// June 30th, 2010 // Famous Folks, My Thoughts, What You Should Be Watching

The 2010 BET Awards kicked off last night and for once I can say that BET did a pretty good job. Although last years show was pretty last minute and thrown together because of the sudden death of Michael Jackson, they definitely stepped it up this year. The show, hosted by Queen Latifah, consisted of many surprise guests and comebacks. Prince was honored with a lifetime achievement award and tribute, that really didn’t do it for me personally, but got really good reviews on both twitter and facebook.
Everyone was surprised with the awesome dance tribute to Michael Jackson by Chris Brown. He danced his ass off before getting very emotional and being unable to finish the tribute by singing Michael’’s “Man In the Mirror”.
Queen Latifah had many costume changes to portray some of her most memorable movie and play roles like Cleo from “Set It Off’ and her characters from both “Hairspray” and “Chicago”. All in all she did an awesome job. I’m sure you watched but in case you didn’t peep some of the best performances of the night below:
KANYE’
T.I. performed a song from his new movie “Takers”
B.o.B. featuring Keyshia Cole and Emimen (side note: Keyshia Cole definitely took the award for worst clothes and hair for the night)
Alicia Keys

DIRTY MONEY, RICK ROSS, T.I., AND NICKI MINAJ
DRAKE AND JEEZY
CHRIS BROWN (MJ TRIBUTE)
LUDACRIS/DJ KHALED AND FRIENDS (I say and friends cause it was too many folks on stage to name)
ALICIA KEYS (Prince tribute)
Now I wanna know who’s idea it was for her to hop her pregnant ass up on that piano?!? LAWD please check out Keyshia Cole’s baby daddy Boobie Gibson’s face at the 2:18 mark!!! I had the same look on my face.
JANELLA MONAE’ (Prince tribute)
In my opinion this was hands down the worst performance of the night. I know how Janelle Monae’ gets down and she may have been excited and everything but baby girl did wayyyyyy to much for this performance. Try again next year.
PATTI LABELLE (Prince tribute)
Trey Songz also performed his new single “Your Side Of The Bed”, a little of Prince’s “Purple Rain”, and Esperanza Spalding also played a Prince song during the tribute. Great show BET!
