SHAWNI-SPEAKS...about...The BET Awards...

Ok...so...I guess the only place to begin...is the beginning.

Although Kanye stood on top of a man-made mountain in front of virtual landscapes for the entire set...HE KILLED IT! I missed him. Looks like he's back...and possibly better than before.

Next up! Young Money. Ok. So I definitely knew Nicki and Drake were gonna get awards. What I'm not understanding is why the entire whack a$$ Young Money Cru felt the need to bring their crusty a$$es on stage??? Really. You lames just had to get some camera time, huh? I'm just glad Drake didn't have everybody and their grandfathers on stage during his performance. TY Drizzy!

Now...why are folks hatin' so hard on Nicki. Seems like I'm the only one that likes the broad. So what she had on a long a$$ dress that looked like she was ready to walk down the isle in. So what if her wig was redish-orange like strawberry-pumpkin kool-aid. So what if she was lip sync-ing when she performed with Diddy Dirty Money...hold up...wait...wait...NO...that was wrong. So so wrong. Why in the hell was Diddy's mic...the only one on. Fa Real. Is he that egotistical...he had to highlight himself and make everyone look like dickheads? Guess so.

Moving on. CHRIS! Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris. Publicity stunt or not. That was the best performance of the night. I was choked up like $h*t. Seriously, tears were flowing. I mean...how could you not feel that. Number 1...it was THE MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE. Number 2...it was the hottest MJ tribute I've seen thus far since MJ's death last year. Number 3...the light lined out suit were sick. Number 4...the song that Chris was unable to finish was "Man In The Mirror". If you hadn't forgiven Chris before...YOU DID AT THAT MOMENT. And even if you didn't...at that moment...he forgave himself. You had to feel and respect that. I did!!!

Next up. Debarge. Ok...way to come back. He sounds and looks exactly the same. Good Music. On the other hand...did he really have to have two sets???

Alright...before I talk about the Prince Tribute...I have to talk about the last performance of the night. I'm watching it as I type and I'm highly disappointed about the Nicky part. ONCE AGAIN...her a$$ was lip-sync-ing. WTF. REALLY...WTFF???? Now I'm irratated...now I'm gonna have to defend her a$$ on facebook. What can I say? If it only happened once, I could come up with something. BUT TWICE. Now...three times!!! Damn, folk! My people gon' be talkin' mad $h*t. I can just see it now..."Yo' girl, Nicki gon' be workin' the pole next year"..."Yo' whack a$$ homie wit the many voices sucked a$$ tonight"..."Yo...that fake booty b*tch is a long nosed lame a$$ fake rapper"!!! I don't care...Imma ride for her any way. She's still the baddest in the game...right now!

Ok...now for the my dude PRINCE. I really wish we seen more songs. I loved Janelle's set. The 2nd chick (who I can't remember at this point in time) was awesome...but what was she playing? A Vio-Chello??? Whatever it was...it looked and sounded A-MA-ZING! Alisha's part...WELL...all I remember is seeing Prince's face when she got her pregnant a$$ on that piano. DID YOU SEE IT??? He was like..."OMG...I'm gonna laugh my f*ckin' a$$ off if she falls". He even looked around to see if anyone else was thinkin' the same thing. HILARIOUS!!!

I truly enjoyed myself. Even the smoke out on Diddy. Too funny.

Well...it's time to hit FB...Shawni-Has-Spoken!!!
