Why BET?

Now, I only saw the middle of the BET Awards last night, but really BET, why are your productions STILL so low budget?

I'm not into watching videos and I really don't know who sings the songs I like unless my XM radio tells me who they are, but I tuned in last night for the hell of it.

These were my observations:

1. Did TI not see "Set it Off," I was really irritated that he kept calling Queen Latifiah "Chloe" and "Cleo" during their skit.

2. I'm glad Kiki Palmer has parents. I was very pleased to see her dressed like a teenager. Lil girl has a banging body - glad she is keeping it age-appropriate.

3. Diddy Dumb Moveover - Will someone please escort him to the retirement lane. Yes, he is still producing hits and whatever else he does, but other than Ciroc - I need Diddy Dum Dum to fall back.

4. Oh Johnny boy, I have mad love for your music and your generous heart, but I have no love for your barber. Boo, what was going on with the hairline? As a part of the contract you have worked out with your Beard (the gorgeous woman on his arm), she should have told you to get that fixed.

5. Mr. Anderson, you are neither light skinned nor rocking the wavy so please don't put yourself in the same category as El Debarge. And speaking of, who was expecting that comeback? As I said last night, Whitney should have been on that cheap ish like the Debarge's because homeboy looked good and sounded more than decent.

6. Debra Lee you need a new speech writer and stylist. #thatsall

7. Shame on BET for the commemoration of Gary Coleman and Lena Horne.

8. Tyrese - please sing again. You did Teddy P. good last night although I was mad that the no names in the front were too stank to stand up.

9. Alicia, Alicia, Alicia - hair dyed, stripper shoes, non-maternity attire. NO NO and NO.

10. First time i've ever seen Nicki Minaj's face - no comment.



10. STANDING EFFING OVATION for my Puma crush (i'm not old enough to be a cougar). Chris Brown deserved to be on the stage last year and every other stage that paid tribute to the greatest. Most people know I never stopped supporting Chris because my sentiment is (WARNING: I DO NOT SUPPORT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AT ALL, BUT) sometimes a B*^$# just needs to be beat. It's such a long story on why I feel that way, but this isn't about that. This is about a very young man who made a mistake, a really big mistake, but a young man who deserves to still be recognized for the God-given talent he possesses. I wanted to cry with him and for him as he tried to get the words out to "Man in the mirror" - it was so heartfelt and I couldn't help but feel proud of him. Yes, I'm team breezy all the way unlike you fair weather fans who decided to jump back on ship after last night. His skill, talent, and entertainment value never left - what left was the world's understanding that we build these child stars up only to break them down.

I didn't catch the Prince tribute, but I did kinda watch Drake um, not sure what to call it because he is so not a performer, but that, yeah, I saw that.
