Since I can't sleep, I guess I will go ahead and give my critique of this years BET awards. I will admit this that the first BET awards back in 2001 had a sister worried about uncertain future of a annual water downed and cheap looking award show. However, since they moved it to LA instead of Las Vegas it has gotten better.

The best part about the BET awards compared to other awards are the tributes. They are so moving and nostalgic. The Gerald Levert one; AMAZING! Teary eyes. I do wish the Diana Ross tribute was a little longer, because she had way too many hits for the tribute to squashed down to just 3 or 4 songs. Either way it was good and it was lovely to see and hear such a humbling speech from "The Boss" "The Original Diva": Ms. Ross! However, I loss a $5 bet with my neighbor, because I just KNEW Beyonce was going to be a surprised performance in that tribute. Unfortunately, she wasn't. That would have been hot and perfect, though!!

The other performances I found myself flipping briefly to other channels through them, but they were still good. The performance that really had a sista about to chunk her super heavy Directtv remote at the screen was the Beyonce/DC3/Kelly Rowland performance. Don't get it twisted, the Beyonce performance was pretty hot, but I did miss her intro but thank goodness for YouTube. The part that really ticked me off was the afterthought-esque performance from Kelly. When I heard she was going to perform I was happy that she was FINALLY going to get her solo shine on. Big disappointment.

Instead it seemed her "performance" was thrown in. She NEEDS her solo shine, Music World/Columbia!!!

Fashion tommorrow.

Stay Stylish!
