BET AWARDS ‘09: JANET JACKSON SPEAKS ON STAGE + VIDEO

Monday, June 29, 2009

Janet Jackson made a very emotional appearance at the end of the ‘09 BET Awards on Sunday night. The singer/actress spoke on behalf of the Jackson Family with this statement:

“My entire family wanted to be here tonight, but it was just too painful. So they elected me to speak with all of you.

To you, Michael is an icon, to us, Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.”

In related news, Janet was made executor of Michael Jackson’s estate and will soon begin the long process of handling his assets, debts and what money her brother left behind. A family friend tells the New York Post, “She’s in charge, she had the documents, she has control of his stuff.”

Our hearts are definitely with Janet and the Jackson family at this time - that took a lot of strength. View video below…

OKay OKay OKay! We know that they only had a few days… we get that!!!! But what people are saying is that BET just showcases ignorant, ghetto, black musicians who aren’t talented! WTF was LIl Wayne and Drake thinking with that performance? Lil Wayne’s cussing was just down right ghetto and so degrading. And then the teenaged girls dancing around Drake. What are they…. R Kelly? I’m sorry, I know it seems like I am complaining, but I really was embarassed for the Jackson family. I wonder how Alicia Keys felt about this??? It was 1% class and 99% ghettoness! Some say no wonder why Michael wanted to look and be white… that was true but white people are no better than blacks ya know! It’s just that they have more of a variety of people such as classy, hillbilliess, trailor trash, reserved, wild party goers…. but we have either common sensed reserved people or ghetto people. It makes no sense and I just wish it would change. I commend BET for trying to pay tribute to Michael, but they could’ve left those weak performances by Ciara and Beyonce out and just made a documentary and kept the comments people made at every break of the show and the Janet moment. I’m not a fan of Janet anymore and I aint even gonna try to act like I adore her like some people are just because she lost her brother, but I can admit that I did feel bad for her and that was nice she came out… I just thought it wasn’t the right time or place.

Good Afternoon,

I cannot beleive the MOCKERY that was made out of BETs so called Tribute to Michael Jackson. We black people living in Toronto are beside ourselves. I do get that they only had two days which is all the more reason to do a off the top Tribute in the Month of august on his B-Day.

How the hell did Deborah Lee get her job? start a petition to get this women fired. Seriously. White media tarnished him so therefore it is up to us Blacks to do it big and look at the shit they have done. WTF.

@3 When you will get it through your skull that MJ had a skin condition that was out of his control. Medical Doctors have told the world that he had vitilego and yet we still have ppl like you making blanket statments that he struggled with being “white” What the Fuck.

@7 You Damn right staff at BET should get fired. I totally agree with you. If you start a petition I will be the second to sign. Fire Deborah Lee. Did you see her dancing like a DONKEY to Lil Waynes “I wish I could FUCK every girl in the world”. What the hell is wrong with that women and they are applauding her by telling her what a good show it is. WHAT.

@Jscene: Everything you said was direct,hoonest and to the point. Please someone how do get in touch with BET to file a complaint. Deborah Lee needs to get fired.

Janet knows how to give her respects. If I’m to go by Joe’s CNN interview where he was pimping his company or something, I’d have to say Janet’s father could learn from her. Joe mostly helped me understand Michael’s choices a bit more. I’m sure he loves Michael but it seems like business and turning the page as QUICKLY as possible on someone’s death is the more important thing for Joe… possibly to carry on easier… but still. So despite what he may truly feel, Joe came across more like a cold-ish executive. Emotionally, Michael and Janet are probably more like their mom. I hope Michael’s kids grow up happy and well adjusted.

I also wish, like Joe said he wishes, that Michael could’ve seen the tons of people who still have love for him. Some of us probably didn’t even realize how much love we have for MJ until that horrible day. For Joe to say he wishes Michael could see that, must mean Michael really, really felt the loss of love that a lot of people used to show for him. I’m not going to be as harsh on Janet anymore as I was at times…. well if it’s really unnecessary. My heart goes out to the Jackson fam and everyone who’s affected by this tragedy.

that show was indeed the worst and i believe the station should be fuckin cancelled. I can’t believe they called that a tribute. I wished they would have waitied to do it the write way. All they cared about was being the first to do and they absolutely shit on it. God bless Ne-Yo because he made the damn thing bearable. Jamie, aside from his a few tastelss jokes also helped. They both sang beautifully at the end and I nearly lost it. I can’t believe it. And wtf was Beyonce doing? Yeah her singing was okay but it had nothing to do with Michael. That girls’s just so freaking dumb and why the hell was she performing such a song in a bathing suit. Can anyone tell me please? i can’t believe it! MIchael Jackson dies, and this is how black people behave. It was sickening and I will forever be ashamed on the stations behalf. Janet was brave to do what she did, I just wish that the tribute would have held some class and she didn’t have to make her speech after such a shameful display. Forever disgusted.

