This is a bad time for Chris Brown to be so messed up. He probably would have been able to give the best dance tribute to him. I can't believe all those black folks were there and none of them could do a dance tribute. Do we really only have Chris Brown and Usher who can sing and dance in 2009??

What the hell was Ciara singing???? I used to sound like that when I was a little

If we just take out the MJ tributes and focus on the fact that the other crap was actually planned and practiced it says a lot about what was suppose to happen prior to Michael Jackson's death.
I was thoroughly embarrassed and I am still dumbfounded by the fact DrakeLil Wayne thought it was cool to have little girls dancing on stage while they rapped to: "If I Could F* Every Girl

how about bet should have never touted thru press releases and the like that the BET awards 2009 was a MJ tribute when it never was. for god sakes they had CNN covering the red carpet! when has that happened?

i just saw highlights…thank goodness! I have to youtube the New Edition performance though…GOD knows i miss them! Jamie Foxx can kiss my lovely ass! He has become the biggest joke! The brotha gets some fancy statues and he thinks we care about his singing and wannabe dancer ass puleeezzz!

In defense of BET and the performers, they had less than 72 hours to revamp the entire show. Yet I think we, the audience, would've been better served had they limited all the MJJ tributes and songs to a single, focused, stellar performance. And as you pointed out, an audio/video biography to start the show would've been a welcome addition. Eh, hindsight is always 20/20.

don't forget about all the shameless acts of promotion on Jamie Foxx's part. And let's not even touch that Sheneneh movie he's promoting. I mena, but for real? That's a disgrace. As was much of the award show. I was looking to see some real Michael Jackson tribute, not just a few solid attempts by like 2 or three folks. What a mess. I know they were truggling at the last

im going to skip over the actual commentary and note the subject: Usher has NEVER taken his chance to shine like MJ did at the Motown 25….smh
