  2. Second-

  3. The Brown Hornet

    I hope Kim got enough $$$ to get her ride out of hock…

  4. Dis ***** Here (Chlamydia Ain't *****, But a Head Cold)

    Keisha Cole can’t dance..can’t sing, lol but fellow ghetto w*****s from around the world can empathize with her story..

  5. bee

    EnVogue is going too make a comeback. SWV look like linebacker.

  6. Angee

    The show has been good. I like the AKeys number with the girl groups. I liked Usher. I could do with out TPain.

  7. And.....(with 5 dots)

    Alicia’s performance was good. ALL of the girls of En Vogue still look good.

    Keisha Coles really needs to work her stamina, b/c that child cannot move around and sing at the same time without sounding like she needs an oxygen mask.


  8. I AM in the top 10 LOL~

  9. v

    usher fell c*****ie dress went up man ***** was happenin


  10. My Greatest- Al Green & A. Hamilton & Maxwell

    My Best – Chris Brown/ Ce-Ce Dance, D. Sapp, Rianna

    My Better – T-Pain & Crew, A. Keys & Crew,

    My Cool – ?

    My Worst- BET Sound System during Young Jeezy & Kanye Performance

  11. I'm Just Me

    I am not impressed with her Cleopatra look. It seems too far fromher head.

    Keyshia and Kim look alright.

  12. Lush_Us Lipps

    Alicia definately had the best performance!!!!! Hands Down!

  13. RICBLEU34

    DAMN!!! RHIANNA IS THE HOTTEST THING ON THIS PLANET!

  14. Lush_Us Lipps

    I wasn’t feeling Alcia’s wig… me no likey :(

  15. hottie

    top ten baby . SHOW WAS HOTTTtttttt

  16. RICBLEU34

    RHIANNA’S SINGING IS EFFORTLESS..GREAT VOICE..ESPECIALLY FOR POP/TECHNO MUSIC.

  17. Sohoissooverrated

    Chris Brown n Ciara whewwwww!!! Rhi rHI BETTA TAKE NOTES! N UMMMM Rhianna performance was very blah…singing, well if thats wat u call it!

  18. RICBLEU34

    RHI DOESN’T HAVE TO DANCE..THAT GIRL IS STUNNING.


  19. Rhianna is getting better. I still hate her but I have to admit she’s improving. I loved A Keys w/ SWV & En Vogue but I thought they should have brought the girls out in descending order. En Vogue first then SWV and TLC last. I couldnt believe how bad Coco and the rest were looking. Is coco pregnant again? Damn that was hard to see but they were the ***** in their days. And En Vogue?!?!? That was fierce. Its crazy how those women have been out way before SWV and managed to keep up w/ their looks and bodies. Bravo to them! Did anybody see Dawn Robinson? I dont think she was there. Chilli looked really cute and Tboz looked homey and tired but the voice never changed.

  20. Aunt Viv

    If this show could just be performances, it would be so much better. Alicia Keys, Al Green, CBreezy, Maxwell n’ Anthony Hamilton, and even Ri-Ri have all done well.


  21. she’s sexy &hot!

    i wish i can find such hot girl as gf

  22. VicKaLiCioUs

    @Soho

    THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Rihanna sucked. She should have brought it as hard as Ciara did. Rihanna’s time will be up soon.


  23. Yeah you also have to give it up for C breezy and Ciara. That was a hot little damce at the end. Man that was fiya. I cant stand either artist but the dancing was excellent. He knocked Usher out the box for sure. I also thought Neyo was pretty good too. But he is so flaming. I swear he’s vogue-ing in closer.

  24. Til You Do Right By Me...

    AKeys is my girl and I love the CD but the performance on the awards tonight was horrible!! Not feeling it at all.

  25. The Devil Is A Liar

    RicBlue34 … the devil is a liar. You just want someone to say how horrible Rhianna is and that she can’t sign at all. You want someone to say, “Looks before talent”.

    OK, there, I said it.

  26. VicKaLiCioUs

    @Nothing nice

    Dawn was there…

    I was telling my hubby that SWV looked horrible. LeLe looked the best out of the three. CoCo looked so old.

  27. The Devil Is A Liar

    Til You Do Right … I am so glad that someone else thought that AKeys performance was horrible. I love her music, but it’s something about her performance that was lacking. I really couldn’t keep my eyes off of that horrible outfit. It distracted me.


