Urban music’s biggest calendar night, the BET Awards, returns on July 1st for what is sure to be an unmissable extravaganza.
So as to cement the latter, the network announced moments ago that Pop forces Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj are the show’s first confirmed performers.
As reported on our Urban Hollywood sister site, That Grape Juice TV, actor Samuel L. Jackson succeeds Kevin Hart as this year’s host.
Your thoughts?

YEEES! So glad Chris is performing! #TeamBreezy Now get Kelly Rowland on there again!
Lip Sync Galore all over again SMH.
Queen Beyonce, please deliver us.
Lol what would Bey perform though? 4 is already a year old, no new singles …. Unless she leads the Whitney tribute line-up
nice.
The Lip Syncing Swagga Jacka Twins? Hopefully his album will be out by then; since hers has already flopped
oh just stop it. Would be really nice if Rih gets bashed for her next “non prformance’, “non singing”, “non dancing” crap called her entertainemnt. Next one will be American Idol..look out.
I dont like that drunk ho neither. Notice i aint make no references to him VICIOUSLY beating that coconuts out of that YAMP so clearly i am not one of them navy h***. But i aint about to act like this negro is talented.
Hey at least rihanna sings unlike someone that was obviously lip syncing!!!!
ya she sounds like a dying cat. I was she would lip sync.
Lip synch good Chris. Lip synch good.
I’m excited to see what he will be performing…. I think Nicki will be a bore. From what I’ve seen on the tour…its a tired little set. But I am happy he is finally back on top of his game. Grammys, Billboard, American Music Awards, now BET…. what major music award show isn’t he performing at…. you know MTV VMA will have him there too……
Only question is, why do people pretend like its horrible if he lip synchs? If he tried to dance and sing live then he would’ve sounded bad and out of breath and people would have complained about that! Beyonce, Madonna, Usher, Janet, Britney…. all the legends before him that are GREAT dancers, lip synch…. thats a #FACT.
All of a sudden lip syncing is a bad thing. How many time we seen Rihanna lip syncing? Plenty. Britney,Bey,Usher,Nicki, and more lip sync. Only when Chris is jumping around he lip sync.
I notice that anything to do with Chris you guys are going to say nothing good. Anyway why Rihanna’s not performing being that she been nob for Best Female R&B
Miss Darren, stop taking the heat off Christina Brown. HO WE TALKING ABOUT HIM!
Rihanna, sweet rihanna stays
on yo minds, she could care
less about this getto clown show.
@Lax
How do you know if Rihanna care or don’t care about the BET awards. What are you trying to sa, just because it’s black own it got to be ghetto. B**** you must be white. That’s why Battleship flopping because the blacks who would have given her the sales not supporting her want to be white ass.’
What do you think the whites think about Rihanna. The things she’s doing now days white folks are calling her a ghetto BLACK b****.I love Black Girls Rock, BET Awards, Soul Train Awards. Black Girls Rock never mentioned Rihanna success but they mentioned Beyonce’s,
Chris has always sung live on the BET awards, go youtube last year, when he sung SHE AIN’T YOU WITHOUT MUSIC LAST YEAR.
Chris nob for best R&B male & Rihanna nob for best R&B female lol. What happened to best pop? Oh that’s right Katy, Britney, Gaga, Madonna, Ki$ha, Rita are the real Pop queens. At one time the Navy said R&B was for low class artists.
anyway , i know CB’s performance will keep this local s*** alive. the man will lip-sync and get involved in a ABDC kind of choreography but still will be entertaining at least for me.
but THAT performance at BBMA was predictable , yes he worked hard and gave me dance and s*** , but it would have been more pleasing if he could have sung a lil bit. but it is a dance song “which can be hard to sing especially with the kind of choreographies CB is known for” , so i will even go all the way with that excuse and say that i don’t expect fine vocals from him if he is going to perform dance songs ever again tbh , and i’m over this point , as long as he keep me entertained , i will be cool with breezy 🙂 , but he should try to show me why he is considered to be a SINGER ! k ?
For sure i’m not here for NM unless she gonna keep the fun high up , but i don’t expect that much from the h** to be completely honest. she’s a wack performer and i need her to end the whole ‘barbie pop doll” s*** which make her look like a ghettoish DRAG fat version of LADY GAGA
now i need U S H E R to join the line-up ! AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WANT HIM TO PERFORM “LEMME SEE” ?
Pls, don’t shade Gaga by comparing this talentless h** with her!
PLZ DONT LIP SYNCING PROVE THIS PPL WRONG #TEAMBREEZY
AMEN!
I’m tired of going back and forth on twitter and blog’s with these HATERS! I feel like people criticize his personal life so he should make sure he does GREAT in his professional life so they cant say s*** in that DEPARTMENT
#TeamBreezy
I really enjoyed Nicki’s AMA performance, & that was a while back. I hope she delivers this time around.
