Wait a minute! Why hasn't Michael Jackson won a BET achievement award? | |

I have no idea. It would look forced if they did it now too.
They should have did it well before he passed. | |

He was considered for a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, but MJ himself made BET give it to James Brown because he thought he believed he deserved it more. They should change gears and give him a posthumous award to make up for those horrendous tributes they've done for him (Chris Brown performance last year included!)

That was not horrendous. That shit was the best BET Award performance period. | |

I was talking about MJ's tributes from '09 three days after his death and that little Chris Brown stunt from last year. Everybody knows that James Brown's tribute/performance was the best BET Award moment ever... Check me out and add me on:

I had to find a new one today. I'm always trying to change up. | |

True. I doubt they'll give Tina one. They never gave her any respect. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
But I can see George getting it.what i wanna know is why was whitney first? not saying she dont deserve to be honored but wtf. | |

BET was gonna induct an older legend but I think they wanted to attract younger audiences so they gave it to Whitney. I forgot who they said was gonna get it before they chose Whitney though. I think it was James Brown but I'm not sure. | |

Hell, give it Chaka for the 3rd time.

Exactly.
Plus, it was the first BET awards show, so they had to attract younger viewers. I mean, it was 2001 for god's sake. Not a good choice agreed, but meh... Check me out and add me on:

I love me some Earth, Wind and Fire, but how on earth were they the second inductees? Fair enough, Whitney first as she probably had a record out at the time and was still known to younger viewers, but I'd give it to about 30 other people before EWF. | |

i always love watching this... it warms my heart to see michael in the presence of HIS life's teacher, and to present an award to him for his achievements. how many of us get to be in the presence of those we consider our true teachers?
i consider michael to be mine, and i know i will never get to physically thank him for all he's taught me. so to see this makes me so proud. | |
