BET used Michael Jackson's name to get ratings and to get people to watch that train wreck of a show. Thank you Neyo and New Editon for staying true to Michael Jackson. And both Beyonce and Keri Hilson sucked. Beyonce looked tired and burned out. I guess her back handed comments about the Jackson's a few months ago is coming back to bite her.
personally i hated this years BET awards my favorite parts was jamie foxx doin the moonwalk and the other things he did;neyo and all he did;new edition;BBD;maxwell;lil wayne,drake,mack maine,and more people.AND FOR BEYONCE I LOVE HER BUT I THINK SHE COULD HAVE DID MORE THEN SINGING AVE MARIA;
Ciara did not get nominated for nothing because her cd did not come out in time for any nominations. Beyonce and Keri Hilson are whack, I cannot believe these 2 women are all we have as far as nominations. Jazmine Sullivan could have won for all I cared just so they didn't. Both performances sucked, and whomever told Keri she could sing needs to be punched in the mouth. She is terrible.
i am so glad that my husband lil wayne won which everyone new bkuz he is number one on top of the charts n mi rolemodel ciara im surprise she wasnt nominated for best female r&b artist but i guess i still love you cece!!!
I thought Maxwell's performance was the best of the nite...can't wait for the album to come out. Maxwell and K'Jon are the only artists that I'm really feelin rite now...I advise everyone to check out K'Jon becuz he is the truth. Y'all can listen to his songs @ www.myspace.com/whoiskjon
I admit, there were some highlights. But overall that awards show was scary. http://tinyurl.com/ScaryBET-Awards
