Prince and the upcoming BET awards show

Not sure if you guys were aware of this..but this is a statement I acme across recently....I thought this may be a possibility based on James Brown and Michael Jackson's appearance on the show last year....check below and tell me what you think.

R&B singer and actress Beyonce is up for a total of four honors at the fourth Annual BET Awards, the organizers announced this morning at the press conference for the event, scheduled to air live June 29 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the music channel.

The multi-platinum recording artist received music nominations for best R&B female, as well as viewer's choice and best video of the year for her song "Crazy In Love." For her role in the film The Fighting Temptations, Beyonce also places in the best actress category.

Rap group Outkast received three nominations. Outkast is up for best group, viewer's choice, and best video of the year.

Prince will receive the event's lifetime achievement award. Comic legend Bill Cosby will be presented with the humanitarian award. Ashanti, Black Eyed Peas, Missy Elliott, Ruben Studdard, Luther Vandross and Kanye West each received two nominations.

Controversial pop icon Janet Jackson will host the event, as well as perform, alongside other scheduled performers including Brandy, Kanye West and Usher.

Wow. I hadn't heard this. This is divine.

BET always treats Prince with respect.

I wonder who will be part of the tribute. I hope not Alicia and Outkast again rolleyes


And the all-consuming question. What will Prince perform? Because of the audience, he should try out Family Name, then a song from Musicology, and end with a well-worn classic or hardly-played-live classic.

I sincerely doubt Prince will be performing at the awards broadcast. He's scheduled to play Chicago that night.

He BETTA not play at the awards broadcast, cuz I got tickets to the show in Chicago that night!!! mad

Though it would be really cool if he did a thank-you live from the stage of his show and did a simulcast performance from Chicago.

I think Bill Cosby will cause most controversy because of his recent comments. It's nice that Prince is being honored. He definitely deserves it. clapping hug

Sorry but that information is incorrect. The Isley Brothers will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award and Danny Glover will receive the Humanatarian award.

I'd like to know where you got your facts from, not wishing this wasn't true.

On BET Nightly News, this is what I've heard twice. Beyonce is true. But the Lifetime achievement award is going to the Isley Brothers this year and MoniQue (The Parkers, Soul Plane) is hosting for the 2nd time in a row this year. And I don't know nothin' about Bill Cosby.

All the other stuff you mentioned sounds on it and I was hoping P would get the Lifetime Award, but they said The Isley Brothers.
