Sunday night like most people I was tuning into the BET Awards. After days of waiting to see what they had in stored for everyone they turned out to be disappointing,boring and wacky. It seem like the BET staff just laid around all last year until June to wake and say "Oh snap the BET Awards shoot" and rushed the show the best way that could and it was tacky,strange and odd as I thought. So with out further a due here is my run down of the BET AWARDS:
The Theme- Was I the only one who felt that we were in "Wonderland"?? I mean who thought of that setup? If that was the idea they sure did make me fell like Alice lost and freaking confused just like the movie.
The Opening Act: Mary J.Blige- I thought she was dry in the beginning. I didn't like her performance not only that I thought the verse in Biggie song "F****ing an R&B B**** "where he says "I would go to jail if I f***ed Patti Labelle should have been blurred out not just out respect,but she was being horned that night and it just wrong to me anyhow. I mean yeah the song is old,but come on now. If she wanted Biggie part to come up about her that is all she had to play. Anyway, the only thing that stood out to me was when Mary brought out Anita Baker with them both singing "Rapture" together. I love that song! Always will be a classic!! Everything else was blah to me including DJ "SHUT YOUR ASS UP" Khaled.
Opening Credits: Yes I peeped that too. Of course MC Lyte did her thing ,but who ever typed up people names didn't. They messed up Justin Bieber and Shirley Ceasar last names smh.
Kevin Heart- He was alright. Before the awards show I didn't find him funny noways,but I told my self that I would give him a try on the awards Sunday night. I did laugh at some of his jokes,but I wasn't cracking up on the floor like some people were. I laughed at his jokes when he was going in on the crowd on celebs such as Busta Rhymes saying "his vest look like a big brain" and Trey Songz look like a beige greyhound". Of course I laughed at how he went on Jamie Foxx for fighting at a Usher concert lmao. Now that was funny! Not to also mention Iam glad he got on Diddy ass about changing his name again. Why would you turn your name from Diddy to Swag?? WTF? So what is your group gonna be called "Swagg Dirty Money"?? Also he talked about getting to Jaden Smith's Tiger pants and Rick Ross needing a Sports Bra lol. Kevin Heart did a nice job not too bad.
The Presenters- Only presenters that sounded very professional were Tracy Ellis Ross,Malcolm Jamal-Warner and Nia Long. Maybe because they are professional actors. Everybody else was thinking too hard while they was saying there lines. They looked and sounded corny like they were doing a school play.
The Real Husbands of Hollywood- I really like that! That was very funny. Kevin Heart cracked me up with the "Non MotherF***ing Factor" T-shirt on lol. I really cracked up when Kevin had Mariah on his back while Nick Cannon walked in LMAO. They was too funny. Then of course my girl Tammi came on the scene and gave a show as well. They cracked me up. My only thing is Bobby Brown didn't talk as much. Why was that???
Ace Hood ft Rick Ross and Lil Wayne- I love Rick Ross music his songs be getting me very hype and they just be crankin'. Well not during that dry as performance of "Aston Martin Music". First of all that song is getting played and then where was Drake and Michelle??? I was like hurry up please with this dry shit. Anyway after all that slow mess, Ace Hood came out rapping "Hustle Hard" with Rick Ross and Lil Wayne coming on the stage. The performance was alright. I wasn't feeling it as much,but was jamming to the beat.
Jill Scott- I love Jill Scott! I even have her radio station on my Pandora app,but I wasn't into her performance like that as well. I was glad to see she brought something different to the stage with the whole cafe' scene. I thought that was cool,but everything was okay nothing I haven't seen before. She did manage to bring out Idris Elba to spice up things though with lots of chemistry going on between them two.
Alicia Keys- Please tell me why everytime BET choose her to perform she always take us back down to memory lane on the damn Piano??? It's like Alicia can you hit us with one of your new songs please?? I did like how she did the Orchestra part in the beginning with the Beethoven no5 song. What I didn't like that was too odd that she started to sing the chorus to "Maybach Music 2" which came out on Rick Ross CD in 2009 WTF? No to mention Rick Ross comes out of nowhere sing a rap verse leaves and she go back into her songs???? I didn't find that exciting. I was bored...NEXT
Trey Songz/Kelly Rowland- Thank You for waking me up!!!! Iam not a #TreyAngel and I think he still sound like a billy goat,but he did bring the show some life while he sung "Love Faces". Of course he took off his shirt for his fans as usual lol. He also happen to bring out Kelly Rowland to spice things up. She was new and fresh. Someone worth to see. She came out in all black and as people say "Janet Jackson inspired" outfit and gave the everyone sexy moves while she sung "Motivation". She even did a dance break number and then Trey joined her for the remix and she was giving him the business. Sometimes I wonder did Kelly lose her V-card or something?? Oh yeah I forgot Beyonce's dad is no longer her manager so she going in the direction she want to go in right! lol. They did the damn thing I know that much!
