Stevie wonder always performs and JHud is nothing more than a karaoke tribute artist. The line up is dry this year.
STILL No Starpower…They better call Rih or Beyonce to stream in from one of their concerts. This year has been an exciting year for black music compared to the last two and this all who you can get?
ihanna doesn’t even make black music lol, she makes white wanna be hood t*** girl music.
Oh really…

Lol that love on the brain WAS BAD> Rih wants to be R&b so bad now. Too bad she doesn’t have the soulful voice for it. She will always be nothing but a POP artist in my eyes.
‘wooo woooo la lalala nanana nana lalala work work work work work work nananana lalalalalala”
That’s what she be doing in all her songs. That’s not R&B! Why all the sudden rih want to be R&b, she should just stick to pop!
Pop music was created by black people you idiot. The only white music is folk and a little bit of country that’s it. So shut up.
I didn’t know music had a race…
no star power..ugh…..Prince is gone…stevie and patti are over used…janet’s pregnant…beyonce paying it…and rihanna has never needed BET. i’ll catch the prince tribute on here tho.
Not hype at all where are the stars?
Where’s ProBlackYonce?
The same place she was when BET decided to throw shade her last week on Twitter. Just because Beyonce is black doesn’t mean she has to support a network that constantly throws shade at her. First they diss her daughter on national TV & now they dissing her album for no reason.
They didn’t diss her album they just said another was better than it which is the truth you hives can’t handle it. Crybaby ass b*****
When has BET every dissed Beyonce? Lol, a single person who is employed by BET happened to think Anti was a better album than Lemonade. That’s not a diss
They insulted her child, what part of that can’t you comprehend.
Now if someone insulted your little girl or boy, would you attend their ceremony?
But Karruche said it.
Molly, stop being naive. I’ll give you the benefit of doubt, and say you’re smarter than that.
Oh wow, bet dissed bEYONCE? I don’t keep up with them like that, but I think I have a new-found respect for BET! Finally someone with enough mind of their own who won’t just jump on the beyonce bandwagon.
I’m not crying about anything… You are the worried about Beyonce’s where about for the BET awards. Meanwhile I don’t see Rihanna’s name either. I guess she only used BET and the black audience to help save “B**** Better Have My Money” from flopping as a last resort lol! ????
Who cares they don’t need her lip-syncing? I’m glad they got real singers like Jennifer who doesn’t lip-sync and isn’t overrated like beyonshit.
Yaaasss CHLOE X HALLE y’all better get your lives at the EBT. No Nicki, Bey, J Cole or Kendrick Lamar. This will be a dull night, they should just give Nic her award already.
I guess BET had to settle for Chole X Halle since Bey is in Hawaii on vacation from her tour.
Didn’t I tell you folks there was no star power this year? I’ll probably go to this year just to get a free makeover and meet some celebrities. Last year was LIT. Ciara, Janet Jackson, Floyd Matweather, Mike Tyson, NWA, etc.
Karrueche Tran lol
Why would anyone want to see Future, French Montana, Young Thug, or Desiigner perform live? IDK why BET bothers with booking “turn up” artists. They’re great for music festival but not at an award show and certainly not enjoyable to watch from home. They need to book Bryson Tiller, Tory Lanez, Twenty88 (Jhene and Big Sean), and some big names like Beyonce, Rihanna, or Drake. Alicia, Usher, and Tori Kelly are the only worthwhile names on there.
And doesn’t Tinashe have an album coming or something? Why is she presenting and not performing?
I wont watch. This is wack. I will catch prince tribute online. Kae Tran??? Tori Kelly?? Tinashe?? Lets be real.’Usher, Alicia, and Jhud have lost steam. There music is boring. NO CIARA OR CHRIS BROWN? I shall pass..
Lol Usher, Alicia, and Jhud lost steam but Ciara and Fist Brown still have it? Ok.
No Chris brown, I’m thanking the lord for that! That stupid piece of s*** should just rot in hell!
WOW! NO ONE with any star power is really going… This is CRAZY! Esp since our artists are the first ones to cry & rant on and on when they get snubbed at these other awards shows that care nothing about us or our music!! This is sad!!!
And don’t even get me started on Beyoncé.. The thing I find funny about her is when she was embarking on her solo career and really carving a name for herself in the industry she was at EVERY BET award show performing, hell they were one of the only award shows that let her showcase her material and perform every year. Now she’s a household name she’s too good to attend???
Well, if a network made a dig at your child, would you attend. I definitely wouldn’t, that’s for sure.
I sincerely hope she continually pays BET dust.
I think you have your info f***** up. Bey didn’t need BET when she was breaking out as a solo artist. She used BET as a platform in the 90s when DC debuted. Beyoncè performed at the VMA’s, Grammys, MTV EMAs, Oscars, VH1 Divas, Billboard Awards, Radio Music Awards, Bet Awards, Brit Awards, and numerous of award ceremonies when she debuted and she 50+ awards during her first solo era. BET were the ones honored when Beyoncè showed up and showed out (bet awards 06). She doesn’t owe them shít especially after they dissed her child, she performed 7 times (more than any other artist) and has won like 50 awards ?.
I am pretty sure Beyonce’s group is going to perform for the “Music Matters” segment of the show.
–
This award show is already a downgrade from last years.I always say that you CANNOT have an award show without the singers/dancers performers on the show like: Beyonce, Ciara, Chris…. nvm they have him every year, or even Tinashe.
I don’t know why people want rihanna so bad. Why don’t they just go get Bieber, the doughnut licker, and fifth harmony too, and other POP artists like rihanna.
Pop music was created by black people you IDIOT.
Lol In case yall didn’t know, a white man owns BET. So yeah. Just gonna let yall marinate on that.
I really hope they do something major with this Prince tribute.
Yasss Bey!! continue paying them dust after they dissed your child and your revolutionary album by comparing it to a mediocre album. Btw Bey has performed 7 times (more than Rih, Nicki, Drake, Usher, Alicia Keys) etc. She has gave the BET Awards their most exciting and iconic performances. She also provides alot of ratings. The next time she will show up is when they give her long overdue icon award.
Just because Bey isn’t performing doesn’t mean she won’t show up. I’ll wait to see who all is in attendance but this performance list is a big snooze fest. I expected so much more for this year
Why karrueche tran is there for?
WAIT YALL LETTING JENNIFER HUDSON PERFORM… This girl can’t even find herself musically, I mean she’s a great singer and all, and I wish Clive Davis would stop trying to make her into the next Whitney Houston where is ciara Beyonce and rihanna to go along with alicia that’s all we need, all the rest are talentless
