I’m sure you’ve heard by now that teen sensation Justin Bieber has been nominated for a 2010 BET Award for “Best New Artist.”
Justin just so happens to be White and BET just happens to stand for “Black Entertainment Television.”
All of that is irrelevant I guess because it’s not unheard of for the network to honor non-Black artists (Justin Timberlake and Eminem have each been nominated before)… but the question remains about Justin’s cross-over appeal.
Reactions vary, but BET’s Stephen Hill feels that Justin is the total package, “He makes the type of music our audience likes.“‘
[Sidebar: So does Lady GaGa but I don’t see her on the list…]
Award organizers compare Justin’s cross-over appeal to hip-hop’s integration into mainstream america: “Justin Bieber has crossed the color boundaries in the way hip-hop has the other way for a number of years.”

But I Digress…
Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel hit the streets of LA recently to ask random Black folks how they felt about Bieber’s nomination and the responses were HILARIOUS!
