Ciara definitely brought it! She never dissapoints on stage. The vocals weren’t as good as I would have hoped them to, but that’s not what most people like about her. She gets an A for effort as far as that goes. But home girl can dance her ass off and put on a show! But her live voice is improving I might add. She performed “Like A Boy” and went into “That’s Right” – which I personally think should be the next single instead of “Can’t Leave ‘Em Alone.” But if she wants to be with HER BOO, then let her be…
James Brown! The Godfather of Soul! His death hit the industry pretty hard. But the BET Awards was not a place to mope around and be sad. Public Enemy brought the heat with a tribute performance to the Godfather ending with “Say It Loud (I’m Black and I’m Proud) – the song that makes us black folk proud to be black folk, and for good reason too!!
And last but not least, the encore performance. Public enemy (along with a bunch of random people) ended the show appropriately. The BET Awards were great this year, and I am proud to be black! They need to keep it up, because they definitely cannot slack off next year. All of the performances were great, and Mo’Nique definitely held it down as the host. Can’t wait ’til next year’s show!! Oh yeah … if you missed it, it will re-air this Friday!
