The Ham that is BET...



First before I go IN!! MJ you are truly a great individual and we will always love you and the work you have done is timeless and can never be duplicated. The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be...

I really do not know where to begin tonight ladies and gentlemen. THE HAM, THE HAM, THE HAM, THAT WAS BET!! LIKE this was a crazy friggin night!! Where do I begin!??! First off, I will say that it was probably mad difficult putting on this show with the weight of the world wanting an MJ TRIBUTE! I mean he passed away a couple days ago...I feel like they could have still done something decent for MJ...others may feel like they did not have enough time. And changing a huge show like that, a couple days before hand must have been killer...okay...waa waa...now, I am done being nice!!! But, then again, BET has had a lot of whack awards show...Especially the one where it was in MIAMI!! like, no one showed up!! n e who....

WHAT THE FLIPPIN, JUMPIN, FLYIN, RATATOUILE WAS THIS AWARDS SHOW ABOUT!!!?!?! LIKE REALLY!?!? REALLY!?!? So I was at dinner for the first half of the performance but I heard New EDITION opened up the show and that was HOT GARBAGIO!!! Wait, wait, WHERE THE HELL WAS THE NOMINEES!! I Didn't know if they were announcing awards for BEST NEW RAPPER OR ARTIST OF THE YEAR!!! Like, I understand you were pressed for time but you had to get rid of the NOMINEES!! That is why I watch this show other than the performances (which were a bunch of HAM!)

Beyonce's performance I heard was really really trash!! Like, your videos have now all become a 3 woman show...so life can not be hard when it comes to your dance routines! But, that is not the point...I heard Beyonce performed some super random whack ish!! Beyonce is a performer and she is sexy as shit, so I am not knocking her beauty and talent cause I would knock the BOMBASTIK out that muther muther! But whatever that was only the beginning...

I heard Ciara's performance was quite the trash as well!! Did not see much of it to give you an accurate description of it!

PAUSE: THIS DAMN TINY AND TOYA SHOW HAS NOT AIRED YET...BUT, I DO OFFICIALLY HATE THE SHOW!! ARGH!!! Like these CELEBRITIES be having some lame a** wives like...Tiny bruh?!?!? Come on you telling me you cant get a badder chick than that!

I gotta watch the re runs so I can see the Martin Lawrence and Jamie Foxx skit!! I heard that was down right hilarious...

Trey songz did not really come to perform tonight either! He didnt murk that performance like he could have!! But, I did hear that Jamie's Blame It performance was pretty fire!! By the time I came in...it was around the She got her own...which I will say that CHICK who was dancing was that heat rock! DID U SEE THE LEG RAISE?!??! OH BABY!!! But, NE-YO DONT YOU EEEEEVVVVVVEEEEERRRR BRING THAT EGG HEAD OUT ON THE STREETS AND THINK THE PEOPLE WILL NOT CALL YOU OUT!! You looked like a sick turtle!!!

I heard the turn my swag on performance was good...but, I just can not take soulja boy seriously...lol! I heard there was a big bed on stage...lol! which makes a lot of sense, but, still...But, the performance of the Night will go to BBD!! one time for the old school heads who really showed people how to do a performance! Sad day!!! THEY ACTUALLY TOOK THE TWITTER WORLD BACK A BIT!!! Hotness, like that Poison song is just fire!! It really had me doing the RUNNING MAN IN MY ROOM!! It was good seing Kanye on the side jamming to the old school music!! He was spazzin out! And I am sure he really does appreciate these old school artist who obviously plays a big role in his music today! Da boi Lebron was jammin as well during the old school session! So that was whats up!!

Monica and Keyshia Cole's performance was pretty decent! Monica shined on Keyshia lol! Her vocals were on point! And Keyshia can really get it!! Like I would lick her tattoos!! Did I mention Ne-Yo should never go anywhere without his hat!! I am sorry I am all over the place but this show was crazy!! And I was confused about who was getting the Humanitarian award but that cleared up real quick lol! But Wyclef Jean did say "PWAJECTS" which was down right HILARIOUS!! But, "he went from a hut, to the Pwajects, to a mansion so there is no excuse" And I really could not be mad at him for that statement. And Alicia Keys is such a beautiful and eloquent woman all around. She goes up there with Michelle Obama as far as being the "epitome of a woman" in my book! Eff what you heard!!

