I really enjoyed this year of the awards, Alicia Keys was off key and beside herself, getting all hot and bothered singing to Prince onstage! Patti brought it home, Chris Brown stole the show up there crying like that it took us all by suprise. He made me feel really bad for him. Trey Songz fucked that song up sounding like a chipmunk....

Queen was a great hostess!!!

Hot, look at ol gorl checking out the bootay!

A bevy of music stars are on tap to perform a tribute to Prince during Sunday night's BET Awards. One singer who will not be there serenading the well-heeled industry crowd is Mel'isa Morgan – the only powerhouse vocalist to hit the top of the charts with a sultry version of Prince's naughty ballad 'Do Me Baby' in 1986. Sources close to the production hint that avant-garde rock & soul wonder Janelle Monae, and Patti LaBelle will be among a handful of female singers hand-selected (by Prince) to do the honors of performing a medley of his hits. Morgan wasn't even considered for the task."You know, I heard about the 'BET Awards' show planning a tribute to Prince and I sent out a few emails to see what was going on but, for some reason -- even though everyone in music industry knows that I have recorded a #1 Prince song and it stayed #1 for 4 weeks -- I am still kind of under the radar when it comes to asking me to be a part of shows like this," Morgan told Blackvoices.com today. "I did not hear back from anyone," the 'Fools Paradise' belter revealed. "So I guess I won't be there to show him my love." Over the years, only a few singers would dare touch Prince's well-guarded catalog of hits, most notably his frequent collaborator Chaka Khan ('I Feel For You'), and other singers such as Stephanie Mills ('How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore?'), Sinead O'Connor ('Nothing Compares 2 U'), T-Boz ('If I Was Your Girlfriend'), and Randy Crawford ('Purple Rain'). A musical genius of the highest order, Prince has give credit where it's due and reportedly acknowledged that the Queens, New York-bred Morgan made his 'Do Me Baby' a "great" song. "The reason why the audience can't get enough of [my version of] ... is because the delivery of the vocals are real," she attested. "When I do that song, the audience goes back to what they were doing when it came out...how many babies they made off that song and especially how sensual it makes you feel." "Even now," she continued, "No matter where I am...when I start to sing that song the first thing I hear "That's my Song" from someone in the audience and they just let the song take them away ... I think I was able to make the song sexier and when I hit the high note...it just brings chills right down to your bones...because when I hear it on the radio...that's what it does to me." About being conspicuously omitted from the biggest televised celebration of black music, there are no sour grapes on Morgan's part The former Capitol Records hit-maker, who regularly tours off of the strength of her 1980s hits – and continues to be a mainstay on R&B radio's Quiet Storm formats, is taking the high road. "I do hope Prince knows in his heart that doing that song was very special for me and if he knows that ...I am cool." __________________

I loved her version. She would have been way better than what I saw.

Oh this is great! This gif will be around for a while, lol. Looks like he's saying "Gurrrrrrl..." Prince is throwin' Mad Shade! LOL! I think these two seconds capture his personality well, lol. I gotta give it to Prince, he's something else! I just can't imagine what it would be like to be around him, lol.

You bunch of cowards are always leaving the hard questions for me to ask!

Has Shelby J. always been bald under her hats and scarves? I'm not being funny, I'm just curious because I never noticed her head before.

Prince's expressions alone made the underwhelming tribute worth watching.

This one's my fave:

[img:$uid]http://i45.tinypic.com/2it3m1w.jpg[/img:$uid]

I love how he tries to be sly with the shady looks and Shelby J doesn't give fuck. She was laughing her way through each performance

,,,,,,,They had that mental telepathy thing going. He never said a word but both would look at the same time...nod, laugh and look away. Something out of a Star Trek scene.

Alicia's freaky ass was on point. She went up and down on that piano like a bouncing ball.

