:
al green MEMPHIS TENNESEE stand up baby. jill was the *** as always, @everybodys_fav, u took tha words right outta my mouth, there is no other word to describe maxwell with his fine *** but brilliant...rihanna is growing on me as an artist, i love that song she did....keyshia's attire was cute, I loved that dress part...performance was sucky, seemed last min....usher is on fire.
I am sorry, but Keyshia performance wasn't great; Usher's performance was hot, but what's with the lip syncing; Neyo was aight; Chris Breezy was hot as usual; RhiRhi was flawless...it was cute to watch them both get into each others' perfomances. WEEZY was hilarious, the little jestures while performing are so funny.
I think performance wise (as a whole), this was the best BET awards yet. Usher was not hot at all, he lip-synched and was entirely too stiff. I was bored. Ne-Yo is always hot to me. He did a great job last *** and didn't even seem to break a sweat, plus he sounds good live. Keyshia did not sound as good live (until the end) but she seemed to work the stage very well. Chris Brown and Ciara were hot. T-Pain was hot too cuz he did some of my favorite songs that featured him. I love Ludacris on that remix. Maxwell sounded GREAT! He gave me goosebumps. Al Green tore the show down. The show was pretty good, good job corny as.s BET
Keyshia Cole was whack! That is what she gets she was down here in Atlanta for the car show and she acted so *** stank and nasty that they even talked about it on the radio because her fans were actually coming up to radio host asking what was wrong with her so that wasn't nothing but karma! The tribute to AL Green was hot those are REAL SINGERS! I loved T-Pain's performance because he is funny and gives a good show. WEEZY BABY DID HIS THANG BOO! Also Nelly with that sexy *** body. Is it me or did Ashanti sound stupid talking about she got that "good, good"! Girl everybody knows that he is with you stop making stupid *** comments have a lil more class. Say what you wanna say about Ciara but that chile can dance her *** off! Ooh one last thing was i the only that thought kanye sounded horrible with jeezy?
LOL! Rhi did sound HORRIBLE as well as Keisha Cole...Lil KIm looked cute but I hate that lace she was weraing...she need to stick to black hair!Ne-Yo Definietly gave Usher a RUN for his money he did the *** thang...I LOVED LOVED LOVED Al Green's performance! A.*** Tore the house DOWN with the girl groups T-Boz Sounded DREADFUL...And Weezy F rocked it. OOOOH And Maxwell OFF THE HOOK!
@prince....That is so true. Ne-Yo's performance was the best besides Al Green. Even my mama (who is 55) called me and said, "Hey Nickanaydeez (my nickname), I was flipping the channels and I saw that boy...errr what's his name? Negro? Nah yo? Who? Oh Ne-Yo...I liked him. He's a good dancer and I loved the suit he had on....that's how your daddy (R.I.P.) used to dress". She was thoroughly entertained!
STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!! First of all Lil Kim looks like a transexual that went all the way, Keyshia Cole looked awful and sounded terrible, dunno what ya'll was listening to, and Rihanna was one of the betta live performers vocally though there wasn't much to her performance it was still one of the betta ones. BIG UPS to the Jabbawockeez, luv them, and Ne-Yo definitely held his own, Chris Brown knew he had to step it up but fell up under Ne-Yo.....
atlsfinest, I TOTALLY agree about the Ashanti comment! WTF did she even mean trying to come out and say that she was going to perform a song from her new CD but she got that "Good Good" so Nelly got something else for us? She is annoying as hell, could not walk in her shoes, and I wish she stops with that stupid *** laugh at the end of every sentence! Neyo is making me like him more and more, his dancing killed it and he wasnt out of breath, Usher might was well ahve sent in a a video tape of a earlier performance of his because everything from his dancing to his tight *** shoulder padded jacket/pants looked LAME and DONE ALREADY! Poor Ush, Chris and Neyo took your spot! I loved the Al Green performance, loved A Keys bringing out the older R&B ladies, poor Keyshia needs to just stand the hell still on stage and sing because she always sounds out of breath, Lil Kim needs to keep that horrible plastic stomach covered the hell up because its looks like a pice of leather pasted on her midsection, not to mention her unrecognizable face! SMH! And although I was not previously a huge fan of Rihanna's music (but love her fashion sense) I think she sang her song REALLY nice and it was a nice simple hot performance with kinf of an R&B/rick twist. She sounded just like the recording. Chris B is the new king of R&B, and loved his new haircut! I think TPain is funny as hell and love his music but he stretched out his slow-motion joke a little too long! LOL And I am glad Ciara came out to do what she does best DANCE! She killed it with Chris Brown!
Maxwell was exceptional. he still got it. when is he coming back out.
Keyshia looked cute and I didn't know lil Kim was that ***. she small as hell. she look like a troll. they rocked tho.
