BET AWARDS ‘09: CELEBRITY PERFORMANCES + SHOW PICS
Monday, June 29, 2009

Host Jamie Foxx pays tribute to Michael Jackson to open the 2009 BET Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday, June 28th in Los Angeles, California.
If you follow Concrete Loop on twitter, then you’ve seen our commentary on this show this year. It has some great moments, but overall is wasn’t up to par.
Check out performance + backstage photos of: Maxwell, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Ciara, Drake, and more. I’m sure youtube has some rips of some of the performances.

The thing is nobody will ever be on MJ level no matter how versatile, unique, or talented they are so everybody should not even try ad stop comparing your favorites to MJ!!!!!!! Even though I feel Alicia Keys is like the kind hearted MJ, but not on his level!!!!!!!!! What people need to understand though is that MJ didn’t only focus on being the best he actually cares more about the world probably then being on top!!!! I FEEL THAT IS THE SAME WAY with Alicia Keys!!!!!

Where to begin,
Keri hilson performance was terrible..she was not conditioned because she sounded out of breath and i don’t know what she was thinking dancing..
Beyonce– WHY THE HELL WAS SHE SINGING THAT SAVE-A-DOG FOUNDATION SONG? Once again, shes taking credit for other people songs…when will she learn? she was boring, i thought she was gonna sing single ladies, halo or something better. why is she singing a prayer song, knowing that the jackson are jehovah witnesses? Do the research before you start to sing.
Jay z aka CAMEL JOE- that song is wack.Performance wack.
Ne-Yo- *standing ovation* by far had one of his best performance of the night by singing “LADY OF MY LIFE” it was emotional and sincere. Michael would of been proud.
Jamie Foxx- what to say…the WANDA and SHANEA NAH clip was funny.
Letoya luckett– should of took beyonce spot cuz she sang better than her.
CIARA- AWFUL, she sounded like a little kid. no way she should of sang that song.
Keyshia “hoodrat” cole and monica- Monica stole the show from keyshia
Drake- All the bleeping was annoying.What up with the little kids on stage? promoting underage sex?
Soulja Hoe- was wack. can’t believe bet let him perform.unclassy.tasteless. Should’ve let Kanye perform “heartless” or flashing lights.
New Edition- Sounded terrible (most specifically, Ralph Trevestant) but their dancing was on point.
Bell Biv Devoe- performance was solid
I was hoping to see 112 perform or Dru Hill
I hated that you couldn’t see who got nominated for the awards that just flashed them on the titantron.
Janet Jackson- I hated to see her up there like that, sad. Emotional.
I wanted Mariah Carey to sing Ill be there.
Mary Mary- Sounded solid…Nice to see Queen Latifah rapping.
Why wasn’t Brandy nominated for an award for best female artist? BET shows BRANDY NO LOVE WHAT SO EVER.SMDH
They should of had the wayans brother host the show.
LeBron james shouldn’t have won shit, his team choked in the playoffs
Pre-Show- Terrance and Rosci are by far the most, annoyin tv host ive ever seen. Day 26 looked gay with their dance sequence. Didn’t know who were those two dudes rapping with those tight crotch hugger blue jeans.
Overall, bet awards was a g-h-e-t-t-o mess. MJ tribute was terrible (minus ne-yos performance) Old school artist sounded bad (minus BBD)
Jay z had no right to “try” to be a tyrant and tell them that chris brown can’t be there…and what was the whole Letoya luckett/knowles family fued about? dammit, is solange the only sane one in the family?
*Anyone ever notice that mama knowles never goes anywhere with solange?*
WHY ARE TINY AND TOYA FAMOUS ANYWAY?
Bet shouldve scheduled the awards show on a seperate day other than TRYING TO DO THIS AT THE LAST MINUTE! If i was the jackons i wouldve been left the award show. i wouldve put BET on blast on national TV about all that coonery

