Christina Milian & The Dream TOPLESS For Final VIBE+Lil Wayne Brings His Daughter To Work…And Folks Are Pissy!
Looks like VIBE went out with a bang:
Source: RapRadar.com
Christina Milian and her fiance The Dream are rocking the final issue of VIBE (they folded today) topless. Seemed like a trend for VIBE as of late. This one looks like a subtle shout out to Janet. Your thoughts?
So at Sunday night’s BET Awards, Lil Wayne and Drake performed “Every Girl”. Probably not the best decision as the REAL un-edited word say “I wish I could f*ck every girl in the world” in the chorus a million times. And of course, that’s what the songs about. So aside from BET’s bang up job of editing, Weezy brings out his pre-teen daughter Reginae and her BFFs to dance around the stage during the song. If you were outraged like us, we weren’t the only ones. Here’s what celebs on Twitter were saying:
According to the Examiner:
“Overrall, the show was a big downer because… many things just seemed out of place. For example, Drake’s performance had Lil’ Wayne and his pre-teen daughter with other young girls on stage rapping along to “Every Girl in the World,” which is a song about having escapades with all the girls in the world.”
Twitter and Facebook became the main source of people revealing their disappointment of the performance. From celebrities to high profile magazines, everyone had something to say about it.
“Lil’ wayne + wanting to f*ck every girl + w/ young girls on stage = smh, pure mess. how did bet miss how inappropriate that was?! (TheSourceMag’s Twitter)
these girls onstage look a littttttle tooooo young to be the subject of this song. could be the red tutu (AngelaYee’s Twitter)
Okay I have a problem! Why are there 12 year olds on stage while Drake and Lil Wayne singing this song!! I as like is that a little GIRL????? and then I was like wait there are more lil kids! HUH?? (TiaMowry’s Twitter)
Drake/Lil Wayne performance really pissed me off by bringing those young 10 year old girls singing I would F ever girl in the world. (IPRMKTG’s Twitter)”

I hear folks are writing letters and ringing BET’s phones off the hook because of this ish right here. Part of me is not surprised by the foolery. The other part is just sad. Oh wells….
For your own viewing pleasure.

I was shocked at this as well. It made the tribute part of the show to M.J. appear to be even more “thrown together” than the show was already appearing to be.

I havent watched the coonery yet but I plan to just because I like to know my enemy (BET). How did this Debra Lee lady get/keep her job??? Someone please offer some insight because I would like to know. There are so many intelligent and talented people who could run BET and make it the station we all know that it can be but they are probably tossed to the side so the people who allow this crap, Baby Momma Extravaganza(Tiny and Toya), and Crack Whore and Super Fertile(Frankie and Neffe) to go on.

I wondered who those young girls were. It’s even worse now to know it was his daughter. It was just a bad look all around. It was just a WTF moment. I liked Drake’s performance until Lil Wayne came out. Then the little muppet babies were prancing around and just ruined it. So sad…

And guess what? The same thing goes for parents who listen to adult music while their kids are in the car! If you listen to any hip hop radio stations with their kids in the car!
Enough is Enough, stand up and be parents not best friends to your children!!

see, this is exactly what happens when you don’t bathe on a regular basis.
the dirt builds up and suffocates the skin, therefore leading to dumb decision making. twelve bars of ivory soap plus several gallons of H20 and a brillo pad twice daily could’ve prevented all of this. shame on you gremlin…

Money can never buy class…perfect example…
I blame Wayne, Toya and Tiny for this. Instead of being on a show talking about how much money they have and who their kids father is, they need to be teaching them how to be young ladies. Gyrating and grinding on stage for the world to see was all types of wrong….I can bet money that they all thought it was cute, just getting them some exposure…
I hope TI called collect and checked Tiny’s ass…

Lil Wayne’s display at the awards program was digusting. That’s the kind of thing that sets black people back at least one hundred years. What made the folks at BET think it would be a good idea for Lil Wayne to perform any kind of song, where there was going to be a tribute? First, he looks like a gremlin and second, he had little kids up there with him while this negro was cussing and acting stupid and third he should have been ashamed at that mess he was on stage rapping about. Don’t get me wrong, I like maybe a few of Lil Wayne’s songs but there is a time and a place to act like you don’t have any home training or self respect-but the BET awards tribute to Michael Jackson was not the place. That negro needs to be ashamed and he also needs to apologize right along with BET.