STOP SAYING IT WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO CHANGE IT AT THE LAST MINUTE! LACK OF CLASS IS WHAT I’M UPSET ABOUT. TECHNICAL ISSUES ARE EXCUSED AND UNDERSTANDABLE. ACTING LIKE FOOLS ON STAGE IS NOT! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE ULTIMATE PERFECTIONIST.

ANYWAY…JANET WAS NEVER MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN SHE WAS LAST NIGHT. SHE WAS SO STRONG FOR DOING THAT. I APPRECIATE HER ALLOWING HER VULNERABILITY TO SHOW AND GIVING US FANS THAT GIFT IN THE MIDST OF EVERYTHING SHE IS DEALING WITH. I’M ALSO SO GLAD TO FIND OUT SHE’S CONTROLLING MICHAEL’S ESTATE. NO ONE ELSE IS MORE DESERVING OF THAT RESPONSIBILITY THAN BABY SIS. SHE WILL MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF.

The show probably could have been better if Debra Lee and BET stop kissing jayz and beyonce’s azz.

OVERALL THE SHOW WAS HORRIBLE AND DISGRACEFUL!

that photo of them is gorgeous!! like many others, janet also brought me to tears. their whole family is really in my prayers. i really won’t judge joe jackson based on his public actions. now what i WILL judge is the foolishness that was lil wayne’s performance. smdh 4EVER!!!!!! they really could’ve saved that entire perfromance. they had to bleep out half the crap they said. no one was even hype off of it. the only time they even got a lil bit of applause was when they said something about mj….which i was more or less INSULTED by considering how ignorant the performance was. oh and most shocking, lil wayne actually allowed his DAUGHTER and her lil buddies onstage to sing and shake a tail feather to “i wish i could f*ck every girl in the world”!!!!!!!! u gotta be effin kiddin me! i was outraged. completely outraged! i was also offended by beyonce singing about angels in her panties, smh. it was just so sacrilegious. i just really wish she would have worn a nice white evening gown or something. overall, i don’t think the show was terrible. for everything to be changed at the last minute, it didn’t turn out THAT bad. it just had a few wtf moments lol.

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

also, i really LOVE how the family has taken the time to speak publicly during such a tragedy. there are many others that wouldn’t do the same. so being so selfless is just really beautiful. they understand how much he was loved by everyone…and so they’re taking the time to comfort and thank others. absolutely beautiful.

Wow, from everybody’s said about that BET award show, looks like I didn’t miss anything that special. Glad I didn’t waste my time looking at the vids on youtube. I only searched for Janet’s part…. and New Edition’s but NE didn’t impress me. Janet must have been one of the few great things about the show.

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

I knew it, i was hoping that he would have left eveything to her because the rest of them are broke and money hungry. I’m not suprised that he left it to her because mj and janet were the closer to each other than the rest. I’m praying that she keeps the children as well.

I didn’t watch the BET awards and i don’t think i want to, my definition of a tribute is all the artist singing mj’s song, not promoting themselves.

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

The show was tasteless and disrespectful. BET could have atleast dedicated 30mins of the show to Michael uninterrupted. I could care less if the show was last minute or not. These people call themselves entertainers and artists and you mean to tell me no one could change their performance last minute? It’s not like they had to learn the words to a Michael song, everybody knows at least 5!!! I lost respect for Beyonce who came to the award show and performed what she does on her concerts, but then wanted to give her award to Mike. Neyo, who has stolen all of Michael Jackson moves to help is lame career and yet he forgets to thank Mike? This show was nothing but narcissitic celebrities promoting themselves. NOW IF THEY HAD STATED THAT THEY WERE DEDICATING THE SHOW TO MIKE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS, BUT DON’T CALL IT A TRIBUTE.