You guys are disrespectful MJ had passed this should be about him, but somehow I feel like it’s all about Beyonce people are sitting on here arguing back and forth about her and it’s ridiculous and I feel all the fans care about and respect is Beyonce I really do I thought everybody was ok, but to me Ne-yo was the best he represented MJ so well and did a decent tribute to him yes he should record “Lady In My Life” “PYT” and some other songs of MJ he kind of reminds me of him i also want to congratulate A.Keys she is so well deserved and has a kind side to her you don’t see that anymore!!!! And MJ I love you and so does everybody else you are the ONE AND ONLY MJ no one can compare to you then or now!!!! What you did is far beyond what everybody else is doing these artist today will never have what you had and they can’t touch you!!!!!! They say these artist are on another level ,but you are wayyyyyyy far better than any level you make the word level look goood I love you KING OF POP!!!!

And i dont think the outfit was appropriate…

@ Barbie
You are trying to appear intelligent but instead you have actually once again proven how much of an idiot you are. For one thing every person that comes on concreteloop is not black. It’s the WORLD WIDE WEB which means people of ALL races can access this site. For another thing, there are people here that are VERY familiar with the song Beyonce chose. We still feel the performance was not appropriate for the tribute. The song is fine but there is a way to present a religious song and Beyonce failed at her attempt. It would be like someone getting on stage singing Yes Jesus Loves Me in a tube top and thong. Some things are just not appropriate. If you are too blinded by your idolatry of Beyonce to comprehend that then you are the dumb one.
P.S. People on the predominantly “WHITE blogs” are saying the same thing about Beyonce’s performance if that makes you feel any better.

Some ppl enjoy entertainers like Alicia Keys WHO HAS THE WHOLE PACKAGE. Only a young, superficial person would say bey has the whole package. Did you notice a difference in the way bey spoke and the way Alicia spoke? What instruments does bey play? Oh I forgot, the pussyano. BTW Alicia Keys plays CLASSICAL PIANO.

That tomfoolery was a waste of about 3 hours and 25, cause I’m gonna give ‘em 20 minutes of good television. To me, it would have been more respectful to just show a montage of MJ footage as tribute with the Ne-Yo performance during the awards and then have a separate show as a tribute later, when you could get more worthy artists to perform. New Edition was horrible and Bobby Brown, in particular, was so inappropriate with all that gyrating and tongue wagging!
I did enjoy Maxwell, The O’Jays (and the tribute part of their segment w/ Tyrese, Trey Songz, and Johnny Gill). The Martin & Jamie Foxx “movie” trailer was funny. Janet Jackson made me emotional. Other than that the show was WHACK! Jamie Foxx was self promoting and kind of annoying (especially with so many performances– when he’s not that great a singer!). Jay-Z was okay, but they made way too big a deal about him being about to perfom. They need to re-vamp the show (better award categories and nominees and better performances).
BET needs to step out of their teeny bopper box. The same folks perfom every year. Why couldn’t we get Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michelle, Musiq Soulchild or something on the show. I’m sick of seeing Lil Wayne’s a$$, both literally and figuratively!
To call that show a tribute to the greatest entertainer of my lifetime was horrendous! Hope someone else does a better one soon!

********************************************************************************************
that was THE WORST AND DUMBEST COMPARISON EVER!! c’mon ”pussyano”…you gotta come harder..and SMARTER than that
alicia who? i don’t even like Beyonce, but not in this lifetime can she be compared to Alicia..don’t get me wrong, Alicia’s good, just not as good as B
and they won totally different awards, how would they have spoken the same way?!GTFOH
yaw can say whatever you like but that girl (B) sang her heart out…i really don’t care about what she wore, but the song was very suitable..look the lyrics up
only the ignorant ones come on here and make such silly comments
i thought i should defend the girl for a change because the truth is yaw just have to say negative things about whatever she does.
e.g: there were how many other performances, YET, the foolish ones focused their attention solely on the girl
incase yaw didn’t notice…Lil Wayne and the other one (couldn’t care less what he’s name is) PERFORMED A SONG ABOUT F*CKING EVERY GIRL, and yaw sit here complaining about one of the best perfomances of the night..
to her stans, yes she was good, but damn, calm the heck down, it ain’t that serious..
as for keri and cici, everything’s been said already
Ne-yo, that boy did his thang! made me very proud. Mos def the best performance
Monica> girl! you wrong for what you did to my girl KC, overshadowed her like it was nothing..gotta admit though, girl can sing too…loved their performance
overall, the show was ok, could have been much better, but it don’t matter