The BET awards over all pretty good this year, here are my thoughts

-Kanye didn't do much for me, he's gonna float one day if his head gets any bigger lol

-Usher, why did he choose such a boring song to perform, i expected some energy from him

-TI was ok

-Eminem, sit down

-Alicia got such a big intro to her performance i thought she was gonna ger some kind of award lol

-Chris brown.... I loved his tribute and i think michael would have been proud. His tribute is up there with janet's. When he cried i got teary eyes and cried with him, i think he was crying because he obviously loved michael and idolized him and to get the chance to honor him when people have shunned him is huge. Also the lyrics of man in the mirror must've gotten to him, people usually cry to this song anyways so add all of these elements and i can see why he broke down, those tears seemed genuine to me.

-EL FREAKIN DEBARGE! i haven't seen dude in years i so happy to see him perform, he still got it i love this dude. He went thru a medley a some of my favorite debarge songs and i was pleased.

-PRINCE! he was giving all kinds of side eyes that were killin me lol i think he over all enjoyed the show and i am soooo happy he was honored because he doesn't get enough recognition. Alicis is a fiesty pregnant thing lol the look prince gave her was hilarious. Janelle is a bit much for me but i like her energy and i can appreciate her artistry. Patti brought it home, when she came out i was like YASSSS!

-Tyrese did teddy justice and i almost thru my panties at my computer screen lol( iwas watching it from a live stream)

I think ole,...Ms. Morgan..., is getting way ahead of herself if she think her version was better than Prince!

Esparanza Spalding killed (jammed) the heck out of "If I Was Your Girlfriend"!!!!!

Great comeback for CB

some people come in with the lame comebacks and it's funny as hell

One of the many reasons I love Prince: his facial expressions. Watching his reactions was more entertaining than the folks on stage! He had me WEAK!!!

I don't understand why Nicki Minaj felt the need to lipsynch! Ain't like the bitch gotta worry about hittin' a bum note or somethin'...

The only other performance I liked was El Debarge.

My on the MJ tribute: Dancing was on point, but he should've left it at that. If Usher, one of MJ's biggest dick-riders, can stand next to his casket and manage to get to the end of "Gone Too Soon" before showing some emotion, Chris can get through "Man In The Mirror." I think it was more of his personal problems making an appearance than anything else. Again, just my

I thought Chris Brown's dance tribute to Michael was on point, especially the laser light on the clothes bit, that was tight. BET dropped the ball because they really should have let him do that last year.

As for his crying on "Man in the Mirror"...that was some F U N N Y shit!!! I couldn't help myself...I laughed my damn ass off! I was literally rolling around on the floor, cracking the fuck up! [img:$uid]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/SexyBeautifulOne/lmao.gif[/img:$uid]

Every time I watch it, I keep laughing!

Yeah that was shit, what the hell was BET thinking let Chris do that, he can just about dance, the so-called singing was a joke....

how his performance during "Man In The Mirror " was funny I really don't understand, it was not even funny, even tho i think he should have controlled himself alittle bit but it was not funny......

^ you cant help but think that he improvised with the crying because he couldnt get his voice together- that or either you were wasted and laughing was really you crying....

I really don't get how people can say that Chris Brown's performance of "Man in the Mirror" was funny at all. And most of all I don't get how people are saying that he really wasn't crying or it was all an act. Please. There are just going to be some cold, hardcore angry ass, non-forgiving people no matter what. I feel that his performance was genuine, he worked hard, and it paid off. He did an excellent job with his performance. I wouldn't have preferred for him to be sobbing through the last piece of the performance but that's how he felt. People really do forget that EVERYONE does have emotions. Everybody's made mistakes in their lives, there isn't one PERFECT person in the world let alone on the ORG. So there I said it. And that's my rant for the day.

I agree with everything you said, I felt he was genuine..... I won't even bothered to respond to some orgers who said that he cried because of his personal problems Give me a break, how did you know? you live inside of him? I really don't understand...you simply don't know....

I'm not a chris brown fan, never was and never will be, but I felt he was honest.

^^Just our

Ain't that big of a deal.

2- He didn't get emotional because of his persoanl problems , thats for sure......
