So, I dont know what you did last night but I was up watching the B.E.T. awards. All I can say is, it was alright for such a great last minute change of plans. With the passing of the Great Michael Jackson, B.E.T. decided to turn the whole show into a tribute to him. It was all just so thrown together though. I mean dont get me wrong, I love my black people and Michael but the show was just not what I thought it would be. Or then again, it was EXACTLY what I thought it would be.
The camera guys were all over the place, whoever did the editing was off, and of course my black people showed their damn color. But not all things were bad. Keri Hilson looked great, Monica's hair was on point, Amerie looked great, Taraji did her thing and of course Janet Jackson came out looking incredible.
And lets not forget the tribute to the OJays. Tyrese, Johnny Gill, and Trey Songz definitely represented and oh my, MAXWELL!!!!! MAXWELL MAXWELLMAXWELL... He did that with the whole falling wings stuff... LOVED IT!!!!
Oh and what was up with Lil Wayne singing with Drake about "I wish I could {love} every girl in the world" with 10 year olds on stage... Come on dude, are we trying to be the new R. Kelly???
Jamie killed it with his Moonwalk and Michael Tribute
Alicia Keys was stunning as she received the Humanitarian Award along with Wyclef.
Monica and Keyshia Cole sang Trust and dominated the stage.
Beyonce stole the show with two awards and a gorgeous rendition of Ave Maria
The fellas, Tyrese, Trey Songz, and Johnny Gill did a great job as they paid tribute to the O'Jays.
LeBron James won the award for Male Athlete of the Year.
Neyo and Jamie Foxx killed their version of Michael Jackson's I'll be There
Though it was tough, Janet Jackson came on stage to thank the fans for their love and support as the family is greiving their awesome loss.
Until next blog, remember: We got from the BET awards exactly what we should expect for the BET awards...lol
So, I know I have really "backslid" when it comes to writting blogs. I guess I've been keeping busy but alot has happened in my absence. The legend, Michael Jackson, has passed away after suffering from a heartattack.
I must say that when I heard this news, I was completely devistated. And everyone in the world, from Cali to London, are in morning. This has to be one of the greatest losses in the History of music, right along with the death of James Brown. I just am in disbelief. I know that everyone will remember the exact place and time when they heard of this tragic news. I was in the car, leaving the dog groomers, blasting 97.9 the box. The radio came on in mid sentence as one of the radio personalities asked for everyone to keep this fallen man in their prayers. The entire time they were playing "Beat it" in the background and it didnt dawn on me who they were talking about. And now, on this 25th day of June, Michael Jackson has left this world and went on to Heaven. His family and friends will be in our prayers. But remember that we must celebrate the greatness that was Michael Jackson and understand that he is in a better place and that our lives and music in general would be nothing without him.
In MEMORY OF MICHAEL JACKSON 1958-2009 50 years young, we loved you when you sang your ABC's and we will always Remember the Time when you stole our hearts.
Feel free to comment and leave notes and whatnot on all of my posts. All words are welcome, but you better believe that HATERS are not welcome but they will be appreciated. If you have nothing better to do than hate on me, then do your worse. Otherwise, keep your eyes open to what I have to say!!!