C i agree if Beyonce was there to do the remix on Usher song it would have been better. I think they had the lights too bright on him. so it made his moves look superficial. they should have dimmed the lights.
Neyo killed it.
In the, King of R & B Category: NE-YO wins Hands down!! He tore that stage apart and set it on FIYAAHHHHHH. He sang live and in my opinion sang well, danced, flipped all while looking great and had the nerve to bring out the jabbawockies, winners of America's Best Dance Crew. I was FULLY entertained and would pay my hard earned money to see NE-YO live! He writes, produces, acts and sings and dance...BOW DOWN!
Last and least, Usher. You have the nerve to lip sing when you got NE-YO and Chris Brown coming for your crown??? When you were with Chilli, you were on top of your game. Hell, when you broke up with her you were on top of your game. She may have been your mojo, you might wanna rekindle an old flame. Wait, you already have an old something, called your wife....Get it together cause you are off the radar in my opinion.
In the, You looked great, but didn't sound good category: Keisha Cole, you looked FAB girl, and those squats/*** pads are working for ya but you reminded me of me and my girls at the club, just having fun trying to do what we see in the video and not taking your performance seriously. However, you were having fun, but make sure your viewers are too. Lil Kim, your my girl, but didn't you wear that same outfit when you Diddy, and Keisha performed Last *** last yr @ the BET awards??? I'm just saying. Oh, and Keisha, please buy your sister a dress and or bra that fits her and keep your ghetto momma off the TV and defiantly off the mic. HOLLA
Maxwell, I LOVE YOU! We have been together for years in my head and I don't care that you cut all your beautiful hair off, for me to see and hear you last ***, I could have died a happy women. Talking about you now has me all...never mind. I'm still rocking Ascension, Cops come knocking, Welcome, Let's not play the game, etc in my iPod on a daily basis. Hopefully, this means your back for good cause just like I did in 2001, I will say F*ck paying Con-ed, I'm buying a ticket to a Maxwell concert! I HEART MAEXWELL.
Rihanna, you look and sound good, but I'm just over you at this point.
In the, It's about time some real music hit the stage category: Al Green, I love you! I felt like I was at a BBQ/Family reunion with a plate of smothered fried chicken, collard greens, yams and Mac & cheese, watching the family get down with the get down. It was great! Anyone who knows me, know I' love me some Al green and he stay in heavy rotation in my iPod. Youngins, show that man some F*cking respect!
Best BET awards ever.
Maybe it was just me, but I felt like that Volume was down on Keyshia Cole's Mike, while the Audio was so high, that you could barely hear her. and if u did hear her it was not Good. Lil Kim made it better.
I loved Alica Key's performance, cause it was even better when she brought out en vogue, swv and tlc.
Al Green had everybody at the awards on their feet and rocking. Best performance of the ***.
I could barely understand Lil Wayne, I dont like mumbling.
Loved Nellys Performance. I was really good. Loved Ny-yo's performance.
I didn't even realize that was ciara dancing with Chris Brown.
Ok...Keisha cole..why the hell she always wear white??? and that thing she had on for heaven sent was soo ugly...the best part about neyo was the Jabbawockeez and the ending...Usher..im so disappointed how the hell you gone lip sing and then your dancing sucks..he's definately falling off big time..shoulda never got married *** and what the hell was that cafe ***???..oh my god and yall see him belly!!! Rihanna loocked fcuking ridiculous i swore she was gone tear that thing off,but it was a dress..she should be the one taking a bow from her career..Jill scott..what the hell was up with that dress and her edges..and al Green..you rockEd!!!
Usher needs to retire. You got acts out like Chris Brown and Neyo and you lip synching. I love Keyshia Cole but her vocals were not on point last ***. I love Rihanna, and she did sound just like the record. Her vocals had to grow on me at first. She has a different kind of sound-that is what makes her a super star. Neyo-flawless. Was it just me or did T boz sound horrible. Still love u though. Al green still got it. Ciara that girl's body don't make any sense.
Im sorry Usher sucked for a minute I thought he fell cause when he sat down on that platform I said "Did he mean to do that?" anyway Rihanna was aight, Keisha aight in my opinion when Rev Al Green turned the whole show out! and when Alicia brought out SWV, En Vogue AND TLC I was like ok BET trying to do a little something!
I think that everyone did great except for Keyshia Cole and Rihanna. I love them both, but Rihanna was too hard on my ears, she should've lip singed. I love Keyshia, so this hurts my heart, but those dances was doo doo, and I don't want to see them again unless she actually learns to dance, and her singing was so off key, it was horrible.
@MrB3easy, somehow I agree with you. I don't think Usher did bad, but he definately fell off. I hope he gets his swagga back, I like him.
I would have to say that this years BET awards were the best performance wise! Almost everyone did their thing!
