    Mariah!!

    They clearly did bring out the divas for the Whitney tribute – Mariah, Chaka.. I was skeptical of whether BET could pull off a good tribute for Whitney but they did! I was skeptical about the entire “awards” show quite frankly – so I decided to only tune in for the end of the show (the tribute) and watch any decent performances here. The performances were actually great last night! Melanie Fiona!! Wow! Best of the night, imo. I enjoyed Usher’s performance as well as the G.O.O.D. music segment. Chris Brown didn’t lip sync which was quite refreshing. And Nicki’s performance wasn’t bad at all.

    BET did great last night! The Whitney tribute was beautiful. Monica and Brandy both did their thang! I am glad that they got to sang for their mentor and friend.

    Um somebody needs to tell Chris Brown instead of getting into beefs he needs to invest that time in some vocal lessons. He’s cute but that’s about it and that can only take you but so far.

    chris… that performance was terrible. He does need to work on his live vocals more. I mean all that dancing and illuminati imagery is cool and all but what about yo singing bruh? He could be so much more than this. He needs to sepnd more time training his voice than spending his money on his leeching ass friends.

    The Whitney Tribute was the highlight of the night. Monica delivered a soulful and emotional performance and Brandy was absolutely fierce and I do mean fierce! Great tribute.
