People are expecting BET to do a Prince tribute justice? Did you see what they did to MJ last year?

Well, that was a last-minute plan....

No excuse.

If BET does this right they will get The Time and Sheila E to be a part. A Shelia E led Revolution like at the Family Jam would be hot. I can see Maxwell, Robert Randolph and why not Janet Jackson. I know his performance will bring the house down.

That would be fantastic but I've seen the list of shceduled performers and unless they're keeping the ones actually doing the tribute to Prince...a secret...I would so not get my hopes up...if I were you.

has prince ever gone on bet to promote his music? if he cant give his lover tavis an interview then i guess he wont talk to anyone else. he made one appearance on their award show and he going to get a lifetime award? did he even talk to bet during his purple rain days or was he too busy being mtv bitch to pay them a vist.

So you're holding a 26 year grudge?

EXACTLY!!! And to have his family there, like they were really just going to TURN IT OUT... for them as much as for Michael...when they could have been elsewhere dealing with their grief...was the utmost in utter contemptible disgracefulness!!!

Like I said... BET!!!!

It's not like they had to be there.

Jermaine's greasy head ass was just looking for a camera.

Again, when BET has thetime to put together a good show, with good tributes.

Like the ones they did for Chaka Khan and James Brown. They do a great job.

For anyone to deny that isn't being truthful.

Exactly....they should've just left the show the way it was originally because the 85% of the show was just full choas and bullcrap. Everything from Jamie Foxx's disrespectful and unruly opening and ridiculous outfit changes to the profanity that was used...it was just wrong on all levels.

Yes, that was very disappointing. Ciara was the only one I can remember who did a nice performance. One would think all these professionals would know how to create a beautiful show for MJ, even in 3 days, but oh no, too difficult for BET. Like I implied though, it wouldn't have happened at all if the tragedy hadn't occurred, so last year's show can't be compared to the planned tribute segment this year.

The Lifetime Achievement part of the ceremony is the only thing they get right and it's really the honorees we have to give gratitude to. Chaka, James, Whitney, EWF, Al Green, The O'Jays and Gladys all nailed their performances and trumped every other performance of the ceremony.

And while I wont comment on the penis length, that guy is plainly lacking any knowledge of history as BET was hardly what it is today in 1984 - it was not even on the majority of the cable systems in the US at that time. MTV was brand new but the revolution in the music business - anyone doing music needed to be invovled with them at that time

If you want to look at it that way, I certainly won't disagree with you, lol.

Who did they give the award to in 2007 and 2008? Were those good productions?

In 2007 it was Chaka and in 2008, it was Al! Both tributes were well done and who can forget Maxwell's surprise appearance during Al Green's tribute? That was just excellent...

Janet was the only family memeber that came to the BET awards last year. Jermaine and the others went to the AMAs, Grammys, VMAs, etc.

Chaka was in 2007? Darn, I thought that was '06. I actually saw that one. But yeah, the pattern so far is that planned tributes are done well, so, I don't think this one for Prince will be bad. I don't know.

I stand corrected Water! Diana Ross was in 2007 and the following year it was Al Green. Chaka's was in 2006...

Jermaine's bitch ass would have showed up for a chicken plucking at Popeye's, if it would have got him some camera time!

I was talking about Janet!

I really don't believe for one second, that she would have been there had they not made like it was going to be such a grand tribute!

SHOCKADELICA1 said:

YAY! I'm glad he's being honored!!

On a side note.....yesterday on BET's 106 & Park, rapper Drake said he wants 2 work with Prince

Gawd! I pray they don't have Drake come out and do one of his songs!!

Why not. Drake is one of the hottest MC's at the moment, and he's related to Larry Graham....

I think the rest of the family propelled her to go up there since Jermaine and Joe's ass were acting a damn fool and absorbing the silliness and foolishness of the entire show. Janet seemed pissed and dismayed when she went up there and I could tell.

Prince told Rolling Stone (after the release of Dirty Mind) that he was the son of a "half-Black father and Italian mother."

And that is well known to be a lie. The truth is Prince is Black, and if you read the Ebony issue he's in, he himself says that "we come in all colors" referring to himself and Black people.

I think her brother passing away may have had something to do with her being dismayed more than some silly awards show.

Drake is one of the scheduled performers for the 2010 BET Awards, too!

I am talking about the way Joe and Jermaine reacted to the whole situation. Of course she was mourning the passing of her brother, but I think deep down inside she was embaressed and disgusted at how a couple family members could almost throw away the fact that someone close to them had passed away and they could show their faces and act in a careless matter about Michael's death. Hell, Joe went on the red carpet that night talking about his future business endeavors and how he didn't want to discuss the passing of Michael as he believed it was irrelevant at the time because of this mess of an awards ceremony.
