BET AWARDS: Finally the Michael Jackson Tribute. Janet Jackson said: to us he’s an icon, to them he’s family. Wow, that almost got me. But it wasn’t a tribute all the stories that leaked from L.A. panned out to be untrue, or not as exciting as the hype. It ended with a Jaime Foxx & Ne-Yo duet.
BET AWARDS: Alicia Keys and Wyclef receive humanitarian awards for their global philanthropy, and Tiny accepts viewer’s choice awards on behalf of T.I.
BET AWARDS: Tyrese, Tevin, Campbell, Trey Songz, and Johnny Gill did a tribute to the O’Jays. Whoa! I forget them can sing like that. Kanye West, Amber Rose, and Diddy were all grooving to the O’Jays
BET AWARDS: Old School performances by Keith Sweat, Guy, and Bell Biv Devoe; Plus Keyshia Cole and Monica Duet
BET AWARDS:Kanye West & Amber Rose dancing to Soulja Boy, Beyonce performs Ave Maria, and In The Arms of Angel:
BET AWARDS: Jaime Fox changes into the Billie Jean Michael Jackson outfit, Keri Hilson performs two of her hits, and Ne-Yo without a hat performs Lady of My Life.
BET AWARDS: Jaime Fox opens with the Beat It dance sequence, and moonwalks across the stage.
BET AWARDS: New Edition opens with a Jackson 5 routine, all six of them Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph, & Johnny, too, but the sound is off.
UPDATE: LeToya Luckett performs at the pre-show, so that answers the question. She will not be sharing the same stage as Beyonce.
The BET Awards is just hours away and I will bring you all the latest updates, photos, and spoilers. If you can’t watch or don’t have access to BET, then this is definitely the place to be. If you don’t have a twitter account, now is the time. If you do have a twitter account, you can follow me:

I am so hurt right now! Seriously hurt…how could they call that a tribute to MJ. That foolery was embarassing. The only good parts were Beyonce and Trey Songz, Tyrese, and Johnny Gill. Horrible! Well leave it to the white ppl to do it “right”!

Why can’t our folk do this in an admirable fashion? Well, I guess first you have to acknowledge that it’s BET. That in and of itself is off-putting enough.
I only caught some of the show. Was all of it as garrulous and borish?
Look at little Tevin!
Usher didn’t perform, right? I though he and Justin Timberlake were glaring omissions if this was supposed to be a tribute to MJ. BET should have “manned up” and let Chris Brown do his thing, as well. Can you imagine all three of them on stage at the same time hittin’ some Michael Jackson?! Now that would’ve been worth watching!
Jamie, please pick a profession and develop it to its fullest. You’re pretty mediocre at comedy as well as singing right now, brah.
I’m embarrassed to be of the same race as Dwayne Carter. (I refuse to call a grown, talentless by his stage moniker on the night that a giant such a MJ was supposed to have been honored.)

OH! And why did Wyclef have to dis Alicia Keys (“I not gon’ pull that Alicia stunt…”) when he came on stage?! Why couldn’t he just do him and move on?! That was so petty.

@ Anon Nupe:
I saw you on twitter in the end, but no you didn’t miss anything, except maybe the tribute to the O’Jays. That whole section was funny and full of talent.
I still can’t figure out a lot of choices, and I know it’s hard judging from the outside, but sometimes less is more. Less Lil Wayne, and more Chris Brown controversy would have been nice.

That still doesn’t explain why Usher and Justin Timberlake were missing, shoot, even Omarion and B2K would have worked.

I think I missed that what did Wyclef say about Alicia Keys, by this point, I was tuning out.

@ Quick
The whole O’Jays tribute was good from Don Cornelius to Eddie Levert’s censor slip.

Hey Guys.Your right. I dont think the show was all that either as far as the tribute to MJ. They could have done alot better than that. It seemed very all over the place and unorganized.
Beyonce played herself with that whole performance and Jamie Fox really over did it the entire time but there was more good stuff than mentioned.
Anyway I was hoping that because they were BET they were gunna represent for MJ better. I got bored and stopped watching the whole thing though.

The BET awards was soooo ignorant. I am in disbelief of how unorganized something that should have been so special and memorable turned out to be.Most ignorant: Lil Wayne and Young Money with those PRE-ADOLESCENT GIRLS onstage dancing to that ratchett song. Smh. Worst performance: Ciara, sounded like and injured wolf cub howling for help. Best performance: Jay-Z Death of Autotune. Best MJ “tribute” performance:Ne-Yo Lady of My Life.