Now on to more foolishness...Okay, the baby boy skit was real cool until...the Guns and Butter part!! Like are you serious guys?!?! Really??!?!? The Guns is Michael, The guns is BET, and the Butter is the other (HOLD ON BRACE YOURSELF) B**** A*** NETWORK AWARD SHOWS! I could not even repeat the HARSHNESS!! And I can be a straight PIRATE on that cursing tip...But, even I know better than that Mr. Rhames!! I really did not know if there was still a skit going on or if he was serious!

And then the "we like her" performance was quite the JOKE!!! Lil Wayne needs to stop pushing YOUNG MONEY...just focus on Drake and keep it at that! Cause everyone in your camp is not marketable. Sad to say it...but, its the truth! And there were like 13 year old chicks on stage!! Like, I know your boy had a line about in 3 years holla at me Miley Cirrus but still yall did not need to have those young girls on stage to prove that!! So drake tore his acl?!?! like what the hell?!? How many rappers you hear tear their ACL BRUH!?!? Going Hard on dem tracks I guess...no homo! lmao!

The tribute was weak...and Jamie and Ne-Yo apparently were the only singers in the entire building that night...Oh, but let me rewind and say that Please Please do not let Mr. Soul Train Don Cornelius to ever speak at the awards show! Like, talk about BOOOOOOORRRRR-ING!! And then HE CAME BACK AGAIN!!! and it was not really cool to have Levert from Ojays diss him neither! As he grips his awards like a RIFFLE!! Like wtf?!?! But, then it was clear why they cut the nominees cause they knew they had Daddy Cornelius about to talk for an hour and then have him looking at a teleprompter that he can not see!! Sigh...RE-DICULOUS!!

Like, the BET AWARDS was only enjoyable because of the comments from facebook and twitter and the fact that it was my birthday!! lol!! So thanks for the love if you showed me some and It was truly a great day! I dont know what happened tonight! But, it is whatever...I may watch the re-runs or youtube it...I am sure its up and running already! And oh yea TWITTER GOT BIG BOI PROMO TONIGHT!! Chea!!

Oh, last but not least, Jigga's death of autotune video was pretty FRESH!! That might have been another one of the few high lights of the night! Oh well, YALL DROP YALL FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, COMPLAINTS, ETC. ETC. I care to see who else feels the way I do...Love, Peace and Hair Grease!!

RECENTLY ADDED: 1:10 AM
Shouts out to Janet...because, I knew that must have been quite difficult for her to even speak on behalf of her brother like that! Like, she could not even look straight at the camera...It was crazy...Man, MJ you will be missed like for real, for real!

  1. The award show was OK, even if MJ didn't pass away, I'm sure it would still look like it was put together in five minutes. Considering the time they had, they did a good job, BUT...the tomfoolery was a HAM. Kids on the stage with Drake and Wayne, Ving Rhames and his dumbass self, the censor people not censoring what they need to. The tribute at then end was very nice, but I think Janet had no intention of showing up until Joe's dumbass did this interview on the red carpet talking about his record label and referring to MJ as an entertainer 1st and his son 2nd. He's so grimy. So I think she went to set HIM straight. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt2GUNhS1bs

  2. BET was well-intentioned focusing the awards on MJ...they just didn't have the time and resources.

    They tried doing so much in so little time. i.e. Have every set of presenters present two awards, skipping the "nominee video" before each award, etc.

    A lot of it wasn't coherent. One second New Edition is doing a Jackson 5 number. Then there is a New Jack Swing medley. Then you have the O'Jays. Then you have Soulja Boy turning his sway on. Then Ne-Yo does an MJ song. Then Wayne and Young Money. Randomness!

  3. Soooo, I've got a couple problems with this award show.

    Keyshia is a beautiful woman and talented singer, but I wanna know wtf was she wearing? It was like a pastel flea market fit. N I'm not really diggin the mullet she was rockin either. I do appreicate Monica coming hard after her hiatus tho.

