I have to give it up to BET this year since they decided to give us some decency rather than usual fuckery. This year's award show was in Los Angeles at the Shrine Auditorium. First off, Chris Brown was able to finally give the well deserved tribute to Michael Jackson and was finally forgiven by the public. The moments of the night for me were Monica's duet with soul singer Deniece Williams of "Silly", which was sampled by Monica's current hit song "Everything to Me". The next moment was the Queen of Facial Expressions, Prince's mega side-eye towards Trey Songz as he failed at singing "Purple Rain" (as since above) in an unofficial tribute attempt. I was LAUGHING MY ASS OFF at this incident. Prince is A FOOL, but I would have been with him on the side-eye. The majority of his official tribute conducted by Janelle Monae, Alicia Keys, Esparanza Spaulding, and Patti LaBelle was pretty good.
Also there was a Teddy Pendergrass tribute lead by model/actor/singer, Tyrese, but it wasn't that good in my opinion... Then there is the foolishness of everybody on stage for the gospel number with the exception of Yolanda Adams. Aubrey "Drake" Graham and Nicki Meningitis bring 35,000 nobodies on stage from Young Money on stage with them when they each won their tokens from EBT, I mean BET.
Somebody needs to find a cure to that audio/visual disease known as Nicki Meningitis aka Nicki Minaj because that bitch has no talent at all...
To sum it up, it was better than the last 3 years BET Awards, but not to the level of the first 3. I guess happy 10th anniversary, BET Awards...
The discussion of social issues and happenings across the South (sometimes the nation). Along with some rants about things such as the media (radio, TV, and internet), music, etc. from a socially progressive yet politically independent perspective.
