Main Show Performers (Videos Coming As Available)


Usher just opened the show, he came through the ground with a bunch of smoke effects and breaking into a dance number, Performing the original Love In This Club.. Seems as if he's lip synching. His stage setup is dope and Beyoncé has yet to come out, maybe it was a rumor. He's going into yet another dance number, his dances on those stage belts are dope. But i'm mad he wasn't singing live! Overall, it was pretty whack.



----------------------------------


Young Jeezy is next up, I think he should have helped out Usher's week ass performance... but yeah, he's cussing his ass of while performing "I Put On" a song i've never heard a day in my life, and Kanye West just came out and is crunking up the crowd... they keep on CUSSING. It's over now.... good performance boys!

----------------------------------


Keyshia Cole just came down from the ceiling wearing a multi colored gown performing "Heaven Sent" her vocal quality is not hot but she's doing her, I guess... The wardrobe is hot though, Nelly is in the audience vibing, lol! She just switched over to "Let it Go" and ripped off the bottom of the dress, now is in a short suit with knee high white pumps! She just did a drop it like it's hot dance number.. Lil Kim just came out, with some aluminum toned jeans and a halter top. Apparently Missy Elliott missed the performance.. Keyshia's live adlibs are annoying!



----------------------------------


Ne-Yo just came out performing his hit "Closer" wearing a Gray Suit with White Shoes, a Gray Hat and black leather gloves, the choreography is hott!! This may be the in my oion the best performance of the night, the music has just broken down, he's now into the audience dancing.. one of his dancers handed him his mic back, he's now serenating Queen Lafatifah and Debrah Lee.... his female dancers have taken stage and he's dancing again. Too add he's singing live and murdering it. Ne-Yo jumped into the audience, OMG.. The Jabowackeez from MTV's America's Dance Through have taken stage and Ne-Yo came back and closed it out! AMAZING!!!

----------------------------------

Performing Teenage Love Affair with her 3 Supreme-like background singers, wearing an Egyptian like wig, dressed in all black pants with a wife beater decorated in silver rhinestones, then she went into S.W.V's "Weak" then the 3 original members of the group came out and performed the song this was another historical moment then be joined by En Vogue singing "Hold On To Your Love" HISTORICAL MOMENTS!!! Alicia is doing it mann! This was beautiful then T-Boz and Chilli joined her on stage to perform their hit "Waterfalls". All the rappers are in the audience singing along, they killed it man! This is a good look for Alicia!!!! All the ladies are harmonizing on the track, this was beautiful!!!



----------------------------------

T-Pain just took stage, with an amazing set, he is dressed up as a ringmaster, with a circus like set the whole nine, bootleg horses, women on stilts with afros, the whole nine... Lol. Now he's performing Low, the first song was "Ringmaster" I believe... Flo-Rida has come out with his usual wife black wifebeater. Now he's performing "Biggest Boss" with Rick Ross.... who came out there with his SHIRT OPEN... LMAO... Oh my god. He is wrong on so many levels, he has on a sueded burgundy sweat suit with the top open, NO SHIRT.., now they're performing I'm SO HOOD... with DJ Khaled and Big Boi has come and started rapping it's hard to hear him over the beat... and everyone is cursing the audio is shifting! Obviously Lil' Wayne is feeling it, he's jumping up and down in the Audience... Ludacris has busted out of a box and taking stage rocking his Africa Chain, killing it! This was a hot performance!!



----------------------------------

Marvin Sapp is performing Never Would Have Made It, which is one of the best Gospel Songs out today! Truly emotional lyrics, he is singing the hell out of this song!! God bless, we needed that Gospel moment, atleast he's not being bleeped out for ignorance. Theres a slideshow in the background and they just showed Michelle & Barrack Obama!! You can tell he's feeling this heart-felt performance, I am loving it y'all.. lol!

----------------------------------



Chris Brown, just hit the stage rocking all back, performing a cool rendition to his hit "With You" his dancers are partnered up into four couples doing there thing in the background, and he's singing his little heart out.. He just put his mic stand into the audience, now he's slowly breaking down into a dance number... Ciara has come out and started dancing they are dancing to Take You Down, and she's sexily dancing on top of him to Take You Down, Rihanna loks some mad... Keyshia Cole is on her feet dancing... Ciara is all over the Young heartthrob, they are getting it, that was beast!! He didn't sing it but he surely did dance.. and her name is falling in the rain, it was hot for what it was, but it was too short!