    As far as the various Jackson tributes, i think something needs to be said about who is allowed to pay homage in a public capacity thru replication of performances or the like. Really, in my opinion, Ciara has no business with MJ even on her lips in a performing capacity. She can dance to him, dip it low, make it work, or whatever she's tryna tell ppl to do in the club these days, but shes simply not talented enough all around for me to think she's worthy. Sorry.

    If it wasn't for Jamie and Ne-yo, all would be lost for BET honestly. What a mess. I'm almost convinced that the only reason Jante even showed up was because of the expectations on her family to speak to the public in a timely manner. BET as an organization should standing for a noble cause and be the beacon that ppl of color need it to be, but it really only helps to further stereotypes and is a blight on the tv landscape. Im sure Janet would rather have stayed home than watch that collective garbage.

    The performers didn't exactly have a tribute up to snuff for the occasion, and I understand the time constraints, but when a challenge comes along, if you as an organization are trying to be socially relevant, you need to step up. Go hard or go home. Clearly the BET awards need to pack it up and leave....

  4. Did you see that hot mess of an interview that Joe Jackson gave on the red carpet????? Didn't even seem like he was upset at all, especially after by passing a question about how his family was doing in order to plug a new business venture of his. It was so ridiculous that it actually got me mad. Im glad Janet came up at the end of the show to share some appropriate words, the words of a family that is actually grieving. No wonder Michael hated him so much. It was such a shame.

  5. Okay...let's be honest, anyone giving props to BET for their MJ tribute needs to sit down because any GOOD station that actually had a reputation to uphold wouldn't have tried to change the complete show. A SMART network that does things the correct way would have added a tribute to the end because this whole, try to incorporate MJ in everything was a nice thought, but a sorry effort. It would have been ten times better to get everyone together to do a medley of songs or something because being that MJ is the man that he is, they should know his songs. It was just sloppy.

    NEXT, Jamie Foxx admitted to being drunk at the beginning of the show. WOW. He was like, normally we pour out alcohol but I'm depressed so I drank. Like...he went IN. It was just a mess. Completely and totally. On top of that, all the missed cues? C'mon now Jamie... "Are we live now?" stoppppp.

    So on to Wayne and his posse bringing up their kids and all their friends. WHAT IN THE WORLD?! That was crazy. Point blank.

    BET stay losing. I'm like...really? "Pay It Off" "Frankie & Neffe" "Tiny & Toya" ?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING BET?! I thought there was no way to top MTV's "16 and Pregnant" but CLEARLY, you've proved me wrong again. *sigh*

    Anyway...this show was all about Ne-Yo & Jamie Foxx...OBVIOUSLY. Just...awful. smh. I'm done...for the moment. lol

  6. THE BET AWARDS SHOW! HOLI HELL IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY!
    FIRST OFF, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE GREAT THANKS TO NEYO AND JAMIE FOR PUTTING THE SHOW ON THEIR BACKS! THE SHOW WOULD HAVE BEEN A HOT MESS WITH JAMIE ACTING A FOOL AND ALL!!!

SHE PISSED ME OFF TO THE THIRD DEGREE! AT THE END OF HER PERFORMANCES I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT IF SHE WAS TRYING TO IMITATE MICHAEL JACKSON OR ELVIS PRESLEY! SHE REALLY MADE ME MAD!! CIARA I DID NOT LIKE HER SINGIN HEAL THE WORLD! SHE COOL PEEPS BUT HER VOCALS STILL NEED SOME WORK! TYRESE, TREY SONGS AND J GILL WERE HOT TOO BUT I DO BELIEVE THEY COULD HAVE BROUGHT IT A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT THEY DID. ONCE AGAIN NEYO AND JAMIE CAME THRU WITH THEIR TRIBUTE PERFORMANCES!! FIRST TIME I SHED A TEAR ON BEHALF OF MJ'S PASSING. SO GREAT BIGUPS TO THEM.

