    what happenend to best female R&B and video of the year???

  2. Delvin Jordan June 27, 2011

    I’m sooooo confused! What happened to “Best Female R&B Artist??”

  3. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA & BEYODEL’S OWNER June 27, 2011

    Can someone plz tell BET that Rihanna is not and has never been an R&B artist. Just because the girl is black, doesn’t mean she makes R&B music!

  4. mindgames June 27, 2011

    wack

  5. Tru June 27, 2011

    Predictable Politics
    BET is just another old boys club
    nothing to see here move along

  6. Legendtina4life June 27, 2011

    Rihanna is NOT f****** R&B. Shes pop, just like Ke$ha and Katy Perry.

    And Diamond should have won Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. She shits all over Nicki

  7. WONDA June 27, 2011

    OMG CONGRATS TO CHRIS ON HIS EBT AWARDS!
    MAYBE ONE DAY THEY’LL BE GRAMMY’S IN HIS HANDS AND NOT A PLASTIC TOY WAND GLUED ONTO SOME CARDBOARD SPRAYPAINTED SILVER.

  8. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA & BEYODEL’S OWNER June 27, 2011

    @ Wonda

    LMAO! U so wrong for dat!

  9. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA & BEYODEL’S OWNER June 27, 2011

    @ LegendTina4Life

    Are we talking about the same DIamond who has lyrics like “swagga on a hundred thousand trillion, roll wit bad b****** and they all look brazilian”! What does that even mean?!

  10. Beyonce and Cb fan June 27, 2011

    Go CB!

  11. Legendtina4life June 27, 2011

    @DC3BKM
    They make more sense than “When I was a Geisha he was a Samari, somehow I understood him when he spoke Thai”

    Geishas and Samaris are Japenese

  12. Legendtina4life June 27, 2011

    And what the f*** is a TomTom? LMFAO, they asked Nicki and Sean Garrett that question on 106 & Park and they didnt answer

  13. Esther_minajfan June 27, 2011

    I knew Nicki would win! Nicki wins, tha haters lose! Hahahahaha

  14. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA & BEYODEL’S OWNER June 27, 2011

    @ LegendTina4Life

    Lol! U got me there! I honestly looked up TomTom to see what she was talking about, but all that came up was a GPS system. lol

  15. Haiku June 27, 2011

    @Legend

    No those lyrics dont make sense. Most of her lyrics dont.
    n
    a TomTom is a Sat Nav in the UK and also a type of drum lol

  16. nice_gurl June 27, 2011

    Rihanna only makes a few R&B songs. She is mostly known for pop songs, so why would they have her nominated in that category? I was also surprised by sportsman of the year. I thought it would be either Kobe or LeBron. Also congrats to Patti Labelle for getting Lifetime Achievement Award, she is so deserving of that, and also to Marsha Ambrosius for gettin Centric Award. I really wanted Marsha to get an award because she is really talented.

  17. Queen Beyonce Stann June 27, 2011

    Michael Vick Won?? Fugly Animal Abuser MOFO!

    Rihanna? B**** Is Pop Not R&B

    Tinie Tempah Is A JOKE! VV Brown Should Of Won!

    Either WAY The BET’s Tonight Were HORRIBLE!
    *Waits For The VMA’s*

  20. PYTFROMAL June 27, 2011

    I wasn’t impressed as usual. LMAO@ Wonda

  21. noodles June 27, 2011

    I love how Rihanna fans make fun of BET. Rihanna sounds mighty excited she won Viewers Choice though…but opps she DIDN’T! My mistake.

    Funny because ya’ll seem to forget that when everyone was bashing Man Down it was “EBT” that defended it and decaded a show to supporting the video. It’s funny how BET only isn’t s*** when things don’t go your way. Now don’t get me wrong BET be trying it plenty of times but I just don’t understand how you can diss the whole network. No matter how ratchet they can be sometimes remember they have helped and supported many of your faves. But idk why you would be concerned about Chris. Rihanna won an Award too so what is the point? Smh.

    And as far as I’m concerned an Award is an Award as long as it gets counted to the list professional Awards you have rechieved which they will so the “plastic toy” still counts. Congrats Chris!

    I’m still re watching his performance. Him singing She Ain’t You at the beginning and him flipping off stage at the end and just walking off!!!! Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. noodles June 27, 2011

    Oh and Kelly, Beyonce, Trey, everyone was pretty good I can’t think of a performance that made me wanna turn off the TV so I think BET Awards delievered this year minus that ratchet moment towards the end of the show *side eyes*

  23. Jordan June 27, 2011

    Basic Ass awards show

  24. The Perrylicious+Godney+RiRi is taking over… June 27, 2011

    Please,… this awards for Black people.
    Who cares? Is it still relevant in 2011?
    Come on, get a life…

  25. Geronimo Deuces June 27, 2011

    i was so happy for chris…….

