Last night the 2010 BET Awards were full of a lot of awesome performances and appearances. Kanye West opened the show, which was his first appearance since his Taylor Swift interruption on the MTV VMA's last year. We also got a chance to see T.I. return to the spotlight after his recent release from prison. Now BET pulled a fast one on us, because we were not expecting the 1980's hitmaker, El DeBarge. His performances were so awesome, and glad that he is back!
Hands down, the best performance of the evening goes to Chris Brown, with his tribute to the King of Pop. Many say that the way he performed Jackson's signature dance moves with an eerie accuracy. Chris definitely held his own all the way to the moving song "Man in the Mirror" when his emotions got the best of him. Later in the evening, Chris mentioned that he let his fans down before, but made a promise to not let it happen again.
New to the entertainment scene, was Nicki Minaj. She is know for her very animated style and the crazy faces she makes with rapping, but I can say I was disappointed last night with her numerous performances. She already doesn't have the upper hand in the Hip Hop industry because she is a female, so when she decided to perform last night and just have her rapped lyrics play as she moved her mouth to them, was not a good look. So performance is definitely an area she has room to improve in.
Now I was very disappointed with Ms Alicia Keys last night. I am a firm believer of embracing the gift of pregnancy....but everything has to be done tastefully. Her first gown when she accepted her award was gorgeous, but the purple number and those bulky pink shoes she decided to rock for her first performance....was horrible. Thankfully last night was a night a redemption, and many performers received a second opportunity to perform. Alicia was able to pull a better look off with all black for her tribute performance for Prince.
One word for Ms Patti LaBelle's performance....amazing. She was great all the way to the end as she sang "Purple Rain" when she kicked off her $3,000 Christian Louboutin pumps!
We all know that Prince is such a talented and humble man, and he was definitely deserving of his tribute. What was funny is that he wore a tunic with his own image on it, and it looked amazing on him.
These were just a few highlights of the 2010 BET Awards, I can say that this awards show has come a long way, but has plenty of room for improvement. Maybe next year will be a little better...who am I kidding, we have to take baby steps!
