BET Awards

I was extremely disappointed with the BET Awards the other night. No dance tribute to Michael, the show was mostly just an R&B tribute show, they seemed unprepared, and Jamie Foxx and some of the presenters and performers were a hot mess most of the time. Ciara couldn't sing (she can't hold a note for nothin!), Beyonce came out in a strange wedding dress singing "Ave Maria" (why didn't she sing Michael's "Can't Help It" like she did the previous night at one of her shows?), I felt like we were in another year (Tevin Campbell, New Edition, Johnny Gill, Keith Sweat?).......I was totally confused! BET really should have let Chris Brown perform. This "tribute" for me was kind of embarrassing. BET really needs to get it together!
AND......the "Baby Boy" skit was HILARIOUS! Until Ving Rames came out.......he really didn't seem like he had it together (mentally). Did you see Keyshia Cole's face when he started cursing and actin crazy? And what don't black people understand about the word "live"? You can't get on there cursing and acting ignorant and what not! What was wrong with everyone? Like we ain't go no sense? Like many other people, I have a major problem with BET being representative of black people general. We can do so much better than the things that they air.

Also: My personal highlight of the evening was the "Skank Robbers: Sheneneh Jenkins and Wanda Reid" skit with Martin Lawrence and Jamie Foxx. I was going to post it here but Viacom has pulled the clips off YouTube. If that was a real movie I'd soooo go see it! LOL.
