The 2008 BET Awards

by Karma on June 25th, 2008

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/1407/1425/8826/asset.jpgThe BET Awards were last night. Once again, BET delivered a great show for all of the network’s advocates and the fans of the artists nominated.

This was highlighted by an amazing showing via the winner of "Best Female R&B Artist", Alicia Keys.

Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton and Maxwell sang a number of classics, including "Let's Stay Together," "I'm So Tired of Being Alone" and more.

Chris Brown came correct, while T-Pain brought a boatload of people to the stage with his erratic performance. Lil Wayne also did his thing with T-Pain as he collaborated with him for "Lollipop" before performing "A Milli" to close out the evening.

Other performers and award presenters during the evening included a new, shapely Lil Kim, Rihanna, SWV, David Banner, En Vouge, Usher, Ciara, TLC, Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr., Gabrielle Union and numerous others. If you missed it, it will be replayed Friday, June 27th at 7:30 p.m.

Why do you say that? That was a real hot song and the video was good too. Go back and look at the videos that it was up against, and tell me which one should have beat it, cuz when I look, it’s obvious the correct video won. PEACE Check me out Friday mornings from 11-1EST on The Livin’ Large Morning Show at www.clubmegamix.com Listening to a freestyle by Lupe Fiasco

Gnarls Barkley shoulda won best group, but UGK did come hard. Common is nominated for BET Awards every year, and he never wins, what’s the point? And they didn’t even mention Lupe. WTH? Ego Trip vs The Cool. American Gangster vs The Cool? Man get outta here.

Rihanna is just a pretty face (that I would fuck like Gethip said). But as far as talent goes she has none. She doesn’t write her own material and she can’t sing to save her life. Did yall see her performance?? She sounded like a dying hyena.

Homeboy that said UGK only won b/c of Pimp C, your an idiot. Their whole album was on point, and that video was banging.

I’m in love with Alicia Keys yall. Word to everything, I would wife that chick. And Lil Mama did get screwed. Missy has to be one of the most overrated rappers ever. I mean she got hits for days but Lil Mama would rap circles around her.

PS: I was surprised by Wayne’s performance, he ripped it! .

IMO:

Overall the award show was ok at best!

Best performances go to Alicia Keys & Co. , Al Green & Co.
Usher, and Chris Brown( past & present) with Ciara’s jiggly ass (she’s growin’ up!)

The rest of the females sounded like shit!

DL stumbled over too many words and rushed too many of his “corny” jokes.

A lot of people didnt even bother to show up to the event!

It just wasnt as BIG as I thought it would be.

Lil’ Mama definitely got robbed (cant believe I’m saying that).

Also did yall see how SWV put on like 300lbs???

All in all… it was nothing that you HAD to see.

Lil Mama got robbed, Missy never even dropped an album.Just like last year when Lupe lost “Best New Artist” to the fat chick from Dreamgirls. Best BET show I’ve seen though, and I ain’t a fan of BET since Viacom bought them out and turned it to Black MTV. Hate to say it but no way Souljah oy should have lost to The Dream. Reminds me of when 50 lost to Evanesence at the Grammy’s. Alicia Keys was my personal highlight followed by NeYo with the Jabawockees and then T-pain’s performance. Keshia Cole and Lil Kim were the low point, followed by Jeezy and Ye doing “Put On,” a song that just doesen’t do it for me. Wayne had a nice performance, he’ll be next year’s Kanye winning everything, even though his album ain’t as hot as Ye’s. He has put out two MONSTER singles(A Milli, Lollipop) that are undeniable and should be enough to win big for him. Also, as much as I love Alicia, especially since she transformed to Pam Grier, I think Rihanna had a bigger year, she should have won on the strength of “Umbrella,” alone, last year’s “Irreplaceable.” Better luck next year. All in all, a good show.

The best BET awards so far, I thought I was gonna get bored and turn.

swv has really aged, en vouge sounded and looked good though. Put on was lack-luster, the BET mics were real shitty durring that performance. Ne-Yo is the future of R&B, people are sleeping on him. Usher was outdone by both ne-yo and chris brown.

Cuba Gooding Jr. was high off his ass. Mel B looked good, for those wondering why eddie would have hit it, watch the show. lil mama was DEFINITELY robbed.

When you look back at the past year, you’ll understand why kanye beat wayne. Kanye had a big year, wayne’s is just getting started.

over all, I was entertained. It was sooooooo much better than past boring ass years. BET is still garbage, but they stepped their game up with the award show.

Man i was really disappointed that BET didnt even consider the “Be a Nigger Too” video for Video of the year…that video was very powerful, but once again “the N word” holds Nas’ message back….i was also really surprised that Kanye took best rap artist…he is very talented and I’m glad he won but i figured that with all the Wayne Heads it had to be Weezy’s year…

Having not seen the show, but seeing the nominations and eventual winners.. this shit looks highly.. well, rigged. I’m sorry. How can can Kanye win an award over Jay-Z.. at being the best at something. Maybe the best “Cry Over Not Winning An Award” award.. but they ain’t have that.. so how is Kanye winnin’ that? but he did outsell 50 this year… so i guess it’s.. justified in a sense. I don’t know BET Awards are pretty much just played out.. i used to care.. but sadly.. not anymore.
