Last night in L.A the 2009 BET Awards show took place and I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t wait to see what BET had in store when it came to the tribute to the legendary Michael Jackson. Plus, Jamie Foxx was the host so I imagined I would get a tickle.*Sigh* With that being said you know I needed to give a run down from my point of view of this whole show. While some moments left me in tears others made me wonder why in the world was I watching the coonery known as BET.
The Good
New Edition~ opened up the show. And even though it was great to see them all together *Yes even Bobby* I was slightly disturbed by two things. 1. Bobby got fat as hell. He looked like he was munching on a few hams backstage. He must have gotten off the pipe. 2. Bobby was doing the flick tongue thing like he was singing “My Perrogative”. See this is why you can’t take crack heads out of their elements. Dude looked like Eddie Kane from the Five Heartbeats. *Moving on*
Neyo~ Dude was actually one of the first artists that came out that sounded great. He did that! Just wished he kept on his hat though. Dude looked like a bon bon with a red Bill Cosby sweater on.
Maxwell~ OMG I love this man so much. Maxwell turned it out at the award show when he sang “Pretty Wings”. This was the biggest highlight for me….the biggest. Owwww I was singing the song and somehow I ended up nekkid. I don’t know what happened but my undies were on the ceiling fan.
Jay-Z~ Jay performed “DOA” and it was ok. The thing that I thought brought it home was the fact that Jay cut those things out his head. OMG I stood and gave him a round of applause. That dude deserved an award for that right there.
Janet~ Watching Janet visibly shaken and distraught hit me that Mike is gone even more. I saw the pain in her eyes. While her daddy was talking about his record label, Janet was talking about her brother. I cried because with all the coonery, some people forgot we were trying to pay tribute to Michael.
Jaime Foxx & Neyo ~ This tribute made me cry. This seemed to actually be the only tribute of the night befitting of Michael. I thought Neyo did his thang as usual and Jaime was great. This actually made me cry. This coupled with Janet, my eyes were burning with tears.
The Bad
Jaime~ was the host of the show and it was interesting. It was like watching your uncle at the family reunion trying to practice moves that he use to do in the 80′s, but he’s continuously falling down because he drank too much Jack Daniels. Now I’m not confirming or denying that he was under the influence of the Jesus Juice, but it damn sure seemed that way.
The Censors~ How the fuck you gonna have a show with rap music and be late on the bleeps. I heard *Shit, Pussy, Bitch, Fuck*. Come on, you might as well just scrap the shit and let them cuss up a storm. I know the FCC is gonna fine Debra Lee.
Beyonce~ This was a performance that BET could have done without. What was Bey thinking? First off, the song I don’t think was BET ready. That was a song for a show in Vegas. Don’t get me wrong, I actually love the song but it just wasn’t the right song for EBT….I mean BET. And the Tina Knowles collection you were rocking was an EPIC FAIL. No wonder no one I know buys that Deron crap.
No Chris Brown~ I don’t know what kind of tribute to Michael you were trying to do with no CB. True the dude beat a bitch’s ass, but he is bad as hell when it comes to his MJ shit. This was total fuckery. Chris would have done a bang up job*Oops no pun attended*.
Young Money Baby ~ Ok, this was the most R.Kelly type performance I ever seen. How the fuck you gonna sing “Every Girl in the World” song then bring up children on the stage while singing it? What kind of rape fantasies is that shit. You’re making me think R. Kelly produced that damn performance. I’m looking at these girls like, damn they look like 12 year olds. Not knowing my ass was right. Wow that was a frigging Fail Friday segment all on its own.
Non-Educated Asses~ No one seemed like they ever learned how to read on that show. Damn near everyone sounded stupid as hell. I’m gonna need these people to pick up a book and get the hell off of twitter. Lawd Tiny was the worse, but we all knew this chick sounded like her teef *yea I said teef* gets in the way of her words.
And the Nominees Are~ They totally axed that shit. How the hell I was supposed to know who was in the category? What was the sense in doing that? This is an award show people. I need to know who the hell is in the category so I can boo the people I can’t stand.
The MJ Tribute~ Where was the tribute they talked about? I didn’t see it. If I missed it please point it out to me? I thought it was gonna be some dancing or something, but I got nothing. MTV is gonna go out with a MJ tribute for yall asses. And it’s sad that a white network is gonna do a better tribute for a black man.
All in all, the award show was a waste of my time. Not only was it ghetto as hell, the shit was way too long. They made it seem like the MJ tribute changed the whole format of the show, but there was no damn real tribute. That just shows that this show was gonna be bootleg and they weren’t prepared. I officially gave up on BET. I don’t really mess with their ass anyway, but after this I no longer watch it because all I see is coonery, no black entertainment.
Holla at me: What did you think of the award show?
