First things first, iactually DID NOT miss the BET Awards this year; even though ishould've SMH! Well anyway, ithink its pretty fair to say that more than 3/4 of BET's Viewers tuned in Last night only to see what type of tribute would be made to Michael Jackson, iknow idid. ihonestly wasn't to interested in the awards show itself, when theirs no good music out; & no interesting artists; your not going to have an interesting award ceremony; thats the way isee it, but anyways ... Jamie Foxx did an OKAY job to say the MOST, his jokes weren't the type of jokes to make you fall out your seat like Mo'Nique's, even though imust admit he did make an appearance in the beginning dressed as Michael from the "Beat It" video. New Editions performance wasn't on point @ all, Ralph Tresvant sounded horrible & ithink they tried too hard to sound like Michael & his bro's, rather than to just sound like NE & sing a Jackson 5 song. iwas a little disappointed with that, but whadever. When they announced that LeBron won the Athlete of the year award, me & everyone else's mouth dropped; we heard all the BOO-ING in the background because people thought Kobe would win, but nah ... lol . Keri Hilson's performance was fine until the end when she started being all extra, it was like SDFU and go backstage already, she was swinging her legs and bugging out & the audience was in crickets; iwas like is she serious? lmao, she kinda made a fool of herself. iguess Ne-Yo decided he should perform without a hat in MJ's honor? lets hope so cause that shit was HORRIBLE, he looks like an alien without a hat. but besides his appearance, his voice is one of the best in the game right now, he really killed that 1st performance. The Bell Biv DeVoe, Guy, &' Keith Sweat performance was cool, igotta HUGE kick outta Keith Sweats voice . Beyonce's performance was SOOO boring mann, iexpected so much from her. she's usually the first performance of the night and she kills it w/ an up tempo joint but idk wdf happened this year, she put the audience in a deep ass coma; & then that big ass thing she was wearing didn't help out too much,
iguess they put it on to wake the audience up, and give her some attention? lol . Ciara's performance was really nice to me, she sounded beautiful and ithink she opened up a lot of peoples eyes like damn, maybe she can sing? why you ask? cause she wasn't on stage shaking her ass and breaking her back like she usually does, A+ Ciara :) . iyawned all through Jay-Z's performance of D.O.A, i'm all for the killing of Auto-Tune, i'm just not feeling that song, sorry "Hova". Tevin Campbell came out of his little shell for 5 mins. on National Television; and he STILL to this day sounds like a little kid, lol . he still got it tho - Trey, Tyrese, & Johnny Gill did a good job as well, Tyrese hasn't performed in so long, iforgot he sang . his voice is just as strong as it was 4-5 years ago . imissed it when Eddie Levert cursed! lol, & The little Baby Boy thing on stage was hot, iwas in my seat like (say ihate you jodi - say ihate you jodi!) & she said it! iwas dying. it was all cool until Ving Rhames showed up acting ignorant, "Guns Is Michael Jackson, Guns is the BET Video Awards" istill want someone to explain to me what the fuck he meant by saying that? once again, the audience was in crickets. all icould do was shake my head. The Young Money Performance was cool, Drake messed up sometime during his verse & so did Baby, but overall it was good . iwas wondering why he sat on that chair the whole performance, but then later he explained that he tore is ACL, so get well soon drizzy! Maxwell's performance was nice as well, he brings back hope to the R&B world . & the Trust performace with Keyshia Cole & Monica was hot, ikinda got the feeling Monica was tryna out do Keyshia though, lol . iMOST DEFINITELY did not expect Janet to show, when the camera's zoomed in on her face we all fell off our seats like oh shit, then it was like aight everybody shut up, we wanna see what she's gonna say; ithink she did a great job, she ddnt make it too long or too short, it was just right. During this time you don't wanna say too much anyway because the tabloids are just looking for something to take & run with. Joe Jackson was their laughing & having a good ole' time, iain't think nothing of it until they revealed that he was their to promote his new record label or group or w|e . all im gonna say is that, that right their is kinda awkward . iexpected SOO much more from the Michael Jackson Tribute performance, since they continued to JAM it in peoples head that they were there to celebrate Michael's life etc. why would they perform such a sad song? like that makes NOO sense . iexpected at least a Beat It performance, since it was such short notice, thriller would've been way to hard to accomplish in 2 1/2 days. but w/e the award show was pretty boring in a whole. hopefully they realize that Mo'Nique deserves a PERMANENT hosting Job . ;-)