  26. GREG June 27, 2011

    Kelly took dat s*** tonight…..had me on my feet ….go go go gooo

  27. dreamoobox June 27, 2011

    I saw something different with this on another blog. Youve obviously spent some time about this. Congratulations!

  28. Andrew June 27, 2011

    YEEYEE CBREEZY! 😀
    …why did Rihanna win R&B? She’s pop..and she can’t sing..

  29. YOUR Queen! June 27, 2011

    BET is a f****** mess! Absolutely horrible. Worst awards show of the music industry, they can’t do s*** right. Donkey c*** covered in fungi and puss > BET.

  30. The Man June 27, 2011

    Best Female r&b is usually a focal point, why did they take that out, they knew that people would be outrage with Rihanna winning. They are full of sh*t. They should have given that to Marsha. It’s like music with substance is to mature for them. They just didn’t wanna deal with people saying that somebody else should have gotten that award instead of Rihanna.

  31. The Man June 27, 2011

    BET is full of sh*t. They just didn’t want people saying nothing about Rihanna winning. Marsha should have won. They think by giving real r&b artists the Centric award that that means something. Marsha deserved both.

  32. The Man June 27, 2011

    Kelly was AMAZING. THE BEST !!!

  33. NICK June 27, 2011

    chile Chris Brown, really?….

  34. ItsTT June 27, 2011

    Nicki’s talking about Tommy Guns when she says TomTom’s in Massive Attack.

  35. YOOSONDALOOSE June 27, 2011

    Predictable. But well done!

  36. XS June 27, 2011

    @legendtina4life
    tomtom is a tommy gun

  37. u-jealous June 27, 2011

    I only watched 30 mins of this WACK-RIGGED UP HOT GHETTO MESS.BEEN STOPPED WATCHING BET LONG TIME AGO. No shockers though-only the expected. rig up the awards for beat her down troll-lol and be ugly to Rihanna.So glad she didin’t go to this mess.RIHANNA=STILL WINNING:)!

  38. u-jealous June 27, 2011

    p.s>BET-GOD DON’T LIKE UGLY:(

  39. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) June 27, 2011

    Centric Award???? Ties for awards???? BET is the only show where you’ll see people tying in categories.If they don’t take themselves seriously enough to select ONE winner, how can WE supposed to take them seriously???

  40. ITS ME June 27, 2011

    OMG, can the BET awards get any worse. This was handsdown a talentless awards show, and with all the new performers out now, why was Alicia Keys on stage singing old songs…I mean WTH.

    Kelly was actually the best performer, minus taking her shirt off. CBrown did alright too, but I thought he should have performed Beautiful People opposed to Look At Me Now with all the beeping out of words.

  41. Ciana June 27, 2011

    i read somewhere that Jennifer Hudson won female R&B not rihanna

  42. rihannaCKB June 27, 2011

    The Perrylicious+Godney+RiRi is taking over…

    Come on, get a life…
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Is it still relevant? That’s funny coming from a RihannaNavy because when Rih and the fans thought she had won we were all happy. Now that we know that she was not the winner you here talking big s***. We really don’t need someone like you in the Navy period. Mind you I know who you are because people form of words don’t change. When you are at RihDaily you try to be in control and it’s annoying. To come on here and say that s*** about the black race is racist and let me mind you Rih is BLACK

  43. D June 27, 2011

    BEST FEMALE RNB WENT TO JENNIFER HUDSON

    SORRY RIHANNA YOU GOT DUPED AGAIN

  44. rihannaCKB June 27, 2011

    I hate when you people sit here and put the black race down. I really have a problem with that. I’m a Rih fan and she is a black women but you want to come here and talk about her race of people. SMH

  45. ole skool June 27, 2011

    as expected Black america rewards men who beat women and have major anger issues… so typical… glad I did not watch

  47. Truthfully June 27, 2011

    Amen!!!@ RIHANNACKB R&B/HipHop had the music industry on lock for like two decades. House,Pop, and techno just started taking over in the us again. However the last time that happened it only lasted about 5 years….

  48. lola June 27, 2011

    Viewers choice awards – Rihanna ft Drake not Chris brwon

  49. MC June 27, 2011

    BET Awards 2011: The night Kelly Rowland GRADUATED as a solo performer, AMAZING!!! I didnt kno she had it in her!!

  50. Coockie June 27, 2011

  51. Skin. June 27, 2011

    Rihanna is much better then Beyonce , people!!!
    Well Done , Ri Ri ! 😀

  52. Those That Cannot Do, Stan June 27, 2011

    Still trying to figure out why if Chris won they were already playing Rihanna’s song, best female r&b artist disappeared. What happened there? Also I wasn’t hurting for a Minaj performance but TGJ said she’d be performing so what happened there?

