GET ‘EM BEE!
nd congrats on your award….got them haters MAD….as always
letoya looks awesome. the awards sucked.
my bad…AWARDS…not award
Is it true jay-z kept Chris Brown from performing?
jazmine sullivan was robbed AGAIN. how the hell did keri win?
By the way everyone look nice, but those awards could have been better in so many ways
lol to me the awards was good they funniest pt was the Wanda and Sheneneh movie Skank Roobbers I hope dats a real movie lol
R.I.P. Mike
lol to me the awards was good they funniest pt was the Wanda and Sheneneh movie
I think for 3 days of work this is the BEST BET has eveer been in YEARS!. Mike we miss you much.
BEY was the only dissappointment!
Jamie was a riot! Love the new movie clip!!!
LeToya had more costume changes than the A-Listers. Everyone looks nice. @#4 yes. Jay-Z & Beyonce said if CB performed they wouldn’t. Remember Rhianna is like their lil sis. This was the funniest BET awards ever and most of it was not intentional.
cassie is sooo fierce! her swag is out of control!
Letoya and AKeys are best red carpet fits!
Trey Songz gets best male – he looks so dayum good!
OOOOH Yeah did yall see Tevin Campbell!
All my fellow CL readers born on or before 1983 can appreciate Tevin!
Skank Robbers was funny!
But Eddie Levert cursing was a riot!
Don Cornelius needs some Crunk Juice! Like 6 days ago!
everyone looked pretty fab, but I’m not a fan of Beyonce’s dress.
I normally don’t watch these awards shows. I said I was this time because of the tribute to MJ. I didn’t watch the whole show but from what I saw, no one was good. New Edition danced good but the singing was bad. Beyonce…..I just can’t get with that whole wedding dress thing. Her shoes she wore on the red carpet were killing though. Neyo and Ciara just did not sing well. I didn’t think it was a good show.
@ Disturbia:
Tevin look so much better since her got his job on broadway!
The Ojays Tribute
Maxwell
Blame It ft Travis Barker (I blinked 182 times just to be sure!)
The 90′s – Sweat, Guy and BBD – best performances for me all night
This had to be the worst BET Award Show EVER. I was completely disappointed. Not what I expected at all. A few good performances, but overall the show was garbage. I’m done with BET.
Bey looked amazing in that outfit..tyra banks did..letoya looked amazing
lil mama aka bow wow up in em….i dont even have words anymore its such comedy every time you show up
since this post is just about arrivals and what they were wearing ima keep it cute but i am bout to burn BET in another post that was the most embarrassing “tribute” i have ever seen in my life..it was a total embarrassment to mike and what he stood for…
Jamie Foxx was HILARIOUS!!!! But I think him and Ne-Yo performed a lil too much
Thumbs up to BET, they did a great job transforming the whole show in only 3days
I was a lil disappointed in my girl Bey, I thought she was gonna rip the stage! But instead she gave a very nice ballad
And didn’t Amerie and Amber Rose wear the same dress??!! (Who Rock’d It Better?)
UM look @t the picture of debra lee and beyonce
Tell beyonce doesnt not have a baby bump!
me thinks CONGRATS is in order
Dear Concreteloop.com,
CONCRETELOOP STAFF THIS COMMENT IS SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU.
I read your “commentary” on the BET awards show via Twitter, and it was is almost 100% negative, and downright rude. In fact, it wasn’t commentary at all. It was hate. I know the show COULD have been better, but damn, with all things considered don’t you think everyone did a lot in 3 days after hearing the news about Michael Jackson’s death? Of course it wasn’t perfect, but my goodness, you would think that you all had some personal vendetta against the show (and network) from the very beginning. You sat there, typing away and picking apart every small detail that you saw wrong with the show and even at one point called it a failure, among other things. The show was not as good as it could have been but you have to take into account the amount of work it took to change the entire production at the LAST MINUTE.
One of you even audaciously wrote that the show was “coonery” and then in another sentence claimed that BET was perpetuating stereotypical attitudes of African Americans. WOW. And by using such derogatory language, what the hell are you doing? You don’t even have to like BET, but it’s sort of sad how you, and many other African Americans drag each other down during a time where everyone should have been celebrating. The show was supposed to be a fun, and commemorative but from reading your “commentary” it was as if BET had a sole responsibility to cater to your own preferences. WOW. All I’m saying is that while it is fine to dislike this year’s show, you all went about it in such a mean spirited way. Michael Jackson died. For a tribute planned in 3 days, I feel that at the very least, it was a great effort. If you don’t like the show, then fine but don’t go on about how it is “coonery” and “trash” because someone like me reading it, if I was white I would be calling you the same names for even writing that. It’s not the station that makes people look a certain way (on an awards show) it’s the behavior of the PEOPLE. So what you must have been really saying is that you think so and so is a “coon”. Ok, got it.
