Almost everyone was lip singing, or in DJ KHALED's case, Lip Hyping... (I forget what Mike called it. lol)
The sound production and quality was HORRIBLE throughout the night. Everyone who was actually singing's voice was wayyyy too loowww. You couldn't hear a damn thing.
Things that stood out: T-Pain moving in slow motion? Wtf?
The Chris Brown / Ciara set with the water and shapes was dope. Definitely stealing that for a work presentation. Although they got a little riskay with it lol.
Kanye bringing Weezy up on stage with him after Kanye won best male hip-hop artist of the year.
I'm not sure why BET thought half their viewers would even know who al green was or the rest of the soul singers performing. But they all held it down for sure that was the best part to me. Including WARREN SAPP! THE HOST DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHO HE WAS LOL!!!
Warren Sapp
Marvin Sapp
Small difference.
What else...
Ne-yo came with the Jabbawockeez. They're the newest for performances, Jacking that for a work presentation too.
Why did it feel like there was nooooobbody there. The director kept turning to the same people for reaction shots: Kanye, three six, Bun b, Lil Wayne, Diddy, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown and his bitch and like noooobody else.
Alicia Keys bringing out SWV, en vogue and TLC was a good look. But again... people that actually sing at their performance = no love from BET because the volume stayyyyyyyyyyssssss down.
MC Lyte needs to stay out of the spotlyte. Her agent is working double time to get her gigs lately and she's pretty annoying to me. Good music. Annoying host/announcer.
Anyway, Recap Final Grade: C
Half the people weren't around for their awards acceptances, The performances were either faked or so turned down you couldn't hear anything over the beat. The scripting was terrible. Sets and designs and logos were half assed.
Pictures, Videos and More to come later of course. Nothing gets posted on youtube within the first 5 minutes of the show ending. Peace to the gods!