Last time I check Sunday was not bring your daughter to work day. It was the BET Award show Tribute to MJ (that’s another issue/subject)
And last time I saw a pic of them together his titties looked almost as big as hers!
No disrespect to Janet but she should’ve have channeled her cover and hid Winnie the Pooh’s face! It might have been a good shot for the fella’s.

I am not shocked that VIBE folded, it’s went downhill over the years and has had more ads than actual material.
This whole fiasco over Drake/lil Weezy and those little girls..is sad. How tacky and totally classless is it to have those little girls (especially your own daughter)on stage during a performance of “I wish I could f**k every girl”. Downright disgusting!!! BET clearly has no values. They promote safe sex one minute, then they encourage this coonish behavior and disgusting song and they did a sorry ass job bleeping the words out!! SMH!!!

Disgusting…why wud lil wayne think it’s okay to perform that song, and have little ass girls on stage dancing…BUT then thru out the song, yell R.I.P. Michael Jackson. SMH! DISGRACE!
And wait Toya was there. Why in the hell wud you allow your daughter to go up on stage and dance to that foolishness.
But in all actuality I’m not shocked, it’s Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne and Toya clearly have no values & morals and their little girl is gonna be a hot ass mess!! Watch and see!
I don’t know why they called the show a tribute to Michael. BET should have just did a seperate show for Mike and had a little more time to plan it. I’m sure Lil Wayne, TPain or Soulja Boy collectively can’t spell Michael Jackson so they need not be invited. Get some real artists to sing and dance a=in honor of Mike’s legendary status.

BET f*ucked major this time. And then to not allow Chris Brown to do a MJ dance tribute with the other mess they had going on.
1. Jay-Z - former drug dealer, punched a lady in the face
2. Don Cornelius - beat his wife
3. T.I. - won a BET Award while in prison
4. Bobby Brown - whopped Whitney’s a$$
5. Drake/Lil Wayne - singing that songs with lil girls
6. Beyonce - performing that song in no clothes
7. Jaimie Foxx - promoting Jaimie Foxx all night
8. Jaimie Foxx - making fun of MJ’s clothes
BET Awards was a disgrace to Michael Jackson’s legacy. Please tell me where the actual tribute came into play. None of his most popular songs were even sung or played. No one danced. If they didn’t want Chris where was Usher, Omarion or Ginuwine.

But the network wouldn’t allow Chris Brown to perform, who is real talent but they allowed this coonery and boofoonery to be displayed. Can we please ask Debra Flee to resign. She is a disgrace to our race. You know, it’s always (sometimes)the most educated of us that play us worse than White people. The programming that is on BET is not for the intelligent it is a stab at the poor and uneducated people that tune in and watch the crap they consistenly run and call it Black entertainment. They play us time and time again with stereotypical programming. That’s right, BET is owned by white people so what do you expect, they show us in a good light? That’s not how they see us. How they see us reflects in the programming. Think about it.

About the vibe cover…my thoughts are YUCK. Thank goodness that won’t hit the stands! That dude is stomach turning.
And Natasha, You know there has been a lot more foolywang material this week than Solange. Try Wayne and Drake. Try any of them fools (including lil mama) on the BET red carpet. Didn’t I see some chick with a fringed shirt on for a dress looking THE FOOL on the red carpet (melody, melony, some ish). Solo at the Pride parade in a rainbow jump suit is not the worst of the worst. At least she was dressed for the occasion. Hell, didn’t I see lil Kim in one of these posts….she is foolywang of the decade.

