I hope they just do A video montage. Unless they have been planing it since the second they heard he passed, because he deserves a wellplanned/executed tribute.

The BET Awards is always good. Sure it's gonna be last minute with the tribute stuff, but I know for sure everybody is gonna bring it.

If Usher and Justin Timberlake ain't doing some sort of MJ tribute i'd be highly dissapointed. MJ birthed those cats careers. I could careless aboutChris Brown. I know he's going through his situation. Seems like it would be a great chance for him to get back positive in the light by doing a CB tributebut I fear cat would get boo'd off stage.

But naw the real fear Igot is that the MJ death happened so late this weak that they're going to try to rush a tribute and its gonna be half assed.

I actually think its one of the more solid award shows. I don't really care about the awards but the entertainment value is high. Especially with Jamiehosting this year.

I got a feeling this is going to be the Drake show. Don't know why. I just think the media is trying to force him on us and BET is gonna takea chance and continue the push.

Nope. If he's in the building with Rihanna, he goes to prison for six months. He has to skip the show.

It has its moments... I mean they actually brought the Fugees back, had the whole casts of Good Times and the Fresh Prince back on the stage,Alicia Keyes bringing out En Vogue, SWV, and TLC, Maxwell coming out of nowhere during Al Greens tribute, when MJ came out during James Brownstribute/performance, and the Touch It remix

. Noone even cares about the actual awards, its just the moments and performances, plus Jaime Foxx should be comedy this year, and hope to see atribute to Michael.

agreed.....but this one has to be exceptional

they need to make sure this is not something that is rushed...they should have no problems getting acts to sign on for this tribute...Mike has influenced tomany RnB stars...

Will be looking forward to this.

The tribute to Mike should be epic.

 

[Jordan8]

Rhianna needs to stay at the crib then cause you cant have a new school tribute to Mike without CB. I dont think BET will let Brown do it tho
