2008 BET Awards

BET's biggest nite..Lotta shouting and hype for upcoming drops...Usual stuff.

Usher opened the show with Love in this Club..His hot new single..Once again typical Usher. The song is half over and all he has done is dance..He has not sung one note..His face is in shadows so you cannot see him lip sync. Pretty lame.

Out comes DL Hughley..This is one funny guy...OK he is not funny..What is going on here. He is getting a few smiles from me...Ok he is getting funnier now...

Terrence Howard and Jenn Hudson..She looks so sexy...The match up was odd and forced..

Chris Brown
Raheem DeVaughn
J Holiday
Ne-YO
Trey Songz
I will say Chris Brown..The winner is Chris Brown....Said he is not good at the speech thing and just thanked everyone including the fan..He did a shout out to Lil Wayne bout his new album.

Up next for Young Jeezy...I put on...Sound track in the back but he is rappin it live..That's good.. Joined by Kanye West..Gettin them hyped..Alot of bleeping going on and they are running Kanye through the harmonizer..Did not sound that great..

Winner should be Tiger, but it is Kobe Bryant...Kobe was not here..

Keyisha Coles family doing an intro and saying she is up next. But we go to commercial.

Here she comes doing Heaven sent..Mic problems when she starts out..She is singing live which I like...Its not bad..Little flat in parts but she could have done what most have done.. A guy came out and took her dress off and she was wearing a white hot pants and long white boots..singing let it go..cut to Kanye dancing like a white bro in the crowd..Out pops lil Kim..Love her...Lil K looks good..Not the best performance but the best of the nite so far...

Best Female Hip Hop
Missy
Eve
Kid Sista
Lil Mamma
Trina
Should go to Eve..But goes to Missy E...Missy cannot be there to accept

NEYO up next to perform....Creepy..see if you are a guy, have girls dance with you..Not guys..Finally a few girl dancers come out..Of course they are dressed like hookers because of Hip Hops need to objectify woman..or I guess music in general..I guess it was a good dance routine.

Estelle
Flo Rida
Chrisette
Soul Ja Boy
Prob Flo rida....winner the dream? Upset victory...The dream cannot be there...

DL shouting out to the Queen..Pdiddy, Nelly.. Alicia Keyes...Teenage LOve Affair..Sshe is singing live which I like..dressed like a throwback to the 60's ...I think there is too much dancing going on cause it does not sound too great..Pitchy in parts...Then she starts singing so weak in the knees and out pops out SWV..Then out pops En Vogue singing HOLD ON.. to your love..then to TLC. TBOZ voice sounds horrible..Very very rough..Waterfalls..Once again had the potential to be a great performance but fell short..

Niecy Nash...talking about Madonna and Angelina getting black babies..so she went out and got some white kids...Out pop a few white kids..