----------------------------------

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

John Legend is on now, to present Al Green with the "Lifetime Achievement Award" well... Rev. Al Green. Now they're showing a tribute video with his older archived videos and it's narrated by John Legend, i'm surprised Steve Harvey isn't presenting him with his award...

Jill Scott is performing, dressed fabulously for the occasion, well never mind.. they just showed a full body shot, but she's singing "Still in Love With You" and might I add she sung the hell out of it! And Anthony Hamilton is singing "I'm So Tired of being alone" he did it justice, and i'm so happy he didn't wear those triflin' looking threads of his... he cleaned up his image. Maxwell sung "Simply Beautiful" and brought the house down..

Al Green is taking stage performing "Let's Stay Together" which is my song and he kicked that highnote!!! He is cutting up to be so old, the congregation might be pissed of after this... LMAO, but he's doing it. I swear! Now he's going into one of his biggest hits "Love & Happiness" and he's bringing the house down!!

----------------------------------

Back to the regular show..

Rihanna just hit stage rocking an all black dress... wtf is up with color black tonight??... OOOH BET AWARDS!! Chris Brown is in the audience rocking to his girls music.. she finally made it down the stairs to the main stage, now she's at the mic stand, as usual. There's a Giant Fan in the background of her set. Her facial expression are, lmao... but she sounds decent, just no audience interaction and she's standing at the MIC!! I'm starting to like the Halle Berry hair do... she could have did bettter.. but oh well.



----------------------------------

Ashanti just came out with D.L. Hugley to present her man Nelly's Performance of his new single "Stepped on My J's" his shirtless, lol. Damn, they are on the stage dunking basketball, the dancers that is. Jermaine is spitting his verse, coolness! Ciara just came out, she changed her hair fast, look like she borrowed Alicia's wig... but they're getting it... Now he's singing Party People with my girl FERGIE!!!



----------------------------------

T-Pain put on a skit introducing Lil' Wayne a skit building the perfect rapper, which was pretty entertaining, they're performing their collabo "Get Money" and T-Pain still has on that damn Circus Hat, dressed in Linen White! And yep, they're cussing the audio keeps going in and out, which is annoying. But Wayne stage present is on point. T-Pain gave a shout out to Static Major now Wayne is performing is Number 1 single, "Lollipop" and T-Pain is singing Static's adlibs... Wayne is doing a little dance, lol.. now taking off his jacket and T-Pain is still adlibbing.. now Wayne is performing his hit mixtape single a Milli... Shirtless and is going hard I might add!

  30. SPOILERS.

    So...today (Monday) I had the chance to see a few of the dress rehearsals for the BET Awards tomorrow. Some good, some surprises, and some disappointments.

    First up was the tribute performances to Al Green. Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott (I was bummed cause she couldn't make the rehearsal), and Maxwell will all sing classic Al Green songs...Maxwell was off the chain. Then Al Green came out and sang Let's Stay Together and Love and Happiness...he smashed it, it's crazy because it was a young crowd, but he got everyone hyped!

    Next, T Pain had his time. I wasn't expecting much from him, but surprisingly, his set was pretty entertaining. He has a big circus theme with girls dancing on stilts, acrobats, a midget fire breather...his performance was crazy!! It was coo to see it live, but i'm not sure how it will translate to TV. He had a bunch of special guest including; Ludacris, Big Boi, DJ Kaled, Ric Ross, and Flo Rida.

    Rihanna was next and everyone was pretty hungry by now. It didn't help that she only did TAB and took the longest amount of stage time, and only ran her song twice. No one was feeling it...hopefully she's saving the hottness for the actual show. Oh and she had the nerve to have a closed set where no one was allowed in or out, so this meant that our lunch was sitting outside of the auditorium getting cold! One girl even said that she wished LeToya Luckett was performing instead...I got hella juiced!!! lol

    Alicia did her thing. She started of with Superwoman and then moved into TLA. Then came the big surprises! She assembled all together on stage, 3 of the biggest girl groups of the 90's and sang their hits with them. SWV - Weak; En Vouge - Hold On; and TLC - Waterfalls. This is gonna be big, it was HOTT!!!

    Last we were SUPPOSED to see Usher's set, but his ass kicked us all out.

    It was a looong day, but I'm glad I went. It was cool seeing all these acts rehearse and prepare for the show.

    btw...Sunday they had the other half of the acts prepare so I didn't get to see any of the other performers like Lil Wayne, Lil Kim, etc...
