BET to give Prince lifetime achievement award - June 27 - PART 2

[I have created this thread as the other one has gotten way too long so I've started a fresh BET Award thread - luv4u]

Here's the link of the first thread that was featured:

NEW YORK – This month's BET Awards will be a royal affair: Prince is getting a lifetime achievement honor. The 51-year-old joins the likes of James Brown, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross and Al Green in being honored by the BET Awards, which will celebrate its 10th year in Los Angeles on June 27. BET says the Prince tribute will stand out. Stephen G. Hill, president of programming, music and specials for the network, said BET will celebrate the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's "unique style." "Prince is dynamic. Prince is genius. Prince is music," Hill said of the performer, who has 10 platinum albums and 30 Top 40 singles to his name. The BET show will be hosted by Queen Latifah and include performances by Kanye West.

El Debarge singing "All This Love";one of his classics, as well as "Ooh, I like it"....not bad. Good to see him though.

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Wow, El is singing all the DeBarge classics! Now that's some real music. It's about time! I got tired of the grasshoppers jumping around the stage.

His voice is a bit off, but I guess that comes with age.

No, I don't think I could take Al, but wouldn't be too bad if they brought him on. They should have taken some acts from the 90s. El is losing his voice a bit, but he's trying.

lol Don't they know El is biracial? (half black/half white). His father was white and his mother is Black, and she is very religious. But yeah, El could pass for Hispanic.

His mistake was trying to run around the theatre...he got out of breath after that. But before that he hit that high note.
