Why did BET put Chris on their website? That's bullsh**.

They couldn't get Alicia to do something in tribute?

Did Whitney perform on the pre-show? Supposedly she was doing rehearsals but she never appeared on the show ONCE. Nor did BET mention her during the credits!

BET is the new MTV! Last year MTV hyped up Britney's appearance and all she did was a stupid skit. Hyping up Chris Brown's performance (and putting it on their homepage!) was just disgusting.

LOVED the Janet appearance. Best thing the whole night.
All in all, I must say I'm severely disappointed by the show this year. They could've done SO much better but I still think they did the best keeping in mind the time constraints. Still, they should of had a seperate show dedicated ENTIRELY to a Michael Jackson tribute (and not invite people like Solja Boy).

I agree it shoulda been a seperate show cause a lot of that was just downright embarrassing.

The BET Awards were extremely misleading from start to finish considering what was reported in the media.
Maxwell & Janet both saved the night, in my opinion.

Whitney should have ended the night in pure class. However, looking back, the BET Awards show has ALWAYS been a ghetto mess. Its naive to think the awards should be the top of the line. Thats why I watch this every year for pure COMEDY!

Beyonce had the best vocal of the night, but I don't know why the hell she sung that song. Ugh. I hate how she's doing this pop Celine Dion thing.
All in all the show was bad.

She should have just performed HALO and call it a day. At the end of the performance she could have said "Michael, I know you're in heaven watching over us." END. It would have been all over media tomorrow. Matt and Bey dropping the ball...once again.

I didn't catch the show until Alicia and Wyclef got up there. So far:
* I didn't realize Tiny was that ghetto. lol. I hope Kandi has a bit more class on the next season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta".
* There was no need for those Baby Boy interludes. Ugh.
* Maxwell and Janet were pretty classy. Preach Janet!!!
* Drake could've done a medley of "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful". And be over with. Lil' Wayne and crew had to come out with "Every Girl" and "Always Strapped". BET was off with the editing. Damn.
* Jamie & Ne-Yo's performance was good. The vocals were good but the problem was Ne-Yo's bald head.
I agree about Janet. An MJ tribute could've worked as a different show.

There really was no tribute. All the stars sung MJ's ballads because we ALL KNOW he was known for his amazing vocal skills....
BET overhyped the show WAY TOO MUCH. Everyone still performed their singles. There was no THRILLER or BEAT IT or DONT STOP performances. Without those 3 songs, its no tribute. That's like having a Britney tribute without BABY, TOXIC, and WOMANIZER.

Overall, BET just let me down. I know they only had 3 days to revamp their entire show but there is just no excuse for the f.uckery that went down tonight. They could've just had a 10-minute MJ sing-a-long and it would have been a better and more fitting tribute.
And the performances, Lawd they were awful. Aside from Bey, Jay, the O'Jays, Monica & Maxwell they sucked. Not to mention I felt like I was watching a Jamie Foxx/Ne-Yo concert. Them ninjas performed a combined 7 times. No thank you, BET.

Mariah should be the one singing this... I wonder if she would've pulled it off though.

LOL @ ninjas. I know what you wanted to say. LOL
You are right, those "ninjas" need to sit down. I thought Usher, Justin, and Chris were going to be there. Also how is Robin Thicke's wife going to be there, and not him. Just retarded awards show.
Can't wait till non-ghettos can produce a MJ Tribute like MTV is going to do in September for Mike. Something professional with class and UPTEMPO songs. Can't wait to see Britney do DIRTY DIANA or BAD.

Yeah freakin' right @ MTV doing any better. The VMA's haven't been decent in years...you think they're just gonna magically pull it together and put on a stellar tribute. God knows they should seeing as though they have much more time and they owe their entire existence to MJ but I'm gonna bet theirs is gonna pretty bad too. The Grammys may be the only awards show to give him a proper tribute.
I just cannot get over how bad this show was. And for the people who actually tried to inject some class, they were just sh!t out of luck. I mean Bey had to go and dedicate a prayer in song right after Soulja Boi just finished turning his swag on with his pants halfway down his ass. UGH! Maxwell was great but he was just too little too late at that point. The show had already been shot to hell.

BET Awards was terrible...just plain ol' terrible. The O'Jays tribute was GREAT and so was Maxwell and Ne-Yo but that was about it. Bee's vocals were GREAT but the performance was lacking for someone like Beyonce who is known to be a bad ass entertainer. I wanted her to BLAZE the stage.
There was really no MJ tribute, just shout outs throughout the show. They really are slippin'.

BET's 106 & Park Red Carpet Pre-Show was much better than the actual awards show. It was very entertaining and they had some great performances by Hurricane Chris, Kid Cudi, LeToya, Day26, etc. Plus appearances by Amerie, Diddy, Ryan Leslie, Ne-Yo, etc.
And what was up with all the cursing on the BET Awards show? There was more cursing on this show than in previous BET Awards shows.
What was up with those girls being on stage with Drake, Lil Wayne, and Young Money. The song was very vulgar and it just wasn't right to have girls on that stage for that song.
