It has literally just been announced that Usher, Alicia Keys, Eminem, and T-Pain, will be taking to the stage at the 2010 BET Awards.
They join previously announced performers for the June 27th event Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz, Drake, Kanye West, Rick Ross, and Diddy-Dirty Money.
It certainly appears as though BET left the best performer announcements till last, as prior to now, the line-up was looking a little thin on interesting live acts.
Randomness: Does anyone else agree that the BET Awards being good generally depends on whether Beyonce is on the bill? Be it by coincidence or not, but I’ve noticed the show is usually the business when she takes to the stage (excluding last year’s atrocity of an MJ tribute show). Just saying…
No ciara ????….some funny s*** going on here…..first the video …..now the B.E.T awards…..
and why is this post filed under Kelly Rowland WTF ??? she’s not even performing there…..smh……
i completely agree. sorry without beyonce the award shows seem to be dry…
I only just noticed Rick ross and diddy dirty money…….ew.
it would be cool if Eminem do his new song with Rihanna
None of these people interest me.
And who wants to see Dirty Money aka Filthy Coupons.
I am sure this will be another disaster B.E.T has on its hands.
completely agreed. when beyonce is not there its not worth watching….
No Sam its not all about Beyonce! They need a touch of Chris Brown’s magic. He would definitely breeze dat hideous awards show. Lookin forward for Ursher,Nicki Minaj and Drake.Others are no-bodys,a waste of human existance.
umm false, Beyonce is not that important..
Hope this is waaaayyyy better than last year’s! The performance line-up looks pretty good! I’m most excited to see PRINCE and my boy KANYE!
I agree with Sam. The BET Awards are noticeably boring when Beyonce is not here.
I hope they do it right this year, What I really want too see is Alicia Keys and Erykah Badu on the Prince tribute!
BET has gotten so damm boring. Last year was horrible. What happened to all the great performers they use to have that would keep you talking about it for months. Instead they had to use the automatic clapping sound because the crowd was so bored. Usher is ok and Drake I love his music. But for Drake singing live, I don’t know about that. And those others are questionable.
I agree. Beyonce brings that performance factor that a lot of artist miss when they take to the stage at the BET Awards. Hopefully she’s still there though
I do think Bey brings alot to the table. She starts it off on a good note! CB does it for me too! Ciara would also kill it.
@ Veebz, I’d love to see Erykah (hope she’s apart of the Prince tribute).
MJ’s was a mess! Just disgraceful…
I’m looking forward to Kanye, Usher, A. Keys and even Dirty Money (Lol, I like Dawn).
Bey can perform but is not the only who can, usher, alicia keys, kanye west, eminen plus surprise artist rihanna will make the show a success
Bey can perform but is not the only who can, usher, alicia keys, kanye west, eminen plus surprise artist rihanna theyll be performing love the way u lie, they will make the show a success
I for one am glad that beyonce is not performing. she has no relevant album out and she not even be nominated. but it is what it is
Haters stop lying! They will never be a female Superstar like Beyonce,,,but honestly its not all about her,other artist can make it happen.
Big jaws aka Kanye is gonna bore pipo wit his lame gay perfomance.
HM SHOULD BE OK WHEN IT SAID KEYS IN THE TITLE I ALMOST THOUGHT IT WAS THE RAPPER KEYS THT DISSED NICKI LOL
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
The lineup is looking much better BUT I agree that it won’t be the same without Beyonce. Her performances are so anticipated. I hope she is part of the Prince dedication.
Where is Ciara? every time she performs she is always the highlight.
This year’s looks really boring. Sorry but I’m not watching therm this year. It’s all about the MTV music Video Awards baby.
yeessssssssssss AK!!!!!!!
LMAO WHO WANTS CHRS BROWN STRAINING 15 YEAR OLD LYPSINGING ASS
LOL
S*** >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CHRIS BABY VOCALS
YES! Usher, Alicia(she’s gonna sit behind d piano cos of u-knw-what… Wlda loved she & Bee 2 open d show wiv Put It In A Love Song!), Em (shud bring RihRih 4 some magic) & Kanye 2 rock it…. D others- blah! Drake- SMH.
