Guys please don't forget how refreshing it was to see and HEAR Tevin Campbell sing! I thought he was awesome, he did some awesome runs and he still can sing! I hope Grammy and other shows invite him to do some Michael ballads when they honor Michael.

Classic Whitney

Emory,
You should take everyone's comments with a grain of salt considering this message board is filled with people offering thier opinion and perspective on the issues at hand. I enjoyed the show because I was able to see a number of performers I grew up listening to -- Keith Sweat, New Edition, BBD, O'Jays, Tevin Campbell, Chaka Kahn, Johnny Gill, Maxwell..... There were some elements of the show that I felt was bad but overall the show provided me with a sense of nostalgia and I was happy with that. We can sit all day and criticize things because we don't like them but its a more daunting task when you try to find some positives in things we weren't greatly pleased with -- I prefer the challenge. If Whitney had showed up, I'm sure many of the posters would have a totally different take on the show. |

I videotaped the show. Having just now watched about 90 percent of it, I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's pretty good if you ask me. (Maybe
fast-forwarding through rappers helps!) Jamie Foxx is funny. Tyrese wrecked "Stairway To Heaven", Beyonce's vocals were glorious, Ne-Yo and that
gal who sang Heal The World were quite good. Even if I didn't like it, after listening to Debra Lee talk about the effort that went into remaking the show
in a mere three days, I would cut them some slack.

Beyonce's voice to me is really nothing spectacular... She always sounds the same... I guess I am just bored with her. Now, I was so impressed with Tevin,
his tone of voice is very much there and he really didn't come across as nervous, especially since this is the first time in a looooooooooong time he has
performed in what is a supposed to be one of the big events of the year. I certainly hope someone can get him a record deal because, he really can sing! Forget
the past, lets save the true singers. The rappers and hip hop folks have really destroyed music. I sure wish that this style of music fades really fast.
Michael wherever you are, if you can make it happen, lets get those who can sing back on stage.

I thought the speech Eddie Levert gave was funnier then Jamie's entire routine. That man had me laughing with his "... and S***.. oops!"

You know if Luther had no problem telling Aretha, Dionne, Diana, Whitney, Mariah what he wanted them to sing like, Beyonce would get the full treatment as well. Listen to the two of them singing together all of Beyonce vocal tricks were replace with straight ahead singing/vocals. I near that Luther would never take her tricks as singing. I can only recall her doing that recently on "Listen" from Dreamgirls, singing on note!! But Beyonce is a star and deserves that respect. |

Beyonce didn't trot out many of her vocal "tricks" on the BET Awards--that's why I enjoyed her performance so much.

BET really doesn't make any sense to me sometimes. They could've easily asked Monica to sing "Heal The World" since she was already scheduled
to perform. Ciara cannot sing to save her life.

Tevin was great and he looks waaaay better than I've seen him in recent years. I don't know about ya'll but I'm actually happy Whitney
wasn't a part of that mess. That was no place to make a comeback performance. It wouldn't have been about her anyway.

BET Awards, Jon & Kate make cable competitiveNEW YORK - The distinctions between broadcast and cable TV are crumbling, and that's never been clearer than in the past week. Sunday's BET Awards were seen by 10.7 million viewers. That's more than any other program on a cable this year, narrowly beating last Monday's divorce edition of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8." http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...0/ap_en_tv/us_nielsens_1 |