HAHAHAHA that performance was EMBARRASSING. With the chicken and everything. Girl BYE!
but it was better then the GRAMMYS. I mean she really cant go any lower!
I’m sorry, honestly people care for this clown?? SMH!!! This guy is done since 2008 even before the whole bashing the face in of CRACKANNA, SMH!!! He looked like a bigger idiot back when he did the MJ tribute that took away the purpose of it. Can’t take anything serious with this idiot!!! BET YOU NEED REAL ARTISTS WHO WILL PERFORM REAL MUSIC, NOT THOSE 2 TRASHY ARTISTS!!! YUCK!!!
B**** BYE! “He was done in 2008”, hahahahha, Why are you lying to yourself!
TB
WOW how boring…… I need Kelly, A. Keys, usher, Monica, Brandy, Beyonce, A. Banks, J-cole, lil kim, missy, Eve to be on that list.
Umm no, bring only Beyonce, Kelly, Usher & Missy. The rest can watch from the audience.
lol
I can’t wait to see what spectacle Lips Brown will bring to the table.
He needs to take a seat, because at this point, no one remembers him singing live.
Last I remember, Rihanna may have taken a beating, but at least the goat croaks live and attempts to dance. If I wanted to watch someone lipsync, I’d watch a music video. SMH.
Did you see him sing TUTM live at the grammys, how about AMA’S WHEN HE SUNG ALL BACK. GET A LIFE
You say it like the fact he performed “live” (I put that in quotations, because Beautiful People was NOT live) on a handful (and I mean, handful as in LESS THAN FIVE) of occassions justifies him to lipsync for the majority of his live performances.
Last I remember, real singers didn’t lipsynch. James Brown could very well dance and sing live.
Chris Brown fails to live up to hype of being a “singer”. Performer? More circus act than anything.
Oh, and now I have to watch EVERY performance of his’ to make an opinion? This from the person who told me to get a life, that’s pretty fresh.
HE LIPSYNCHED, ain’t nobody denying that. Says enough about a “singer” if they can’t bother breathing into a mic.
Done & done, thankyouverymuch.
LOLing at these programmed idiots on here,just because chris lip syncing is all over the gossip sites some h*** just cant think for themselves and I refuse to get into a debate coz I know another bad performance from another top artist is around the corner and I cant wait to drag that ass! atleast thats how it works these days.
Not this h** saying Chris was done since 2008. I shouldn’t see such success and him winning his first Grammy these days then. Y’all pressed because he lip synch his performance. And? Usher did it in 08 at the Bet Awards. He hasn’t performed in 4 years before then. There was absolutely NO excuse for Usher. Chris dances hard when he performs TUTM. Don’t know other artist dance as hard as him. Hop y’all no life asses on a horse and seek the next object that levels with your face.
Sorry CB is a has been, all he does now is dance. Is he a singer or a wanna be dancer?? Ya, I rest my case, HE IS DONE, WASHED UP, AND RINSED TO DRY IN THE CLOTHING LINE, LMAO!!!! Face it sweetie, he’s been done since 2008 with CRACKANNA by his side, they need to save the embarrassment of not performing anymore period. LMAO!!!
THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING *SIDE EYE* PLEASE RIHANNA PERFORM “WHYB”
Rihanna performing, I can’t put the two together. My washer has more rhythm & she has the nerve to yodel to the gods & call that vocals.
Don’t sweat it deery she will be in london
and frying much bigger fish then this getto
doo, doo!!
ps screw awards you can’t buy toliet tissue
with them or eat them. Let beyonce have all
of them because having the most helps her to
live others don’t need awards to be DEFINED
ESPECIALLY RIHANNA SHE WOULD LOVE IT, BUT KNOW
HOW TO FLY OVER YO B/S ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER PICLKINGS.
ANOTHER PREDICTABLE PERFORMACE FROM CHRIS BROWN…. SMH
FOR ONCE IN HIS CAREER I WISH HE WOULD STAND AND ACTUALLY SING….BUT WE ALREADY KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE OVER THE TOP AND NOTHING BUT DANCING….
DIDN’T HE SING SHE AIN’T YOU LAST YEAR LIVE AT THE AWARD SHOW WITHOUT MUSIC. HE ONLY LIP SING ON BILLBOARD, VMA. HE SUNG ALL BACK LIVE ON AMA AND ON SNL HE SUNG NO BULL S*** LIVE. YOU WOULD NO THAT IF YOU WERE A CB FAN
YES!!! Love them both!!! I hope Chris Brown performs one if his 3 new singles because I’m tired of that “Turn Up the Music” era…that was soooo January…move on
I KNOW Nicki won’t perform a pop song at the BET awards. She’s about to bring hip hop out, I bet money on it…I hope she does “HOV Lane”, “Come On A Cone” or “Champion”.. Or a Roman Medley, “Roman Holiday”, ” Romans Revenge”, “Roman Reloaded” and “Roman in Moscow”….or even a medley of “Ityy Bitty Piggy” “Go Hard” “N.I.G.G.A.S” and “Still I Rise”..that will get people talking for sure….*sits back in chair* ahhhh, dreams will be dreams…LMFAO
#ThisTheUpCutter
Who knows maybe Chris & Nicki will be performing together. Singing – Right By My Side
ASHANTI should perform! !!
