Nicki Minaj cannot dance or sing so why she felt the need to do either onstage last night is beyond me. The only must see performances of the night in my opinion are the Whitney Houston tribute and Melanie Fiona…everything else left a lot to be desired.
you, my dear, are a HATER
shes not a hater… take ur 12 year old a** to school you troll.. everyone knows nicki is a fraud
saying an opinion is not hating . “in my opinion”
you haters never take a break i see,lol got everyone talking about her negative are positive..you d-mn @ss got suck in and you don’t even now it.
haters
Wow didn´t know Mariah was going to be there. The Whitney tribute stole the show, they did their thing and Whitney slay nowadays singers so she was obviously going to stole a show full of nowadays singers. U know what I mean. And despite these girls doing such a great job with the tribute u can easily see how huge and ipec Whitney´s voice was, nobody stand a chance
NIcki minaj. Chris brown. Usher . Melanie and whitney tribute were GREAT! Loved all
Usher nicki m and brandy F***** SLAYED MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!! BUT ALL IN ALL THE AWARDS WAS KINDA WEAK!!! 6 OUT OF 10 STARS!
why were Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj there? I thought this was an urban awards show.
o well, They are WINNING, what about u?
My favorite performers were Melanie and Brandy. I also enjoyed Nicki and Chris, they weren’t bad at all, although I’m a little gutted that Chris didn’t perform one of his r ‘n’ b tracks. Too bad Ciara wasn’t there. She would have killed it! Can she at least release a video, something to signal that the new era has finally begun?!
Right?
Cici fans were pissed when folks said all she did was walk around and pose but lately since this new ‘era’ began I haven’t seen her do anything to get folks pumped for her MUSIC.
I feel for the child but it’s gonna end up the same old story at this rate.
To be honest…..Melanie Fiona Killed it! I was over the awards after she performed. She had the most power performance, & it was very believable & straight from the heart with raw emotion. She went INN! Monica killed it as well….but that was just about it for me. ***BRANDY GOT THICK AS HELL NOW***
I see Usher is still King! These other male singers could never! The Whitney Tribute was good! Definitely impressed by Brandy! She sounded good! Reminded me of Whitney! I actually enjoyed Nicki’s performance. Kanye and his crew did good! But the best performance of the nite came from that girl Melanie Fiona! She did that! Vocals were there! Raw emotions poured out of her soul and slayed the stage! This woman is a Stage Slayer n the making!
BRANDY!!! She slayyyed she sounded great and looked great….She was strutin across that stage 🙂
BRANDY USHER MELANIE NICKI MONICA JOE TYRESE THEY GAVE ME LIFE-IT WAS AWESOME (2 me) I REALLY ENJOY ED THE LIVE R&B REAL MUSIC SINGING!!!! THANK U JESUS!!!!!!
NICKI KILLED IT!! GOT THESE H*** HAVING A REASON TO BE MAD!!
I Agree! & they are mad lol
GARBAGE!!!
i enjoyed the show…real singers wasnt playing last night….they was like let me show you how to do this…from the gospel set to faith, joe, brandy and monica……..
brandy’s swag was on 1000
Beyonce could not have hung vocally last night. She knew not to perform. It wasn’t a nite of echo machines and back tracks
Your another person so consumed by twitter/facebok/Stans/fans that you don’t like Beyonce. Being that I study vocal music and music theory. I have to disagree with you. Beyonce is a great singer. She pretty much gives a perfect vocal everytime I hear her. I’ve even heard her sing arabic and egyptian scales. Which is not easy.
please she is AVERAGE vocally at best..
Probably because she was lip synching.
Beyonce rarely sings LIVE if at all
With NO HELP Beyonce might be average, might be.
Beyonce does have a nice voice but it is not always perfect. Since you study music you would know that there are certain parts in “Love On Top” the studio version, where she sings the wrong notes. She easily plays it off and makes it sound good but her voice isn’t perfect.
That was funny 🙂
O agree Beyonce would have been out of her league on that stage last night. She is most definitely not the type of singer Melanie is! Melanie, Monica, Brandy and the chace to see the MARIAH was a Bet to remember!
Exactly, without a backing track and echo machine
Beyonce is Below Average
Her Hype Machine has definitely been effective in making people THINK she is all of that but she really isn’t.
IF she had taken the stage it would have been OBVIOUS
Melanie F can outsing Bey any day of the week as can Monica and many others that took the stage and actually sung LIVE without all the extras.
I disagree. Beyonce’s performances on past BET awards have been great. She opened the show twice and both times she was the best performer of the night. Shs is definitely an entertainer and you do not have to have a big voice to perform (look at Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, etc). Stage presence goes a long way and Beyonce owns the stage when she is performing. Also, what would Beyonce perform? She does not have a new single out and the tribute to Whitney and Frank Beverly / Maze was already full at 25 minutes each.
Bet need to stop, they not good anymore and Ciara should have been on the stage to bring some real entertainment!