Usher= BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! How do u start off the show lip-synching?? His dance moves looked like something he did be4..I was expecting a lot from him and to me he came up ***.
NEYO *** ALICIA KEYS= BEST PERFORMANCES OF THE ***! Neyo was soooo good! He's always the underdog in the male r&b category and to me, he KILLED his competitors. He danced well and sang great live! Alicia killed it! Bringing those groups out was genius...I think I almost died when I saw Envogue! It was a great performance.
Al Green was the definition of a legend. Marvin Sapp was spectacular! Keyshia was keyshia..LOL, Chris Brown did his thing, I loved when Ciara came out, but I thought it should have been longer. Rhianna was nice and simple, Nelly was good, kanye was great...WEEZY KILLED IT!!! I loooove "a millie", so I was very excited to see him perform it.
THIS AWARD SHOW WAS HOT! Besides Usher lip syching...He knows better...
Alicia Keys was one of the best performances of the *** in my opinion.Keyshia love you girl but get that attitude together and maybe God will turn things around for you.I dont think you have got it yet that you are NOTHING without your FANS...Needless to say you didnt sound so hot..You are gonna have to do like Mary J. Get to working with a voice coach..I love Ri-Ri But is it just me or does she look like Prince in a dress!!! Holla
I think Rihanna sounded nice, maybe cuz I'm a fan. As much as I wanted to, I wasn't feelin Keyshia Cole's performance at first. The sound of the mic was all jacked up. But she stepped it up when she started gettin her Mary J. Blige on! She gave a great performance. I was feelin Ne-yo's performance too. Question, can anybody confirm whether that was the Jabbawockeez or not that was performing with him towards the end? Usher's performance was nauseating.
WELL I LEFT A LIL AFTER 10 PM I HAD TO GO GET MY MAN LMAO..
BEST PERFORMANCES 1. NE-YO HE IS SO UNDER-ESTIMATED AS A COMPLETE ARTIST. SURE HE'S AN EXCELLENT SONG WRITER BUT HE HAS AN AMAZING VOICE AND YES HE OUT DID EVEN CHRIS LAST ***
2. ALICIA WE ALL KNOW WHY. I GOT TEARY EYED SEEING SWV OMG ARE YOU FOR REAL LOL..ALICIA USUALLY PUTS ME TO SLEEP BUT LAST *** I HAD TO STAND UP LOL!
3. T-PAIN WAS COOL I JUST WAS PUMPED ABOUT SEEING LUDACRIS LMAO.....
(MAD I DIDN'T GET TO SEE WHEEZY)
4. MARVIN SAPP YES YA'LL HE RIPPED IT!
OTHERS
CHRIS BROWN WAS IIGHT BUT HE NEEDS TO STEP UP HIS GAME A LITTLE MORE...I LIKED WHEN CIARA CAME OUT EVEN THOUGH I DON'T LIKE HER. THE PERFORMANCE COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER.
EVERYBODY ELSE WOW! KEYSHIA SOUNDED A MESS KIM WAS STRAIGHT BUT SHE NEEDS TO DROPPED THAT ALBUM
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT USHER- COME ON!!!!!!!!! LIP-syching WOW! AND THE DANCES WERE SO UMMMM SEEN THEM BEFORE! USHER JUST GO AND SIT ON YOUR PORCH AND WRITE A BOOK!
I thought rhianna sounded pretty good a little nasaly but ok, i love keyshia c but she sounded a lil winded. I thought usher did ok. Jill s. the shoes were hot the dress not but she blew that dam song. Al green rocked it took you back to happy times. Neyo mmmmmm i don't have much to say i fowarded his performance. Lil kim was ok but she was having wardrobe malfunctions. The show was good it deserves a hand clap all in all.
Rhianna act like she can't open her mouth when she sings and her outfit was dreadful. Keyshia and Kim rocked it. Kim got that tummy tucked and she looked great. Keyshia dropped and almost hit the floor. She just needs to do the Mary J. Blige throw your hands in the air and rock side to side. I love the Al green tribute and the man can sing his *** off. Gotta go get all his CD's...I love him.