Though it will be INSANE if Beyonce, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, John Legend do the Prince tribute…. It would ROCK!
I disagree on Bey. She doesn’t make the show for me. I enjoy all the performances. Can’t wait for the show. I’m glad they added A Keys to the lineup. At first, I thought it was only going to be an all male show except for Nicki.
OH! We want Ciara & Kelly Rowland 2 perform there too… Ride & Commander(she shud sing 2 urban remix/ Grown Ass Woman) would be cool.
THATS HOW 2 BOOST RATINGS B.E.T!
it’s a shame ciara isnt performing, while someone like Ciara isnt the greatest singer, she brings an amazing performance factor….which is always kinda dismissed at BET…….damn shame…….
If Ye performs “Power”, He’s going to steal the show hands down.
Wow, BET has really gone to the DOGS! This is the best we can do for enteratinment? OFFICER RICKY! A w**** who is having her married lovers child (Alicia Keys), A weak metrosexual MJ will-never-be old man (Usher), and a man who is an actual W-I-F-E A-B-U-S-E-R (Eminem beat his wife KIM many times but he is WHITE so of course the BLACK ENTERATINMENT NETWORK owned by whites will let him perform)! This is it? This is BLACK ENTERATINMENT? WOW, good luck with this mess. OH YEAH, CONGRATS TO Popstar, JUSTIN BIEBER who we know has already won that BET Award (BET plays R&B, Rap & Smooth Jazz NOT Pop but oh well)!
correction ……*ENTERTAINMENT* ……this damn black background…LOL
P.S. i am tired of the FAKE ASS MEDIA! Really now, I am tired of seeing the same ppl perform on EVERY AWARD SHOW! They will have to either get rid of some of these award shows or include more performers…THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
Monica needs to be add and beyonce should even if she does prince tribute
Sam Beyonce does NOT determine the success of the show. BET needs to add Ciara and Monica to the list of performers cause I’m still peed off with the fact that they snubbed Monica for the Best R&B Female nod.
Let me remind you guys of what Bee is capable of.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ecglcPivHk&feature=related
Wigs were snatched, careers were lost, kelly’s commander was set to flop from this very instant (just kidding) lol.
I only watch the BET Awards if Beyonce is either performing or receiving an award lol! But its true… no matter what anybody says, they know in their hearts that Beyonce is the BET Awards.
And last years BET Awards really was bad. The performers should’ve of just stuck to their original performances. I guess BET thought that by rushing and doing a half-way MJ tribute would give them a lot of viewers and credentials… very bad idea! BET should of waited and did a separate MJ tribute. If MJ was so in their minds, they should have taken out the time and waited to give him something proper and special.
I AGREE BEE WILL BE MISSED BUT USHER HAS HAD GOOD PERFORMANCES..ALICIA AND THE TEENAGE LOVE AFFAIR GIRL GROUP DEDICATION WAS HOTT-CIARA HAS BEEN GREAT ,ESPECIALLY IN 07-CHRIS BROWN ALSO WHEN HE WAS HOTT-ALSO THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT SEGMENT IS ALWAYS GOOD..JAMES BROWN HAD MJ-THE OJAYS WERE GOOD LAST YEAR…..BEYONCE OF COURSE ADDS TO THE SHOW !BUT LETS NOT BE SO ONE DIMENSIONAL!
NOW BEYONCES DEJA VU OPENING WAS THE ISH! 07 GET ME BODIED WAS GREAT ALSO-BUT WASNT SO CRAZY ABOUT CRAZY IN LOVE-DONT KNOW WHY…I ENJOYED MONIQUES MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL!!
I agree, Beyonce always brings the fire when she performs (minus last years) & Ciara kills it as well. Truthfully, the performances are the only reason why i’ve ever watched the BET Awards… I guess this year is gonna be a bust too.
I would love the Bet awards this year if these were the people performing Ms.B Ciara Chris brown Kanye west Kelly Usher Drake Nicki Trey Luda (my chick bad all the ladies) Nas Em and Monica
I want to know who da hell is performing for PRINICE!
they need to let ciara perform ride this year so she can break it down!!!!!
