Before she was just Michael Jackson little Sister!

Can CICI switch up her dancing style? Can Chris take from Michael and call it his own?

3 to 6 yrs from Now are we going to look back at these performance and say they were Iconic(sp) and that they made these performance their’s? No cause Janet did the whole sexual rountine during ALL FOR YOU Era and Usher did it when he song to Monica and danced with beyonce. Justin did it with Janet! DC3 did a whole rountine to!

It was a great performance but to say it is a Iconic moment NO!

Plus people say to calm down, not everyone is the audience gave them a standing ovation.

It was sexual we won’t to tell Janet and R Kelly and beyonce to bring down a notch but then they go do this and people act like it was better then watch MJ perfom billie Jean.

Not saying that they aren’t great dancer because they are! One performance does not make you any better then the people who open up door for you to perform that way!

Plus some Kids just got in trouble at school for dancing that way(the school was in ATL) we had a fit asking where is the parents……. and then we see them do it and its OK!

BET awards sucked as expected. I kept wanting someone to save the show, but honestly everyone’s performance was mediocre & lack luster. I was willing to give the newbies a pass, but even then you need to step your game up. I am no longer watching BET anyways. It’s getting to the point where I can’t buy what they’re selling. I DID however love the black summit or whatever they had on tv last night, but it’s a bit hypocritical when the following shows will display the exact thing they discussed.

Quincy Jones? I really can’t get down with this man. He disgusts me in more ways then one, and ONE being as though he’s a “body snatcher”.

@ Nothing But Love

TLC is Second to DC in Sales. TLC is said to have sold like 32 million albums worldwide, DC is between the range of 35-40 Million Albums Worldwide. TLC had success very quickly but that 3D album only sold 2 million worldwide and that is how much DC’s debut album did worldwide! Writing on the Wall did like 13/14 million worldwide and Survivor did 10 Million worldwide. And Destiny Fullfilled did like 8 Million! And their #1’s album did 3 mill! So DC is the highest selling female group. They were even awarded for it!

The awards were pretty good to me. I thought Al Green was very good. I love all of his hits. The Alicia Keys concept was good. It was well planned but poorly executed. The only one act that sounded good was EnVogue. Alicia didn’t sound that great either. I wonder what gimmick she will come up with next to overcompensate for the fact that she is not an entertainer. Last time it was the Jamaican concept. She’s trying though.

Usher (I still love him no matter what) was a little off but I think he’ll bounce back and get it together. I love how people write someone who has always been a great performer off as below a Neyo or Chris Brown. Their performances may have been better last night. But come on Usher knows how to perform, he’s just a little rusty that’s it.

You can question if you like but it shows that TLC went down after Left Eye passed (RIP Left Eye) and they did that 3D album. DC was very consistent. And they had Huge hits also. TLC OWNED the 90’s, NO DOUBT, but DC was having Major International success in this 2000 era.

LOL y’all crackin me up!!!! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that Usher’s performance was TRASH! It was so lame and boring. The song is very lame and boring. He can’t even dance. All those stupid dance moves he was doing had me laughing my ass off!!!

This is the best performance I’ve seen of Rihanna, and that aint saying much! She hit the right notes, but her tone of voice is so damn whiny!!!! Like gurl… shut the F*ck up! She can’t sing at all!

I absolutely loved Alicia Keys perfomance. It was very entertaining and a nice throwback with all the talented female R&B groups from the 90’s!

I don’t care what anyone says. Chris Brown’s performance sucked and Ciara looked like a straight up HO! The spreading of her legs and stank coochie was very distasteful and too much! She’s trying too hard to be like Janet. The only reason why people liked his performance is because Ciara was being nasty and there’s a bunch of people on here who like to see that type of stuff onstage. Damn… Beyonce wouldn’t even do that. By the way… how come she didn’t show up? Probably because she didn’t have a new single out. LOL

This award show was so damn wack!

None of the women in EV are really tall. Dawn and Terry are only 5′-2″, Max is only around 5′-0″ - 5′-1″, and Cindy is like 5′-5″. Just thought I’d clear that up.

Thanx to select performances the show was just AIIIGHT! I think BET HYPED it up way too much for what ut was worth. MY GOD how about the very first performance of the night by USHER. I was highly disappointed! Id rather see a Chris Brown performance as the opening (that was HOT), I could watch him & CIARA show their skills together longer than they did! USHER has opened shows prior to this album waaaay better than that, in the past. I was waiting for something to jump off in the end, but that was just very disturbing coming from USHER. His “CONFESSIONS” album I think will be his BEST album EVER!! I enjoyed T-PAIN (& the whole ring master Circus bit), I enjoyed Alicia Keys (& her doing the whole reunion of the female groups—what yall young bucks knew about that?) THAT WAS HOT! In fact Alicia Keys revived the show with her performance & special guests because I was about to fall asleep before she came out…That show was FLAT LINED. I enjoyed the Quincy Jones Tribute, & the Al Green tribute too (I enjoyed seeing MAXWELL—where did they dig him up from?—LOL That was cool (those 2 cats knew what music was all about—for real). KEYSHIA COLE’s performance was cool (I like the wardrobe change she did that was “cute”) But what did it for me was when LIL KIM came out, maybe because I am from KIM’s home town I dont know but whenever she does live performances on her collaborations I get HYPED UP when she comes out, with her deep voice rapping LOL!! The NELLY performance I actually liked as well.