There was just so much wrong with the BET awards. They need to rename the network BLACK EXPLOITATION TELEVISION. Here are just a few things I found disturbing:
1. Drake’s performance
2. T Pain..enough said
3. Jamie Foxx & his borderline disrespect of MJ
4. Baby Boy skit (Ving Rhames “guns is Micheal Jackson…WTF!!!???)
5. Joe Jackson promoting a label
6. Jamie Foxx promoting his tour
7. The Toya & Tiny and Frankie & Neffie promotion. Coonish & ghetto!!!
8. Tiny and her non speaking ass accepting TI’s award
9. Souljah Boy..the dumbing down of Black teens is almost complete!!!
10. The lack of a real tribute to MJ

BET Television should close down after this mess of a “tribute” -
1) Jamie Foxx - sit DOWN. How dare you come out and promote your rank-azz Vegas show in a supposed “MJ” Tribute? And then sing 4 ka-jillion times? And the jokes about MJ? There wasn’t even a moment of silence. Jamie Foxx’s Oscar Glow is officially DOA.
2) They overhyped the show - I thought that all the artists agreed to do a Michael song instead of their own.
3) WTF Keri? Outta breath much? Go back to Atlanta & sing to your brush, cuz you singing in a microphone ain’t cuttin it.
4) When you have 3 granpas like the O-Jays kick some major azz while the younginz just kept embarassing themselves, it’s a DAMN SHAME. Each generation is supposed to evolve, not DEVOLVE.
5) With so much talent in Black America, you can’t tell me that singers/musicians couldn’t do a freestyle jam session on stage covering MJ songs. They could’ve brung in Herbie Hancock, or hell, get Chaka Khan to sing! She was there!
6) Speaking of Chaka, why wasn’t Chaka asked to sing Got to be There?? Her version did MJs justice.
7) NOT ALL WAS LOST THOUGH, Ne-Yo deserves an A++++ for “Lady in my life” and Ciara gets a B for effort on “Heal the World” - Alicia & Wyclef represented wonderfully accepting the Humanitarian Award.
Anyways, I’m done with BET. They had the chance to redeem themselves, but they just proved even more how irrelevant they’ve become.
BRING BACK TAVIS SMILEY!

All I can say is that BET better get started NOW on organizing an ACTUAL Tribute to Michael Jackson. They just embrassed the entire black community in front of the whole world, who was watching to see black people celebrate Michael Jackson. I don’t care how many people are mad at Chris Brown but would have put all their feeling aside just to see a MJ performance done truly amazing.
Jay Z was way out of line if he did that shit. No one cares about him and would have been perfectly fine not seeing Jay’s boring ass performance. Bey too for that matter.
If it was Covergirl that did that shit. Please tell me how many black women actually wear their products. EXACTLY not many besides their token black celebs like Queen Latifah, Beyonce, Tyra & Rihanna.

Get that stick out your ass. I don’t care if he’s a comedian. His ass was straight disrepectful to Michael Jackson. We have enough WHITE america putting MJ done we don’t need it done in BET’s so called tribute. I’m sure Michael Jackson’s family didn’t find that shit funny.

I was like I know if those werent lil wayne girls…. them dudes on stage probably wouldve saw them a little differently and wouldve wanted to take them back to the hotel with them… not a good look at all… those are little girls… they shouldve watched the performance but shouldnt have been in it

i didn’t even notice until around the end of the performance. i knew that at least one of the little girls on stage was wayne’s. that performance was horrible on sooo many levels! the exlpicative editing was hellacious, drake sitting down like wheel chair jimmy and the audience’s blank-stare-deer-in-the-head-lights reaction to the song in general was enough to let me know that the performance was by no means hot. something needs to be done with how that station portrays itself, not just to the black community but to all. you don’t see telemundo showing all this f*ckery and no i am not latina…oh yeah R.I.P. vibe and smh at the cover choice lol!

it really was a shame, because of the song they sang.. I wouldn’t want my child around that type of buffoonery.. However, Weezy is young, and he probably thought that it would be cool for his daughter and her friends to get some stage / camera time. I DIDN’T think that there was any sexual reference specifically to the kids. Weezy probably thought that all the kids would love him cuz he would be like the coolest dad. lol
He simply didn’t know any better at that time.. bad decision in our eyes, but the fact is.. THAT’S HIS DAUGHTER~ what can you say, but Oh wells~

FOR THOSE RESPONSIBLE PARENTS……KEEP YOUR KIDS/BABIES CLOSE AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…DO NOT POST PICS OF YOUR KIDS ON THE INTERNET, NOT EVEN THESE ONLINE KID BEAUTY CONTESTS. THOSE TYPES OF SITES ARE PEDOPHILES CANDY STORE. THEY WILL CROP YOUR BABY’S PIC ON PORNOGRAPHIC PICS AND SALE THEM TO OTHER PEDOPHILES.