I loved Concreteloop. I’ve been a huge supporter of your site for ages. However, at the same time, I can’t support the blatant, and unnecessary negativity, so I had to come on and speak my mind. How about we all remember what the show was really supposed to be about: HONORING MICHAEL JACKSON. Mission accomplished. That was definitely not a “FAIL.” I’m really disappointed right now. I thought the CONCRETELOOP STAFF was amazing until yesterday. Are you all mad because you didn’t get to go to the show or what? Damn.
Signed,
Concerned Observer
* tell ME beyonce doesnt have a baby bump
Alicia Keys looked beautiful–loved the hair.
Didn’t care for Beyonce’s dress..or perfomance.
Taraji looked cute, loved her one shoulder dress.
I can’t believed Melody Thorton wore that dress with her butt half out in the back..i mean really?
Letoya L. looked beautiful.
Overall, for the show to be revamped at the last minute, i was entertained, but i just wish there would of been some upbeat dance tributes for Michael. Like dance to some PYT, Workin’ Day & Night,…something! I was a little dissapointed, but i know Usher couldn’t make it in time from overseas & what happened to Chris Brown?
melody….why?
that is THE worst ‘outfit’ i’ve ever seen
@ 5…im with you on that one…keri’s good, but jazmine deserved it more….
and thank Goodness CB didn’t perform…
LOL….at all those children who signed that petition….welldone Bey and Jay for putting him in his place
@ 19…i thought so aswell, is she pregnant? FINALLY!! (if it’s true)
oh yeah, let’s avoid criticising….considering they had only 3 DAYS to put everything together…..it was quite a good show actually….
Everyone over at BET should be fired. That show was the worst!
What the hell is Beyonce wearing? She looks a mess!
I love my beautiful black people but Debra Lee should be fired.
I am sorry this red carpet and everything else was just wrong. Black star Power.
Please, this is the worst. I am sorry where was Rihanna she needed to come a kill it.
Beyonce – Looks great as usual…Sounded awsome!!!! Hi Haters
Taraji – Loved the dress hate the hair… She is too funny,
A. Keys – Flawless
Latoya – Looked nice but sounded horrible
LaLa – Cute
Monica – Sounded good but her shoes are ugly and she needs a butt implant
Toya – Looks Ok
CiCi and K. Hilson – Just aight looking – CiCi sounded aight but Keri WTF was that going on at the end of her performance.
Tiny – Is a Burnt Hot off the Grill MESS… She looks a mess and sounds a mess… Give Ms Piggy her face back please… uhhh
Ray J – Looked Nice
Hosea – Is fine
Tyra – Now I love me some Tyra but last night she looked a mess.
BET Awards were good to me, taking into account they had to change everything around… They cant fix bad singing celebs so overall its was entertaining.
@21 – She doesnt… Saw her front row seats last week and her tummy is flat
DAMN THE AWARDS WAS BORING JAMIE FOXX SUCKED AS A HOST THANG GOD THE YANKEES PLAYED LAST NIGHT
Best performance goes to BBD, Keith Sweat, And Guy. Not a boring moment.
Neyo sung that MJ song ..he sound great
Ciara did ok didnt know she could sing …
Beyonce’s performance by far was the worst…She could have taken that shit to the Oscar Awards being that she will never win one…next
Alicia Keys and Keri Hilson was my fav pick for outfits..everyone looked so good.
Lil Wayne, Drake and Birdman, could have done that crap at the source awards
And for most..Jaime Fox sucks as a host but did pretty good on his performance
Oh yeah ..The O’jays Killed it…well thats my thoughts on the show…
The awards was a mess to me. The original line up pre mj might have went smooth but there was alot of mess ups and performances that left you like “wtf” ie Keri hillson, soulja boy told them nothing, that crap that they call drake/lil wayne/ cash money, plus 13 year old girls and Tiny……. my god why did she get up to get that award. T.I is in jail ashamed.
An please forgive me for no longer being a JayZ fan but people can eat him up if he just say one word. He sucks. And so did his wife, she looked crazy throughout her performance.