I agree with #21 totally:
The BET Awards was an incredible disappointment. I feel as if I had hours of my life robbed from me in the hopes that SOMEBODY, ANYBODY qould do MJ right.. I personally feel that Jamie Foxx’s used this as a platform to plug his upcoming tour and that was totally the wrong place or the time for all that. It seemed even at one point that he didnt even know that thee cameras were on and that this was live.
The opening # was disasterous, which should have been a premonition of things to come.
Ciara, though her voice was weak, had a Decent (at best) performance.
Beyonce looked like a damn fool! Though her voice was beautiful, I found myself going to sleep during her routine.
Soulja Boy,..what more needs said. Maybe due to my age I cant comment, but I just dont understand why we even consider this kid hip hop.
Keri Hilson’s performance was so stupid. I was confused if she was paying tribute to MJ or Elvis….maybe it was me.
Jay-Z’s performance highlight…that my boi finally got a haircut.
Drake and Wayne, I honestly just feel it wasnt the performance for this type of show…maybe because it was a TRIBUTE show….who knows. Did Drake have candy or something in his pocket….that must be why those lil kids were all over the boi.
Alicia looked beautiful. I hope she never comes to my neck of the woods cause I might have to kidnap her fine @ss.
Janet was touching.
The O’Jays, shut it down. They were the only ones that came with it….and I aint even from that era. Eddie killed me with that “dancin and sh@t” line. LMAO!!!
Don Cornelius, I fully understand why he doesnt make public appearances casue he seemed lost as hell. I was begging for the Sandman to come brush him off the stage.
That baby boy skit was funny until Ving Rhames came on stage. I really think he may have thought this was an american gangster episode.
Tyrese/Trey Songz did they thing.
But all in all I think we all know that Chris should’ve performed. Plain and simple. I’m sure MTV will have him at their awards. Honestly the catch phrase to the 09 MtV awards should be….if you’re gonna do it…do it right, cause I think their gonna come with it.

@ Barbie (?) I agree Beyonce is the better singer, but Keri”’s performance was far more entertaining. Monica can singer better than both of them to me, but her performance didn’t move me that much either. Beyonce is a very good singer (great tone), but she’s nothing great to me. She’s no J.Hud or Christina Aguilera that’s for sure.

I was so dissapointed in Bey’s Performance. It was not a tribute to Michael. It was simply another opportunity to be seen in a body suit. The short of it: She made it about her. If it is true that Jay-Z gave BET Awards Producers the ultimatum of he and his wife or Chris Brown, I would have rather seen Chris at this point.

#239…I didn’t read your entire post. I stopped when you said something stupid like they received different awards so they would speak differently. …..Silence…..i’m taking a deep breath……WHATEVER AWARD YOU ACCEPT YOU SHOULD SPEAK LIKE YOU ARE COMPETENT. I can see you are right brained. And many ppl including myself spoke on Lil Wayne, CiCi, Keyshia, Neyo but YOU only see Bey. Look at how long your post is defending someone you don’t even know. It shows you are obsessed and goofy as hell.

To y’all who say Joe Jackson was there for Michael….HELL NAW! that is a heartless, cruel man and I’ll be damned if yall actually believe for one minute that he was there for Michael. He ain’t give a damn about Michael!!!! Joe up there promoting his blu-ray ish when the reporters asked about Michael…smiling and high-fiving people when the cameras were on him in the show!
Janet gets all the love from me, but it’s sad kuz she probably had to go up there to diffuse the crap Joe said.

