    The BET awards aired last night, and unlike last year…there were no major arrests.  There were however, some major disappointments (*cough* Usher)  but I won’t focus on the negative.  What I will focus on is the great performances:Ne-Yo…Ne-Yo..Ne-Yo!   You know you did your thang!  Alicia Keys bringing out TLC, SWV and EnVogue was genius.  Maxwell…where you been man?! :shock: and you know I have to mention Jeezy, Ciara, Ludacris, Big Boi and all the A-town players just for GP!

    Check out my favorite performances after the jump and also peep BlogXilla’s play by play of the show over at Crunk&Disorderly.

     I promised that I wouldn’t say nothing bad about Usher…since everyone else already has that covered…but he coulda at least let Jeezy do his verse.  Maybe that would have made this performance a little less lack-luster.  That and some Red Bull. :-?

     Digg It! eVip It! Grind It!

      The best awards show ever!

      The performances were really good and the production was the best ever. I couldn’t even tell that it was put on by a black run organization.
      You all know what I mean.

      Ummmm Dana… Just for the record BET is run by Viacom, the same company that runs MTV and VH1. It may be called “Black Entertainment Television” but it’s definitely NOT a black run organization!