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

Sweetness(#87) - I doubt Michael’s heart is like that… to just leave everything to Janet. I have no idea if the rest of the Jackson fam is money hungry but I bet his mom isn’t much of a money hungry type. The way I took it, is that Janet is the one in CHARGE of his assets, debts,etc and how things should be distributed.

Wow, that Janet part brought me to tears. So strong in stature but so vulnerable in emotion. She’s going to do right by Michael, his estate, and his kids.

God speed to the Jackson Family.

Janet had me in tears.

The worst part of the show was the Lil’ Wayne performance…it was a tragedy. And the fact that he had those little girls on stage with him singing along THAT song had me thoroughly disgusted.

BLACK MUSIC IS OFFICIALLY DEAD NOW THAT MJ HAS GONE

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

I THINK OUT OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE TO PERFORM, JANET SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE.

IF JANET WOULD HAVE PERFORMED, IT WOULD HAVE TEARED THE HOUSE DOWN, REAL TALK!

THE ONLY PERFORMER THAT CAN PAY TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL IN A WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE IS JANET IN MY OPINION!

I HOPE SHE DOES DO A PERFORMANCE FOR HIM SOON, IT WILL BE VERY EMOTIONAL!

93.

Bohwe

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

So basically Janet controls the estate, and probably found that out when she went to the house to pick up his belongings. Mike was smart, he knew not to put his children
money in the hands of people who were dependent on him . He was the family breadwinner. Now his kids and mama will always bet taken of. Too bad Janet can’t get custody of the kids.

And for the poster who said the way people acted last night at the awards, is a clear indication as to why MJJ wanted to be white. That was funny and I would understand that , if he did. lol.

There was no respect for MJJ last night, and it was an embarrassment. But, MJJ knew that there’s a difference between artistry and celebrity. And he was an ARTIST.

What is music without Michael Jackson?? I’m still in utter disbelief about this tragic loss.

NO ONE will ever hold that crown again. It started and ended with Michael.

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

Honestly, Michael was too damn good for BET, even if they did that show with good intetions, it was an epic fail. Too many idiots fooling around.

Janet’s speech, Ciara, Ne-Yo and a few others were great.

But yeah, today’s music (90% of it) is just wack, unoriginal and derivative.

@ #91, I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!

AND HOW LIL WAYNE SED “R.I.P MIKE JACK”, WAS JUS RUDE, IT WAS LIKE HE WAS MAKING A JOKE OUT OF THE WHOLE THING!

I DONT KNOW IF THE UNDERAGE GIRLS ON THE STAGE WAS REFERENCE TO ANYTHING, BUT EITHER WAY IT MADE ME LOSE ALL FAITH IN BLACK PEOPLE.

SHIT LIKE THIS MAKES YOU WONDER WHY SOME BLACK PEOPLE, TURN INTO ‘COCONUTS’ AND RUN INTO THE ARMS OF WHITE PEOPLE!

WE FORCE OUR OWN PEOPLE AWAY FROM US, WITH ALL THIS FUCKERY!

THE SHOW, MADE BLACK PEOPLE LOOK LIKE TRASH, WHITE PEOPLE MUST HAVE BEEN LAUGHING AT THIS SHIT! MJS OWN PEOPLE COULD NOT EVEN HONOUR HIM IN A WAY THAT HE DESERVED.

THE SHOW JUS SHOWCASED HOW GREEDY, CORRUPT AND SELFISH BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BECOME. I AGREE MJ WAS IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN, HE HAD WAY TOO MUCH CLASS THEN MOST BLACK PEOPLE I SEE TODAY, THATS WHY HE WAS VICTIMIZED BY HIS OWN PEOPLE.

BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS EMBRACE THE COONS, THATS WHY OUR RACE DONT GET NO WHERE!

The BET Awards, even as a MJ tribute, further displayed how absolutely worthless and unconstructive it is towards the minds of young black people. As if ghetto=black, that’s what they were tryna convey.

The Jackson family are too good for BET.

Wait for the MTV VMA’s…..MTV might be wack too but they will most certainly pay tribute to Michael in the best way possible. Thriller DEFINED the MTV generation and so did the rest of his music from Off The Wall.

“And the whole world has to answer right now,
Just to tell you once again,
Who’s bad!”

