BET... it's Mike's thing!!!

Well well well... Whast can i say this show was RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING!!!I have to give it to them!!! they pulled the whole tribute to Mike thing together in a day!!!!!It is so unfortunate that such an icon as Michael Jackson has passed away leaving behind hundreds of thousands of fans devastated without the chance to see him at his last ever tour This is it! due to take place from the 13th July 2009.Michael Jackson died on the 25th of June 2009 due to a cardiac arrest and since then the media has stirred into a frenzy... Many umm-ing and ahhh-ing whether it was rumours made up by the first news source TMZ who reported it as a definate whilst others such as Sky news, who changed thier headline several times to be the first in Britain with the breaking news... as usual and as expected ( GOSH THEY DIDNT SEEM TO CARE WHETHER IT WAS TRUE OR NOT lol) and the BBC who refused to say anything until they were sure ( IT TOOK A WHILE BUT I HUNG IN THERE WITH THEM I KNEW THEY WOULD BE ACCURATE lol) It was all a little insensitive... no one said the KING OF POP had passed away... but they used words such as he's dead and MJ. It's disrespectful i think... SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE... Many stars showed their mournful respects such as Madonna who paid tribute to the star at her 4th July Concert, but there had to be something even bigger!!! Something more affective. A sign of love from those who were insipred by him in particular, such as r'n'b, motown and soul, jazz and even hip hop artists today... What was the best place for it... THE BET AWARDS 09.The show kicked off with an OK performance by New edition. The singing was terrible!!! but its the thought behind it i guess lolThen Keri Hilson smacked it!!! Here performance was soooo on point... i actually had to get up and try and copy some of those moves she was pulling out of her pockets! She gave it a real 50's theme. She had a big group of girls behind her but they felt like the T-BIRDS from grease the movie. They were soo "cool" i need to stop usin that loser word lol but it's true!!! Then she moved into a like impersonation of BAD with all the girls echoing behind her... it was a bit cheesy cos she didnt have the anger like they kid in the movie MOONWALKER but it was cute! I LOVED IT!!!Moving on we had NE-YO!!!! OH MY DAYZ HE TOOK OFF HIS HAT TO REVEAL HIS HEAD!!!!! shock horror it was amazing... he is sooooo bald!!! I saw it as a real mark of respect to Michael Jackson... that might not be the reason but meh i think so lol.Next things i want to mention... T-PAIN'S BIG ASS CHAIN!!! I love it with a passion... it's like my funky munky chain it's tooo sick!!!!!!!Oh and Soulja boy with his dumbass song!!! It sounded sooo out of tune but everybody loved it... i cudnt believe it.... As much as i think he's sexy it's a dumbass song!!!!! oh wellAnd last but not least!!! MY BOYZ... BEL BIV DEVOE performing the amazing POISON!! GOSH I WAS GOIN NUTZ THE BET CROWD WAS GOING NUTZ THE PERFORMANCE WAS NUTZ!!! icing on the cake!!!There were so many other performances but they just can't be rated.Ciara was ok.. but she shud have danced would have muuuuch better. BEYONCE WAS WACK!!!!!!!! NAH FOR REAL REALLY WACK!!!! And oh the OJAYS who got a recognition awaard were good but uno i'm young didn't know any songs other than Money, Money, Money.
