Aw Hell, The BET Awards Came On Again

Posted on by

I've really got to meet more white people so I can do MTV instead.

I remember a few years ago, BET seems to have begun to turn a corner. The Awards show which had long been associated with pure f*ckery and general shame had almost gained a bit of legitimacy.

But with Twitter at its apex, BET decided to have as much ridamndiculousness as possible this year. And you know what that means: Black Twitter almost exploded. Luckily BET always has a gospel segment which is where 90 percent of people check out and go to the bathroom, buy some drugs, or call their mothers.

By the way, as I’m writing this I just heard somebody say that Patti LaBelle’s voice is the most powerful voice on earth. Ain’t that right, boo? #true

Anyway, I had no intention of writing about the BET awards, but since I decided to watch it, I feel compelled because of the amount of f*cksh*t I’ve observed. So allow me to tell you about a little of it…my observations.

Why did Cee-lo put on a porcupine, feather, cap wig and purple shoes…THEN have the nerve to curse while wearing the gayest pastor coat in history?

Marsha Amborsius – bless her heart – has no booty whatsoever. I often wonder if women with no booty go to sleep every night and hope to wake up with a booty. Not even a big ole ass, just something well proportioned to the rest of her body. I’m a formerly Black man (thanks to Cee-lo and his get up I quit the Black race) so the hindparts are necessary to some extent. Marsha does have nice legs though with her spray on tan.

What the f*ck was up with everybody singing off key? It’s like everybody forgot to do a sound check AND the sound engineer quit right before the show over money. Alicia Keys sounded a little more of husky voice than usual AND was off key. Basically she sounded like The-Dream if he were to ever hit puberty.

Speaking of WTFness, what was up with all the profanity during the show? Aren’t they supposed to do the clean versions of songs? And if you’re going to do that for a Black awards show, you need a 30 second delay, not a 2 second delay like they were using. I feel like my TV cursed me out. And I didn’t like it. Stop it, television. I bought you TAKE THE FADE N*GGA!!!! TAKE THE FADE!!!!

I love how Chris Brown made a joke at his own expense. I really think that Chris Brown can totally redeem his career if he keeps on putting out dope music (which he’s been doing) and learns to enjoy life and laugh at himself and stays far and far away from all forms of social networking that don’t require him to run his words through at least 2 PR reps and a white woman.

Ain’t gonna lie to you, I’d marry Patti LaBelle right now. Jill Scott too. Oh and by the way since we’re talking about necks (we are now), can somebody find Gladys Knight’s neck? Did a Pip take it?

I don’t know if you all know how much I hate Kelly Rowland’s song “Motivation”. But I do. A lot. I think she sounds like pure D sh*t singing on it. And yet, her live rendition was…well, dope. She gave one of the better vocal performances that I’d seen during the night. Amazing. I’d totally bang her out.

Johnny Gill. Stop it.

Steve Harvey, for all of the non-sense we attribute to him really is worthy of getting an award for being a humanitarian. He hasn’t personally made my life any better but I’m sure somebody’s gotten further along because of him. And dude really does care about family values and manhood. It’s why he’s keeping so many women single…so he can focus on the men. <—-its like I just praised him AND threw him under the bus at the exact same time. Panama? Stop it.

I don’t care what anybody says, Rick Ross looked like he lost 738 pounds with that white Louis Vuitton suit he had on. I could barely see him. He was like a sliver of his former self. Wait…what?

The Nicki Minaj and Justin Beiber exchange was about as awkward and inappropriate as you can get at an awards show before somebody calls the police. Between that and Lil Wayne et al. bringing out a bunch of 12 year olds while singing, “…I wish I could f*ck every girl in the world…” last year (or a few years ago whenever), the entire Young Money camp needs to be on somebody’s watchlist. Not like a terrorist list, but a list nonetheless.

That poor Viewer’s Choice winner announcer, I won’t even add her name here…man she f*cked up so royally. Like, there are f*ckups but then there are f*ckups like she had. Thing is I couldn’t even tell who’s fault it was. I think I’ll just blame BET, because well, anytime BET is a possible culprit, it’s BET’s fault. Thing is…after she f*cked up and knew she f*cked up…she should have said something like, “go f*ck  yourself San Diego”, “Dip Set b*tch” or “Suck it” then threw the mic on the ground and walked off. You know you’ve done bad when even Drake won’t hug you and sing you a song about his insecurities.

This Beyonce performance sh*t was SUCH a copout but genius marketing move on her part. She doesn’t have to do anything but add an extra camera to her set to stream back to the BET awards. All it cost her was a “what’s up BET” shoutout. Oh well, that’s why BET stays losing. That and because Debra Lee buys her dresses from Lowe’s. Add to the fact that this was CLEARLY not live since ya know, its like 4am in London town when that aired.

Speaking of Beyonce, and I feel like we mentioned this here before…she might be the hottest celebrity that I have no desire ever to want to see naked. I’d be much more inclined to see Kelly in the buff with her legs reaching for the sky than Beyonce. She has like zero sex appeal to me. That is odd, like a Lil Wayne outfit. By the way Wayne, Andre 3000 called, he asked if you’d stop stealing his 1998 steez and be original.