LAST *** WAS THE BEST RIHANNA EVER SOUNDED. KEYSHIA AND KIM DID THEIR THING. NE-YO AND MY BOYZ JABBAWOCKEEZ(THE BOYS WITH THE MASKS AT THE END) KILLED IT. REV GREEN DID A GOOD JOB BUT I REALLY WANTED TO HEAR HIM SING MORE INSTEAD OF BEING HIS OWN HYPE MAN AND LETTING THE AUDIENCE SING THE ENTIRE SONG. BUT OVERALL HE DID GREAT TOO,
NE-YO(PERFORMANCE WAS GRAND BUT HOMEBOY GOTTA LIL SUGAR IN HIS TANK....MAYBE ALOT).....USHER(BAD, FOR AN OPENING ACT AND THEN HE LIP-SYNCHED TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE).....RIHANNA(SHE DID GREAT BUT THE BLACK DRESS WAS'NT A GOOD LOOK)KEYSHIA COLE(WHERE TO BEGIN?....HER MOMA & SISTER WERE THERE TO FIND A MAN W/ MONEY THAT WAS CLEAR TO SEE, KEYSHIA DID BAD, SHE TRIED TO START OFF LET IT GO BY RAPPING MISSY'S PART AND GOT CAUGHT UP...HER DANCING WAS NOT GOOD, THEN SHE RAN OUTTA BREATH AND LIL KIM CAME TO DA RESCUE BUT KIM'S *** KEPT FALLING EXPOSING HER BRA STRAP SO SHE TRIED TO HIDE BEHIND KEYSHIA WHICH DID'NT MAKE IT ANY BETTER.....)AL GREEN(HE WAS HOTTA THAN FISH GREASE NOT ALICIA KEYS....HE DID HIS THANG AND STILL SOUND THE SAME........)
Rhianna's performance was good,but very boring.She should have performed please dont stop the music. But Rhi Rhi can I have that dress plz? Keisha Cole messed up a bit,but pulled it together,plus she looked cute. Lil kim did good too,but she figited with her belt too much which made her look ucomfortable on stage. Neyo did great and sounded good. Jill Scott sounded great, but her dress made her look bigger than what she is. The reverend Al Green is the man,and everybody apreciated his music. Now to Usher. He lost some credibility by lip singing the whole dam song. I guess he cant dance and sing at the same time anymore. He does not do it for me anymore. His moves are not as crisp as they used to be. Plus leaving jeezy off the perfomance did not help.
al green ki[SPAM]ed it ... he showed all them young bucks in there how to work a venue.... Ne-Yo did his thing.. 2nd best of the ***... Ri Ri looked and sound good. Jilly from philly amazing simply amazing.... chris brown and ciara wass aight .... I was expecting more .... Usher is a discrace and is wack .... He looked constipated the whole way thru ... that flip he did looked like it hurted ..., he got a lil bounce when he landed .. lmao dummy .... lip syncing thats a no no .. when the ne-yo's and chris browns is also on stage... *** he wass daning like he had syrup on the bottom of his shoe.... none of his moves was flowing freely .... oh well ... URSHA your done .... give it up .... but it was a nice show... lol ..
how the freakum dress do you open up an award show and not make it Official...Usher did not do as well as he should...then Kieysha Cole was a mess on stage when she started dancing....lmfao...thank God for Ne-Yo and Alicia Keys for savin the BET awards from disgrace...oh and Rihanna is trying to make people take her singing seriously...but she did sound good though...and big ups to Ciara for making Chris Brown's peformance hot...at the end of it all...Beyonce should have done something to help this year's BET awards she could have done the remix with Usher and made everything hot
okay i've been reading everyone's comments and i have to agree about keyshia cole's performance..she is one of my favorite singers but she did horribly..how she gonna dance off 'Heaven Sent'?? puhleez! she kinda did better once she sang 'Shoulda Let U Go' but it was still a mess...I think Usher did good even tho he wasnt' really singing..He looked good and its good to see him perform again..T Boz looked high and sounded aweful..Chili shoulda been singing because T Boz looked tired and she looked a little crazy...and about Ashanti's comment about her having that'good good', girl boo...i'm sure she does but we dont give a *** about whats in between her legs...I like her personality but that comment was uncalled for..Chris Brown did really good and its something about Ciara I just can't stand..She just looks so hard to me, there is nothing soft about her but she's a talented dancer and I can't knock her for that...Rihanna looked great but the song was boring but whatever...Maxwell....no words for that fine brotha..he can sing me right outta my panties..he's too smooth...Ne-Yo did good but i think people underestimate him.....and why does Lil Kim continue to jump from backstage outta nowhere during performances?? Why doesn't she come out with an album and her own songs? Even though she has ruined her looks completely at least she one of the realest female rappers out there(I've had enough of Trina's stank ***)...and Nelly is so *** fine, i love that man
Lets run down the list of pics: I love ***. Cole with black hair, and I love her look. Normally, I can't tolerate too many tattoos, but I still love her look.
Lil' Kim needs to make up her mind what she wants to do with her hair color, skin color, EVERYTHING.
Ne-Yo...he urks me. 'Nuff said.
Usher looks good with age, he's not as "extra" as he used to be. He used to try so hard to be sexy until he just looked corny. But I'm sorry to say, he's a little overrated to me. He made some good music, but it's almost time for him to just stop.
Rihanna deserves no more comments from me. She drains me.