  28. @ The Devil

    She looks dumpy. I liked her better when she was slimmer.

  29. VicKaLiCioUs

    @THe Devil

    She was singing a lil higher than normal.


  30. @ Vick

    Yeah coco looked so damn bad. Damn I luved them girls back in the day. wonder what happened. I thought I saw Dawn. I wasn’t sure.

  31. VicKaLiCioUs

    Al Green had the best performance…


  32. Al did his thing indeed but he’s a veteran. Its not fair to the rest.

  33. Lush_Us Lipps

    EnVogue looked great, especially for their age & still sounded good….so did TLC.

  34. VicKaLiCioUs

    Al had the entire place singing…no one moved the room like that. I think the worst was Keyshia Cole

  35. 80sbaby

    Keyshia’s boots were fiyah.

  36. terika

    uuummmm i know im not the only one that thinks AK has on butt pads????? she is thick but she aint thicky thick.. not like that.

  37. vanessa

    Alica keys looks fat in those jeans….she needs to wear clothes that is more flattering for her figure.

  38. terika

    UGK 4 life…TEXAS stand up!!!

  39. Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    Usher ain’t got nothing on C-breezy!!!!!

    Usher better try to get his spot back cuz um’… his performance was not very exciting. :(

  40. femmefatale

    Ciara should hang singing up. Dancing was obviously her gift.

  41. yvette

    i miss beyonce and jay

  42. femmefatale

    The best win of the night was UGK…hands down. Well deserved. P.A. in the building.

  43. femmefatale

    …or shall I say…Bun B

  44. Everybodys_Favorite

    is it me or did Usher seem a lil stiff as hell…that ***** need some Bengay or IcyHot on them joints cuz I thought my boy bones were gonna pop…Neyo performance was cool and of course my boys Ciara ad Chris ripped the stage :) lol

  45. femmefatale

    …LAST….

  46. De

    A. Keys with the girl groups was phenom.

    Yes all the girls from EnVogue were there.

    Al Green was also great. He has lost his voice, but not his crowd appeal.

    Why was Ashanti laughing at everything? Why did Gaby Union have on that ridiculous pony tail? Why doesn’t Nelly wear a shirt?

  47. MsDadeCounty

    Alisha outfit look like it came straight from Kmart! Not a good look

  48. 2cute4u

    Ok so Keisha’s performance sucked! She came in a half verse late on her second song. At least she looked cute, but she should never try to dance. My absolute favorite of the night was the entire tribute to Al Green! Ya’ll when Maxwell came out!!!!!…..I thought damn, where have you been all my life baby! He’s still sexy and he still has that silky voice. Why did Ashanti look like she was going to a damn costume party? She’s just so annoying in her interviews.

  49. Nikki

    Oh what a night! Huh?

    BET did an aiight job this go round.

    Usher was a good look startin things off.

    Alicia Keys does Alicia Keys well. She’s her own hype…enjoyed the girl’s group reunion as well…was waitin to see Destiny’s Child roll through…wigs and all…lol.

    On a high note, Chris Brown and Ciara kept it VERY sexy.

    Keyshia Cole was a HUGE disappointment….

    T-Pain?? Being the best thing (in Kanye’s words) to happen to music today??…hmm…can somebody please retire that voice box….much appreciated.

    Speaking of Kanye…good to see him be a bit more reserved and on the chill. Lovin the reserved and humble Kanye. A good look. Hope he keeps that up.

    All in all. Entertaining. Very.

  50. VicKaLiCioUs

    @nikki

    Kanye humble tonight? He kinda said Lil Wayne was his only competition. Jay-Z and Common were nominated in the same category. I can’t stand listening to Kanye speak, but I enjoy his music. He is just a *****hole. It’s not funny anymore. I think they just gave him the award so he wouldn’t ***** about not winning.

  51. browneyes

    Great Show…

    Usher- good, but i kind of expected more

    T-Pain- hilarious

    Alicia Keys- typical… in a great way

    Keyshia Cole- worst of the show

    Chris and Ciara- soooooo fly

    Al Green- BEST of the show

  52. St. Boner

    Alicia Keys and *****Z WITH VAGINAS sounded raggedy than a **********a + *****Z WITH VAGINAS porked out big time. Them hoes need a stairclimber in the worse way.


  53. alicia was amazing loved her performance but what

    about total. she should have brang them out.

    last with the song . can’t you see . but oh well

    alicia was amazing thats my girl

    ok damn is beyonce to good for b.e.t. she couldn’t show up and show some love, present or something.

    marriage will kill her career.


