Chris Brown, Rihanna and Drake mix-up at B.E.T Awards.



OK I know almost everybody in black America saw the B.E.T awards this past weekend. More so than a good show everyone's talking about the huge award mix up near the end of the program. In-short a regular fan was presenting the fan favorite award or something to that effect along side 106 & Park hostsTerrence and Rocsi. Now all show long presenters were reading the winners off an electronic notebook laptop kinda thing. So when she went to do so she was told to read the TelePrompter by Terrence. That's when you the viewer could realize something was going wrong. When the fan read the TelePrompter she looked very confused because what she read on the laptop was different from the telepromter. So the telepromter said the winner was Rihanna so that's what she said in front of millions but then she said thatChris Brown was the winner via the laptop. Everybody who's been alive this past couple of years knows the situation between Chris Brown and Rihanna and to mix up these two in that way was so


Drake
 unprofessional and flat out crazy. To make matters worst Rihanna's current so-called boyfriend Drake accepted the award for her which made the situation even more awkward. So to clear the situation all up THEY took the award from Drake that was supposed to be for Rihanna and gave it Chris Brown at the end of the program, thus solidifying the moment as blooper royality. How could this happen on our biggest night, when millions of viewers around the world was watching. Now every time I read or watch some media coverage of the program, all they talk about is the mix up and how unprofessional the program was produced and ran. Don't get me wrong I to thought it had it's unprofessional moments but to only talk about the program's mis-haps is not a fair assessment. So with that being said here's how the show looked from a fan of the music.

    The show started out with Mary J.Blige doing her thing looking pretty youthful singing some of her classic hits. I thought this was a good way to make Mary a little more relevant to today's young fan. Then My man , the host of the show Kevin Hart came out doing a step routine complete with little people, which made it very funny. Then he tore the house down with his no holds bard approach-making fun of almost everybody during his opening which continued throughout the program. Then Rick Ross, Dj Khaleed, Ace Hood andLil Wayne did their thing. Ross started out doing his single titled Aston Martin Music. Then Ace Hood came out with his street anthem titted Hustle Hard at the end Lil Wayne joined them all on stage to do his verse.
    Jill Scott did her thing singing her new single titledRolling Hills. Her show was tight complete with acting by Edris Alba. Alicia Keys tore the house down doing a new song then joining Bruno Mars as she did a few of her classic hits. Beyonce was telecast-ed in from England and her performances was kinds pop-ish and we've kind of seen it all before. Personally speacking Kelly Rowland did the best out of all the ladies. She captured the moment and really let me know that she is a force to be reckoned with. I am so happy for her and the current success she's having.
    Now Trey Songs did his thing-putting it down and taking it off for the ladies. I like to see a crooner really work the crowd like they did back in the day. New commer Big Sean did his single titled my last with Chris Brown. I really wasn't feeling his performance. I thought even Chris brown can't help his too laid back delivery. But Chris brown himself stole the show. First he came out with the illest zuit suit I have ever seen, singing his new joint I thought it was you. Then he was accompanied by dancers and he ripped the zuit suit off and started dancing with his crew singing his hit titled look at me now. But it was Busta Rhymes who I thought took over and made this the number one performance.
    Other stars included Ledesi, Marsha Ambrosia, Quen Latifah, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Nelly, Bobby Brown, Jermaine Dupree, Nick Cannon, Willow and Jaden Smith, Cee Lo Green, Patti Labelle and a host of others. All in all the show was pretty good and I thought it showcased black America in a positive light. Until next time have some fun and get something done.