BET needs to redeem themselves after last night. It would have been much better to choose a select few to sing MJ songs (medley style like t he Ojay’s tribute) at the beginning, with a video/picture tribute in the middle, and then another medley again at the end. Hell I want Debra Lee’s paycheck. Everyone else should have been relegated to just giving out or receiving awards. No silly skits, no crude jokes, and no cursing. I have never figured out why they allow children to attend these shows and then let people act that way in front of them. No respect whatsoever! Please God let Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, or somebody who was a part of Michael’s career and partially responsible for his success produce a tribute for him. It would be great if one was done on his birthday in August. I say we all go over to BET’s website and let them know how we feel. Even if it wasn’t supposed to be a tribute the show was the worst one yet! I mean little girls on stage while such a disrespectful song is being sung! What a disgrace and embarrassment to the entire human race, not just Black people! God help us!

If you want to share your concerns about last nights show you can go to BET’s website, scroll to the bottom of the page, click on “contactus@bet.com”, and then click email BET. I just sent them an email. It may not change anything, but at least they will know how we feel and may do better in the future should they find themselves in this position again. Be blessed!

108.

call me crazy but...

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

^ They will just delete those emails. The only thing you can do is basically get the blogs and stuff involved with a petition. That way people will know how everyone is feeling about that. Celebrities read these blogs. Don’t ask CL to do it! I doubt they will but you never know.

…my prayers go out to the whole jackson family.

AS FAR AS THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE AWARDS THEY DID A GOOD JOB BEING THAT THEY HAD ONLY 3 DAYS TO PREPARE…..A TRIBUTE FOR MICHAEL AS WELL AS DO THE ACTUAL AWARD SHOW THEY WAY IT WAS PLANNED FROM DAY ONE!!!

Janet was the catalyst to the most gut wrenching explosion of emotion I have felt since watching TMZ announced that MJ died. That is soooooo smart to have Janet as executor of his estate…. you know death brings out the ugliest in people and Janet is probably the most trustworthy of all his family.. she has the ost money which decreases her chances of shadiness by a thousand….

Michael we will miss you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!

LONG LIVE THE KING!!

BUY THE THRILLER ALBUM AGAIN AND PUSH HIS SALES TO OVER 100 MILLION.. MAKE HIS FEAT UNATTAINABLE !!

I think it was a nice show, lets not forget peeps, they only had 3 days to put in new stuff. I think Beyonce did an amazing job and so did Neyo. I luvved the show and for dumbazz that said Mr. Jackson doesn’t care, how in the hell do u know? Did you see him any at all on the day of Michael’s death? hell no, because he was just as distraught as the rest of his family. I cried like hell when Janet made her speech, I am so sadden. I myself can admit I wished I had supported Michael more in life, he was an amazing person. None of his songs degraded women, had foul words, etc and he was very generous with his money. Another pair of wings have been given out by God. May you rest in peace Michael, rest in peace………………..

And what a beautiful picture of her and Mike when they were kids, worth a million words.

the awards show was disappointing but seeing janet at the end made it all worthwhile. seeing her so emotional and full of her love for her brother–a man we celebrate as an icon, was so stirring. i wept like a baby. i really feel for this family and pray that michael is finally at peace.

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

I absolutely felt that BET could have done better with the tribute to MJ. Jamie made a few tasteless jokes about Michael “No wonder Michael was always grabbing his crotch, his pants were too tight and he had a camel toe..” but i do respect him coming out with his MJ shirts and whatnot.
I didn’t appreciate anything else besides the Janet speech, the Ne-Yo performance and the guys in the beginning of the video doing the J5medley.

I felt pretty embarrasedfor Janet, however. The BET awards got very tacky and ghetto at times.

I know everyone is talking about the BET awards, but i miss Soul Train Awards and the American Music Awards, those are an award shows!!!! If Soul Train was around, they would’ve killed the MJ Homage big time!!! It was good, but I expected more. I love Janet and I give her praise regardless what happened before, her and her brother is Icons!!!! And coming out in this hard time, I give her the utmost respect as an Icon artist. If it wasn’t for her and her brother I wouldn’t be doing my music producing period!!! I know MJ is in peace and with his idols in heaven and looking down at his family and his fans.

***PLEASE READ***

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

okay first!! whoever reported about janet and his estate is WRONG!! an EXECUTOR (and its EXECUTRIX) is someone the deceased names in a will….and if janet was to be “in charge” of his estate the the court would appoint her as an ADMINSTRATRIX. The estate would go to the next of kin which is his children….but thats another legal story…..