  54. USHER MUST FEEL HORRIBLE. CHRIS KILLED IT

  57. PANAMA'S FINEST

    USHER WASN’T RIGHT FOR LIP SINGING..

    WHAT A WACK ***** PERFORMANCE.

  58. dqueen

    NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  59. Where did she get those hips from?


  60. @ St boner

    ” *****s with Vaginas”?!? Dude thats cold. You obviously know something we don’t. care to share?


  61. @ Panama

    Yeah Usher’s performance was WEAK w/ capitals. He’s done.


  62. Rihanna sound good… I told you that she can sing! Chris Brown was also singing along and dancing during her performance. She also looked great! I liked that black dress she performed in, she looked absolutely stunning.

    Chris and Ciara left me speechless! They def had one of the best performances of the night.

    T-Wayne (T-Pain) had me laughing…

    Keisha was kinda good.

    After Usher’s performance I heard crickets… Move over Usher Chris Brown took you down; lol

    I love any and everything Alicia Keys does… she always has my high praises! Congrats to her and her win.


  63. Parental Guidance is needed to view Ciara and Chris Browns performance… H.O.T hot! Rihanna girl don’t even feel jealouse for one second. I am sure Chris only wants to take you down; and don’t forget that he left with you on his arms.

  64. synnoman

    I love alicia keys thats my girl and all, truth be told i have seen her perform better but the whole set-up of her show with all my girls from the 90’s was hot i loved it…ri ri betta watch ciara and chris bf she be sing that song to him for real cause them to was straight up dry f*%*@ng…lol

  65. lihara

    i have dvred it so i def need to look @ the bet awards over..lol Ushers performance was WACK and CORNY!! I was waiting for Beyonce and lil WAYNE to make it better but it never happened..lol.. he could have least do his new song..corny opening to at the show!!I Loved Alicia Keys was it the grammy’s when she had the dancehall artist on her performance..well done shes always good Chris Brown performace was aight UNTIL Ciara come on stage I was oh no damn I wish I would take Chris down..another wack performance I was highly upset with Rihanna..yea she doesnt no how to sing did any1 listen to the performance (idk she wasnt even moving around and she sounded like she couldnt hold the note like she was forcing it) but i thought she would entertain more..Nellys performace Ciara mad it hot (not a Ciara fan she cant sing either ) but she entertains..Ne-Yo I was more like okay didnt expect it but wasnt like Oh WOW..

  66. lihara

    Keyshia girl she needs to practice more with dancing and hoping around the stage looking back @ dancers to see when to make the steps..she was out of breath every 2 seconds..bad just bad and can you leave your mom home we dont need to see her everywhere ghetto mess I know you gys heard her yelling after the shot overview of the audience when Neffy & Frankie were done with their camera time..

  67. Dominique=Maxwell Fan♥

    I LOVED MAXWELL’S TRIBUTE PERFORMANCe 4 AL GREEN!!!

    One of the best moments of the show to me![♥♥♥]

  68. Its6amHoGetOut

    Alicia please lay off the fried foods, those hips and waist are expanding.

  69. glok9n

    MAN….THAT ***** WAS THE WORST ***** I EVER WASTED GOOD WEED ON ….THE AL GREEN TRIBUTE WAS THE BEST THING GOING!

  70. Juicy R♥

    Alicia Keys definetly had the best performance.

    EnVogue, and SWV looked great!!! Not so sure about TLC they looked kind of tacky.

    Lil Kim look like she trying to look white.

    Lil Wayne dominated the show!!!

  71. happy to be alive

    Alicia Keys was off the hook!!!!! I’m old school, SWV Put on a couple of Hundred Pounds, TLC so lost without Lefteye… I cried when I saw them. Al Green, no words can express…however, I still want to know… were the Grits, Quick or Traditional?

  72. Sit yo five dolla a*s down before I make change!

    Usher was looking a little stiff. Probably because is he really touched his dancer, Tomeka was gonna bum rush the stage…LOL…I loved Chris and Cece…and Alicia Keys. Man, Keyshia is my girl but her stage presence was too ridiculous….