Eww no, keep that flop where she belongs, at home in ATL watching the show like everyone else.
well I guess they have to announce the boring ones first.
What can you expect from this awards, most ghetto show ever.
This dude has been hogging every award show since last year and he’s doin it all over again this year. A seat should be made just for him pls
He’s making up for the last 2 years of NO ONE WANTING HIM. Including BET!
Team Breezy we have gone so far. From no radio stations wanting to play his music and no award show wanting him to perform or even do an MJ tribute. Now look at us, he’s performing at EVERY award show and DID I FORGET HIS 1ST GRAMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYY!!!
“LOOK AT ME NOW”
Now I know a Beyonce stan didn’t just say a person was HOOGING all the award shows? LOL 🙂
Come now, when Beyonce was on the top of every Pop Chart she was dropping it on every award show in town. I’m a fan and I love to watch her perform (she’s only one of 3 ppl who can thrill me with dance & song) but you know its true 🙂
Also, we didn’t see Christopher perform for quite awhile. Now because he has performed on 2011 BET Awards, VMA, AMAs, & 2012 Grammys, BBMA & now BET Awards you complain? Trust me he wont be invited to perform at the VMAs or AMAs this yr. After all that was the purpose of trying to make it seem as though he can’t sing or dance blah, blah. Every media attack serves to make it impossible for him to stay in the music industry wihtout having to battle! #racismalwaysrules
Right By My Side
Curious if Chris will change it all up – new song, new dancing, less lip-synch – or if he will keep it going hard on the dance and the not much singing, just to say ‘ F*** you, I’ll do what I want to do.’ I hope for the new approach – GOTTA be a new song – but I would understand if he didn’t sing a peep and flipped them the bird.
Hoping he will be cool and be him. Hope for By My Side with Nicki or the Sweet Love ballad.
Guess Mr. Controversy is good for the ratings. People love to find new crap to throw in his face. So wish he finds peace in his iife someday
LOL 🙂
I really hope to hear See Through! I will say it again, he would be a fool not to put that song on his CD! He might do Sweet Love as that has been quite successful on the Uruban charts/radio stations. He may finally release the video sometime before the Award show…hopefully!
“Mr. Controversy” nah, “Mr. popular society needs a new N***ER to hate” YES! He performed and did well yet was greeted with nonsense about lip syncing which he didn’t do! Justin Bieber also sang over a backtrack yet the popular society and DRUG ADDICT WHORES like Pink and her DRUG ADDICT husband (who she beat the sh** out of on the streets of LA a few yrs back & caught on film doing so) praised him and his bullsh** effort to high heaven! “Mr. Controversy” is an illusion issued forth by THE BIASED AMERICAN MEDIA!
Nicki Minaj…clearly I will use her performance as intermission. This child is boring.
FLOOOOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!! b****
I HATE RACISM IN AMERICA WHERE BLACKS ARE CONSTANTLY USED AS CANNON FODDER FOR THE AMUSEMENT OF THE POPULAR SOCIETY AND SELF-LOATHING NEGROS FOLLOW ANY SCHEME ADVANCED!
Anyway, I am very excited to know my boy Chris Brown, will be blessing the stage again this year at the BET Awards. I also hope to see Jilly Jill, Ledisi, Brandy, Monica, Maxwell, Tyrece, Tank & GenuFINE (TGT), Beyonce, Usher, Toni Braxton, Anita Baker, Fantashia, Stephanie Milll (SHE IS LONG OVER DUE TO BE HONOR), Janet Jackson (SHE IS LONG OVER DUE TO BE HONOR), maybe even the Jacksons (they are set to go on tour this summer) and the many others we don’t get to hear about because they aren’t deemed “IMPORTANT” to those who control the media and thus what you BELIEVE!
I love the idea of seeing successful, strong, capable, beautiful BLACKS bringing SOUL MUSIC, HIP HOP, JAZZ & BLUES to life! I miss the days of BLACK OWNED MEDIA where African Americans could readily display their talents and be appreciated by their own who recognized the importance of loving and supporting oneself FIRST AND FORMOST!
***ADELE is great but it’s okay to also appreciate SOUL MUSIC SUNG BY SOUL ARTISTS #i’mjustsaying
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome
I mean Damn, why all the hate?! Typical of punks to turn TGJ into BGC. #TeamBreezy #TeamSlickNick #TeamMusic Let them bums stay mad cuz you living it up!
