10 Questions About the 2006 BET Awards

Overall there were just way to many errors! It got so bad that I just stopped watching! I have to give it up for T.I for being able to keep going even thought his sound was fucked up! I also like how Jay-Z came out in jeans and a T and not a suit! Don't get me wrong I like suits but the T and Jeans were the code of that moment.

a he wrong 4 what he said about beyonce she did not look like a video girl 4 jay he was only out thier for like 3 minutes if any thing he is beyonce shadow he all ways is with her she had the best performance of the nite and thats for real she all ways finds a way to take it too the next level.

Wow, SOHH Soulful, you are one of the few people that didn't like Beyonce's performance. First of all, she is one of the only people that can sing live without going flat. And no she wasn't lip-synching. The band was cool as hell. They were hot, but the camera didn't give them enough shine. And I honestly think the performance was much better than Crazy in Love. She is singing better and I like that she just has the band and no dancers; the dancers are too broadway and it doesn't allow the artist to truly work the stage.

As for being a Jay-z video girl, come on now; that's a bit harsh. Although, I did feel the ass slap was a bit staged, but at least you know that happens in real life unlike the blatant call for attention with Jaime and Fantasia making out. And her going down backwords and holding Jay's belt was cool as hell. Also the way they bowed to each other worked really well. I thought the performance was cool as hell.

Cause you can bet Jay-z doesn't bow to no video girl.

uh... js... re-read what I posted... Bey was not the best of the nite.

Lol. I agree. Let's retire BEYONCE from the blog. We sort of predicted this yesterday.

Bad weaves. (CHERISH, LETOYA, BEYONCE, CHAKA, MARY, YOLANDA (usually on point), JANET... this list shouldn't even be here right now!

KELIS looked sexy. Along with KEYSHIA. (love that girl.)

uh... js... re-read what I posted... Bey was not the best of the nite.
------------------------------------
Well, I wouldn't know b/c after her I turned it off b/c I can't stand Damon Wayans. I figured I'll fast forward and watch some of the other performances later. I still think the performance was Hot though.

Mary Mary owned the title of Best Performers of the Night!

Youre right SOHH, CIL was WAY better performance-wise. I thought Bey was gon hurt herself last night. Fa real.

10. Yes we should

9. Yes we can

8. Jada and Will? They could get Tina and Ike and have a better set of hosts than Damon damn Wayans, LOL.

7. He is way too sexy to be so immature and im sorry but I almost threw up in my mouth when they kissed. Im still tryna fix my face, lol.

6. Yes, Lord.

5. I for one was glad at "what BET did to him" cause I didnt wanna hear him, bad enough I had to suffer thru Diddy doing the motorcycle dance.

4. Love Mary Mary but I refuse to acknowledge anybody but Busta n'em for the best of the night.

3. I know right!

2. MJB: I always thought her problem was oversinging and getting overly amped for the performance. Last night she relaxed and just chilled and it was a world of difference.

1. Its BET man, what can ya do? LOL

Busta was hot... but I am over "Touch It". And they gave Rah Digga like no camera time.

I'm always ticked at Janet's people because they make all of these excuses about her albums not selling as well, yet there are always award shows around the time of her record releases and she refuses to perform?

WTF is THAT about? I mean, realistically, the walk/strut thing is sexy as hell, but I'm confused as to how you can have an album to promote and you have millions of people watching and you strut across the stage to PRESENT and is never seen or heard from again for the rest of the night! And what really ticks me off is that when she DOES perform, she usually lipsyncing to "Rhythm Nation", "Escapade" & others and her performance rarely has anything to do with her latest project (ala, Superbowl)

I have NO doubt that no matter how many people were on the lineup last night, they would have made room for "Miss Jackson" - so what gives? I mean we all know that Beyonce and all these other chicks got all their stuff FROM Janet; I mean, look at all of the performers last night, Chris Brown, Ney-O, etc, (All MICHAEL Jackson), Beyonce and all those other chicks, (JANET Jackson) so it's painfully obvious that the Jacksons have set the stage for stage performances... so my question is, WHERE THE FREAK ARE THE JACKSONS?