The MJ moments were nice, but they used the hell out of neyo and jamie.
Where was Chris?
And why is Kanye there without a purpose? like so many others,
The best part of the whole show was the O’Jay tribute LAWD I forgot that Tyrese can sing like that. and also when Janet came out.
Everything else just seem rushed, ghetto and unorganized.
I am just waiting for a nice tribute becaue BET failed.
I don’t care if they only had an hour to put the show together. All of the vulgar language, off color jokes, shucking & jiving…They could’ve done w/o. Jamie Foxx’s dialogue wasn’t funny at all. It was just a bunch of shameful, ignorant & despicable behavior that had nothing to do with the show being put together last minute. My people really disappoint me sometimes.
LeToya was the best dressed!
The end of Keri Hilson’s performance prompted me to change the channel. And Tiny needs to leave the face alone before she ends up looking like Lil Kim. Ne-Yo made me cry and the end of Jaime’s set made me smile again.
Like Monica and Latoya look the best
Who is Jayz to tell someone they could’nt pay homage, as far as I’m concerned him and his girl could have stayed home, hell they call their performances paying homage. Complete garbage if you ask me.
last night show was a total embarrasment to the black community
good..
beyonce performance..it was tasteful and she sang everyone under a table in there..
keri hilson..nice..maxwell..nice…neyo’s very nice
BAD..
ciara..nice effort but that girl cannot sing..drake and weezy..why would u sing a song that had bleeps throughout the whole thing and have lil girls runnin round on stage while your singin songs talkin bout you wish u could ___ every girl in the world?
jamie fox talkin bout his boa constrictor and get a close up of my junk
there were pants sagging left and right i mean come on?!!
i am officially done with BET but im glad they didnt let CB perform..
yea they had to throw a show together in 3 days but the stuff i pointed out was just ignorance..it had nothing to do with the planning of the show..it was just not in good taste and a total embarrasement to the black community for a tribute.
honestly the best part of the show was jamie and neyos duet at the end
Everyone looks nice except for lil mama and T.error . Their stylist must have gotten the wrong memo. the soul train and source awards no longer exist. i thought these celebs would come a lil more tasteful to pay tribute to such an icon. and the show ridiculous. coonery at its best, i was so not pleased, i was insulted, this is how we pay tribute to the greatest icon that ever walked this earth. my sons 8th grade class could put on a better production. how many days it takes to prepare doesnt matter, if you have talent it will show whether its 1 day of preparation on 3days We should petition to take BET of the Air for all their coonery shows. smh
Yo, Drake performance was trash! The dude ain’t even get off the stool. He looked like he was limping tho…idk
But everybody look nice tho
what was up with all these clunky shoes the ladies had on. Beyonce looked a hot mess in that dress she arrived in. She looked thrown together.
I’ve been looking forward to CLs take on the awards, definitely the best fashion coverage I’ve seen so I see why it took some time.
Alicia, Beyonce, Ciara, and Jazmine looked great.
@ # 33 LADYTROUBLESOME
YOU ARE SO RIGHT! I CHANGED THE CHANNEL AFTER THE FIRST 15 MINUTES. IT WAS UNORGANIZED AND JAMIE WAS NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
very disappointed in Usher, Mariah, Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake. Here’s why Usher should have “moved mountains” to come celebrate his “idol”. IF it was not for Mike he would not have the Mansions and Fame. Mariah Carey, HORRIBLE she redid Mike’s “i’ll be there”, but her lazy non-singing butt, she wanted to go shoot a video instead, did she forget she had a number 1 with “i’ll be there”. Justin Timberlake would be somewhere flipping turkey burgers if not for MIKE.
Chris Brown, that’s who we REALLY wanted to give a performance, no mattery if homeboy made a mistake, chris brown deserves to be forgiven.
BET’s Worst performance show.
Neyo was Incredible.
MY FAV
TREY SONGZ
BEYONCE
T ALI
LETOYA N ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL HER FITS ;O;
WHERE IS KEYSHIA ???????????
O YEA TRINA LOOKS GOOD 2
I give it to BET for putting the show together in just three days but they could have kept it, they should have cut a lot of that stuff out and saved 44mins.I loved the tributes to Michael but the hype behind what was supposed to happened only let me down when I saw it.But Jamie Foxx had me cracking up.
Why would someone write that long speech about another person’s OPINION? I will not believe that a person who does not work for BET or did not work on the production of the BET Awards would take the time to write that.
