Jay Z is an asshole. He needs to sit his old ass down. Sheesh. Anyway, here's a video review that pretty much sums everything up. The show was WHACK! >:(

Beyonce was supposed to sing "I'll Be There" and only wanted to sing her own songs. She's just as self-serving as her thug husband.

I cant believe people actually believe Jay-Z had anything to do with Chris not performing. Why would he even care? Its just a rumor. Just like Al Sharpton pulling him form the awards was a rumor and how Covergrl stopped him from performing was a rumor. But yet yall believe this one?
Yall believe anything and only believe this because his "claimed" dancer wrote it on twitter. Are you serious? I can go on twitter right now and pose as Chris Browns dancer and right the same damn thing. Its not hard.
Here's a thought, maybe Chris was never set to perform in the first place. There was no real confirmation, only rumors and claimed sources. Just like there were rumors going around that Justin, Usher, and Whitney would be perfoming too, but they didnt either. If for some reason he was performing(which I doubt), I would believe Toure(who is actually a journalist who works for BET) who posted on his twitter

No she didnt....So I dont get how she's promoting her tour 95% of the people watching the performance didnt even know its was from the tour. Maybe she just used the exact same performance because she's on tour right now and didnt have time to change, practice, and rehearse for another peformance.

^^^Umm...No. Do me a favor, K? Go back and look at the screen cap. They never confirmed he was opening the show, if they did, when you clicked on it, It woulda had an article actually confirming and elaborating with details just like they did with everyone else they announced as performing, but they didnt.... All the BET screencap was saying was what the "Word On Tweet" was. Meaning what alot of peole where talking about on twitter involving the BET Awards, which was Chris opening the show. IT WAS NEVER CONFIRMED. JUST RUMORED! Also, why it would make no sense, is because why would BET "confirm" Chris is opening when there was an article released by Billboard a couple hours before this screencap saying the New Edition was opening the show. www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/beyonce-new-edition-maxwell-to-perform-michael-1003988556.story

Like I said earlier, some folks are just plain blind. The Knowles family, including Jay-Z, are always cock blocking and trying to derail other people's careers.

I'm not blind. Why would Jay Z care if he performed? Thats not his business, Legal issues weren't the matter cuz Rihanna wasnt even there? And since when does Jay Z have that kind of power? Thats right, he doesnt. Once again, Chris was probably never performing in the first place(it was never confirmed) and if he was then I doubt Jay had anything to do with it. He does NOT have that kind of power. BET makes the decisions, not him...So if anything, you should blame them.

This isn't the first time that the Knowles have done this with BET. In order to secure Kelly Rowland a spot on the BET Awards, Matthew had to assure them that Beyonce would be apart of the performance. There's alot more that goes on behind-the-scenes at these programs. And trust, people like the Knowles will use their status to get what they want.

LMFAO @ people believing these rumors. People are that desperate for ammo? If you hate Beyonce and Jay-Z, just be upfront about it, nothing wrong with that. Don't try and back it up with a bunch of BS though.

And blind fans bug me so I guess we're even. Jack ass! Yep, I'm a blind fan. Your the one taking meaningless "rumors" from angry Bee fans and beliving they are correct. STFU! And it's not just Beyonce ha.ters, it's Britney, Carrie, Kelly, Ciara, Madonna, Taylor, ect...People just really are messed in the head sometimes...Now carry on with your sad, pathetic life, believing Beyonce and the Knowles family are out to destroy the world. Better watch it or Matthew might have your internet turned off for Bashing Bee? Loser! People were pissed when they thought Beyonce was gonna perform MJ songs and "get her name out there"...people were mad when they thought she would do a single to promote her album, and now people are made when she sung an album track that is somewhat fitting of the situtation... *end rant* :)

FOX is re-airing the MJ theme night of season 8's "American Idol." Now that's how you do a MJ tribute show. All of the contestants performed a MJ song.
The so-called professional singers at the BET Awards should have been able to to learn a MJ song and perform it at the awards show. Basically amateurs did it better than the professionals.

^The amateurs did it better because they had a whole week to be ready. Some of this professionals had around two days to do something. Anyways, I haven't watched it, was it really as bad as you're all saying?

I think it was probably all scrapped for an actual tribute show that will happen in the future. If the biggest stars that resembled MJ's style performed after a 2-day rehearsal and got it all wrong, it would have been even more embarrassing at such a devastating time. I think it is more practical for all the artists that would like to contribute get a chance to properly construct a proper tribute for MJ.
It might also have to do with $$$$$$$$. I'm sure there were some kind of monetary issues that some of the producers or performers had even though it was just supposed to be a simple tribute. The performances were most likely supposed to happen, but were scrapped last minute because of these reasons.

Anyways, I haven't watched it, was it really as bad as you're all saying? Ciara, Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx, and New Edition learned a MJ song to perform at the BET Awards. If they can do it then so can the others. Ne-Yo and Jamie sang multiple MJ songs. There was NO EXCUSE for all the other so-called professionals not to do the same. They just wanted to sing their latest single. The BET Awards was a hot mess! It's the talk of You Tube, Twitter, Urban radio, and Urban blogs. A lot of people were DISGUSTED and HORRIFIED with what happened at the BET Awards. The look on Keyshia Cole's face pretty much showed how disgusted she was with the show when Ving Rhames got on stage and started cursing and acting all crazy. Keyshia's face said it all. And you had those rappers cursing and being all vulgar with the lyrics. And young girls dancing on stage to nasty lyrics. BET may get fined for what happened because their censor couldn't catch all the curse words. Also that vulgar rap song was done just before Janet Jackson's appearance on stage.

So if Bey was already prepared for "I'll Be There/"Halo" why didn't she do that?
I understand BET wanted her to sing a different song for the opening but when Bey was pushed back to the second hour of the show why didn't she sing "I'll Be There/"Halo?" Or she could have chosen any song from MJ's catalog. Why did she choose to do a set from the tour?