I would love for you to retire Beyonce efor the log for the simple fact that people hate on the girl 24/7. I'm sure by the end of the day this thread will be filled with all kind of unneccessary remarks. She can never do anything right based on what I read in these various blogs. So do us a favor and retire Beyonce. The real fans will enjoy her music and performances. Thanks!

re: CJ in Houston,

Let the church say Amen!

Shaneequa Wayans (5th cousin removed) could have done a better job hosting that damn show. Hell bring back Mo'nique. That nigga was so dry, I ran through a bottle of water watching his monologue.

You crazy SOHH, that was in no way $2.00 on production. That was a favor from one of Debra Hill's cousins who worked for three weeks at West Coast Customs and took a couple of classes at DeVry online. He should have read the WHOLE book though. I was ready to call Comcast at the beginning when the picture started wildin out and my lady told me to calm down "Now you know this is BET..."

Oh, I learned a few things last night:

Kanye should ALWAYS have facial hair.

Chaka wasn't as tore up as the time she did that performance w/ Kanye @ MTV...but she did put a little of that good shit on a finger nail before going on.

I really think Viacom has stock in Garnier Fructis

Damn, the Chingy album IS coming out, now I can stop harassing the good people @ Tower Records!

Yolanda Adams kinda murked that song. Is she there like EVERY YEAR?

The new 106 & Park chick needs to learn how to read the prompter AND look at the camera.

And was I the only one who noticed that Damon Wayans disappeared after his monologue and only returned to introduce presenters and performers with NOTHING to say other than, "Ladies and Gentlemen... welcome to the stage..."

I think somebody figured out that he sucked and hurried UP and made that azz sit down; either that or he went backstage after realizing that he had bombed and told the producers, "I got a headache" CTFU

(What was up with the part where he "imitated" rappers)? He was HORRID, I'm like, maybe it would have been funny if he could actually DO the people he was trying to imitate, but I'm sittin there like, "I ain't NEVER heard Biggie sound like that"

I had to turn that shit off after Damon Wayans' monologue. That dude is rusty on the comedy. His jokes were so old and cliche. So I missed any good performances.

BET is such a let down.

As for question number 7, Jamie Foxx is without a shadow of a doubt a closet case. I've known that for a while.

He's one in the long list of black celebs who are living that DL life.

This blog is pretty corny and slightly bitter. Overall the show was a struggle, but BEt still has the best award shows. And if anyone is hating on the Beyonce performance.....something is just wrong with you. Also, BUSTA had the best performance hands down...not Mary Mary. Get it right SOHH.

Bust woulda had the best performance had HE performed. Bringing 5 of the hottest celebrities on stage doesn't make you a great performer. Busta is a great party starter, but big bang my ass!

Mary Mary just stood there and ate their vocals alive... no showboating necessary!

SOHH... you right, Mary Mary BLEW and took ya ass to church, but you expect that from them.

I have to give it to Busta n'em because I am really not a Busta fan like that and he got my ass off the couch, LOL. You woulda thought I was up in the club. Im not sure I have EVER gotten into a performance like that.... well not since MJ and Billie Jean at the Grammy's LOL.

Plus I didnt think he could pull it off. Missy frontin ass aint show up for her award so I didnt think she was there and figured DMX wasnt gonna be able to hit it via Satellite but dude had EVERYBODY up in the spot. And then EM???? I lost my gotdamn mind last night LOL!

After seeing everybody on Busta's roster I was thinking why are peeps making a stink about Papoose.

I don't care what anybody says, Beyonce did her THANG! Beyonce always puts on a show.

I thought that whole T.I. acappella thing was part of the show (silly me)

Damon Waynes sucked! Marlon could have done a waaay better job and I agree with CJ, that Biggie impersonation was terrible. Basically the whole show was kind of boring.

I thought the show was just ok, could have been better. I'm a little confused about the winners however. Missy wins for female rap artist of the year over Lil Kim, that's crazy!! TI wins for male rap artist of the year over 50, Common and Kanye, that's even more crazy!! I was really starting to feel TI this album, but his arrogance last night on stage after his performance as well as while accepting his award turned me off.

Beyonce's performance was great, absolutely loved her and Jay Z's chemistry.

Chaka Khan was a mess, yelling all loud, Yolanda Adams outshined her on her own song.

Much love to Keyshia Cole, that girl has so much raw talent, and sings with so much emotion, she's just too real. I personally think that she should have won best female R & B artist of the year over Mary. I think Mary is highly overrated, although her songs touch the heart, her singing pains the ears, she can't carry a note to save her life and is really just screaming into the microphone.

