Paula Patton was "dancing with Molly" or something.

Yeah seriously....was she high?? She seemed so weird to me. What was that about???

Was she? HELLZ YES.

The fellas were trying to cover for her. When they repeat it, watch that segment again.

I thought she was gonna bite Boris on the ass for a second there.

I'd hate to see Nicole beat her down in the middle of the show.

She was either on E, tequila or a combination of the two. She was definitely on something mood enhancing.

"Robin, come get cha wife!"

Probably "I wonder how much this divorce is gonna cost me?"

Best dressed: Gabrielle Douglas

Best DRESS: Megan Goode!

I think I see why she married a preacher. She probably figured if she's gonna hear "Good God" "Lawd" "Sweet Jesus" "Lord have mercy" and "Oh my God" all of the time, she may as well get something out of it.

I have to say that Janelle Monae did a good job. She was the best performance, and looks like she stepped up her game a bit.

The Reggae performance was overshadowed by too much shouting. They were definitely missing Sean Paul.

And SHABBA!!!!!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion

but I think the quality complaints are either from haters doing their thing

or people who were not in a very nice of state mind they were watching.

I have evaluated 100s of live music and live TV performances for

more than 30 years.

I have chosen live music performers to perform at venues

at 2 large universities where I have received feedback about those performances,

positive and negative, from audience members with high standards

for entertainment.

I have competed in music performance contests

in multiple types of music and I have earned 1st place awards

both as a solo performer and as part of several different large scale bands.

In all honesty and accuracy, this show deserves an A+

for both the content and the overall visual presentation.

Even the after-the-show party was a top quality mix of

comedy and class.

The 2013 awards show is an A+ combination of top quality

old and new music from high profile and low profile performers,

comedy, awards presentation, live performance skills, social responsibility

and role models (example: the complete explanation of the Humanitarian

award for Dwayne Wade), and class.

And, most importantly and most of all,

the sexiest ladies on basic cable (or at a least tie with Bravo).

If you have not watched it yet do what you gotta do watch

the repeat broadcast or the BET website/You Tube highlights.

You'll be glad you did.

I respect everything u say.....I honestly do

this is the thing

you can't utter profanity on a show (rather is BET or any other program)

then receive an award, get on stage and say I LIKE TO THANK GOD

that's not gone cut it.....that's not going to work

everything, everything starts w/the quality of the music or the lack thereof

not the visual effects or the technoligy, but the authenticity, where everything isn't being pushed or comes across contrived......

I've also watched how things have evolved over the past 27 years

and I'm far from being a hater.....but I also believe in high standards that bring out the best in all of us

see, the reason these shows are trying to bring the whole ball of wax (the old and the new, the social commentary, and the comedy)....

is because they know the music is not as good or compelling as it once was.....

Charlie Wilson knows the deal, but he's not going to say it

a couple of years ago, I think it was either the 2010 bet awards show or the 2011 version

I saw BET CEO Debra Lee

I saw here sitting in the audience, and the expression she gave to what she was witnessing told me everything I need to know

I saw sadness in her eyes, as if she was asking herself how did it all come to this

what's the saying, actions speak louder than words.....

[Edited 7/1/13 4:46am]

Janelle..................

That is one FINE woman.

Ok...........Ciara has changed my mind.

[Edited 7/1/13 6:30am]

I kinda enjoyed the awards..my first time watching the whole show. There were so many ppl I wanted to see..

Shout out to:

Miguel

Kendrick Lamar

J. Cole

& Janelle

^^The reasons why I tuned in..

But Robin was great, R. Kelly was great even with the technical difficulties.. The Charlie Wilson tribute was AWESOME!! Uncle Charlie shut it down! Ciara was fun to watch.. The reggae/dancehall had me turnt up!! ...and Erykah's booty stole the show

Was Charlie using a backing track?

He sounded really GOOD................like 2 good 4 that 2 be live.

That's definitely live. On the first song "You Are," you can hear some of the distortion in the mic when he holds it a little too close. Then there's the ab-libs and runs he threw in there.

I forgot all about it. I may watch the highlights on the BET website and post my thoughts later.

Did y'all see when El Debarge was standing up with his arms spread out witnessing to that song as Charlie was singing?

Charlie's voice is ON POINT.

I kept saying...............that is just 2 good 2 be live.

LOl............he is one of my all time favs.

I love the fact that he is still with us doing what he loves.

I don't really care 4 the hiphop stuff 2 much, but so be it.

Charlie is a pure vocalist. He is probably one of the most underrated R&B vocalists in the business.

He's got a lot of leeches syphoning off his talents.

@Tokyo89 - The booty don't lie.

^^ Oh Man she is so damn Megan FINE! I wish I knew it was being streamed live online. I hope they post the show on you tube or something.

Don't worry. BET will rerun the hell out of this show. Probably as early as Tuesday or Wednesday based on the past.

I don't recall if she was always so well built or not but she sure has come along since her early days in Eve's Bayou.

No disrespect to Charlie Wilson but Parliament Funakdelic is long overdue for the Lifetime Achievement Award. I dig Charlie's music but as a live performer, his performances put me to sleep.

i was thinkin the same thing. seems lyke they've just about honored everybody from the old skool but Bootsy+George and that'z a damn shame,..especially since a lot of the OG lineup isnt around anymore and many other are passin on...

I'm just glad Kels didn't throw his jacket into the crowd.

No cable. I refuse to pay.

Chris Brown could murder half the BET staff members, beat the shit out of a baby, admit he is in the illumaniti and slayed 100's of goats and bathed in their blood while chanting devil poems...

And they would still give him an award every single mother fucking year no matter what

Yep. And the award he won was not even a legit one (none of them are to me but still) They did kiss his butt less this year compared to past BET award shows, he was pretty much an after thought until he won that award. Maybe that was another reason I was able to tolerate it this year .

I will get slayed for this but i loved miguel & J. Cole doing their thing... and after seeing Miguel a few times in person and live... i can say he is not only talented but sexy as fuck

Half Black Half Mexican mix! and he wears fly clothes...

I am ready for the flood gates come at me

Was it even that big of a song? The last major hit he had to me was off F.A.M.E, Fine china is nice but not enough. And don't worry I love me some miguel too

Fine China! yeah that song... had little airplay but otherwise he has just been doing modest radio wise.

And good! after seeing him in person i mean.. i am 6'5 so to me he is incredibly short but i like my men short anyways so i am biased
