It's BET standards, so it's not really silly.

kev1n said:

ya makes no sense to me since BET already notes Prince as "arguably the greatest live live performer".

Milty said:

They did say Chris Brown draws comparisons to him.

Lost all respect for BET. These people in bold should not even be listed next to the rest.

Where the hell is Miss Patti Labelle on this list?

The ONLY I reason I even clicked this thread is to see what ridiculous names they have up there, & they don't disappoint Half these bitches DON'T EVEN SING LIVE!!! How in the sam hell can you even be considered the "greatest" when your mic ain't on???

LAUGHABLE

this list makes no sense.

The guy in you avatar ain't even on the list.

Case Closed. Furthermore, if it wasn't for James Brown, none of these people would have a career .Because alot of them were influenced by his grooves , moves, and stage presence.

Fixed.

I do, my second favorite artist (maybe even first) of All-Time.

I'm sure their "panel of experts" will be another laugh-fest.


Wonder if they'll even mention...

just joking it's 5o cent

Wow. This is getting more and more amazing as the years go by.

theAudience said:

TA, They don't know nothing about the original Candyman and member of the Brat Pack. It's ahead of their time.

MJ

Prince and MJ-they both get props

Case Closed.

Why does Chris Brown keep popping up on these lists alongside legends?

I dig Michael Jackson, he's the greatest live performer of my time, I'm only 26. But I'm believe 100% that James Brown was the greatest live performer, period!

Just looking at that TAMI show performance alone, it's unbelievable. Live performer, as a singer, hands down, Patti Labelle. And she's not even on the list.

What James Brown did with his feet, she does with her voice.