Jamie Foxx can not sing to save his life and Fantasia, who I love, looked as if she was having a seizure.

Yung Joc sucked, but of course he would, he's signed to Bad Boy.

Damon Wayans, you've been away from your black audience too long and sorry to say, we don't want you back now.

Best performance of the night, I'm going to have to go with Chris Brown. That boy can dance, sing, he's an entertainer. I really enjoyed his performance.

Peace and blessings.

Beyonce looks like she got the ill ants in her pants.

But that girl has the strongest voice. I mean, how can you do all that moving around on stage, and still sing like THAT! That girl can SANG...

I have one word...

Eminem

Who's fucking with his intro/performance? NOBODY. He shut that shit down like Puffy did to the studio after Fred and Ness knuckled each other in it.

MJB's dry ass performance was better than Yonce's?! Dog, pass me that dust your sniffing.

I do love what Bey is doing vocally.

CJ in Houston

First what do you mean Janet's Peeps making excuses for her albums not selling well; she has had only one album that has not sold as well as her others and that is Damita Jo. And she performed all over the damn planet for that one. The superbowl, yeah i have to agree, made no damn sense at all. After the superbowl fiasco, Da mita Jo could have had Pavarotti, Usher, Beyonce and Michael Jackson on it and it would not have sold that well, she had been outcasted by Viacom and other media outlets and therefore only sold 2 million copies of Damita Jo. And, you had not seen Janet perform escapade live since 1990 on the AMA's. Any other album she has sang her new music, whether it was on Rosie, GMA, Jay leno and Soul Train Awards.

That being said, I would have enjoyed her performing last night as well, especially since "Call On Me" is doing extemely well on Radio, after the performance she would pushed the single further up the charts. But, Hey she has been doing this for well over 20 years, she knows what she is doing.

She will probably perform on the VMA's in a couple of months and other things before that.

Caff, you's a damn fool, you know dat? LOL

N-Site: I do feel you on the "how in the hell...?" tip. Just like India Arie (who I love dearly) is always up in the nominations even if all she's done that year is a Tide commercial, LOL. And if I see Trina up in another Best Anything category, Ima just spit.

Raise your hand if you muted the tv when Damon Wayans began to talk each time...

-=\

India.Arie is just annointed with all the older legend's blessing. Stevie loves her, Prince loves her... she has so much respect and reverence for the legends & their music and its authentic... that alone will keep her in the good graces of award show committees.

Raise your hand if you muted the tv when Damon Wayans began to talk each time...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After the tanked Biggie joke, I was done.

That was snack time, water time, bathroom time, check the kids time, call my mama time and see if that check cleared yet time, LOL.

beyonce did her thing
letoya at the preshow sucked as hell her backup singers where outshining her now i know why she got kicked out of DC
busta had the best set and performance but eminem took the spotlight
neyo and chrisbrown's performance was so unnecessary
mary j blige and keyshia cole did their things.
prince was mysterious and hideous as usual what kind of song is 3121
mary mary did their thing
fantasia was a hotmesss and i mean what was up with the conehead
i caught herpes just by watching that kiss.flat out gross.
janet looked hot as well but common girl hit the stage.

Beyonce's performance was cool, I enjoyed it but, was not the highlight of the evening, the performance looked rushed, Bey was trying to hard to impress, it was obvious. it was more of the same from her, same look and style. I hope she changes up her style a bit. She is not evolving as an artist in my opinion. The band was a nice touch but, was not ready for last night. The performance was vacant of someone trying to reach iconic proportions.

And, Bey's vocals were prerecorded live but, there is nothing wrong with that she is a performer, you don't have to sing live when you performing like that.

damon wayans whats up with the he-mix of gettin some
this dude is borin as hell "fu**in gay ass mutha fucka"
shawn and marlon would have made better host than him
monique was way better than this gay ass

TJ-
Thank you... aint no way she was gonna drop to the floor and do all that wallowing and them vocals not flinch a bit.

She did her thing, but lets call a spade a spade. She was typical not groundbreaking or any of the other adjectives other media outlets use to describe her.

However if my kickbacks are in the mail then I am ready to say she was simply amazing.

Uh, TJ, Baby...