  73. BEST PERFORMANCE ALICIA KEYS,AL GREEN,MAXWELL,ANTHONY HAMILTON,AND JILL SCOTT,THAT OTHER CRAP SUCKED ,PLEASE BRING BACK REAL MUSIC,SO SICK OF THIS OTHER MUSIC OUT THERE,HAS NO MEANING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  74. What I say Goes

    Alicia Keys performance had a good concept, but extremely poor execution. To start, Alicia sounded horrible and the look does her no justice. Her skin tone was damn near orange. SWV looked stiff and scared. CoCo didnt go in like she could have. EnVogue looked good, but when Alicia song along things went wrong. TLC. Well, T-Boz sounded like Froggy from the Little Rascals. I know thats her signature sound, but it sounds better in the studio. Al Green sucked too.

  75. Nat Turna

    THANK YOU to Alicia Keys and those black jeans! CLAWD HAVE MERCY that woman is stunning!

    my god did you see the hips and thighs on that girl?!?! DAM!

  76. Nat Turna

    THANK YOU to Alicia Keys and those black jeans! CLAWD HAVE MERCY that woman is stunning!

    my god did you see the hips and thighs on that girl?!?! DAM! Can you believe her mom is white?


  77. Alicia Keys performance last night was sooo GREAT!! I LOVED how she had all of the 90s girl groups with her, if she would have had Xscape also, it would have been icing on the cake!! Usher’s performance was WEAK!! He should have not opened the show, Alicia or T-Pain should have!! Great awards show last night!!


  78. Ciara is the new Janet Jackson. Chick has no spine. And don’t get me started on Chris Brown; gyrating his hips like he want me to have his baby…lol…

  79. DC DIVA

    Maxwell was da *****, he sooo sexy and he was angin likkkeee, but i loves A. Keys performance and dat chris brown ciara dance was tight, lil wayne was tight and the beginnin of t-pains performance, i loved dat, it was very creative not to mention da song was hottt! Ov erall great show, was very satisfied and impressed, just when u thought one was tight another one came on that was better, but Alicia got it. And boyy Usher, he sure aint wat he use to be, man stiff as *****.

  80. DC DIVA

    And Keyshia Cole was sum *****, i think hers was the worst of the night, lil kim made her show. At first i thought maybe her voice was shaky cuz she was up on dat high ***** thing, but when she came down she sounded just as bad. Cute but her voice was some *****

  81. Phenomenal Me... Ms. Dee

    Til You Do Right By Me…(Check me out!)

    AKeys is my girl and I love the CD but the performance on the awards tonight was horrible!! Not feeling it at all.

    DITTO!! Although I don’t have the cd (I do plan on purchasing it). I was NOT feeling that performance, nor that wig at all, but I must say, she was working them jeans and that top, no homo, but chick’s body is sick. Looked like a fit I would definitely rock… once I get this extra stomach off!! LOL!

    Anywhoo… Alicia’s skin tone was definitely on the orangina side. SWV (ALL 3) were looking extremely, old, tired, busted and disgusted! WHAT IN DA H-E-double hockey sticks was up w/COCO!!! And I would rag on T-Boz, but I know she’s very sickly… which is probably the reason for her looking and performing the way she did. Poor Chili looked like she was just happy to be there… cute girl, but could anyone hear her voice?? Even the camera man wasn’t trying to give her any TV time… it was all about T-Boz.

  82. iluvprada

    @ bee…that is sooo funny! But true! EnVogue looked GOOD last night! It’s a shame they couldn’t stay a group and work the petty sh~! out! Maybe wit last nights perfomance, there is some hope!

  83. Exclusif

    Al Green, Maxwell, Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, A Keys best performance

    Usher boring

    Keyshia Cole, love her but worst performance, and Keyshia please leave Neffy and Frankie at home.

  84. Phenomenal Me... Ms. Dee

    Oh… and one more thing… ANTHONY HAMILTON IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO THE BUSINESS!!! He could have performed all of Al Green’s songs (even when Al got up there to sing). However, it was GREAT to see Maxwell… liked his performance… and I wish he’d come back!!!


  85. Who cares?

    Big deal?

    Amazing… I found brintey spears had a personal account on on the wealthy dating club W E A L T H Y C H A T . C O M for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating. It’s said Charlie Sheen has found his love there last May.

  86. HOTSTUFF

    Love Keyshia but the show could’ve started at ne-Yo’s set and Alicia did good but I was not feeling her helmet wig!!!

  87. zayah

    Ne-Yo, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, and Chris Brown/Ciara was the hottest!! enuff said..point blank..Chris’s should have been longer!!!!