I dont think the BET awards were as bad as people are saying…i do agree that they couldve done a lil better with the “tribute” but it was a short time frame. and one thing u all have to understand is it wasnt supposed to be a mourning tribute…it was a celebration of his music. and what do u all expect when u have jamie foxx as the host? he is a COMEDIAN so of course it wasnt going to be serious.

the performances…i didnt particularly like soulja boy, lil wayne or beyonce’s performance but u all have to understand yeah it was a DEDICATION to michael but it was still an AWARD SHOW for the PRESENT ARTISTS!!!! lol and what the hell did you all expect from LIL WAYNE???

and for us as black people to constantly put each other down is the real disgrace! if the ones making those comments about how its shameful to be black and u are black….how can we possibly come together if we put each other down everytime we try to do anything???

but i think everyone is VERY EMOTIONAL about his passing and i think thats why so many people are disappointed. we all were touched by michael and his music. but there will be a million and one tributes to michael…

what u all really should be complaining about is all these LAME ASS SHOWS BET got coming up…..now deborah lee should be fired for those lol

123.

***PLEASE READ***

and i also think any tribute that is done wont be good enough for michael….this man was the effin GREATEST!!! omg im bout to cry….time for me to get off here now lol!!

I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON!!!! loved u since i was 2….and im 22 now! REST IN ETERNAL PEACE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED AND NEVER EVER EVER EVER FORGOTTEN……. .::tear::.

PUHHH LEEAASSEE!

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

please do not comment on something that you do not comprehend it was of honor, respect, and admiration that within only 3 days these peope these entertainers dedicated extra precision and time to Michael Jackson, his legacy and what he stood for those tributes werent planned they didnt rehearse several weeks before hand they put their all into this worked very hard ppl like keri for stance alered their performances to dedicate it to this man who is a musical icon a man who was just amazing at what he did.
Michael Jackson did not let the stage move him he moved the stage he was the stage.

How dare you criticize those who put more than effort and their time to honor mj you have no Idea what it took to put this through. It was a great show. And yes I have a sense of knowledge of an idea because I went to the rehearsals.

Everyhing you said was entirely disrespectful to mj as well.
nuff said God Bless.

I am so disgusted for the BET AWARDS for this to be a tribute to Michael Jackson alot of things were done in bad taste and overall self indulgent…can someone tell me why the hell Souljah boy was there…and what the hell were beyonce and jay z talking about…the show was garage bottom line..the tribute to the o jays was just as bad…what the hell was trey songz doing…I was just really disappointed

I think to those who don’t understand why many are angry, embarassed and disgusted with this “ceremony” is because they had MJ’s name attached to it and they promoted as being in his honor.

For the people that stand by the fact that they had 3 days is fine however when you are in the media and entertainment you have to be quick on your toes and be able to deliver. They did not, plain and simple. They couldn’t ” put their money where their mouth is”.

It has nothing to do with people not showing black love and etc (just the fact that many of us are truly disgusted with the show speaks volume) it is the fact that it had very litttle to do with MJ. He was a phenomenon and they did not portray a show that could match what he is, was and will always be.

Many other shows were taking notes because BET went first. Unfortunately, the bar was not raised high if even at all. The other tributes will make a mockery of BET’s tribute…(At this point anything will)

I will not bring up the bad parts of the show since everyone seems to be fully aware of them.

RIP Michael Jackson (that will never sound right) and Thank you Miss Jackson for being selfless and bringing us comfort in your time of need. So much love and so much respect is sent your way.

I hate when people *beep* up MJ songs — and that’s what they did at BET Awards! Janet is strong woman.

Just wanted to throw in a little correction here… KATHERINE JACKSON (not Janet) had temporary control of MJ’s estate until today (7/6/09). The judge has now appointed the original executors listed in MJ’s will as the special administrators of the estate, as MJ wanted.

I, too, was disappointed in BET’s tribute to MJ…. definitely could have been better… but Janet’s remarks were so heartfelt…. couldn’t help but feel her pain…

(addition to previous comment)….Just in case you haven’t heard, new controllers of the estate are John Branca & John McClain, the originally named executors in the will. Branca was MJ’s longtime lawyer & friend, and McClain is a music exec. The judge did rule, however, that they must keep Katherine Jackson in the loop about MJ’s assets.

RIP MJ…. I hope you finally do have peace… God knows the world wouldn’t let you have it…
