K. Dot and R. Kelly for me. It’s was better than it ever has been lately. Tamela her voice was everything as well.
Ciara gave me life!! Charlies face was SNATCHED to the GAWDS!! Miguel is a BAD BAD BITCH!!!!!! That’s all I got.
I’m sooooo glad Miguel had some wings on so he could land safely had he tried it. R Kelly is one of the greatest, he can kill a remix and can adapt to whatever sound is in and still be him. I enjoyed this year *faints* EBT did better. I felt bad for Chris because the IRS must of stole his funny too. All in all I enjoyed it. 2Chainz looking like Rick James and all. Oh loved seeing Dawn Penn that’s my song.
R. Kelly!!!
CHARLIE WILSON!!!
That dude is EVERYTHING! No lip-synching, just pure unadulterated talent. After that, BET should not allow any artist on their stage that can’t bring it (I know that will NEVER happen).
Sidebar: The dude who was playing on the iPhone…two words No Excuses. That kid made it happen.
Also….
Who was the genius that allowed Meagan Goode to present the Best Gospel Award with her glorious titays on display? I’m not complaining…I’m just saying. Shout out to Mary Magdelene.
I think this show was the best Awards show yet ! Great performance for everyone. However, Chris Tucker kinda irritated me a little but he did well. Gotta support him though cause he is from the A ! Overall – Great show !
Chi-town in the house!!! R. Kellz!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved the show, wish he had a tribute because he definitely deserves one. One of the hardest working men of all genres of music. Anytime an R&B thug can turn out hits for Celine Dion and Michael Jackson???????? Chile quit playing. Thats a bad man. Everybody did well though. Next time Chris Tucker needs to find some more to talk about instead of pointing out all the celebs in the audience. Obvious he has run his course.
Cici def was best performaner
Chris Brown has hot!! R Kelly was a tease; nice seeing Indie; but did not like her singing Charlie’s song..
Pharel; Justin, Snoop & Uncle Charlie;;;;the best..
Justin amazes me…
Ciara did a good job too. luv her new song; but I wish she would stick to the hook more; and that rapping & other takes away from it..
Chris Brown, Ciara..RKelly was a tease….Pharell, Justin, Snoop & Uncle Charlie–The bes!!
I love Jamie Foxx…..because he was wearing a Trayvon Martin shirt. My heart has been so heavy after seeing Trayvon faced down on the ground after he was gun down.
Sour Note: Journalist and others took time to make a big deal of Trayvon saying "craker", they made fun of his friend and her conduct on the witness stand. What should be said about a defense attorney’s daughter that should be more articular because of her background but….. posts stupid comments on social media that has to be taken down. Lord I ask for JUSTICE for Trayvon Martin. Amen.
@Atlien-Will you be posting on any of the trail events?
K.Dot & Erykah, then Charlie and the gang were everything. They made the show.
This show was pretty good.
Ciara, I don’t know why the locals hate on you. Bay-bei, you shut that shit down last night and I live for that song you and Nikki did together.
Lamar and Ms. Badu, you worked it out.
Janelle Monae and Ms. Badu, I’m an Erykah fan to the end. She gives me a modern day Billy Holiday at every turn. Luv her. Also, now I’m a Janelle fan…
Miquel, dude, you’re just the best…
CHARLIE WILSON, CHARLIE WILSON, CHARLIE WILSON… This dude show’s the artist/singers
how it should be done. I’m sorry young people and old people who don’t want to grow old gracefully but the best vocalists came out of the the 70′s and the 80′s. Charlie showed everyone this last night.
Dana T.
they should have gave R Kelly more time … great show this year.. but what happened to Chris Tucker? He was “out of place” and “didnt make the most of his hosting opportunity” I wish they have ask Kevin Hart or hell even Katt Williams or Cedric to do the hosting. (And why was the host missing for most part of the show?)
Charlie Wilson
R kelly waz d man guyz.stop playin.luv ciara