I will always love Jill Scott's look because it has always been original. No one said anything when she brought the natural look back for black females. She rocked out with a fro when she first came out. Next thing you know, almost everyone stopped getting perms, and started rockin' the twists and fro's. Her look is original to me. No, it's not something that I would consider doing, but that look fits her and her style. So MTO, you asked what look is she going for? She's going for her OWN look which compliments her style. She's not going for the look that almost every black female in America is going for, which is the model look (weaves, eyelashes, tight clothes, etc.). So I personally like this look on her.
Al Green......oh what can I say about Al.......
Love her but Keyshia Keyshia Keyshia that performance was a hot mess, She performed like an amateur and her voice was off key.The only part that was good was Lil Kim. And Usher's performance put me to sleep it was sooooo boring and very forgettable. From this point on , he needs to stay home with his wife and son,and do the family thing. Just retire. Everybobdy else GREAT JOB! Miss Keys made me sooo proud with her performance and brought back good memories...SWV, EnVouge and TLC ...Wonderful ...Keyshia ...Take Notes.
RIHANNA WAS BORING. I LOVE HER STYLE BUT HER *** NEEDS 2 PICK IT UP WHEN PERFORMING CUZ I TURNED THAT MESS OFF.
KEYSHIA COLE & FAMILY BETTA B GLAD THERE IS A BET AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHERS CUZ I SAW A BUNCH OF NO CLASS HAVING B@*** ON THAT SHOW. AND HER PERFORMANCE WAS WACK AND SHE CANT DANCE.
USHER.... WHHYY USHER? WHY WOULD YOU LIP SYNC? AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT I COULD HAVE DID HIS MOVES MYSELF. I WAS THINKING SO HE LIP SYNCING HE ABOUT 2 TURN IT UP. I SHOULD HAVE TURNED THAT OFF TOO.
yeah, i agree w/TCE... a lot of the performances were horrible sounding because of the sound crew. Rihanna sounded good at the beginning of her song...
did anyone notice how the guy came way too early to pull keyshia's dress away??? and he was standing there for like 10 seconds! lmao. what are you doing mister?!?!?! rip the *** dress off already!
ne-yo's performance was dope. it should have been the opening performance.
I wasn't feeling Usher's performance whatsover. Look like he is doing the whop on that pic. The child may been *** from seeing Ciara all over her man. @javonte:lmao, the guy stood there for 10 seconds like a fool. Wait I have to watch that again ***. What is Jill Scott doing??? Like she got on her house dress. Like she pick greens in that ugly getup.
A FEW COMMENTS ON THE SHOW
USHER --OK
NE-YO---OK
KEYSHIA--TATTOO just makes her look NASTY
Ms KEYES---HIPS LOOK RIGHT, CAN'T sing worth a ***. Folks confuse a good SINGALONG SONG, with a GOOD SINGER...2 different things. STRAININ A$$ More Gut and *** with SWV and MAX from ENVOGUE. The fabric on dem dress were working O.T

NELLIE----we get it...leave your *** ON
KANYE---please get OVER yourself already..JEEZ
WEEZY----waay too WACK to close the show...WACK. UGLY A$$ RAT!!!
There's more but it was an OK show
Okay, yall are hating on Rihanna...I think she did a fabulous job even tho her accent was trying to come thru. As far as Keyshia..she did HORRIBLE! Usher's performance was hott..lip singig or not. Neyo...liked it, but LOVED the ending! Al Green did the best, but he's old now shucks. I didn't even pay Jill Scott any attention...I actually forgot she did a little something!
....i didnt like ushers performace that much
Keisha sounded nervous but i guess if i was at the top of the pedestal i would be too lol she did come in on the wrong part of the 2nd song she played it off well i guess..* where was Missy?*(i guess her the Dream and Kobe are 2 good 4 BET?)lol anyways back 2 keisha was that a baby bump? hmmm? her belly has always been really flat...
...marvin sapps performace was touching i love that song
...didnt like Nelly's performace but loved the body lol..y did Ashanti say she had that good! good!.. girl boo!
...o yea Cuba was tryin 2 hard he was corny as hell! ...i didnt like Neyo too many sound effects lol plus i had seen that before from MJ
...loved rihanna! she was great!
i went off when SWV came out then I went crazy when En vogue performed...TLC i just sat there sorry ;o(
...saw Chris brezzy singing along with his girl how cute! his performance was nice 2 but i loved the water curtian in the back ground lol
..lil wayne is growing on me his performance was great didnt like "lollipop" coz i thought T-pain messed it up but loved Milli i love that song!
...i liked the 1st song that kanye did but he cursed so much i couldnt hear any of the words
over all it was a good ***!
cNinja Flag post KEYSHIA COLE SANG LIKE A GOAT WITH BRONCHITUS....I THINK HER BITTERNESS/SADNESS COMES OUT IN HER VOICE IN AN INHARMONIC WAY WHEN SHE PERFORMS LIVE....TRAGIC --------------- LEARN TO SPELL YOU HORMONE-INJECTED BUTTERFACE! IT IS "BRONCHITIS" AND INHATMONIC ISN'T EVEN A *** WORD! GO CRACK A BOOK WITH YOUR DUMB UGLY AZZ!
