This New Edition tribute video has everything. Fresh magazine covers. Old videos. Terrible clothes. Awesome dancing. Tyrese for some random reason...
I just want to point out that George Michael, not a black man, got a better tribute performance at a black awards show than the one Prince got at the non-black award show(s).
El DeBarge was a good choice for BET’s tribute to George Michael. Hit dem high notes, baby!
Tyrese almost killed Cuba Gooding Jr. in his “in memory” speech and my section hand no chill about it.
Yesha is wondering why Maxwell won’t sing Pretty Wings. Also, what is this song? Also, no one is standing but the set looks amazing.
You can hear Maxwell practicing. He must be up next.
Chance the Rapper was recieving the Humanitarian Award and I could barely hear it between the woman arguing with the dudes in front of her and possible Rah Digga shouting things.
I just screamed at a video of Michelle Obama as if she was here.
It’s bouncy! Also, does this set count as musical theater? Also, she can sing her face off.
I appreciate BET for shouting out activists and organizers for their work. Of course it was followed up by Future’s “Eyes Wide Shut” looking set. But you know ... take it where you can get it.
Xscape sounds and looks amazing ... plus Yesha actually stood up willingly for them.
Wait. How are Karrueche and Chris Brown in the same place? Did he leave?
OK. Now people are standing. I was getting worried for a minute there. I’m like did we all decide Big Sean was lame and no one told me?
No is standing for Big Sean and this audience has stood for everyone but the Nissan acoustic chick.
Bruno Mars just shouted out Stephen Hill in his speech over winning his first BET Award. For those playing at home Stephen Hill was an executive at BET who was forced out this year. True fact, Stephen backed the BET show I used to write for but got canceled after four months. #dontsleep
I felt it every time Mary J. said you better love yourself.
Yesha is now trying to live blog from Imani’s phone. It was a fail.
There is a lady who sounds like Rah Digga who was so amped for Diddy. She literally can’t stop, won’t stop.
As promised. Imani and Busta! Hawt...