GO BEY!!! CONGRATZ ON YOUR AWARD!! She looks Great like always! Trya look great like always!! Everbody looks gud!! I love my people!! No hate at all!! No comment on lil’ mama tho!!
beyonce looked a mees and performance was very boring she was not needed at all
I like the show and thought it was very entertaining especially to do it in such short notice.
@shae
girl i totally agree with you. mimi usher jt and cb dropped the ball
janet was hottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
OH AND I NEVER WATCH BET ANYWAY…I WAS REALLY TRYING TO GIVE THAT CHANNEL ANOTHER SHOT WITH THE AWARDS BUT IT’S SO FOR LITTLE KIDS NOW. BET SUCKS…PERIOD.
I thought most of the women dressed at the event was terrible; being the worst were Keri Hilson and Beyonce. Big disappoints.
A lot of the celebrities were representing. I especially thought Latoya Luckett, Alicia Keys, and Wendy Raquel looked nice.
And BET don’t give Toccora the mic no more. Too ghetto and totally unprofessional, doesn’t know how to conduct an interview at all.
And this was the worse BET awards show I have ever seen. Even the performers who were previously slated to sing (before MJ’s death) did a horrible job. Hopefully there will be a dedication that truly entails his music to the world. BET should have just showed photos throughout his career at the beginning of the show and let the audience now a tribute was in the works later on BET. What they did, to me, was an embarrasment to the fans, the family, Michael Jackson, and BET.
This whole show was a disappointment. I mean there were funny parts but I hated Jaime Foxx…he wasn’t funny at all. The only funny part was Sheneneh and Wanda. This show was unorganized.
1)They had people presenting two awards
2)Homegirl from Startreck was in the bathroom.
3)Jaime Foxx didn’t know if he was on or not.
Performance:
Cici did okay
Beyonce-no thanks with Ave Maria and Lingerie–FAIL!!!!
Keri Hilson-dance or sing honey not both her Mike impressions were not good at all
Neyo—no no no he sucked.
Jay-Z- wasn’t that great
BBD, Guy, Keith Sweat–was most def hot
Mary Mary-Love the performance
….with all the bad comments about BET I dont think that i’ll be watching when it airs in the uk next Sunday!!!!!!
….with all the bad comments about BET I dont think that i’ll be watching when it airs in the uk next Sunday!!!!!!
The show was good considering a lot of things had to be flip flopped at the 11th hour. My two favorite performances was NE doing the J5 medley, and Tyrese, Trey Songz, and Johnnie Gill paying tribute to the Mighty OJays…them brothas killed and looked so dang on good in those black suits. The O Jays did a great job themselves. I was suprised to see Tevin Campbell hasn’t changed and looked alright. I wasn’t really impressed with anyone’s outfits this year. Also Monica showed Keyshia Cole up on her own song…I was confused as to who’s song it was.
Don Cornelious was a mess! Why did they get that old man up there. He took up about 10-15 min.
I AM A BEYONCE STAN. VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT. I USUALLY LOVE EVERYTHING SHE DOES. AND I MEAN EVERYTHING. I DIDNT LIKE HER PERFORMANCE AT THE BET AWARDS. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL, BECAUSE AT THIS POINT WE ALL KNOW THAT BEYONCE CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS WHENEVER SHE WANTS. BUT I WOULD LIKED IT TO BE LESS ABOUT HER HONESTLY. HER VOCALS WERE AMAZZZZINNNNG, BUT I JUST DONT THINK THE BET AWARDS WERE THE TIME OR THE PLACE FOR THAT.
BUT LETS BE HONEST, BEYONCE IS BEING CALLED THIS GENERATION MICEAL JACKSON AND AS FAR AS STATUS, SHE IS THE ONLY, AND I MEAN ONLY PERSON OUT WHO CAN BE COMPARED TO HIM. AT THIS POINT IN HER CAREER, SHE HAS DONE SO MUCH THAT THE GIRK CAN DO ANYTHING SHE WANTS, AND HER BASE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT HER AND DEFEND HER. I TODAY SUPPORT HER AND DEFEND HER EVEN THOUGH IT IS DIFFICULT. BEYONCE HASNT DONE ANYTHING WRONG, SHE JUST COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER PERFORMANCE THAT WAS LESS ABOUT HER WEDDING AND MORE ABOUT MJ.
STILL LOVE YOU BEY. YOUR MY HERO