CHRIS AND CIARA WERE GREAT, SO WAS KEYSHIA. I REALLY LIKED NE-YO'S PERFORMANCE, THO, AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE HIS MUSIC. HE KILLED USHER'S LIP-SYNCING AZZ. HAHA! HE DANCED BETTER AND SANG LIVE! BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE *** IS A TIE BETWEEN CHRIS AND CIARA OR NE-YO.
Chris Brown Ciara, Neyo, Alicia Keys, Al Green, Nelly, Lil Wayne all did good to me. Rhianna sound good however she need to work on her stage performance, what she did would be okay at an white award show but when you perform in front of our people, you have to put on a show. She is still young she will eventually get it. Keshia Cole sound a hot mess, Lil Kim saved her show. Young Jeezy and Kanye performance was boring to me. Usher seem like he had other things on his mind. Some of the same dance routines I've seen in the past. Alot people say T-pain can not sing but I think he has a voice, but he is more so an entertainer then anything.
"A GOOD singer can sing with or without a loud microphone." I would not want to spend my hard earned money on someone who SCREAMS a song. Therefore I have this to say in reference to
ALICIA KEYS-I have so much respect for you after last ***. I was absolutely amazed. I appreciate you for giving props to EN VOGUE (wish you would drop another album and show these wanna B's how it's really done), TLC (it was sad seeing you without my girl Left Eye, but you still represented), and SWV (not the best back then but I still loved your music).
KEYSHIA-I like most of your songs (if they were sung by someone else) and your style but you should consider getting a vocal trainer. I'm sure you think your voice is going somewhere but "AT THE END OF THE DAY" you sound horrible. Where did you think that last note you hit was going. It didn't even match with the song. Tell you trainer to teach you some breathing tecniques. Be glad my girl KIM came to your rescue last ***. Also, it was nice to see your MOM and SISTER but tell them to stay in the cut next time. MOVING ON TO
RIHANNA-I still think she is OVERATED and that she should get out of the busines of SINGING. She sounded like a CHOCKED DUCK. However she is a beautiful young lady and she got my respect last *** because that is the best I've ever heard her sing. She sounded better than KEYSHIA.
CHRIS BROWN/CIARA-WAS LAST *** BEST PERFORMANCE. NEY-YO-2ND BEST ASHANTI-Needed to sit her NON-SINGING AZZ down and stop sweatin NELLY.
AND NOW A WORD FOR THOSE WHO CAN ACTUALLY BLOW My girl JILL SCOT did the dame thing as expected. Mr. SAP stole the show. I love his voice and LAST BUT NOT LEAST--REV. AL GREEN-What can I say...you are the reason most of us are here today. I know my mom and dad got busy off of your music. LOVE YA. You will never be forgotten.
Yall always got something 2 say about Rihanna. She sounded good and she was CLASSY!! WHICH IS WHAT THIS AWARD SHOW WAS MISSING.
THIS WAS HOWEVER THE WORST BET AWARDS SHOW EVER!!
Usher lip syncing I don't understand he really lost it. NEYO KILLED USHER IN EVERY WAY.
Ciara whatever. SHE LOOKED LIKE A HOE ALL ***. Janet really should have did her little dance BS.
Keyshia Cole was the worst. And everybody wanna say Rihanna can't sing live. LOOK AT KEYSHIA AND THIS IS EVERY YEAR. She was horrible.
Nelly looked to ghetto and he needed to PULL HIS *** PANTS UP. And Ashanti was a little too happy and that "good good" comment was way to ghetto. So yeah they belong together. Maybe next year will be better cuz that was horrible.
best: Al Green Alica Keys & the throwback artist(TLC, SWV, Envouge) Ciara & Chris Brown (the last part of the performance...wow) maxwell..ain't seen him in ages ne-yo
everybody else was ok
worst: Rihanna (boooring, fell asleep on her) keyshia cole (Love her, but can't dance... should have left all the dancing to the dancers)
Im sorry Keyisha was not good at end but begining it was... GHETTO MESS!!! Rihanna was nice but BORING!!! Weezy T pain Usher CIARA *** CHRIS BROWN and Ms A Keys and her set OH WEE!! That set if off those performances... def. best of *** But Usher lip synch tho but still lol gotta love him! Wish Chris Brown and CIARA dance MORE together looked so GOOD!!! *** Rihanna def hated it lol
I agree with most of the comments...Al Green did the darn thang and Chris Breezy adn Ciara danced their butts off...I've always thought they should've collaborated on a routine...i'm a huge Keysha Cole fan but this is the second sub par performance from her...I'm not sure if it's a financcial situation for why she can't afford to have more to her stage show...it was whack and her voice was litterally off key at some points...I was heartbroken over that cuz I like her voice on a cd just fine...Alicia Keys did her thang and when SWV, Envogue nad TLC came out I almost lost my mind.....I loved the circus theme from T pain too...that's what people need to do show me a show Keysha should take note.
