2009 BET AWARDS:

"So 3008 or so 2000 and late?!"

So this past Sunday [June 28th], was the 2009 BET Awards show. I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to attend this year but i did watch it in the comfort of my home. I was actually a bit surprised and disappointed. I felt the overall energy was lacking a bit. None of the performances seemed to really impress me. Even though it kept me somewhat entertained, I had completely lost interest half way through the show.

However i do want to give an honorable mention to Keri Hilson, who was also crowned " Best new artist". Even though her vocals weren't the best during her performance, I think she had overall outstanding energy. Neyo and Jamie's performance of their song "She got her own" went well [and special shout out to the female dancer/ballerina on stage with them, she was on point!]. Beyonce vocals were amazing as usual, but i really wished she wouldn't of done "Ave maria" it's a beautiful song, but made for a boring performance.But apparently that didn't matter given the fact this "Diva" won two awards: Best female R&B artist, and Video of the year for "Single Ladies". She without a doubt deserved both, the woman is simply unstoppable.

And Jamie Foxx as a host was...well....