I was thinking that Chaka Khan would have more grammy’s than that. I mean, Alicia Keys has like.. 11 or something.. Surely Chaka’s old ass should have many more. OR- maybe Chaka should be taking some advise from Alicia .lol

The little girls have a group called “OMG Girls”. It includes TI’s step daughter Zonnique (Tiny’s daughter) also… Think she was on the stage too.

I thought Jamie Foxx did a great job. In my family whenever someone dies we always make jokes about them and some of they things they did. It is a great way to remember someone. Laughter is good for the soul!!!
I think it was great that he wore clothes that MJ wore in his video. I don’t understand how he was making fun of him when that is what MJ wore.
Now he did plug his tour a lot, too much. But I think he did a great job.

if i had a child i would not let my children listen to alot of people who make music anyways….music filled with sublimal messages and an ANTICHRIST agenda… do you know that many of our biggest black stars have sold thier souls to satan in return for money and fame.. oh yes, ur favorite diva and umbrella girl and just about all the rappers too. were they accurate by naming us the X generation, and the music promotes that demonic sterotype.
EVEN IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE I AM SASHA FIERCE SIDE OF BEYONCES COVER SHE HAS A PICTURE WITH THE BAPHOMET ON IT, what kind of crap is this?????
they are promoting the beast to my young generation, so its no wonder LITTLE GIRLS were on stage, because they are the ones being targeted
KNOW WHO YOU ARE LISTENING TO and even wat yyou watch

I agree with you. The Best Tribute would have been letting Chris Brown perform along with the rest of the other guys. But instead of black folks being ignorant as usually on TV.

Bet Awards- I think many people forgot that, the show was the BET Awards and not the Michael Jackson Tribute Show. I think for a last mintute tribute, the network did okay. BET had 3 or 4 days to incorporate a last mintute tribute into the show. I dont understand why people thought, the show was going to be mind blowing.
Lil Wayne and Drake- The decision to bring his daughter and her friends on stage, maybe wasnt the best choice. However, can we attack this man over the choice he made with HIS child? Can we attack his morals and his parenting over this situation? If you have children, you would know their isn’t a such thing as a “perfect parent”. I really believe that we cant get upset over that situation because, this isn’t the only song in rotation that children shouldnt be singing and dancing. I just look at the unwise decision wayne made and am glad that it isn’t my child.
Jamie Foxx- I dont have alot to say on that subject, but I will say people grieve in different ways. Some where, in the world somebody enjoyed the skit, who was truly touched by M.J. We as humans grieve in different ways, some by laughter, crying, and etc.

I cannot believe it!!!!! Actually that’s a lie.. I can believe it. What did you all expect from BET??? Did you expect a show with class?? Or for them to show black people in a good light?? How about intelligence.. Did you expect them to show that?? If you did then you’re stupid because BET has been on this wack ish for a minute.
I hope they don’t let lil Wayne and Drake live that ish down.. If Chris Brown can’t beat women then shouldn’t be allowed to exploit little girls.. mhmm

FOR THE FIRST TIME I AGREE WITH MOST OF THE COMMENTS ON HERE. DRAKE WOULD HAVE BE BETTER OFF BY HIMSELF. I LUV WEEZY N EVERYTHING BUT DAMN, ON A NIGHT WHERE A GOOD SPRIT WAS IN THE AIR HE COMES ALONG AND MESS IT UP. THE SONG WAS VERY VERY INAPPROPIATE, THE GIRLS JUST WANTED TO B SEEN AND I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT BABY… THE WHOLE SHOW REALLY WAS A LET DOWN BESIDES:THE O’JAY TRIBUTE, KEYSHIA &MONICA,NEYO, KERI HILSON. BET SHOULD HAVE JUST LET THE PERFORMERS DO WHAT THEY CAME TO DO CUT THE LIL AWARDS THEY GAVE OUT INTO 1 HOUR. AND JUST DID THE LAST HOUR AND A HALF JUST TO PAY TRIBUTE TO MIKE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I REALLY DIDNT ENOY THE WHOLE AWARD SHOW. SORRY TO SAY BUT MTV MUSIC AWARD SHOW WILL REALLY UPSTAGE BET AWARDS THIS YEAR. AND I KNOW CHRIS BREEZY WILL DO HIS THING THERE. IT’S A SHAME FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO NOTICE TALENT BEFORE DRAMA THATS NOT YOUR PEOPLE….

