Who's gonna watch the BET Awards tonight? If you are, who are you most excited to see tonight?

All we are good for is entertaining white folk with our coonery, so I'll pass.

Bruno Mars is ripping it!

It was a mistake having Bruno open the awards.

BTW I'm seeing him in September!

And i hope Solange performs!!!

Bruno did his thing, now I'm just waiting for the NE portion, I'm only half paying attention to the rest of this shit..

Yes she is!

I think Leslie's doing her thing, even though the audience only seems slightly invested.

Xscape still got it!!! Should've done The Arms Of The One Who Loves You and the remix of Just Kickin' It.

That was cool seeing the actors up there with NE for If It Isn't Love, great tribute to a great group!

The 2017 BET Awards Show upheld its usual A grade standards for entertainment quality

and social values quality. Most people would agree that the opener is quite charming from Mars & Co.

Leslie Jones provided her own funny, unique way of performing MC Hostess activites

that kept the introductions and transitions funny, fresh and interesting.

The show featured plenty of ladies that made insightful statements, performed their

different roles effectlively whether it was as award accepters, award presenters,

and\or performers (excellent vocal performances from Xscape, T. Braxton, SZA,

Mary J. Blige as ony 4 examples)

Last but most imporantly (joking, kind of) lots of ladies looked very fashionably sexy.

The easiest top quality vocal performances from the dudes were from

New Edition (a group easily worthy of the lifetime acheivement award),

Maxwell, Kamasi Washington & El Debarge, Khalid, Chris Brown & Gucci Mane, Mars & Co.,

and the peformers that performed New Editions tunes (includes New Edition themselves).

I most thankfully like the choices of Tamika Mallory for the Shine a Light Award

Chance the Rapper for the Humanitarian Award.

The only criticism is that that DJ Khalid was not receiving enough chances to promote his new album.

For anyone that missed the buy might have an interest

this awards show is definitely worthy of the effort to watch and enjoy it if you get to do that.

He has several music videos with over 100 million views and others with between 20 & 100 million. He's also been on Ellen & The View. So his promotion doesn't appear to be lacking to me.

I try not to be the old fart but damn I had to turn from that shit a few times.

The rappers whom I didn't know who the fuck they were just jumping around making

noise. I liked El DeBarge tribute to George Michael and NE was okay but nothing I haven't

already seen from them. I liked Xcape's return even though I missed them in real time.

I hope Kandi just had a off night because her voice was off. The rest of the girls were on

point. Good to see the girls back together and put their issues behind them. These girls were

quietly platinum selling artists but didn't get the pub female groups like TLC, SWV, and Destiny's Child.

Lower register singing is hard to pull off in a live setting. She hit that high note though.