Seeing all of these comments about how stupid and irrelevant Beyonce’s performance was shows how alot of African Americans aren’t exposed to different cultures and music. Just as something that is done outside of the “norm”, it is deemed boring or a horrible performance.
It’s ridiculous how she has more comments than Michael Jackson and his legacy.
BTW, BET isnt the only music channel that depicts minorities in a horrible light. MTV and VH1 does the same thing. Flavor of Love? Gotti’s Way? Making the Band? All of these shows gives a horrible depiction of how black people act. I would even say these channels are worse for the black community than BET because these channels have a steady flow of naive, young viewers, particularly white ones, who actually believe that all black people act the way as the do in these “reality” tv shows. Even if BET changed it’s whole format to a more positive way, these other channels will still be an issue.

I GUESS IT WAS ALRIGHT BEING THAT THEY CHANGED UP THE ENTIRE SHOW FOR MJ, BUT LETTING THE CURSES SLIP WAS THEIR OWN FAULT…REGARDLESS OF THE SHOW CHANGING THAT JOB SHOULD’VE BEEN DONE
AND I FELT IT COULD’VE BEEN REHEARSED A LITTLE MORE, AT POINT THERE WERE AWKWARD SILENCES, BUT I GIVE IT TO THEM FOR PULLING IT OFF
I LOVED THE TREY SONGZ, JOHNNY GIL & TYRESE TRIO…MAINLY LOVED TYRESE & TREYS PERFORMANCE!
CIARA SUNG SURPRISINGLY WELL. I WAS SHOCKED
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY BEYONCE SANG THOSE SONGS, HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL..SHE SHOULD’VE DONE AN MJ SONG AND NOT HAVE WORN THAT HIDEOUS GETUP (ALWAYS ATTRACTING UNNEEDED ATTENTION)
SO HAPPY DRAKE GOT TO PERFORMED BUT MAD HE WAS CONFINED TO THAT CHAIR LOL
NEYO DID GREAT!!! BUT LOOKED WIERD…HIS GIRL IS CUTE TOO..SHE BETTER NOT HURT HIM!!
LOVE YOU MJ, YOU ARE AND WILL FOREVER BE THE KING!! IT’S SO SAD TO SEE YOU GO

1st of all I am in no way a Michael Jackson fan!!! I’m sad he died but even if he was alive I still wouldn’t have anything 2 do wit him so I was mad dey tributed da whole show 2 him! Dey cudda had a special moment in the show 2 tribute 2 him but not the whole show!
Jamie Foxx - Hated him as a host but he killed every song he sang wit Ne-Yo and “Sheneneh and Wanda” would totally be a gr8 movie!!
Beyonce - For what the performance was she sounded amazing but I’m use 2 see’n Sasha on stage at the BET Awards which is why I’m mad at the tribute cuz guaranteed if Michael didn’t die she wudda did Ego or Single Ladies!!!
Keyshia Cole and Monica - Monica outdid Keyshia point blank!!!!
Keri Hilson - Horrible performer cuz she cant sing when she dances so she sounded horrible!
Drake - Did good by himself on “Best I Ever Had” but it was very wrong to have those lil girls on stage during “Every Girl”
KeKe Palmer - Always could sing, I bought her 2007 album “So Uncool”
Ciara - I loooooove her but not a very good performance. She shudda danced for Michael but surprisingly her vocals were stronger den I expected! LOL!
Ne-Yo - Amazing amazing amazing on every song!
New Edition - All been smoking for years!!!
Guy - Still got da dance’n but voice is gone!!
Keith Sweat - Sang to low!
Bell Biv Devoe - Still lyke dat song!!!!
Johnny Gill, Tyrese, and Trey Songz - All killed it!!!!!
Mary Mary - good performance not da best!
If I can’t think of any more performances but I was totally disappointed with the BET Awards this year and it feels good 2 see dat other ppl agree!!!!!!