I like the song that Bey did, and I also didnt mind the 1st outfit, but the 2nd one had nothing to do with the song….
I was also VERY VERY disappointed that there was NO dance tribute!!!! The man is known for his dance moves more then anything! I love Keri Hilson, but her dancing did not mirror Micheal Jackson…sry.
BET…please do better.

HE HAS NO MERCY…..HE BEAT/RAPED 90′S SINGER PATRA SO BAD SHE DROPPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. SHE WAS EVEN INSTITUTIONALIZED FOR A TIME. SO MANY WOMEN HAVE GONE ON RECORD ABOUT HIS BEATINGS. WHAT’S GOOD FOR ONE, SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ALL WOMEN BEATERS.

His Dad actually laughed at ALL of Jaime’s jokes. Actually everyone was laughing.. thats only the part ya’ll seen.. during the commerical breaks, he was funny as hell. I was under the impession that Joe Jackson was enjoying himself, or he’s just a great actor
As for the tribute.. we were told that they only had like a day or 2 to prepare, so maybe if they had enough time, it would have been really cool.

What’s even sadder is that mediocrity and vulgarity passes as entertainment these days.
These are PROFESSIONALS (or so they claim), you can’t tell me they can change up the routine in the last minute and sing a damn MJ or Jackson 5 song? C’mon.
What happened to artistry? Improvisation? Innovation? Freestylin’? Did all that suddenly die when Michael did?
And PS on Lil Mess & Drake: Drake is way too overrated and underachieved for the level of hype people keep selling him. He has ZERO stage presence and can’t command a stage at ALL.
Lil Wayne needs to get child protection services called on him for exposing children, his OWN CHILDREN mind you to that filth that was coming out of his mouth.

Some people don’t think their kids know the difference. Whenever a black movie opens, and is rated R here come all these people wagging babies and little kids in. It’s like why didn’t you leave those kids AT HOME? SO for some folks the song was irrelevant they was on stage at the BET awards, on stage with 2 very popular rappers. Whether the song was appropriate doesn’t matter.

NO SHE CAME ONLY TO THANKS THE FANS FOR THEIR SUPPORT. JOE JACKSON SHOULD HAVE STAYED AT HOME. DID YOU SEE THE WAY HE WAS LOOKING AT BEYONCE WHEN SHE WALKED BY ! HE’S JUST AS DISGUSTING AS BET.

BET just Fuck up all around, Sunday night with this award show. Half of the performers should NOT have been up there. Lil Wayne, boo our hometown disowns you officially, because you made the people of New Orleans look terrible WTF.. was that, really? I wish I could F*uck every girl in the world and you bring your daughters to dance and Tiny and Toya was in the building and didn’t say anything!…SMH. Is this what black music and entertainment have come too such foolery and ignorance! Secondly, why was Drake dumb looking ass was up there anyway? Sorry, but I don’t get the hype or buy into him as an artist, he has no CD officially and people are actually like he is the next Tupac or something, I don’t get it or his appeal. BET needs to be cancel or they need new people over it and in charge of it because if this mess of the BET Awards in general is what we keep putting out, then I see why the world of entertainment and the world in general has a low opinion of us as people because of mess like this. Debra Lee=fired!!!! Because that show was a disgrace to Michael icon status and legacy, point blank.
The Dream and Christina please sit down, nobody really cares about you or your relationship. I agree with someone above Michael Jackson’s legacy should have been the final issue at least they would have went out with a bang

BET is a joke! In a london paper today they were saying they want the jackson family and other artists who were influenced by mj to do a tribute show at the o2(where the this is it tour was supposed to be) So lets wait and see what happens but I don’t think they fans are going to be that excited about a tribute because they wanted to see mj and there is no subsitute for him. Also 12 fans have commited suicide and one of them is british thats crazy! only mj can have that kind of effect TMZ is sayin the birth certificate of the first two children has michael’s name as the father and debbie rowe as the mother so does that mean he is the biological dad? This story is too confusing!
MJ’s body is going to be taken to neverland on friday and the funeral is on sunday-thats what the bbc said Tasha we need a mj update- I don’t want to watch the funeral its going to be too sad