I'm the BIGGEST Janet fan, however she is certainly lacking in her "visible" performances! I mean it's great to go on TOUR, but where it counts is LIVE performances and they are just too far and few between...

"She hasn't performed Escapade since the 90's".... Man, she performed it during the SUPERBOWL... where were you...?

I'm not taking anything away from Janet (well almost - I'm STILL pissed at the fact that she will not bring it during awards shows; she is content strutting across the stage looking "sexy" as opposed to comin out there and puttin it down like I (and apparently, you) know that she can.

The ONLY reason I watched that show last night was with the hopes that she would "surprise" me by comin out and performing her NEW single with Nelly?

Being a Janet fan aside, as a BUSINESS person, can you agree that it was absolutely insane to not perform when you're trying to "come back up" from a misstep and people are not giving you YOUR props anymore, but giving it to the girls that YOU"VE "christened"??

Can we agree that it was not a smart business move to "cheapen" your already questionable "status" by coming out with JJ, Thelma and Micheal and wasting our time? I mean, really. What WAS the point?

LOL @ Caff...

"I'm shuttin the studio down...until you get me breast milk from a cambodian and some sugar cookies and a midget holding THESE BALLOONS
THESE BALLOONS
THESE BALLOONS

Best moments:
Chris Brown sticking that landing

Eminem

Prince gettin it in on guitar

Damon Wayans not saying another thing on stage

Outkast telling us we get a new Album in August

The women of Gospel represented ...don't they usually do more gospel stuff, or is that reserved for their Gospel awards?

Worse moments
BET hiring one of the Wayans children to do the sound.
...and the other one to host

Crickets and pindrops after his Biggie joke

DMX's verse via satellite...
Is missy on her way back to "Beep Me 911 weight" again?

Soul Man, you hit the nail right on the head, and yes lets retire Beyonce's ass.

Everyone talking about TI and the sound not being good. But in the beginning, he was trying to do was JAYZ did at his Madison Aquare Garden Show. He tried to do the acapella thing, and then gradually build into the performance. That is when the sound went bad. But, I personally think the whole idea was bad in the first place.

Ok,ok, ok, let me run it down for ya'll:

-Mary Mary killed it, their performance was excellent. Definitely one of the best of the evening.

-Beyonce did a great job, however, it was no different than her other performances.

-Jamie Fox was weak, and he was showboating waaaay to damn hard. I honestly can't stand him. I love Fantasia though, but that kiss is going to set the rumor mill in motion.

-Chris Brown was tight. Someone tell me, why was Teairra Mari sitting up in the nosebleed section?

-Keyshia Cole sounded very winded during her performance. She needs to build up her stamina. Also, in my opinion, her stage presence was weak.

-Chaka definitely was on some of that sticky icky before she went onstage. Yolanda Adams did the damn thing.

-Mary J. Blige did ok, nothing spectacular, but I enjoyed her.

-Nemo, I mean Ne-Yo (a.k.k Ghetto Blowfish) was boring. I've seen all the shit he's done a million times before. It's time for these R&B cats to step their game up.

-Busta tore it down. I was so glad to see my girl Rah Digga onstage last night. She is the best female MC ever, besides Lauryn Hill. I hate she didn't get any camera time though. It was good to see Eminem back. I'm glad he's getting through his depression.

-Prince was good, but he should have done some of the classics too.

-Janet looked amazing, but I wish she would have performed, instead of just strutting her ass across the stage.

-T.I. was definitely a professional last night. He held it down even through all the technical difficulties. My homegirl thought it was part of the performance.

-Diddy and Young Joc, good, but uneccesary.

Alright, I think I got it all out LOL.

Well some of you guys took the words right out of my damn mouth.

Damon Wayans, you've been away from your black audience too long and sorry to say, we don't want you back now.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LOL

Dig, I see I wasnt the only one in my living rooms dancing like I was in the club off of Busta's Performance. I now my neighbors downstairs from me was like what the hell is she doing up there.

As far as Bey performance I really liked it. I thought she was going to bust her ass and hurt herself for minute until I realize she wasnt Michelle.

Jamie and Tasia, NO COMMENT

Keisha that's my girl but I am sorry everytime I hear her sing that song it sounds like she is a cat being strained to death. Especially that "I found, I found, I found" part.