LOL, some of your coments are funny as all hell………lmao.
I understand that BET only had three days to re-arrange their entire format because of MJ’s untimely death…….BUT why rush a half-asss tribute? when they could have continued with the lame ass show they were planning and wait a few months until they can gather all the right artists and do a proper tribute and do like a 3 hr special?
THAT BET is what you should have done!
In my opinion that would have been more appropriate then what they actually did, especially since we are talking about THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TME, who brought so much joy and good music to his billions of fans worldwide, endless classic videos, influenced every single solo artist to come out after 1982, and CHANGED PEOPLES LIVES! YOU DID NOT PAY HIM ANY RESPECTS WHEN HE WAS ALIIVE AND GIVE HIM A TRIBUTE DURING THE LAST EIGHT YEARS YOU HAVE BROADCASTED THE SHOW SO WHY DO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT OF COMPLETE EXCELLENCE?
HOWEVER, I did not think the show was great, but it did not suck completely.
Ne-yo was excellent and I am not that much of a fan, he has a few good songs, and i loved his 1st album, Lady In My Life was beautifully done, he should record that on his next album.
Ciara, I do like you, BUT WHY THE HELL WERE YOU SINGING?!?! your strength is DANCING mama, it’s what you are good at so do it!!!! Whomever is in her camp that told her to do Heal The World needs to be fired ASAP!!!!! She is one of he best dancers in the industry and she sings a half ass rendition? What the EFF?
Beyonce………sometimes there are just no words. I was just confused, why was she signing ava maria? Now SHE should have sang Heal The World instead of Ciara, because she has the vocal chops for that song, OR Mary J, or Jennifer Hudson, Jazzmine Sullivan, Alicia Keys………..someone else, damn. I was looking forward to B’s performance and felt so let down, she could have sang Halo or an MJ song there are PLENTY of songs in his catalogue…….My theory is she PURPOSELY did that so that we bloggers could all disect it bit by bit and TALK about her more although we talk about her every damn day anyways, shame on u B.
Side bar: did u all catch when she won, and she starts to walk away from jay and her grabbed her arm and kissed her cheek, I just thought that part was cute, a little PDA will not kill u!
JAYZ I do love him, I love the song, can’t wait for the album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Monica and Keyshia Cole………..How do u get out sung on your own song? Lol. Monica killed it. She is very underrated, what the hell happened to her album? she needed to release one yesterday.
Souljaboy………..if you cannot formulate words and sentences WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ON STAGE?!?! go home sit your dumb teenaged assed down and READ A BOOK! -SERIOUSLY, who gave souljaboy a record deal?
Lil Wayne/Drake/Young Money/BirdMan ( and those young girls)…..I am probably one of the few people who thinks Lil Wayne is very overrated, but this performace was inappropriate. My homeboy Drake is the Truth……and believe me HE WILL BE THE NEXT HIP HOP STAR……but his collabo/performance WITH WAYNE was not the best way to showcase that, a performance with Jay, or Kanye would have been sooo dope!!!!! (esp that 6000 bars song he did with ye’s beat on the intro of 808’s sooooooo cold). Don’t even get me started…….and CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me WHY Drake has 3 mixtapes and no deal and some fool let souljaboy get one? it is mind boggling and sad.
Keri Hilson…..It wasn’t the best, even my mons was complaining this girl CANNOT SING….LOL. But it was her first live performance and I have seen wayyyyyyy worse (note to Cassie, yes I am talking about you) I’m also glad she won new artist, I think she deserves it.
New Edition/Guy/Keith Sweat/BBD……..WHOA, these groups take me wayyyyy back, I’m not going to reveal my age but damn, i felt old. Bobby Brown should never I REPEAT NEVER see daylight who let his tired drunk/high ass outside?
Keith Sweat why?
I was a huge BBD fan so that was nice. Where IN THE HELL WAS JODECI? how do u do a tribute to 90’s RanB and leave out JODECI? c’mon BET step it up. I was glad to see Guy although Aaron was REACHING…..lol. I was esp glad when they performed “I like” especially after T-Pain absolutely mutilated that song at The VH1 Honors in 08……..which leads me to………
Jamie Foxx/T-Pain…….I can’t stand T-Pain and his BIGASSCHAIN which I hope someone snatches….note to Young Berg get back ur chain bwoy!
I don’t think Jamie was a bad host i admit some of his jokes were not great but he had his funny moments…….the Martin/Shenneh skit was funny as hell i almost peed my pants. But there were times when I felt like I was watching The Jamie Foxx/Neyo show why did they perform 3 songs? and why was he always plugging his shit, we know you have an album damn. WE GET IT YOU SING, NOW SHUT UP ALREADY!
MIA……(Missing in Action)
Mariah Carey….lol, I know she wasn’t there, but she should have been the one singing “I’ll Be There” because she covered it back in 92, it would have been nice to hear her do it again.
Stevie Wonder…….would have been nice to see him too.
Kanye…..he was there looking all screw faced with that bi-sexual B*&%$#,Amber whatshername, but I would have loved if he had peformed Walking on the Moon with Dream or a duet with Drake or oh my bad IT IS Kanye, just something would have been nice to watch.
Whitney Houston……..where was she? Smokey, Quincy could have spoke about Michael, Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake, Usher, and yes Chris Brown, I know he is not the most respected, but I really wanted to see some dancing damn it!
The Baby Boy Skit…..WTF? absolutely pointless and in poor taste.
The O’Jays Tribute……funny as all hell, who told Don Cornelius to speak? Both He and Tiny need interpreters.lol. Johnny Gill, Tyrese and Trey Songz were good, Tevin Campbell? whoa.
Maxwell…….please father my child. Sooooooooooooooooooo sexy, in a quiet laid back way. Pretty Wings is an amazing song.
Mary Mary……it was good, but Latifah saved that performance. Is it just me or are both sisters looking more chubby?
Wyclef and Alicia……both well deserved recipients. They are examples of two very classy, humble and inspirational artists.
I can’t think of anything else to say………
Janet made me bawl. I would not know how to stand up properly let alone speak if l lost one of my brothers. Her strength speaks volumes. I Idolized Micheal and Janet growing up, to see her like that was sooo soo sad. May god bless the Jackson family. Joe Jackson….well I will keep those comments to myself he DID just lose his son.
But overall, BET not good but not great: better luck next year if i decide to watch.