I think Keyshia still needs more vocal coaching when she performs on stage...still seems to have stagefright at times. Loved her outfit...and the girl's figure is INSANE! WORK IT KEISH!
As much as I love Ms. Jill Scott...her dress looked like a rotten banana. Was not feeling it at all. But her voice is untouchable.
Actually I didn't pay much attention to Rihanna's performance which means it must of been forgettable.
EnVogue stole the show though....did yall see Alicia tried to sing Cindy's part and Cindy was like "Boo I got this" and crushed her on that part by singing over Alicia.....BIG UPS TO MY OAKLANDERS!! EN VOGUE! Tell em girlz...... "YA NEVAH GONNA GET IT!"
I'm worried about T-Boz though...she really looked like she didn't feel well at all....speaking from experience sickle cell ain't no joke....Love ya Tionne....get well my sister.
Unfortunately, Usher just did not deliver. When artists lip synch, it takes away from their performances. He should have brought out T.I. or one of the many other people on his remixes for that song.
Jeezy was nice!
Keisha looked beautiful, but sounded like a wreck. That is the second time I have seen her perform badly at an award show and I am starting to wonder is she strictly a studio singer. Her songs are great, but in my opinion it just doesn't work live. Did Lil Kim have some more surgery? She just looked different, again.
The tribute to Al Green was hot, especially Maxwell's performance. It was so nice to see him, but I have to say Al Green and Alicia Key's performances stole the show.
Oh, I almost forgot about Rihanna. She looked beautiful and sounded pretty good, but her stage performance was like watching paint dry.
Weezy's performance seemed like it was missing something, I don't know but I just thought it would have been a lot more hype. BET would have done better to end with the T-Pain group performance. I love you Rick Ross!!
Congratulations to Quincy and Al!
Overall a decent show, but still a work in progress.
Y'all can keep hating on Rihanna but she sound just like the record. She was one of the best performance last ***. Her style is banging because she always go away from what others are doing. MTO STOP HATING, IF THE ***#*NG GIRL HER PROPS. I don't care what u guys say but Chris Brown did his thing as usual and he was singing and all...Ciara was hot too. Ne-Yo tried to step his game up but his voice was not so hot, his performance was better than what i am use to. Usher was just usher...nothing exciting about what he did.
Exactly, I think Rihanna was one of the best vocalist of the ***. She sounded great, ya'll just hatin for real. The sound for almost everybody was very jacked up though. I think Ne-Yo had the best perfomance all around. I went to sleep by the time Lil Wayne got up there, but I heard he was good too.
Keyshia's Performance wasn't good to me. She's sounded strained. And her crack-head mama.. ***!!
The Jabawoceez (or however the hell you spell it) are my boys! That was the only thing I enjoyed about Ne-Yo's performance. I was glad to see them. His song is so ***...lol
Rihanna was boring, but that wasn't her worst performance. She actually didn't sound too bad at all. Unless you just dislike her voice
I love Jill. She's a radiant light :-)
I have heard Rhianna when she sounded bad-she did pretty good during her performance.
Chris Brown and Ciara-h h HOT!
Usher sucked! How the hell are you gonna pull a white girl move and lip sync. I agree his performance was UN INSPIRING.
Keshia Cole-what the heck happened? She was Horrible with a capital H!! She couldn't even hold a note at times and had to stop. Ugh she made me tired and I usually like her.
First and foremost, the comment by Ashanti was related to a single on her album. She was being sarcastic, some of you people take *** too serious. Get off the girl's ***.
Now for performance Usher= Lackluster Keyshia= Was dreadful Rihanna = maintainable singing wise but the performance was dead chris brown= initially by himself was boring chris brown and ciara= was hot Al Green= Best performance Maxwell= Great performance Alicia Keys= Good performance when she brought out the 90's ladies, prior to that it was corny Ne-Yo= Great performance Nelly= Good performance, the mike was on and off Lil Weasal = was hard to understand and i couldn't see the hype T-pain = good performance, interesting settings, loved when Big Boi, Luda and Kanye came out. Jill Scott= Good performance, some one needs to fire her stylist
I AM A FAN OF KEYSHIA , BUT THE NOTES WERE ALL OFF. LOL. RIHANNA DID GOOD, BUT SHE SHOULD HAVE SONG "PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MUSIC" OR SOMETHING WITH A FAST BEAT...ZZZZZ. I LIKE THE SONG, BUT EVERYONE ELSE WAS KRUNK AND SHE WASN'T...USHER MY HAVE LIP SYNCED, BUT HE SURE DANCED GREAT.....GET EM USHER....HE'S BACK.....