I think that’s enough for now…sound off. I know you watched the Awards….good, bad, ugly?

What were your observations?

Talk to me.

  1. Shirley Caesar had on a gahtdamb CAPE on her quincenera dress. I couldn’t handle it.

    Bey’s performance was from HOURS before the show. It’s been on youtube for hours. They are sooo bootleg.

    I’ll be back w/ more. I need to write my BET Awards blogpost recap.

              This was me last night on fbook and no one had any direction. :-( Yeah, it’ll be on again, but I feel like if BET has any sense, they’ll get rid of that segment. Then again, it’s BET….

        • That poor girl Tiffany. They said after the show that it was BET’s own fault, she read the right name (Chris Brown), then the teleprompter said Rihanna, and then Drake came out. I’m actually surprised that BET would admit they screwed up instead of just letting little Tiff take the L.

          Also, speaking of technical difficulties, it wasn’t that all the artists were cursing (as Panama suggested) it’s just that BET goes censor happy ever year with preemptive strikes. Which makes for really awkward and annoying performances.

          • i watched smidgets of the show and one part happened to be DJ Khaled n Drake doin “I’m on One” (is “im on one” like the new black ppls saying for winning btw) and they censored half drakes verse…its like do the radio version or dont do it at all, i feel like im in Pootie Tang jamming to no sound

          • i dont know…all the arists were cursing but its like BET couldn’t keep up with them. so they kept missing stuff and then just bleeping out damn near entire performances. lol. why not just tell the folks DON’T CURSE.

    • I vowed never to watch another BET award show from the age of 13 own. I wish for my demise to be a the hands of a more skillful demon than that know as BET.

    • If you’re on Twitter or Facebook, you didn’t need to see it. I don’t know people waste money on cable…I get a play-by-play on every major TV event for free.
      …and I don’t even have a TV

    • As bad as BET is…Viacom is not gonna risk the backlash of taking it off the air…last thing they want is Jesse and Al outside they office acting like black ppl are at a loss with no BET

    • you think so? i actually think that its more like…ninjas with nice things just dont know how to make BET awards shows NOT be ghetto. something along those lines. we produce the show…we could make it dope…i think we just ignant.

      Reply ↓

      • It’s more just being cot-damn lazy than ignant. It seemed like the show was a smash-up of everybody that did crazy tabloid ish and got called out on all the gossip sites (you know the ones I am talking about). Debra Lee needs to be slapped in her temple for just slapping together all the random bufoonery that is heaped on the show.

        And somebody get Alexander O’Neal some teeth from Affordable Dentures or something! How you gonna honor this man by having him on the show and won’t at least spring for some decent chiclets?

  6. Kevin Hart’s jokes–A+, he was on point

    Marsha Ambrious (or however you spell it) sounded like a middle aged British white woman when she opened her mouth for the speaking voice. Singing voice, yes…speaking, no.

    Chris Brown, dare I say, I loved him. I did. Didn’t like those pants though. Like at all.

    I’m not a Bey stan…so I’ll just leave her alone.

    Loved the opening with K. Hart. Some Iotas probably helped him cuz they are the only ones who go hard cuz, well, they’re not a legitimate frat so they have to. LMAO.

    And speaking of ass Free’s ass seemed to have it’s own zip code…ridiculous

      That’s cause Miss Marsha Ambrosius is British. I don’t think she sounds THAT bad, but then again, the number of times I heard her speak were few and far in-between.

      Chris Brown, dare I say, I loved him. I did. Didn’t like those pants though. Like at all.

      I believe his pants carried the heads of his previous Rihanna rebounds.

      Too soon?

  8. *ahem* :D

    1) I’m tired of seeing Beyonce’s vulva. I don’t recall ever seeing her perform in pants.
    2) Tiffany Green – v. The action of making multiple mistakes in a 5 to 15 second window.
    3) Aubrey Drake Graham. Lord, I’d marry him. Hell, I’d pull a Chrissy with no shame.
    4) The censor button guy must’ve not known one lyric.
    5) Speakin of censored, how’d they miss every curse word the entire show, but can’t censor Ross’ t*tties?
    6) Ms. Patti is everything.
    7) Chris Brown, Rick Ross, and DJ Khaled featuring the BET Awards.
    8) Trey Songz ripping that shirt off five seconds in. Really sir? Really? Beige Greyhound.
    9) Kelly getting her inner Janet out. Bout damn time.
    10) Kevin Hart: Shortest host ever?

  9. I didn’t watch the EBT Awards, and I am salty in general at tape delayed award shows since I miss all the fun on Twitter (to my knowledge, only the Oscars and Golden Globes are live nationwide) Anyway though, I don’t have a f*ck to give about any of the nominees, I mean Racks on Racks? JCole is STILL a new artist? Boo. I’m just mad I missed Shirley Caesar.

      • The funny thing is there really was a show like that (don’t remember the title) but Ron Ron from A Different World is with (not married to) Tempestt Bledsoe. She was out working…? (this was before she was on Clean House) while he stayed home with his kids. Not their kids, his kids.