  88. iluvprada

    And yes Keyshia Cole’s and Ushers, oh and let’s not forget Rihannas (in my opinion) performances pretty much sucked! The show as whole was just okay! It shouldn’t have been on that DAMN long!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I was expecting Lil Wayne to tear it up!…he sucked too!


  89. always hot!

  90. Sharie

    HOT-

    CHRIS B. & CIARA- That turned me on (literally)PURE FIRE…lol

    ALICIA KEYS- That woman is a goddess- pure genius/ God given talent/creativity

    AL GREEN- I was dancing on top of my bed through the whole performance…

    T-PAIN- He puts on an entertaining show.

    NEYO- Very Good Performance/singing/dancing

    NOT HOT-

    RIHANNA- I thought she looked like the Bride of Dracula performing that BORING song… Not Good. Who cares if she is cute? ENTERTAIN ME!

    USHER- He needs to sit down. He looked so slow, old & out of shape…

    K.COLE MAMA- Hot Mess- Embarr*****ing

    KANYE WEST- No disrespect- Winning Best Hip Hop Male Artist- Let the record sales tell the story (WE WANT WEEZY!!)

  91. msk

    I was shocked when Keyshia Started , excuse me attempted to sing. My son and i was like OMG!!!. I actually felt sorry for her. She seemed a little high.I hope she honestly didn’t think that was performing.

    Alicia- looked stuffed

    C*****ie- hooker

    Jill Scott- wrong for that song

    Weezy-To many damn people on stage

    Usher- next

    Rhianna- was impressed with voice if she wasn’t lip

    sync

    D.L Hughley-some of the jokes was insulting not funny.

  92. D

    CIARA AND CHRIS SHUT THAT STAGE DOWN. PERIOD END OF DISCUSSION

  93. Bozo D. Clown

    Mmm… Alicia Keys…

    Mmm… Keyshia Cole…

  94. soulwoman

    First and firemost, Al Green was the highlight of the show. You can’t do don’t but groove to Let’s Stay Together. Everybody was on their feet. You can’t front on that show. Jill, Anthony (he was perfect for that song) and ….MAXWELL!!!:) OMG! He needs to hurry up and put another album out. Chris performance didn’t take off until he performed “Take You Down”. Ciara killed it! Their performance made me a lil warm. Alicia Keys, SWV, TLC En Vogue – even though the sound was off, I was sooo glad to see the female groups. Keyshia Cole and dancing simply don’t go together.

  95. ms truth

    Usher — so through with him. He was so boring I went to the kitchen to make a ham/cheese sandwich.

    Alicia — love her.

    SWV — lawd the skinny ones are fat (coco & taj) and the fat one is skinny (leelee)

    Envouge — happy dawn let her issues go to sing with the group. loved those ladies “hold on”

    T-Pain — too much ghetto on stage (could not understand the lyrics)

    Big Boi — bad mic but I bet his 16 bars was HOT!

    Ludacris — need to find him quick b/c he is sexy

    TLC — tboyz voice is so raspy i thought it was a man. she is spreading and might want to get up from the table.

    Neyo — wow wow. better than expected

    chris brown — he is lucky i am not 12 years younger. he would get it “break YOU down”

    KCole — a big mess

    Lil Kim — what in hell. did she see herself (speechless)

    Jill Scott — Always on point singing. But what did she do to her hair (Dear Jesus).

    Anthony Hamilton — so nice

    Maxwell — when is his album coming out. I do miss that neo-soul lover

    Al Green — he just gets better with time (Thanks to the Academy)

    Nelly — muted the television. Cannot listen to such a bullsh*t song

    Rihanna — get a voice coach. there is no excuse

    Lil Wayne — I am going to buy that album (bootleg of course)

  96. Phoenix7

    that performance was wack no one looked comfy, A keys didn;t sound too good either and that brawd is getting hefty, it’d be diff if she was solid and toned she just look fat!!!!

  97. oN dAtPiFf & cIRoC

    Maxwell made me soooo hot man….he was oh so clean and sexy…absolutely beautiful voice…does anyone know if he’s got an album coming?

  98. oN dAtPiFf & cIRoC

    what the hell was alicia doing with that ugly wig on…smh..you got hair girl why mess around with that cheap ***** fake hair!

  99. so 510 bay

    wow… lil kim body looks so hard (and not from working out) what a mess… keysia never cease’s to be the worst outta of an already mediocre show she sounded wack looked wack and that drop it to floor shananagan was even wacker… smh 4 tha bay

  100. so 510 bay

    on a much more positive note AL Green made the show!!