JILL THE OUTFIT DIDN'T COMPLIMENT YOUR FIGURE AND NEYO WAS GREAT!
I agree with most here, Keyshia's performance was not great. NeYo was GREAT! and so were his dancers! loved Alicia and her performance! Al Green I have most of his CD's and will have to pop them in..love his music!! Jill Scott love her voice just not the outfit. Ashanti, she seems so full of herself and I do not like her. She was dressed nice but why did she keep pulling up her dress like that? if she wanted to wear a *** dress then why didnt she? who wears a long gown like that and keeps pulling it up very high like that? Kanye West is another performer who irks me. His speeches are a crock. He toots his own horn way too much for me. Sorry he lost his mom but he needs to learn the meaning of humble. Loved Marvin Sap's performance as well. I kinda liked Rhianna's performance and her voice. I think she's so pretty. Didnt get half the so called jokes in presentations either. Quincy Jones has had a very long career and done much. Cuba Gooding jr, WTH was he saying? he was trying way too hard to "act" like he was down and we know he's not. He was downright ignorant & I hope they never invite him back again.
USHER NEEDED Beyonce & Lil Wayne to help him out!!
KEYSHIA COLE was saved by LIL KIM! *shocked*
ALICIA & CREW made me cringe & cover my mouth in shock SEVERAL times. My cousin said she thinks everyone lost their ear pieces and couldn't hear themselves for the ENTIRE ***. I AGREE!!
NE-YO sounded a HOT MESS!!! And we laughed at his dance "moves" LOL!! That roll over was phenomenal!! Although my 1 yr old nephew does it daily.
CHRIS BROWN performance was SAVED by CIARA. Although they could have did wayyyyyy more with the time they had... I was still very impressed with that ending.
RIYONCE sounded a HOT MESS! And those faces!! LOL... WHY??? AND LOLOLOL @ the audience lookin' bored $h1tless!! Some dude was checkin' his text msgs while Chris was lookin' around singin' all happy like... what??? yall don't like this???? LOLOLOL!!
Maxwell looks like a "new" artist. I kinda enjoyed him
AL GREEN was FANTASTIC!!!
LIL WAYNE really THINKS he's a rockstar!??!
T Pain is sooo country :-) but I like some of his music
I still can't find Jill Scott & Anthony Hamilton's performance... dis some ***$h1t!
***'s TOP and BOTTOM(no pun intended :-)) BET performances:
MY TOP PERFORMANCE PICKS:**my favorite catagorie of course...lmaooooo*****
1 Nelly, Ciara, JD, and Fergie killed it! OMG, that was the best performance of the ***. 2.Rihanna...I dont like her, but she actually sounded good. 3.EnVogue-they still look great after all these years.
MY BOTTOM PERFORMANCE PICKS:
1. Keisha Cole-omg, she was off tune and pitch. She sounded horrible 2. Lil Kim-im still trying to figure out her talent???? 3. Usher- he just done got fat. Brotha had a gut and needs to stay away from the collards.
There you have it folks!!!!!
Rhianna better start performing and stop always trying to look so *** cute (we know she is attractive) and add on to it by getting out there and really performing. Rhiannas lackluster live performances are holding her back.
Keysha cole lol... NEEDS TO GET RID OF EVERYBODY AROUND HER.. They are just milking her for all its worth.
Chris brown and Ciara were the best performers hands down!I give a big BOOOO for Usher, tamika and her 10 kids plus the one they have together must be wearing him down! Thats what he gets for trying to hurry up , get married and have a baby after all the rumors started to swirl around that he was ***, after one of those actors ousted him for going to that *** ***!
This bet awards was booty aka it sucked a**
First let's talk about usher he was horrible and he is played out so usher please you had your time to shine it's chris brown turn you can't always have the spotlight on you usher you did good in your later years now give chris some time.Far as keyshia cole to you haters i think she was okay yeah she did sound nervous but who wouldn't standin that high in the air also who ever did the equipment at the show should have been killed. During keyshia performance the mic and sound was all out of place and i feel as if it wasn't right but far as her not being able to sing live oh she can someone name a singer who always should good live and don't lie eveyone have them moments when it's not so good and far as the rhianna situation she was good but she could never out sing keyshia cole you put both of them on the stage and give them a good mic i bet you keyshia out sing rhianna i can say that rhianna vocal was on point but come on now rhianna performed half way at the end they had time to get her on point and that's why she song like that she was boring she stand in one spot and didn't move if keyshia have done that she would have done great.
To me the best was chris brown and ciara dancing but not too much of his singing.