Chris Brown- ::sighs:: Don't get me wrong Iam all for #TeamBreezy and yes he is very talent,but this performance didn't catch my eye at all. I have seen better from Chris Brown and this wasn't one of them. He started off with "All I want is you" and and then he did "Look At Me Know" with Busta Rhymes and it wasn't nothing special about it to me at all. It's like okay Chris Brown we seen that already...NEXT. I know what did catch my eye though that damn suit lol. Yeah alot of Chris Brown fans were defending the joint,but I think is was funny. It just caught me off guard like WTF??? All I saw was no arms and two bubbles. I was confused as shit. After he took the outfit off I finally got that the suit was an illusion to make it seem like his suit was puff up or he wanted people to know how he do that if he had no arms? I just thought it was crazy and so did most of Twitter. That is why his pants have it's own Twitter account @chrisbrownpants smh lol.
The R.I.P Segment- Another part that caught me off guard. I was lost when dude out of now where just started playing the saxophone. I was like huh??? It was so random. I didn't even know that that segment was for the people who had passed until Snoop and Warren G came out to do "Regulators". I was like ooh okay I see where this is going. I really felt that Kevin Heart or someone should have came out and said "Now let's honor those who are not here" and said who is performing what smh. I really really enjoyed Ledsi paying tribute to Teena Marie singing "Out Of The Limb". I love that song and she did a wonderful job! I didn't know the poet name,but I know Queen Latifah did a good job reciting the poem as well too!
Nicki and Justin- So this segment was suppose to be who have the most Twitter followers. It all was cool until Nicki was saying sexual things to Justin. I mean yeah Justin about to be 18,but I just thought it was very corny and like I said about the other performers sounded like a school play. Not to mention Nicki #teambarbie look like they stepped out a GoGo and her outfit look like it came from Susan Fashions.
The Five Heartbeats- That was a shocker! I was glad to see them. Everyone my age and older know about this movie it was a classic. It was cool to find out that it was the movie's 25th annviversy because last week I was thinking about buying at Walmart just to watch and sing along. On another note why did Eddie Kane look just like he did in the movie? It look like he been stuck in his character for ever lol.
Steve Harvey- Steve Harvey won the Humanitarian Award that night and all I thought about just like everyone else "Please Don't Cry" lol.
Patti Labelle- she also was horned for the Lifetime Achievement Award which is my favorite part of the show. I enjoyed this one as well next to Kelly performance. The tribute was wonderful starting off with Cee-Lo who had on a Patti Signature wig along with hairspray spraying his hair while he sung "Somebody Loves You Baby". He was getting it!! Marsha Ambrosius killed "Only You Knew" and she looked lovely as well! Last,but not least Pastor Shirley Cesar took the stage and tore the house down singing even though people was saying she looked like Glenda the Good Witch and the tooth fairy I thought she looked wonderful.
The Gospel segment- Of course everyone did a good job Mary Mary, Donnie and Detrick,but sometimes I feel like BET just put gospel in the awards for brownie points from Christans The reason I say that is because some award shows have skipped out gospel performances and categories. So when they add gospel I just be like hmmmm??? Did they run out of performers or what?
Drake ft Rick Ross and Lil Wayne- I love this song!!! I thought the performance was okay. Kind of dull just a bit,but I did dug the laser lights though that was cool. DJ "I Never Shut The Fuck Up" Khaled needed to sit down we know he represent some of today's artist,but he don't have to shout and be everywhere sheesh. It was cool at first,but now it's like okay DJ Khaled sit down. Lil Wayne like most rappers bounce around the stage they call it "Swag" I called it "tight ass pants".
Last,but not least.... Beyonce- Alot of people were mad because she was via satellite. Not me I already knew ahead of time being a Beyonce fan. I she song a new song "Best I Never Had" and some other new song. I like that Beyonce doing something different with her music. Alot people aren't feeling the international vibe and beats she doing with this CD,but my thing is if she still did song like from DL and BDAY then people will be like she doing the same shit can she do something new. I don't know,but on to her performance I thought it was BLAH it looked like the end of the performance of Run The World at the Billboard Awards with the female dancers,flags and pyro. I thought she was going to do something else. I don't know wasn't really impressed. I love Beyonce' trust me,but not that performance.
Other than that the BET awards could have done better and next year I expect better. I f I missed anything please feel free to tell me about it and I will added it in...