Loved Mary J., just hate that bopping shit.

Ok thats enough for now.

@ "markmanuel16" comment that "Janet looked good, but then "common white girl" hit the stage!

How ridiculous is it to suggest that a woman who comes out and speaks utilizing the Kings English and not ebonics is considered "white"... Try this... she speaks like a lady and chooses to enunciate and use her words in the order that they were meant to go in.

In a "perfect" world Janet would have come out and said, "I wanna give a shout out to mah brutha Mike... fukk them hatas!" In reality, she chose to be Janet.

(and I'm wondering where you are from that you honestly believe that "white girls" have a patent on class and speaking well!)

Maybe Janet is simply being Janet, she is of a world that most of us can't really fathom; she didn't just become a singer and get rich suddenly... She was already living in a mansion with servants and maids by the time she was 5... that "white girl" act you see may truly be all that she knows - maybe it's who SHE is.

Busta, busta, busta! Again, his performance was the best by far! His album is even hotter than his performance. He truly came back with a bang! To all the ones who think Busta is old and gone, peep his album and you'll change your mind. Also, he's still one of the best performers still out there.

i hate when people say beyonce got all her stuff from janet jackson cause that is bullshit i mean what record did janet make like "crazy in love" or "naughty girl" "deja vu"??

janet's music is pop bullshit made by jimmy jam and terry lewis she lip syncs it and compensates for her lack of vocal prowess with big ass dance numbers

beyonce make more soulful music she is the only singer out that can hit those notes rolling around on the floor cathcing siezures and shit you look at her preformance last night and you can see she didnt get that from janet beyonce in a class all by her self,

btw the mary preformance was aight touch it had me the most amped and what was up with chris brown suit pants were riding kinda high there

-Chris Brown was tight. Someone tell me, why was Teairra Mari sitting up in the nosebleed section?

^^^^^^^^^^^

Cause she work at Good Burger now, LMAO

I love Keyshia Cole but when I was i.m.ing my friend last night (all thru the show) I kept saying "Lord, please dont let her sing Love" - I am so tired of that song. She shoulda rocked it with You've Changed and tried to get Jay-Z to put a spin on it with her or something since its basically the sequel to Song Cry, LOL. She still my girl doe but she need to ease up on the Feria. Orange dont look good on NOBODY.

Keyshia is banging. I hate that she had to walk the whole stage just to get to the point where she could stand still and blow.

I am looking forward to her reality show.

Lol @ naj

The picture in my head of him drinking the cambodian breastmilk has me rollin right now.

I see I wasnt the only one who peeped the tumbleweeds blowing by after his biggie joke. Missy does look like she fell off the diet train and landed on the gravy boat. -=\

Worse moment of the night:

Puffy's adlibs over Young Joc's song.

Come on,

Would there BE any chick standing on stage dancing to choreographed steps be it NOT for Janet Jackson's "Control", Rhythm Nation, etc?

When people say that Beyonce and Brittany and all of these other chicks doin it and they got their stick from Janet, it's because they DID! Of COURSE we all know that Janet didn't do a "Naughty Girl".... but then nobody said that Beyonce remade a Janet SONG... the premise is that she got her STYLE, everything about her performances from start to finish from Janet Jackson.

Isn't it kind of silly to suggest that because Beyonce has a SONG that's different from Janet's; that she didn't get her STYLE from her?

You know who said that everything Beyonce' does today is because she watched JANET JACKSON do it... BEYONCE!!!!

So even if you can't take it when someone ELSE says it, when Beyonce says it, BELIEVE it!

Why can we always see NeYo's fupa (fat.upper.p*ssy.area.) but never his face? hahahahahha classic

Oh, and PLEEEEEEEEEEASE bring Mo'Nique back next year. Damon Wayans was garbage. Hell, by the sound of it, Mo'Nique is already planning for next year. The way she was talking about Beyonce's performance.

And yes, Beyonce's vocals had to have been pre-recorded live. No one, and I'll say it again, NO ONE can fall on the ground, roll around, chase chickens, clean chitlins, and whatever the hell else she was doing up there and you not hear it in their voice. That's just not possible. Now, part of her performance may have been live, but certain parts pre-recorded, because a lot of performers do that too.

I'm not hating, I'm just keeping it real.

Oouch! Down CJ down!