I didn’t see the awards show into tuesday night, but I think it was okay for the last minute changes for tribute to MJ….I love Bey and I’m a 1 of her Fans but I wanted her to do an upbeat performance, but that was her tribute to MIKE so I figured do you Bey!! It was her own thing at the moment so it’s okay!! Every1 did okay to me also!!

I’m telling you CL should ban some of you people you know it’s a problem when it susposed to be about Michael and yaw are too busy worried about Beyonce I like her too, but I think it’s ridiculous how these stans and haters go back and forth wanting to have the last word grow up and show respect and stans if some people didn’t like her performance doesn’t mean they are haters o.k. anyways MJ you got so many people who support you and love you your LEGACY WILL FOREVER LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST, GENIUS, AND VISION OF ALL TIME WE LOVE YOU!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO MISS ALICA KEYS THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVING OTHERS AND CARING FOR THEM!!!!

@ 251, you seriously need to calm the f*ck down…
if Alicia won a humanitarian award, OBVIOUSLY she would thank more people and go deeper with her speech
B on the other hand won awards like Video of the year, blah…so she didnt need to talk that much. the usual, ‘thank my fans’ and sh*t speech was good enough, and she sounded just fine..don’t get why yaw are making so much noise
if your dumbass brain read the whole thing, you’ll have noticed i said i didn’t care for the chick but it’s cause of people like you who always gotta hate, i decided to say something
i commented on the others aswell, so QUIT acting like im one of her delusional fans who turn everything into a Beyonce post….
R.I.P MJ!

I can’t take it anymore. Ave Maria is not in Spanish!! It’s Latin!!! It’s a hail mary in Latin folks. There have been like 4 comments about her singing in Spanish. I can see what she was trying to do but Michael was not Catholic so she missed the mark. It was kinda wierd…I love her that’s my girl but I don’t care for the song on the cd and it was a strange choice for the award show.

i LOVED the way Bey performed Ave Maria!!! aaaaaa she is sooooo gorgeous and she did an amazing job! You could see it in her eyes that she was still really sad by MJ passing away.. I am sure MJ would have loved it as well!!!
LOVE U B <3<3

Regarding Bey’s super boring performance, it was in Latin not Spanish. Get an education people.