Mariah Carey grace the stage with the surprised appearance really captivating and amazing beautiful. Honoring her good fren Whitney which make an eye opener to everybody that they are really a one of the hell good fren in discreet. She honor her with charisma, sincerity, joy, sadness and happiness. To see mariah emotionally breakdown toward her last speech making everyone burst to tears . Thank god we still have u Mariah may god protect u n bless u n your whole family to whitney, RIP
Hopefully we will appreciate Mariah Carey…and not take her and her talent for granted like we did Whitney. Mariah, Whitney, Anita Baker, SADE, Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin….don’t get enough props…they are ICONs.
Mariah looks stunning.
Mariah Carey looked beautiful.
Beyonce went from hanging out with classy women like Kelly Rowland and Michelle Obama to straight h*** like Kim K. Bey must be thirsty for attention or a sure sign that Bey has lost her crown. I have lost respect for her after seeing her with Kim K. It is really sad, this proves that Bey don’t have any REAL friends.
H** STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only reason why because of Kayne West You Dumb F**…… if West was never going with Kim K u would never see beyonce with her….. Since Beyonce is Close friend with Kayne Beyonce has to respect the Fact that’s his WOMEN
Stupid H**
It’s a bad look period.
Kim is a woman who got famous off a s** tape, has been married twice, does everything for a camera and would show up to the opening of an abortion clinic if there were cameras.
I’m surprised Beyonce would hang with her but hey…maybe B’s true colors are starting to show.
its not that serious , GET A DAMN LIFE
You cant blame bey for sitting next to that Ho. Kanye brought her.
Please have several seats. You do not know Beyonce’s friends. She has numerous friends….Kelly, Solange, Barbara Streisand, Michelle Obama, … Who are you to say who her friends are when you are not her!
D’Angelo showed he was back with a vengeance, you know he had something to prove and he did the damn thing.
Melanie…sooo underrated. She needs more spotlight IMMEDIATELY because hr voice is LIFE.
Nicki did a reLly good job, I’m liking how she’s developing on stage and she knew what songs to perform. Beez in the trap!
So nice to see Mariah, Monica and Brandy…we needed those lovely ladies to bing some class to the event.
other than the Whitney Tribute and Melanie Fiona it was a classless show
MTV Once again will blow bet out the Water….BET was the worst!!! BORING and it seem like the whole awards show was Drag out
It’s a Shame nobody good perform just a whole bunch of old farts…
Only person that did good was Nicki
NICKI WAS TRASH GARBAGE!!! Your just mad that the real music artists like Monica, Brandy, Tyrese, Joe, D’Angelo, Frank Beverly and Maze, Faith Evans, Valerie Simpson, Chaka, and Chante Moore brought the F****** REAL MUSIC THAT YOU YOUNG GENERATION DON’T KNOW S*** ABOUT PERIOD!!! CHILD YOU NEED TO LEARN YOUR HISTORY OF MUSIC!!! FLOP!!!
and Melanie Fiona!!
MONICA was the highlight of the nice! she looked and sounded timeless!!! WOW
Chante Moore was GREAT during the Donna Summer tribute…
Great to see D’angelo back doing his thing again.
The Frankie Beverly and Maze tribute was good, and great to see TGT lend a vocal helping hand!
Faith Evans was really good.
Melanie Fiona KILLED she’s so underrated.
The Whitney tribute was FIRE!
Monica did her thing as usual.
Brandy was the BEST of the night! She came flying out not playing games. I’m so proud of her!
Chaka looks great, and Cissy is an amazing, powerful woman.
HELL YA!!! Loved it!!!
AAAAAAH MARAIAH!AMAZING!
seriously,i think her speech was 100% better than the performances,no offense,just my opinion. she was graceful,sounded warm and loving+she looked A+mazing! I missed u Mimi!
MARIAH & NICKI!
Lmfao Its so funny how people wanna bring up KING B, talking bout she wouldve been out her league last nite lmao. Keep Dreaming Delusional H***! Thats just goes to show u, who the haters think is the best. Why bring her up? Why compare other singers to her? Because shes QUEEN? I dont see none of u comparing Melanie vs Brandy or Monica vs Melanie. Because yall know Beyonce is a Vocal Beast! People always compare “The Best” to others. U b****** know who the real deal is…….bwahahahahaha
She’s a beast compared to Ciara maybe
but to real vocalists she is a c****** poppin echo machine back track assisted fraud
Exactly, she cannot be compared to Whitney or Mariah ever
Not Ever….notice it is always Beyonce v Rihanna, why?
Cause she is NOT a TRUE VOCALIST that is why she needs all the extra that the GREAT VOCALIST do not
And u Miserable lonely h*** need a life. Who n there right mind, worry about who someone else hangs with. That dont know ur ass exist. None of u were callin out Lala, Serena and Kelly for hanging out with Kim first. KING B is only tied with Kim by Kanye. Lala and the others are friends n real life. Not by association. U H*** need some real true friends. That way u wont b waisting ur miserable lives worrying about KING B!
envie de baiser. ki é cho???