It was just AAIIIGHT. Last years show was waaaay better hands down. How you going to open up with USHER & that whack assed performance though? That was crazy. And they did experience some technical difficulties, reminded me of when BET was new back in the day…BOOT–LEG!! What was up with that??? They could have done better with this show for all the HYPE they dished out for it!

Anyway, NeYo, Lil Kim, CB & Ciara, Al Green’s Tribute and the Niecy Nash had me rolling with her lil skit. Man, she reads the LOOP cuz she didn’t have that DAMN flower in her head! Go Niecy! Oh, I didn’t see anything after Keyshia’s funny ass performace so I’ll have to catch the remainder of the show on like the 100th time they play it between now and what, September! LOL!

Overall,IMO, this was NOT a good year for the BET awards, past years have been better.

* Alicia Keys KILLED it, thank you for bringing back 90’s R AND B, the three best groups from that entire decade, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!! Although I was thinking to myself Damn I’m old because I know every song word for word!

*Chris Brown KILLED it, and Ciara……….damn, damn, damn, that girl is sexy, and I like men (DON”T get it twisted!) but that was a very hot performance.

* Young Jeezy and Kanye (My future husband) were aiight, but i have heard them both sound better especially Kanye whom i have seen live 3 times, but I still LOVE YOU!!!!!!

*Al Green tribute was nice………Jill Scott is gorgeous love her voice, Maxwell WHERE THE HELL HAVE U BEEN??? I almost fell off my bed when he came on, his voice is like butta so smooth and sexy, pleassssse release another album, it’s been too long.

* Marvin Sapp performance was so touching and made me think about going back to church.

*T-Pain is wack, Rick Ross needs a 34DDD bra, (SERIOUSLY YOUR BREASTS ARE NOT A GOOD LOOK) I LOVE LUDA, still one of the best spitters in hiphop, Flo Rida has the sickest body I have ever seen.

* LIl Weezy , yes it is very impressive that you sold a million copies of your album, so hip hop is NOT DEAD AND WILL NEVER DIE, BUT, why did u sell a milli because u are that good, or there is no one else really saying anything productive? Or are you just overrated? Because your performace was average on so many levels, u were better on the Source Awards.

* The Jabbawockeez saved Ne-yo’s ass, because I was basically falling asleep until they came on. He is just so repetitive…….same fake-ass wannabe MJ/CB/Usher moves, same stupid fedora, it’s getting old dog, and I loved your first album, so you need to switch it up, for real.

* Nelly…who cares? Ashanti was wayyyyyyyy too excited to introduce himm she is hella annoying, too, like slow ur roll girlfriend, it’s not 2000 Nelly is not that hot anymore, (still has a nice body) but that’s it.

* Keyshia Cole was not on her game either for some odd reason…I have seen her live too and she is DOPE so I was quite perturbed about that. Lil Kim WHYYY?

*Usher is slowly losing his grip on well everything,lol. But I guess when you have already peeked there is no where else to go but down.

*Rihanna is overrated BUT she knows what works for HER image and style and she picks good material for her albums; has catchy singles and interesting videos, has WICKED fashion sense and is drop dead gorgeous. Plus she is not the first singer with limited to no vocal ability to be successful. (Madonna hello?) Did I think her performance was good? hell no, BUT i don’t think she is as bad as everyone on here is making her seem.

That’s a wrap for me. and BET needs to find a better host next year.

D.L. Hugley as host…was awful and thats all to be said about that. BET made a bad choice with him. Also, the presenters scripted small talk, especially Gabrielle Union and that tongue-tied Derek Luke, was so ridiculous.

USHER!!! I almost forgot, sadly, to mention that this awards show capitalized on the fact that Usher’s creative growth is at a standstill. This is about more than the fact that his performance looked and felt(detached) like a music video….more than his lip-syncing every word….more than him wearing an over-the-head microphone?….more than the photo-montage that preceeded his entry. This about the fact that nothing has evolved about Usher as he is doing exactly what the newcomers are doing; what he has been doing for years, but he is no longer any better at doing it and we want to see more. Furthermore, “Here I Stand” feels like a relaunched version “Confessions”, only less compelling. First singles are about a night at the club, with two adjacent videos shot on the dancefloor of a club. Ultimately, following his performance, there were alot of blank stares; people wondering if they had just watched a music video anthology-medley of Usher in 3-D. There was so much going on, Usher might have well been mute for our sake. Compare the performances, Ne-Yo made his way into the audience and really connected in the midst of swirling around the stage. There wasn’t one unrehearsed step by Usher that we haven’t already seen 1 million times during his show opener.