THE ONLY PERSON I WANT TO SEE IS KANYE THE REST CAN GO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE UNTIL THEY DIE THE MTV AWARDS WILL CRUSH THEM LIKE ALWAYS
AND CIARA IS FLOP THAT’S WHY SHE’S NOT PERFORMING HA HA
BEY CAN STAY HOME AND SUCK ON JAYS NUTTS!
BET is has gotten so wack.no support 4rm me… no Beyoncé, no Chrisette Michele, no Erykah Badu, Fantasia, Ludacris, BoB……..and how in the Hell can Monica not be in the lineup????????? F**k BET
As long as they don’t have Soulja Boy and em the Performances be pretty good…besides im tired of black stations bigging up only beyonce…spread the love!!!
@ Beyonce vs world
If Ciara’s a flop then what do u call Rick Ross, Nicki Manaj, Trey Songz and T-pain who are going to perform? Super Flops? lol
BET has been extremely shady with Ciara for a couple years now I’ve noticed. She was only there last year because of the MJ tribute(which sucked btw) and she performed 2 years ago because of Chris Brown and Nelly.
BET= Beyonce Entertainment Television. True she shouldn’t determine the success, but that is the way BET has made it. Her and camel have BET in their damn pockets. They will win in everything their up for. Known fact, smh.

it would be cool if Eminem do his new song with Rihanna
_________________________________________________________________
Eminem is a woman beater and it’s not a good look for Rihanna, who claims to be an abuse woman to be sing a song with a man who truly is know as a woman beater who abuse his wife repeatedly.
@MY WAY
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@BACQUI
@THEKIDDZ
SHUT THE F*** UP. BEYONCE IS ONLY LEGENDARY TO HER STANS
TO ALL THE PEOPLE ON THIS POST: YOU ALL OR SUCH SHEEP. ONE PERSON SAYS BEYONCE MAKES THE BET AWARDS (FALSE) AND YOU ALL AGREE AND KEEP MAKING THE SAME COMMENT. HOW ABOUT FORMING YOUR OWN OPINIONS.
I F****** HATE B.E.T!!!!! They ask Usher to perform this year and not last year???? Why would they allow Eminem to perform but prevent Chris Brown from performing last year???? You can tell BET is owned by Viacom (white racist media corporation, typical smgdh) They’ll let a homophobic, misogynist, woman-beating white rapper perform but cut CB out of their lineup for a tribute to his idol. Chris ALWAYS showed MJ love. The rest of those performers (including Beyondfake) avoided him like the plague before June 25. (B)lacks (E)mbarassing (T)hemselves truly disrespected MJ’s memory. Sad considering the success of their channel wouldn’t have been possible without him. Now Prince gets a tribute???? How convenient. (B)lack (E)vil (T)rash is doing that to “repair” their damaged image from last year’s show. PATHETIC!!!!!!!!
Hell yea the show is going to be boring ass f*** without beyonce performing lets just hope she shows up it would be good just to see the queen ! 🙂
I disagree, the show can be great without her. That is the problem I have addressed with BET on their blog already, they build the show around her too much. She has performed on that show more than any other female artist. They could leave her off, but they could add in Monica, Sade, and Rihanna to mixture in the show, because as of right now, the performance roster is looking too ghetto. I don’t expect Alica Keys to do a huge performance because she is pregnant, so they will probably use her for the Prince tribute.
I remember last year when the Jackson family wanted Chris to do the trubite for MJ. Jay-Z told BET if Chris perfroming him and Beyonce will not be there. Well they did not get Chris because of Jay-Z and the show was a flop. Nothing in the show that would make you say wow! nothing. You are going to see the same people in the first three rows that is always there.
Someone said something about Em & Rihanna, well Bluekid is right Rihanna should not have made a song with him being she said she was abused. And the world knows that Em beat his wife to a point he almost killed her. And for them to perfom together is not cool.
Well anyway I will not be watching BET awards
ONLY ONE DANCER!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!
@Rodriguez
I AGREE WITH YOU! THAT WOULD BE A GREAT LINE-UP! If I don’t see Chris take to the stage and do a Michael Jackson 1 yr anniversary performance, BET can just as well hang it up!