  101. Alicia was straining too much for me to enjoy it. SWV.. sad! TLC… sad! Keyshia was terrible but Lil Kim saved the performance. T Pain is an awful lip-syncer! Usher made me mad by lip-syncin… I expect more from him! Chris Brown sounded awful & Ciara saved his performance. But they could’ve did soooooo much better!! Riyonce should never eeeever sing another ballad as long as she live! The crowd was looking like WTF??!! EnVogue was the ONLY good singers last night, outside of Al Green!!!!

    This show gets a D+

  102. Kish

    Keyshia’s performance was so Amateur Night at the Rec Center!I’m a fan and I’m embarr*****ed for her. What a mess!


  103. Akeys looked a wal-mart mess and Keyshia sound horrible. The old school performances were a nice touch.

  104. kai

    You know..i tried to endure rihannas performance but i had to cut that short…it sounds like pain in my ears..shes just not cut out to sing ballads..maybe just pop and maybe not even that….mm mm mmm mmm

    Ciara is built like an action figure cartoon character, her body is BAD-and she and chris’ performance was the BEST of the night to me

    Alicia Keys made me want to cry with all the girl groups coming out because with TLC i kept thinking wheres left eye…odd…

    Note to Alicia dont ever wear that fuggin wig again you dummy lol you have a full head of hair…

    And lastly-thank goodness for no BEYONDSAYIT this year lol

  105. oN dAtPiFf & cIRoC

    Usher-performance was sooo boring I rolled up during his performance

    Keyshia/Kim-Kim did better than I expected. Keyshia is a sorry excuse as a performer, can’t dance and ruined that pretty song

    Neyo-performance was PERFECTLY ON POINT enough said…loved it he is unbelievable

    Jeezy/Kanye-really good performance loves me some jeezy—they put on for my city!!

    TPain-he’s actually entertaining, weird as f*ck but entertaining

    Alicia/EnVogue/SWV/TLC-100% perfect I absolutely loved their performance really brought me back…good times folks good times

    ChrisBrown/Ciara-Really really good performance loved the dancing that was sooo hot ciara is the business

    Rhiana-great song she actually sang VERY pretty–loved how chris was singing along in the audience.

    Al Green/Maxwell/Anthony Hamilton/Jill Scott-great performances very nice tribute everyone was feelin that part of the night for real…all that love in the air

    DJ Khaled(and the rest)-that performance was hot, but they could have pulled EVERYONE on for that Im so hood remix tho

    Lil Wayne-KILLED IT!!!!!! I was soooo hype when he did a milli…..wayne is unstoppable…I was disappointed when he won viewer’s choice and thanked everyone BUT THE FANS….boooo

  106. Sexii Char

    OMG, Keyshia Cole was a hot ghetto mess. Either she didnt get to practice or she just plain out sux. She came in on the wrong part and den missed almost the whole verse and kept looking back at the dancers.. i was embarr*****ed for her . she should be shamed. oh and she cant sing worth sh*t on top of all that. Worst live performance , worse than Briney at the MTV awards last year :x

  107. Lady Architect

    Alicia’s and Neyo’s performances were the best to me.

    Alicia always amazes me because she always does something extra and this time she brought out some legendary groups. She was wearing those jeans too!

    Neyo and the jabawackeez, woooo. Is he an alpha?

    Chris and Ciara killed it with her sliding down his leg.

    Rihanna surprisingly sound very well to me.

  108. oN dAtPiFf & cIRoC

    Also big ups to UGK (bun b) keepin it trill winning that award….they were soo humble I was really happy to see them win….Bun B is soo damn fine I dont know what to do with myself…RIP Pimp C….UGK FOR LIFE!!!

  109. bria

    Besides the Al Green performance the best performance was Alicia Keys and that is only because of who came out with her. I miss the music from the 90’s. That was the last decade we had music. I wish these young ladies that sing would learn to just sing and stop yelling.


  110. Was Keisha fighting or dancing. All I saw was arms swinging and legs kicking.

  111. kai

    Oh by the way Keyshia was high as a mo***** in her performance..forgetting, shortness of breath, erratic dancing, singing off, lol stop smoking weed before performances beetch…you cannot pull it off htat way

  112. Bahamas/Chicago/Cayman Girl

    It was all about Al Green, Jill Scott, Maxwell & Anthony Hamilton, hmmm mmm that ***** was fire!!

