The HighLights and the Low Lights, and the ISH we won't remember from the BET Awards 2010

Alright so I'm an entertainment journalist right, so it would be wise of me to put up a post of the Coon Awards 2010...I mean 2010 BET Awards :) Now valid that I don't really believe in anything BET stands for,watching the show last night and wildin' out on Twitter, I must say that it was better than I expected it to be. There were performances by Kanye,who didn't come down off his mountain during his opening act, but still killed it.
Alicia's prego self was grinding on top of a piano, Prince gave Trey Songz the screw face when Trey tried to sing one of his songs, and no one could understand Nicki as usual or her 5th Element Movie inspired outfit.

Highlights:

Hands down Chris Brown's Michael Jackson Tribute...I think that MJ was smiling in Heaven on this one ya'll...not a dry eye in the room, including Chris Brown's. Check it out below!


Prince Tribute done by Patti Labelle, Janelle Monae, Esperanza Spaudling,and Alicia Keys. These wonderful women murdered it! Patti kicked off them shoes and it was all over!




El Debarge even graced the stage, although random as hell, he proved to the audience that he still got those signature soprano pipes!

Jada Pinkett Legs- you couldn't tell she was 4 foot nothing with those short shorts and stilettos LEGS FOR DAYS! Beautiful!

Eminen's Performance-one of the hottest lyricist to touch a mic

T.I. came so strong on his performance, with Travis Barker on the drums...can't wait to get his album.



Fred Hammond, Yolanda Adams, Kim Burrel, and Kieara SHeard sing "Are you listeng" for the relief efforts in Haiti.

Queen Latifah's opening act, she straight clowned Swizz saying she hopes the baby looks like her mother, and calling out Usher for only dating women who have reached menopause. LOL Hilarious then she reminded everyone why her name begins with Queen by ripping a couple bars over Drake's "Forever" track.

Nia Long and Larenze Tate doing a throwback scene from "Love Jones".

Lowlights:

Rocsi and Terrence kissing and then f-ing up the presentation of the Viewer's Choice award...and I'm almost positive that the fan that was on stage with them had on a denim suit.

Trey Songz trying to sing one of Prince's songs. He should want to go hide under a rock after the face Prince gave him.



When Usher hit that one high note, other than he was good.

Prince's date.

Everyone's wardrobe choices...it was a frenzie of fashion faux paus! Everything from Rocsi's dress (both of them), to Derbra Lee's easter pink feather f-up, to Laura London's extra regular liquid leggings, to Monica's Bat Wings for shoulder pads to Carmello's cargo pants... I can go on and on and on.

Keyshia Cole's bangs. Still love her though :)


John Legends roller coaster of a hair line. Still love him too! Congrats on the Humanitarian award...Sidebar:... but can we raise $1.5 million for America?...last time I checked we were 1 oil spill, 1 recession, lowest unempolyment rate in years, 1 war, and 1 insubordinate general away from being a 3rd world country....just saying.


The ISH we won't remember:

Dirty Money's performance.

That Nicki Minaj tried to clown Lil' Kim...Nicki fall back you aint there yet boo...


Tyrese even graced the stage with a tribute to Teddy Pendergrass, it was good, but just not memorable.

Todd Bridges came out to say a couple kind words about Gary Coleman, and even threw in this little gem of ignorance "even when I was in jail they would say What you talking about Willis?". SMDH

Mike Epps ode to the 90's with his pager and Mecca jacket. Stupid.

None of the artists from Music Matters... because BET cut to commercial after the first 10 secs.

Any of those humanitarians who stood on display who weren't allowed to say anything while someone more famous spoke at the mic. I would like to, but I was more concerned as to why they set it up that way.

Those Travelista chicks...even though they got a sweet little gig going on.

Any of the 106th and Park pre-show performances...lackluster to say the least...with the exception of B.O.B.

Jeezy and Drake's performance surprisingly...I was sitting here like "damn they did perform huh?"

I'm sure there's more..I just can't remember the shit...if I miss anything in any of the categories... let me know in the comments below! :)

  1. Wait a second you thought the Divas killed the Prince tribute? If it wasn't for Mrs. Labelle I think Prince would got up on stage, torn hip and all, and took over the performance lol.

    Nah great write up on the 2010 Coonery Awards. Next up the 10th year anniversary 106 and the Projects lol.