“They’ll let a homophobic, misogynist, woman-beating white rapper perform but cut CB out of their lineup for a tribute to his idol”
__________________________________________
@ELLE,
I totally agree with you! It’s an outrage that they would allow this FOOL to take the stage. I made a mistake and turned on 106&Park and that clown Terrence had the nerve to praise the idea of having this DRUG ADDICT, WIFE ABUSER on the show. REALLY? Come on kid REALLY? Where were you last yr when CB was removed from the MJ tribute line-up over some crap ? The media is controlled and can’t be trusted to tell the truth about anything!
@Blue Kid you are right, it is not a good look for rihanna who claims to be a victim of violence. Knowing Eminem’s very public history of domestic violence and the music he as composed about killing his wife and mother, one would think she who claims to be a victim, would think twice about working with him. I GUESS WHEN YOUR CAREER IS NO MORE THAN A GIMMICK YOU WILL DO WHATEVER YOU THINK WILL SELL! PATHETIC!!!!!
@Bemjamin What about Sada, Ererka B, Moncia, Sade, Mary J, Kelly Rowland I mean there are others where are they?. But you know what kills me the people on these blogs talk bad about Chris but open there arms to Eminen and they are very happy that Rihanna is doing a song with that drug addict, wife beater and talked about beating his mother.
NO LETOYA? NO MONICA?
I SWEAR THIS IS B E T omg lol..
THE NOMINATIONS = S***
PERFORMANCE LIST = GOOD
OVERALL = I STILL KNOW MOST OF IT WILL BE S***!!!
I AM STILL SO PISSED OFF ABOUT LETOYA AND MONICA NOT GETTING NOMINATED FOR
– Best R&B album
– Best Female Artist
– Best Collab – LeToya & Ludacris on “Regret”
OH YES! AND WHERE THE F*** IS ERYKAH BADU????
OMG!! ARGGGGH SO ANNOYING
BET = S H I T
http://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/JONATHANGARDNERTV
WOOPS! CHANGED MY MIND!!
PERFORMANCE LIST = AVERAGE (except for Keys – who always gives me FEVER!!!)
LETOYA, MONICA, BADU SHOULD BE PERFORMING/SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOMINATED
BET = E P I C F A I L .
http://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/JONATHANGARDNERTV
oops Erykah
@BET FLOP
Apparently the Jackson family wanted Chris to perform @ the BET Awards 09 but Al Sharpton’s annoying ass persuaded them not to. He was being hypocritical because people unfairly judged Chris just like they did to MJ.
May since alicia is performing, beyonce may come on stage for “PUT IT IN A LOVE SONG”,,,,it is the next single for the summer……
BET I AM GLAD YOU ADDED ALICIA KEYS BECAUSE AT LEAST HER MUSIC HAS MEANING BUT YOU BETTER ADD MONICA TO THAT DARN LINE-UP..SHE WAS GREAT LAST YEAR AND THE BEST PEFORMANCE. SHE HAS TALENT AND CAN ACTUALLY SING. YOU ALREADY SNUBBED HER FROM THE BEST FEMALE R&B CATEGORY THE LAST THAT WHACK AWARD SHOW CAN DO IS ALLOW HER TO PERFORM. DANG SHE HAS A NUMBER ONE REALITY SHOW ON THAT WHACK STATION. OH AND YOU BETTER DO PRINCE RIGHT AND DON’T HAVE NO NO TALENT PERFORMERS SINGING HIS SONGS. BETTER YET LET PRINCE SING HIS OWN SONGS.