    THE OJAY'S SHOWED THEIR @$$3$!! THEY BROUGHT THE OL' SCHOOL TO THE SHOW I WAS EXTREMELY EXCITED AND IMPRESSED AT THEIR PERFORMANCE!

    I HAVE TO AGREE NEMO BLAME IT WAS HOT!! I THINK IT HAD TO BE THE BEST PERFORMANCE! BEYONCE (ALTHOUGH MY GIRL) REALLY STRUCK A NERVE WITH HER PERFORMANCE.. FIRST OFF SHE SINGA AVA MARIA WHICH IS NOT HOT IN THE STREETS RIGHT NOW! THEN HAS THE NERVE TO HAVE ON A WHITE ONE PIECE SUIT AND WHITE SHADOW LIKE SHE WAS ABOUT TO SING HALO. (LOOK B I KNOW YOU JUST GOT MARRIED LET THAT ISH GO. WE NEED YOU BACK TO THE UP BEAT DANCING ON THE STAGE COME ON.) MONICA GROWING UP WAS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE IM MORE THAN ECSTATIC THAT SHE OUT SHINNED KEYSHIA COLE! SHE BACK TO THE LOW CUT SHE WAS HOT IM READY FOR HER TO DROP ANOTHER ALBUM. SOULJA BOY WAS A HOT MESS!!! I WOULD HAVE RATHER THEY PLAY THE TRACK AND HE LIPPED SINGED! IT WAS STRAIGH BORING AND I CHANGED MY RINGTONE CAUSE HE PISSED ME OFF! MAXWELL WAS HOT HE WAS AMAZING! CANT WAIT FOR THAT ALBUM TO DROP! NEYO BROUGHT THE HOTNESS WITH KEITH SWEAT, GUY AND BBD, I WAS DANCING IN THE LIVING ROOM! DRAKE, DRAKE, DRAKE LIKE JAMIE SAID " HE GOT A LOT OF PRESSURE CAUSE HE ALREADY HOT AND DONT HAVE AN ALBUM" BUT WTH! A TORN ACL COME ON NOW!! COME ON! HOW ARE YOU HOT, COME TO THE BET AWARDS, AND DONT SHINE ON THE HIPE THATS SURROUNDING YOU RIGHT NOW??? THAT HAD ME SCREWED UP! LIKE BIG TIME!!

    SMH........SIGH.....PLEASE DONT GET ME STARTED ON TINY..... WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS THE DISAPPOINTMENT I HAVE.... FOR HERSELF AND TI... SHE OPENED HER MOUTH AND I IMMEDIATELY SAT UP AND WANTED TO SLAP HER FOR EVEN TRYING TO REPRESENT TI IN THE MANNER THAT SHE DID. MOST OF ALL I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN TI FOR EVEN HAVING A CHICK LIKE THAT ON HIS ARM. IT WAS HAM FOR REAL!!!! UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I WANTED TO SCREAM AND OVERALL LAUGHING AT THE FACEBOOK OVERLOAD OF JOKES WHEN SHE STEPPED UP TO SPEAK...OMG I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK... SIGH...

    BUT ON A BETTER NOT ALICIA KEYS AND WYCLEF DOING THEIR THING IN THESE COUNTRIES THEY DESERVED THAT AWARD..

    JANET MADE ME CRY REAL TALK.. ALTHOUGH SHE SAID SO LITTLE, IT TOOK SO MUCH TO COME OUT AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF HER BROTHER AND HER FAMILY. SHE WAS WELL COMPOSED, POISED, AND SHOWED THE STRENGTH SHE HAD FOR HER FAMILY. ( I HAD TO STAND UP AND CLAP)

    OVERALL THE SHOW WAS A SHOW FOR WHAT IT WAS, ITS NOT LIKE WE DIDNT EXPECT BET TO JACK SOMETHING UP ANYWAY. WE WERE ALL ANTICIPATING IT. A HUGE TRIBUTE AT THE END COULD HAVE PAID GREAT TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL. INSTEAD OF DOING HALF @$$ED SHOWS TO PAY RESPECTS.

    I WONT WATCH IT AGAIN

    *****RIP MICHAEL****
