Mannnnn, I am definately having one of those Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon moments. I am getting TOO old for this ish.
I reluctantly left USA's Law and Order marathon to watch the Bet Awards. First and foremost, can they PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE hire quality audio engineers? Please? It seemed that the first hour I had my television volume all of the way up and it still sounded crappy.
Sister Raymonds performance (Usher) didn't help. Dude has lost his Razzle Dazzle. Stop with the formulaic routines- ie: The Chicks will LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this ish, and PERFORM, Please? He is becoming as predictable as a Beyonce booty shake (whom I am grateful that she sat out this year and didn't even show. Whoo! Love Beyonce, but I have seen WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much of her. Maybe she took my advice and took a Sade break)
Twenty two minutes into the show, I was ready to change the channel. But I wanted to see Quincy Jones and Al Green.
T-Pain's performance FINALLY put a little life into the show. I like dude and I like his hustle. He PERFORMED!
Alicia Keys irritated me. Why? Because she should have stepped back and let SWV, Envogue (COMPLETE WITH MY GIRL DAWN!!!!!!!!!!!) and TLC do their OWN little melodies. Sorry, that's just how I feel. The younger generation didn't get the FULL impact of how REAL PERFORMING IS DONE! Each one of those sets of Legends in the Making are beautiful, sexy and can hold a mic down without ONE COOCHIE POP.(If record execs are smart, and we know they aren't-they would clear budgets for these groups and let them learn the new generation how it's done.) You don't have Envogue on my television and not allow them to do their signature harmonizing. That is WRONG not to do so!
Neyo did the damned thing, even though I wish Michael Jackson would take notes and bring his ass back THE RIGHT WAY and let the new generation that Neyo, Chris Brown and Usher didn't create that sound nor those moves-show them why Mike is truly The Kang of Pop! Out of the three who performed, Neyo just came out and shut it Down!
Chris Browns set had me yawning. I loved the raindrop effect background, but simulated sex is sooooooooooooooo over. The best thing about his performance was when Ciara came out. The girl is Badddddddddd. Period. That back bend at the end KILLED IT!
Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott and Maxwells tribute to Al Green was the Nirvana of the show! (Seriously, didn't you want to make cheese grits joke when you think of Al?)Al got up and showed out! I was ready to change the channel until I realized they didn't give Quincy his award as of yet.
Keisha Cole. sigh. I love the girls voice. I really do. She reminds me of a young Candy Staton. One day Keisha is going to bring the razzle dazzle. I am keeping hope Alive.
Rhianna, Beyonce wants her borrowed act back. Give it to her.
Though Weezy makes me itch-I can't take away from his performances. I was also surprised that he gave the most impacted speech of all last night when he accepted his award-We can't do Nothing without God in our lives. Truer words have never been spoken.
I am not being egotistical, but I KNOW I can put together a better show for the people than what I have been seeing these past five years. Test me and find out.