Alicia Keys’ ode to the sista-girl groups of yesteryear worked so well….even though Coko did a little too much (in addition to looking a mess) T-Boz and Chili seemed to have lost their voices??? En Vogue showed all the girl groups up. Alicia looked like a modern day Cleopatra with her bonestraight wig. Her vocal performance and energy was excellent and helped to tie for the best performance for the night.

Keyshia Cole sounded like a newly-signed act who was performing live for the first time…nervous. She even was caught completely off guard when the songs switched from Heaven Sent to Let It Go…lol she was so busy dancing (trying) that she missed her cue to start singing and her backgorund vocals kept on without her Lol. The outfits were nice and thank God there was no wardrobe malfunction. Lil’ Kim was out of breath instantly, looked like a Las Vegas drag queen.

Ne-Yo put on a tour-de-force, mixing an interesting blend of Cab Calloway, Michael Jackson (Smooth Criminal) to crank out some of the slickest moves on the stage the entire evening. Definitely one of the high points of the show. His clean, 3-piece, fedora donned look of late seems to be a mainstay for the moment and suits him just fine.

Chris Brown appeared on stage, a la special guest, Ciara, for a sensual take on Chris Breezy’s “Take You Down”. Chris really sang the song on top of the fact that he was actually singing the entire time…he gave an honest LIVE performance especially on “With You”. Hold up…now wouldn’t we have loved to see Chris and his chautese, Rihanna, take stage together in place of Ciara??? The camera caught a few great shots of Ms. Umbrella herself doefully grinning at the Chris’ performance. Anyways the mowhawk and the bowtie was cute, even though both of the trends are nearing the end of being relevant. Lol.. It was a good look though.

The highlight of the night would have to be the ensemble, All-Star tribute to Al Green…opened by Jill Scott, who just happened to be sporting new Mo-Locks (mohawk dreadlocks)and some fierce wedged-stilletos. Anthony Hamilton turned up looking unusally dapper and clean, particularly in the facial area. THE SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT WAS when Maxwell strutted on the stage to wrap up the trio of tributes…with a low cut and 1985 ish transition-lense frames. What a surprise. And the cameo was pleasant…near the end he even pulled out a few steps that were coordinated with the band. But no moment matched the pure energy and unity that swept the audience like that of Al Green’s medley. The entire audience was swaying and crooning, to include a sleeveless Busta Rhymes caught playing an imaginary trombone. This was the performance of the night.

Lil’ Wayne put on a respectable performance, but curiously with T-Pain??? No only did T-Pain already perform earlier that night, he wasn’t featured on any of the songs Weezy performed and he singlehandedly won the award for HOT ASS MESS of the evening, In his second appearance on stage, T chose another ringleaderesque top hat to adorn his all white get up. Back to Wayne, he did the best thing he could have done, he spit…alone (no dancers or hype-man) he showed his collage of tattoos and let his hair down.

Where were Jay-Z & Beyonce???

I really liked this years show

-Chris & Ciara had the best performance of the night HANDS DOWN…IT WAS HOTT!
-Alicia had one the best performances of the night too…I was hyped when I saw SWV
-Marvin Sapp almost made me cry….the was one of the best too
-Al Green tore it up!
-Maxwell….whew…i almost went crazy when he came on stage. Where you been??
-Keyshia was horrible. This is my girl but WTF was that
-Usher was on the same level as Keyshia…it was a mess…his new name is “Thighs N Hips” cause he thats all I could see when he performed. It was a huge disapointment! Just give up Usher…plz…
-Kanye is my dude but arrogance was unnecessary

Overall I loved the BET Awards.I really didn’t care for the host, but most of the performances made up for him. My favorite part of the show was the Maxwell portion of the Al Green tribute. I had to go and listen to his Urban Hang Suite, Embrya and MTV Unplugged cds.I loooove me some Maxwell! I also enjoyed the Alicia Keys, SWV, EnVogue and TLC performance.Chris Brown and Ciara KNOW they did that! Ne-Yo’s performance was really good too.How DL Hugley gonna call Marvin Sapp “Warren”? I was embarassed for him.I really enjoyed the entire show and I haven’t been able to say that in a few years.

@ #20…. i agree 100%

BET Awards have been boring for the last 2 or 3 years. i didnt even watch the show all the way. Overall, i loved Alicia Keys performace with all the REAL female GROUPS!

Rhianna…… *YAWWWWNNN* cant sing, im bored with you!!!

C.Brown…ok, we know you can grind & all, you have 1 video already with you doing that- “Take You Down”. THE KIDS ARE WATCHING YOU & LOOK UP TO YOU. i dont wanna hear anyone else complaining about 13year olds having sex, getting preganant, or grinding & freak dancing on the dance floor NO MORE.

Loved the Jabbawockees at the end of Neyo’s performace!!! Thats when i woke up!

LIL WAYNE & T-PAIN SHUT. IT. DOWN!!!!! The best was the last!! :D

i repeat…

the BET awards were not hot this year. it was definitely the worst year ever. every performance was slow and boring. with the performers that were on the show, it should have been amazing. usher’s dancing was not what was expected, keyshia cole sang like crap, everybody just looked like they were half asleep.