    I loved Alicia Keys, she was fabulous Envogue looked amazing!! It is me or did anyone notice that Envogue is older but looked and sounded better than SWV??? What the hell the happened to them!!

    Loved Chris Brown, Ne-yo & Rihanna’s performances respectively. And though I love Keisha Cole, I really do, her performance was garbage!!!! Truly GARBAGE!!!!

    Usher I was completely underwhelmed! He just gave us more of the same, nothing fabulous!!

  113. Sara

    What the F*ck was on Alicia’s head? Both her and Lil Kim looked like strokeface trannys. And the singing sucked(except Al Green). I’m switching to bubblegum pop music. High School Musical Rocks!

  114. Bahamas/Chicago/Cayman Girl

    I forgot!! Weezy F. Baby was hot!!!!!

  115. YO !

    @cook

    Was Keisha fighting or dancing. All I saw was arms swinging and legs kicking.

  117. Capital Peach

    Keyshia Cole was awful. Just plain awful

  118. done

    Is it me or did Keyshia Cole buy some new junk in the trunk???

  119. Lex

    I never count the legend performances b/c they are always hype (well, most of the time) and they’re highly respected vets. IMHO, I thought that CB’s performance was a tad bit overrated. Good, but overrated. We know he’s grown; he don’t need to always prove it. For Me, it’s gonna be difficult for him to top his Excuse Me Miss/Gimme That peformance a couple years back. The words in the water were cute though. And did anyone see Ne-Yo lookin’ lost during the jabbawockeez routine? lmbao.

  120. Missluscious247

    Hmm…was it me or have we seen KCole and Lil Kim’s performance in another awards show? Was it BET Video Awards this year? I expected something different…

  121. vachick

    @ done

    no homo but i was thinking the same thing…bout keyshia booty not bein big b4

    and heaven sent been my fave song since b4 it even hit the radio so needless to say i was hype when i heard the beat drop..then this cat in heat started singin i said OhHH LOORD where is keyshia…but lo and behold it wasnt a cat it was keyshia demolishin my song…smh!!

  122. Lex

    Before ya’ll go into cahoots about my CB opinion, I just meant that Ciara was the whole highlight of the performance. Everytime she touches the stage @ the BET awards she does her thang. Kudos to her, A Keys, Ne-Yo and Al of course.

  124. kimmie

    the fact that you guys didn’t realize that RHIANNA WAS LIP SINGING during her performance is also the same reason why industry standards are so low now. we have this watered down version of talent in the industry- where we don’t require our singers to have real talent.

    keyshia was a hot mess. jill scott and anthony was the best.

  125. kimmie

    where is beyonce when you need her


  126. @KIMMIE

    BUT MOSTLY WHEN CELEBS PERFORM THEY HAVE TO LIP SING BECAUSE THEY CANT DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, THEIR VOICE WOULD BE TOO SHAKY FROM ALL THAT DANCIN…BEY HAS DONE IT TOO.

  127. Hannibal

    Al Green killed the whole show!

  128. blackwoman

    alicia keys that was good on stage but she aint need to wear what she had on she look like a fat big *****! lol and her body is so funny made she like thick in the front with no *****.

  129. Hi Hater!

    I loved it when my man Maxwell hit the satge too!

  130. Hi Hater!

    Cook said “Was Keisha fighting or dancing. All I saw was arms swinging and legs kicking”

    LMAO that’s soo funny!

  131. Hi Hater!

    Alicia needs to work something out with that gut having wide hips is fine but having a gut with wide hips is NOT fine.

    I like the fact that she seems very comfortable with her weight she didn’t have any problems swaying that big ole booty from left to right along side her dancers lol.

    SWV looked like 3 alcoholics…who told COCO to wear them spandex leggings? T-Boz needed help with her outfit selection it’s 2008 & she still rocking that SAME hairdo from the 90’s??? Envogue was indeed older than all them women & they looked the BEST Cindi Dawn & the other girl looked fine Maxeen was ok too.

  132. biracial bombshell

    Riiiight…keyshia NEVER had ***** before…where did that come from?

  133. Sara

    I agree Hi Hater! – TBoz hairstyle is old. Maybe she’s trying to bring it back like Rhianna with the Halle hairdo.