Well I’m more disgusted with BET bad censorshop. They damn near blanked out Lil Wayne WHOLE VERSE because the idiots don’t know when he curses. Don’t these idiots have rehearsals? Did NO ONE over at BET say hey you CANN NOT SWEAR because we can’t be bleeping you out every second? What the hell type of show are they running over at BET?
I’m kinda pissed off that those geniuses thought it would be a good look to have little girls on stage while singing that. But I mean it was his DAUGHTER and her friends. No one is stating that it was his daughter. As if Wayne is some damn pedophile. It doesn’t excuse the fact but come on. We are talking about Lil Wayne and his dumb ass goons. I don’t think they really give a fuck. They are ghetto and ignorant.
And Tiny’s daughter was up there. It was Wayne’s daughter and Tiny’s daughter Zonnique I believe. They are in a girl group and that’s who the other girls were.

I’m basing this off of what people are saying as I didn’t watch most of the show. I put the mute button on when I heard Drake was the finale, but glad I didn’t change the channel because Janet came out later. I’ll give Bet props for making an attempt with such little time. But like some other people are saying, these artists are professionals, they should be able to put something together since that’s what they get paid to do. Lil Wayne should have freestyled to an MJ track or Drake should have, that would have gotten more respect. There could have been so many ways to incorporate Michael into the theme of different performances, it’s not like it was a Mariah or Whitney tribute show where the only people who qualify are top singers. Michael had so many aspects to him, so I don’t see any excuses as to why things could have been a bit stronger.

The BET awards was pitiful and to think I thought BET would do something nice for MJ but all they did was show just how ghetto they can really be. It’s just sick. It doesn’t mean anything that they had little time to put the awards together because if they are true performers they should be able to perform. The tributes were terrible except for the one at the end w/ Jamie and Ne-yo. Why people like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight, and CHAKA KHAN WHO WAS THERE AND THEY HAD HER PRESENT AN AWARD were not asked to provide a dedication beats me. BET never fails at depicting black people in the worst image possible.

The Weezy performance was disgusting. If I want to listen to that song on my ipod, that’s one thing, but to perform that unedited version on an awards show was a poor decision on the part of BET.

Come on baby, light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
How come we ain’t getting no higher?
Now tell sme your philosophy
On exactly what an artist should be
Should they be someone with prosperity
And no concept of reality?
Now, who you know without any flaws
That lives above the spiritual laws
And does anything they feel just because
There’s always someone there who’ll applaud
This song came to mind after that Sunday fiasco.

Just pure tomfoolery from start to finish!! i say somebody start a motion for Debra Lee and Stephen Hill to be sacked because its like they cant see whats going on. They dont know what decent black folk desire to watch on tv they’ve both lost their touch and to be honest im not sure if they really even had it in the first place.

It’s funny how some people (CB haters) were saying that Chris should not be allowed to perform because the controversy surrounding him would overshadow the fact that the show was a tribute to MJ, when in reality it was the actual BET Awards Show (including Lil’ Wayne, Drake, the profanity, and the little girls) that has got everyone so upset lol.
Plus, there was hardly an MJ tribute that night. They couldn’t at the very least organize a slide show of MJ pics in 3 - 4 days? Or a video montage? Or get more than 3 artists (3 1/2 if you include the little bit that Keke Palmer sang) to sing an MJ song? Everyone body knows an MJ song so it wouldn’t take long to learn the words! They couldn’t create short video/audio clips of celebs talking about their favourite MJ song, or video or moment? Instead they randomly had artist give a shoutout to MJ after their performances or acceptance speeches?
The whole world was watching that night, not just black folk, and BET did not deliver. The way the show was being hyped, we were expecting a lot more. I think that they shouldn’t have gone on about how the show was an MJ tribute (but still do what they did that night), then the world wouldn’t have been expecting so much. Our expectations were really high and we, for the most part, were disappointed.
Chris Brown performing would most likely not have caused this much of an uproar, if any, since the majority of people were HOPING and WAITING for him to perform.