“Last years atrocity of an MJ tribute”
——————————-
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE! That MJ tribute was AWFUL! I will forever HATE Jamie Foxx for his performance on all accounts last year! I understand that they are going to try to piece something together this yr for Michael??? With this line-up, how will it be different than last years show? Michael was a dancer. This show NEEDS CHRIS BROWN! I am not here to debate about it. If Eminem can perform (wife beater with a criminal record), Queen Latifia (drug addict lesbian with a criminal record), Alicia Keys (home wrecker), although I must confess to loving the talented Alicia Keys than CB can finally do that MJ tribute I have been waiting an entire year to see! ……DEUCES
The BET Awards staff needs 2 have more entertainers 2 perform… They need some more R&B singers & dancers… Someone that can give you a PERFORMANCE. So far they got Usher, which is ok, but mostly what I see is rappers which most likely will be walking across the stage the whole time… They need someone who can ENTERTAIN… I do agree with most of you… The BET awards was wack last year, I think they should do another tribute to MJ & bring out all the good entertainers who can give you a show… Like Chis Brown, Ciara, Usher, Omarion and they could have all entertainers who we havn’t seen in years dancing like Ginuwine (we havn’t seen him dance in awhile) or like Sisqo,ETC… I think that would be hot… I also think it would be hot if Chris Brown do perform a tribute to MJ since they didn’t let him last year…The media need to STOP holding what happen against him… This young man is TALENTED… Chris brown love MJ since day one… I was looking back at the 2006 BET awards where he performed for the first time at the awards… Did y’all notice that he was wearing the smooth criminal suite when he perform @ the 06 bet awards? Even in 07 at the MTV awards he did a tribute to MJ performing “Billie Jean”… He also was doing tributes to MJ at his local concerts BEFORE MJ past away…. Some people (and some artist) didn’t really care about MJ until he passed… I don’t want the same thing to happen with Chris Brown like today, people dislike him, and then tomorrow, people LIKE him because he’s gone… That just wouldn’t be right… People take situations of artist for granted… BET was also taking Chris Brown for granted last year…. Beings though, they nominated him for the BET Awards AND HE DID PERFORMED AT THE SPRING BLING 2010, WHY NOT LET HIM PERFORM AT THE BET AWARDS?? So that’s my opinion of the situation… Let that go of what happen is C.B’s personal life & focus on the boy’s CAREER (MUSIC)…. The media act like that what he did was NEW… This goes on daily, but yet they focus on it because there celebrities…. Everyone makes mistakes and if you believe in GOD then everyone deserves a SECOND CHANCE…
EMINEM & NICKI MINAJ
HELL YEA
now im excited
WELLLL i know its gonna suck since T-Pains gonna be there and he’s a surfboard (Nicktionary-Washed up b****) and awards suck id nobodys their shakin it like a black girl and thats usually Beyonce..so yeah its gonna suck…….. Beyonce should dance to videophone with LADY GAAGAAAA there
Glad to see so much support here for a CHRIS BROWN appearance. It would make the show sizzle, and he really really deserves it. And it makes such sense for him to do MJ tribute – nothing is as close to classic MJ as Chris Brown. But CB has his own special charisma – its just such a win-win, no brainer.
Chris is also in the running for Best Male RnB Artist (!) and he won some fan voting contest. MJ tribute or not – welcome-the-hell back Chris!!! but i’d luv to see him do the MJ
All you homos talking trash about Eminem can lick my ballsack. Em’s fanbase is a hundred times bigger than Chris Browns and his fans are loyal to him. Em’s new album is projected to sell 700,000 (Yeah… even in today’s economy) yet your beloved Chris Brown flops because his fans SUCK. I’m a fan of Chris Brown… but don’t try and compare him to Eminem.
I can tape or watch an encore presentation of the 2010 BET Awards. While I’m looking forward to the performances of Alicia Keys, Usher, and Trey Songz, as well as another tribute to Michael Jackson, a performance by Eminem? Not so much. My prediction is that he’ll make the weakest performance on that stage. Why? Because he totally reminds me of Diana Ross back in the day, with a horrific attitude.
Oh, yeah, I’m also looking forward to performances by Beyonce and Diddy and Dirty Money. I’m going for the ones I care about.:)
i completley aggre with Cherie …..Chris Brown is very talented and he will always be taking for granted like MJ because people are jeaulos of his talent and the way that he can get on stage and perform his ass off
CHRIS BROWN KILLED IT AND EL DEBARGE BROUGHT ME BACK
I agree with you on that one, Nix.
i dont understand why you all are fighting f*** me guys seriously
anyways usher is so f****** hot lol