  134. Bahamas/Chicago/Cayman Girl

    @ Envy Me(Established in 1983)

    Queen Beyonce can sing and dance at the same time don’t get it twisted!!!


  135. @bahamas…….

    im not getting ***** twisted……BEY IS THE BOMB, but it is a well known fact that alot of groups and singers have to lip sing, when they do a dance performance because they tend to become out of breath, which makes there voice sound shaky, and tired…..THANKS


  136. They should let Dave Chappelle host the show next yr. Dl hugely was horrendous!

  137. Karma

    Ok Chris Brown, cant sing for *****. He sang so awful…Rhianna was ok..but she has no stage presence at all. Makes me think…is that all special effects to help their voices on their albums? SMH…damn shame….oh did anyone listen to Quincy jones speech…great guy but think he is going a little senile.

  138. thick is not bad!!

    I know what state sum of you chicks is living in but A keys is in no way fat1! what she s’pose to way a buck 15 get real, whoever think she fat prolly got they man knocked by a thick chick its sad blk females gotta be such haters

  139. Hi Hater!

    Thick is not bad!!! wrote: “its sad blk females gotta be such haters” why everything gotta be about color? Who said folks typing hate towards Alicia is even black?

    STFU stupid!!!


  140. OK. BOSSIP is blocking my ***** again!


  141. I hear t-boz is not well(sickle cell). People with that disease usually don’t live to see 40.I hope she beat the odds. The crowd went wild when they heard “waterfalls”. Usher had a bad attitude on the aftershow. Did’nt see that wedding band that he wanted the world to see on the cover of VIBE. Yet he had so much to say on TRL, WTF!

  142. MS. Right

    DL- Not even close to funny. Kevin Hart should host next year.

    Usher-totally missed it.So no comment.

    Keyshia/Kim-Kim looks like a when plastic surgery goes wrong candidate. What the hell did she inject in her hips, lips, cheeks, *****, etc!! She is gonna look like mashed potatoe lumps in about 5 more years. And I love me some Keyshia but damn it if she didnt look like a DAMN FOOL trying to dance around on stage. Somebody should have made her some green tea and sat her ***** in a smoke room before the show!! I’m starting to see a pattern Keyshia..All your T.V. performances SUCK!!

    Neyo-his GAY ***** was jammin!!

    Jeezy/Kanye-really good performance loves me some jeezy—they put on for my city!! But why was the sound system man on break during they performance!!?? I love that song and all that echoin and low mic ***** was ridiculous!! They still ripped it though..

    TPain-he’s actually entertaining, weird as f*ck but entertaining..I dont know about being a ringleader..Roger and Zapp are the voicebox kings!!

    Alicia/EnVogue/SWV/TLC-If SWV didnt look like some damn football players, they let En Vogues old *****es come out and ***** on them!! T-boz voice was not good..I will leave it at that..Poor chilli dont even get to sing..she just holdin the mic and smilin!!

    ChrisBrown/Ciara-Really really good performance loved the dancing..Ciara and Chris RIPPED IT!! Enough said

    Rhiana-great song she actually sang VERY pretty–loved how chris was singing along in the audience. He love his boo!!

    Al Green/Maxwell/Anthony Hamilton/Jill Scott- BEST part of the show! Hands down..That Maxwell and A. Hamilton are the truth!

    DJ Khaled(and the rest)-that performance was hot, but they could have pulled EVERYONE on for that Im so hood remix tho..EVEN though I can do with out hearin WE DA BEST 12,000 times a day!

    Nelly and Lil Midget JD- I have never heeeard the Js song but I guess. I love him and fergie song..the battle rap is hot..they both can spit! Dont hate on the white girl!! And if Nelly was my man he would be required to never wear a shirt! Hell he would be required to never wear clothes period..And can somebody tell me what good good Ashanti believes she has? Its BANANAS..hahaha

    Lil Wayne-KILLED IT!!!!!! I was soooo hype when he did a milli…..wayne is unstoppable…The boy is a beast!

    Overall BET needs to step it the HELL up..however it was better than MTV..

  143. Graphixmeister

    Alicia Keys is so willing to consistently share the stage during her performances with old, forgotten acts from the past. How many other stars in the auditorium would be up to sharing the spotlight like that? I am so feeling sista girl, right now. Much respect.

  144. Link9

    Alicia was a banger. Lil Kim and Keyshia had some nice *****es on ‘em.

  145. Everyone wants to be first...so, I'll get the last word on every blog...

    -Last-