Beyonce looked like a slut singing a catholic song to the Virgin Mary! Typical of her to always be revealed though!! Nothing new!
Wayne should be ashamed for bringing little girls on stage and to top it off his damn child and his BABY MAMA’S BFF Kid and few other friends!
Ciara should have danced. Her singing was good though! Never understand why people hate her so much!
Maxwell had the CLASSIEST performance!
WHY was JAY Z performing?! It’s so funny because that little song hasn’t even been out that long. Anyways….
ALicia Keys and Wyclef was the most positive thing about the show! Her speech was the most intelligent!
The O Jays were good.
Overrall grade C-
Bad Ethnic Television has GOT to do better. There are WAAAAY more talented people in the industry as well as streets than them TIRED OVERRATED people they always have performing!!

The only way that award show would have been great, was if they would have played MJ videos & performances for 3 hours straight (like the marathon they showed all weekend). Other than that, it had no chance! BET truly needs some new owners….

There is so much to say . Lets Begin with this blog which lead to the big picture.
What wayne did was very inappropriate . I was not shocked everyday on the New York hip radio station where atleast JR. High school and up listen on daily basis that song is played , birthday sex and the commercial hip hop market where non stop sexual or drug related song are played. Literally every single song has one of the two . Then there is 106 and park that plays the video to these song which connect even more vulgar images at a targeted teen audience. So yes what wayne did was inappropriate however given this inescapable paradox our collective energies can be focus holding these artist accountable if we truly don’t want to see a repeat of what happened on the Bet awards
2. Bet was bought by Viacom around 2006 give or take because I’m not exactly sure when. This is important at the same time many other tv networks were acquire by conglormates . There are about 4 monopolies that own all the networks in the country and even the world except for handful of independents. This is relevant because around this *** had a media innative with the agenda of spreading filter information and controlling the images that were sent out. With that we had our growth of 24 hours news that went from giving you objective facts to new that gave opinions with each station trying to convince that it was ours. We also began to receive more programming that either reflect the same values that they want promoted and dumbing down of commercials take 2001 and 2009 and you will see a major difference. This began in 2007 and run 2011. (this was also when BET fell) . There a psychological way to the programming that Im not going to get into and how it plays on race and even how black people seeee one another and how other white people see black. These is notwithstanding the lack of other race (I have point to the orginal post if you choose to read ). Now withstanding TV1 the only way for black people to see themselves interacting with one another collectively anytime they want during the day is on BET and you can see how that turns out. Whateven worse is the programming for the young black male with not postive indefication period.
3. 1 —-_>2 Which came first the chicken or the egg. Lil wayne ,106 n park , the parents with their kids in the car on hot 97 . the artist on the song. The Dj . Blaming the individual is not going to solve our problem as a group. We must SOLVE OUR PROBLEM AS A GROUP.
We as black people, refrase people of color have the upper when we put aside our difference and come together. They dont want us to recongize that black in america is the same as the brown skin man in Iraq. They play upon our differnces. Yet even for something as entertainment we can speak out loud and clear to send a message that we will not tolerate the disrepct of us as people. Recognize that these subtle but subliminal message that we enjoying on daily basis are poison when we take it with no filter.

I agree. I was disappointed with the quote on quote finale that you don’t want to miss. Lil Wayne and his Baby Momma should be ashamed of themselves. The daughter don’t have a chance with parents who are both irresponsible. I’ve been disappointed with BET for a long time. It needs to improve the quality of the Network. I’m really concerned about Generation X and the next Generation.

I wonder how many people watched the show? There were probably many people that watched that normally wouldn’t watch because of MJ, and BET did a horrible job. That Wayne performance was filled with curse words with those kids on stage. BET don’t give a dame about quality they care about money. That wasn’t a tribute they gave MJ, it was a show that they threw a little of MJ in. Because to me, they didn’t change anything about the show. We basically saw the original show that was already planned so it was going to be a wack show to begin with. I hope MTV or somebody give this man a true tribute and put BET to shame.
I also hope that FOX news rip BET,Debra Lee, and Lil Waynef or the crap he did. I know FOX don’t care, but they like to critise the Hip Hop community and this is a Perfect opportunity to do so. The words to the song he was singing is ridiculous and wasn’t something that should’ve stated around children. Just about everything in that song was bleeped out and that goes to show you that the song shouldn’t have been performed in the first place.
Even if no major media outlet pick this up, we shouldn’t let these motherfuckers at BET get away with this bullshit. I don’t mind when black people stick together,but sometimes we can’t just go with the flow. BET should be held ACCOUNTABLE regardless of whom fault it was.
THE SHOW WAS HORRIBLE AND BET DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE KIDS AND DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE TITLE “BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION” BECAUSE THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR YOU OR THEY CARE ABOUT YOU. BESIDES, BEHIND THOSE BLACK FACES, I.E. DEBRAH LEE (I THINK SHE’S BLACK) AND STEPHEN HILL, ARE WHITE MASSAS THAT THEY CONFORM TO.
BET is FULL OF SHIT and we need to start calling them out on it.

