I normally don't bother to watch the BET Awards because I can't stand watching ghetto behind people patting themselves on the back for 2 hours. Oh, I don't like some of the celebrities either. I made an exception this year since Prince was going to perform and Chaka Khan was receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award (sing it with me I'm Every Woman). I was dismayed to discover that they had now added a red carpet show, 2 more hours of Negroes with no talent patting themselves on the back while kissing up to the so-called talents. Here's my take of the award show:
Chaka Khan - Her set was great with Prince (that purple outfit was hot) on guitar and Stevie [Wonder] on keyboard. India Arie and Yolanda sang some. Umm, I can't remember which song Yolanda did (which tells you just how great it was), but she should just stick with the gospel.
Prince - The Purple Wonder's performance at the end was hot, although he could have done without tossing the mic to Will.I. Aint uhh, I mean Am. Will.I. Am. (Gag). I don't know why but he just doesn't set well with my spirit. Hopefully, Prince won't make that mistake twice.
Highlight of the Night - Kirk Franklin won the Best Gospel Award. He failed to start his speech with the "I'd like to thank/give honor to God routine." Instead he, thanked his wife, kids, labels, singers, musicians (wait for it...) then ends with "Jesus, I thank you not with my words but by the way I live". For those of you missing the punchline, Franklin admitted he was addicted to porn last November on Oprah. First thing I said after hearing that speech was "What, does that mean he was thanking God while he was whacking off in the hotel room?"
Yeah, I know. I'm going to hell with gasoline soaked drawers.
Update: Gah, now there's an hour long back patting show, Black Carpet Lounge. See this is what happens when you let a bunch of ghetto behind people have their own channel.
