What do you think of this year's BET AWARDS?

The show opens with Jennifer Hudson singing beautifully to "And I am Telling You", when in the middle of the song she introduced Jennifer Holiday, her original dreamgirl.

I don't what him name is, but the boxing announcer came out to intorduce Monique. "Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to JIGGA------A! Monique and her dancers came out strutting to "Deja Vu" doing splits and working dancing their butts off. You know after dancing she was going to say somthing to Beyonce, but she told her that's it, I'm not doing it no more. Then she calls out LL Cool J to take her show off which was hillarious because he took her shoe to his seat.

The first award wentout to Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" For video of the Year.

The next performance was TI showing a brief video montage of his alterego TIP conversating with one another. Big Things POPPin had people dancing, "do it do it do it, numerous time. (i like that part of the song.)

The second award went to Gnarls Barkley for CRAZY.

Ne-Yo perfomed "Because of you" and "You make me better with F-A_B_U-LOUS.

Forest Whitaker Won the Best actor award.

Mr. Unforgiven himsself performed "Last Night" with Ms. Cole who was belting out really good and Lil" KIM did a surprise cameo. In the perfromance the camera wenton Flava Flav and he looked bizzare with a big gold crown, sky blue blazer, and his clock.

Jennifer Hudson won the next award for best actress.

Finally it B's turn to perform. She was on stage in a Michael Jackson Like robot outfit that came apart to show her true outfit and performed "Get me bodied". She intorduced Kelly to perform her song, and at the end b', michelle, kelly, and solange jumped outof these platforms and danced.

TI won the next award for Best hip hop artist. What was he apologizing for? (can anyone tell me).

Robin Thicke performed "Lost without you"

The audience stood to their feet for the all-star tribute to Gerald Levert. It was truly amazing to see his father, yolanda admas, i think gladis and patti Labelle sing "wind beneath my wings". I truly miss seeing singers like this. It was very emotional, I miss Gerald.

What was funny was when Toacarra was talking, the straps on her dress fell off he shoulders and the crowd started.

For the Diana Ross Tribute it was good, but I wished she performed.

Ciara's perfomance was good, I'm still trying to figure out how does she do that move.

Hey Share COMMENTS. SEE YOU LATER!!

Hey Candice, thanks for the info, I have not watched the awards show, no pun intended, just have not been getting to t.v. much lately except news and information type shows etc.
Just wanted to add my 2cents in Sis, I know some good music is being made out there and then...
But I do love music.
So what I missed I can read here.
Is this Ms. 'Toacarra' pretty? Lol!
Craig you funny Bro, Lol! Is that really a song?

Yes I agree, I thought that Diana Ross should have performed. I realized that her son is in the acting business. The sound system was horrible. Is Neyo a studio artist along with that Thicke character? Was Jay-Z and Beyonce mad or was it Dad and Daughter day out? Now you now that the tribute to Gerald was personally beautiful. A pure tear jerker and the ensemble of voices and family made it all the more phenomenal. I believe that was the best part of the show. Was Monique not feeling to well? The girl is still a sensation fo rthe full figured lady and her hair dresser is getting paid just as much as JOhn Edwards for keeping her together. Jennifer Holiday needs some real recognition for giving the little girl some status. A few weeks ago she was acting like Ms. Holiday was washed up and that she was the bomb on her on, especially on a remake. Is she coming out with something original? Beyonce - The Next Transformer!!!!!!! That outfit was very futuristic. She is one of only a few who could have pulled that off well except for Michael Jackson who would have worked it and maybe Missy.