So you know when you’re really embarrased for someone on tv and you have to change the channel for a second… I just couldn’t watch it the whole way through.
Also I am tired of BET hiding behind the last minute show excuse. NO you were putting this show together for months so performances like waynes should have been reviewed. They added an extra half an hour to the show as well as noticably shortening the award announcements so their excuse for doing a half assed job are just not cutting it.

I changed the channel because of this nonsense and missed when Janet first came out as a result.
Seriously, what is so appealing about this Drake guy? The fact that he can come out with another nasty song. Why is he appealing. I asked my nieces and they told me the name of his song. I listened to the beginning part of his lyrics and was like, “okaaay.”

It really brought tears to my eyes. I just really would like to know how they aloud that to happen. I did not watch the entire thing, as I was just embarrased for him. A lot of people watched that show because of the tribute to MJ. When I got to work that next day (mind you I work in corp america with of white people and other) several people watched the show, but I was faced with having to answer what the hell was Lil Wayne doing with kids on stage dancing to a horrible song like that one. I am just lost of words on the entire BET. BET should have to address the media about this.
R.I.P MJ

I watched the awards ONLY because they said they were doing a tribute to MJ, in reality what they did was set Black Folks back 50 years. If BET didn’t have enough time to do it right they should have left it the hell alone! As for Wayne’s daughter being on the stage, the reason her Mammy didn’t say anything is because down in the N.O this is the norm, little girls shaking their azzes while grown azz men watch. Just attend a block party in the projects if you don’t believe me. BET has proven it is not the place to showcase real Black Talent all you have to do is look at the mess that’s Tiny and Toya/Frankie and Neffe. Come on people we now have a Black President when are we going to step our game up?

I saw this performance, and ignoring the fact that there were kids on the stage and one of their dads was singing about f*cking them… It was just a horrible performance over all! Drake sat on a stool the whole time, boring, Lil Wayne stumbled his way around the stage slurring all his words… wtf? not a hot mess, just a MESS!
The whole show was badly done. Why was Jay-Z there? Why did Beyonce sing Ave Marie? (and I LOVE my girl Bey, but the BET awards is not the place to bust out an operetta) Why did Jamie Foxx, the host, perform 3 times and tell us about his upcoming tour 20+ times? Why did they have a 45 min tribute to the OJs when it was already stated that this would be a MJ tribute?? Ciara sinning a ballad? HEll NO! Keke Palmer sounded better a cappella
What they should have done was have each performer do a different MJ song through out the night. And then have them all come together and sing heal the world in a big finale! I’m a 22 year old student and I can think of that! It’s not that hard!
and P.S no Chris Brown should NOT have performed, he beat a girl up and y’all just want to forget that so quickly? No he’s still on punishment for at least the rest of 2009… I dunno, how about have Usher perform?? We all know how much Usher was influenced by MJ!
BET better step their game up!

I refuse to support these artists! Did anyone else notice that fat light skinned girl dancing like shes been stripping since she was 2?!?!?! I was appalled and disgusted! Toya needs to get whooped for having a baby at 13!! To top it off she clearly isn’t ready to be a mother cause all she wants to do is chase guys and teach her daughter how to be a stupid hoe like her. Damn shame.

I’m disgusted with BET, Child protective services needed to be called after that performance, not okay. What kind of message are they trying to send out to our young black girls? Come on, Obama would have not stood for this bullshi# That entire awards show was a disgrace to all black people. I didn’t think BET had it in them to go that far.
