Like Fine Wine....

Those two 67 year-old men can out-sing, out-dance most of the performers on the B.E.T. awards! I wish I could post the O'Jays performance here ... but Viacom had it removed from YouTube...

The FCC is going to get you B.E.T.! I have yet to really comment about the B.E.T. Awards because I am actually unimpressed. While I found Jamie Foxx to be vulgar (and I appreciate vulgar), there were children in the audience... of course they were children of rappers who sing songs like "Every Girl"... but children none the less.

What was that with Ving Rhames, Tyrese and Taraji? No really, what was that? While I love Baby Boy, the ultimate mama's boy, coming of age movie... B.E.T... really? You couldn't curtail that? Especially knowing that it was not scripted? Ving, Taraji, you are not improv actors and Tyrese you're excused...

Because when Tyrese, Johnny and Trey as well as Tevin Campbell took the stage, y'all made mama happeeeeeeeeeee!



Ne-yo moved me! I'm not a true fan of his, though I own his first album and right now I have no idea where it is. Ask me where is my Anita or my Erykah... But he offered his best in his performances and it was clearly visible... his craftsmanship, his committment to the art.

What ever happened to opening the show with a choreographed performances ala Paula Abdul? Or the all-star performances at the end of the awards ceremonies? I miss that... very much.

While Jay-Z is not my favorite rapper or performer, I really liked D.O.A.
T-Pain with his Big Ass Chain... 10lbs, 197 karats, $410,000... what a freaking waste!
And Maxwell... mmm mmm mmmmmm
"It's the God in Me" Mary Mary featuring Queen La, great!

BET Awards... My Faves

As a music lover, I was in my element when I saw these 3 performances. I would have posted Marvin Sapp's performance but YouTube didn't have it. :(