  53. mobwife….baa, boo hoo….baa June 27, 2011

    Still trying to figure out why if Chris won they were already playing Rihanna’s song,
    *************************
    They did something new this year and that was not stating/listing all the individuals who were nominated (after the main 2 categories). The young lady – who I felt really bad for – read the correct name on the iPAD but the person controlling the music made a mistake and pressed the wrong button. So Terrence and Rocsi were going by the music and not the name listed on the tablet! Just my thoughts…..

  54. mobwife….baa, boo hoo….baa June 27, 2011

    CONGRATULATIONS CHRIS BROWN! My goodness what a haul KID! PROUD OF YOU and your well deserved honors!! 🙂 Loved the performance as well!

    Kelly Rowland did well, I’m proud of her! I even enjoyed Trey songz (IKR?!)

    Beyonce did that Bey things, she was good!

    Jill Scott and Alicia Keys DID THE DAMN THING #thatisall

    Pattie Labelle is simply TIMELESS!

    KEVIN HART WAS BRILLIANT!!

  55. diamond June 27, 2011

    Did someone say rihanna is BETTER than beyonce? Plz tell me how. Neither of them write their songs but when it comes to delivery, stage presence, and vocals bey has the package. Rihanna….not really. #DEAD

  56. mobwife….baa, boo hoo….baa June 27, 2011

    The Centric Award should be teased apart into 2 awards: female and male! There are enough ppl to be in each category! R.Kelly and Marsha both had great CDs and should have won!

    Congrats Mike Vick!!

  57. mobwife….baa, boo hoo….baa June 27, 2011

    Listen don’t worry ppl, Rihanna wont win another Best R&B Female award at least not at the BET Awards so let her have it. Think about it, Beyonce is back, Kelly rowland is makinng moves that are getting her notice, Brandy, Monica etc are releasing CD’s this yr. Think about it, she had no real comp. this yr but next yr will be a different story!

    So I say all hail the Queen of the filthy GOATS!! Hip hip hooray!! 🙂

    Rihanna better get it wit her BAD self !   
    You Chris Brown stans REALLY need to find something to do. Rihanna WON “Female R&B artist” this year and you will deal. That V.C award might as well be 50% Rihanna’s anyways LMAO!  I just don’t get it. Yall whine like hell when something happens to C.B (like last night) but y’all still manage to throw shade at somebody who dosent even give a f*** about you ( Rihanna ) and her fans. YES, she won “Female R&B artist” because she is an artist who does R&B. And if your confused… out of LOUD’s singles half of them alone are R&B ..(WMN, MD & RM). So hop off her c*** and deal with the fact that she’s had more success this year than her fellow nominees. DEAL. She won … yes and why do you care about it? Damn , you stannin HARD! LOL  

    BTW: Even without showing up QueenRih managed to make more headlines than your fave. Haa! You will deal.

  63. VA STAND UP!! June 27, 2011

    Well, wasn’t suprised when it came Chris cause I was pretty sure he was gonna win the awards he won. Even though that Viewer’s Choice thing was still shady as f***. BET gets a serious *side eye* for that! And f*** that Tiffany chick cuase she was talking mad s*** about Breezy for a while & she said that she was gonna pull some s*** if he did win so Karma came for that ass!

    I don’t see how Rihanna won on J Hud & Marsha Ambrious! True r&b singers lost to a damn pop tart! Makes no damn sense! I think they felt like they just had to give her something. Why the hell didn’t they annoucne Best Female R&b live? That is one of the top categories! SMH! BET be on some other s*** sometimes!

    I was a lil surprised Kanye won for Best Male Hip Hop, not that he didn’t deserve it but I honestly forgot about him for a minute! He’s been MIA for a while. I thought it was gonna go to Rick Ross or Wayne. Rick never wins anything. SMH!

    Of course Nicki was gonna win! BET basically set up that category for her.

    I was hoping Miguel was gonna win for Best new Artist but oh well, Wiz is cool too. *shrugs*

    I thought it was cute that Jayden & Willow both won for Best young star but I also thought it looked planned out.

    Every other category pretty much went as I expected it to. Not to many surprises.

  69. terver tordim July 2, 2011

    i think the best act international africa would have been given to tuface Idibia becos he is just out satanding

  70. Marcus Crowell July 11, 2011

    I really think that Beyonce deserved the Best Female R&B Artist. It doesn’t matter because Beyonce is not worrying about Rihanna getting that one. B has received others and will be rewarded with more to come. It’s just an award. Still, we all know Beyonce is the queen of R&B!
