you award show was horrible i know y'all had three days to change it around, but it was a horrible tribute to the king of pop. y'all had jamie fox and neyo singing all night. y'all should have called first of all chris brown, usher, justin timberlake, mario, etc... the king of pop deserve better than that award show.. i hope the mtv awards will do something better in honor to the great legend... and what was beyonce doing????????????

August 25, 2009

i would like to thank bet for a wonderful tribute to michael jackson. jamie foxx did a great job. remember, he is a comedian. what makes the jokes funny is that they hold some bit of truth. i loved michael and will miss him dearly. why give a fake tribute? i commend bet for pulling off a great show in such a short amount of time. it is an example of how entertainers have to endure last minute changes and still give a great performance. some performances i thought were lacking (jay-z, beyonce & ciara, etc.) as i am a fan of each, but they gave subpar performances. i guess they weighed too

August 2, 2009

i also was disappointed i had expected more but i also realized mj's death was very sudden and highly unexpected. plans for the show were basically complete. i guess the most disappointing part was the absence of usher and cris brown. i understand chris was wrong and he needs to learn a lesson but wveryone deserves 2nd chances and i just didn't like how jay z was able to block chris from performing. as an older member of society and as someone who has/had some type of open communication jay z should have mentored chris not shun him. i give props to puffy, i hope he gave chris a good talking to

July 31, 2009

to be honest the only reason i watched this years show was because it was dedicated to michael jackson. i was really upset at the fact the whole show sucked. michael jackson never once gave a bad performance, so why in the world wouldn't bet go above and beyond to honor the "king of pop".

July 10, 2009

i will truly miss mj i feel like i lost my best friend r.i.p mj your music will live on forever in our hearts love u.

i was very disappointed with the bet awards tribute to michael jackson especially with how jamiee foxx kept promoting his upcoming tour....i mean...my god...we had lost a pop icon. i understand that the show only had 2 days to get the tribute together...and had it not been for jamie foxx's ignorance and bafoonery...and the distasteful sketches done by rhames and tyreese.....and just the overall brokedowness of it all.....it would have been a halfway decent tribute....i was ashamed and embarrased...i was also disappointed with bet not allowing chris brown...to pay tribute to king of pop....m

the brown family will always keep you in our hart u will be mis.

July 6, 2009

i thought that bet did an okay job considerin the time but how onearth could you not let chris brown perform?? he would have been incredible.. supposedly chris didnt perform because of comments made by jay z. this is sooo sad the night was supposed to be about michael jackson; chris brown perfromed for him when he was alive how can you not allow him to prefrorm inthe tribute! it is soo sad that bet allowed people like jay z (who had a horrible performance) to influence how they made the show!!!!! i hope mtv does a great job and allow people to pay tribute dispite personal matters!!!!!!!!!

July 6, 2009

the tribute to michael jackson was wonderful. i just think that some one needs to let beyonce know that her tribute was not appealing at all. i was not understanding how she could not even mention michael jackson name, before dedicating a song in his honor. i am not one of those beyonce haters, i just did not get what she was wearing and her performance was awlful. beyonce, needs to be told by bet that you are a role model to younger women and her bra and panties attire needs to be laid to rest. i no that michael jackson was a fan of classical music but beyonce did not give tribute to the lega

bet...historic event..this is what you all said and everyone, i mean people that have never taken the time to watch your network tuned in for this (historic event). please inform jamie foxx to think before he speaks. what he said was totally unnecessary and unintelligent. bet because you mentioned that michael would be honored, your viewing audience immediately expanded to many cultures. michael never talked or supported those statements out of jamie's mouth and what jamie said gave no honor to michael and what he stood for in us all being unified. chris brown not performing in a michael jack

July 5, 2009

people, people,be considerate. most of the comments have been cruel so far...i think bet did a great job. they only had two days to shift the show around. show some credits. jamie did a great job hosting, if anything he kept the spirit alive. all the performers did their best especially neyo and jamie. instead of critizicing negativily, appreciate what they have done in such a short time. bet is not responsible for anything done that was not planned, they can't predict what will happen or not, so please stop blaming. go bet, your true fan. i loved the whole show and i believe it was a great tr

July 5, 2009

big upsss! to the bet.staff for making the transition for those that may not understand this is our black entertainment televison and however anything is this how we do things everthing does not have to come out politically correct. that's exactly why i watch bet if i want to listen to a bunch of political correct fakesters i'll tune in to that network u have a choice to watch what u want.micheal jackson tribute was a ok for me.bet keep doing your thing.

July 4, 2009

i was disappointed in this year's show. when you announced a tribute show to mj, i couldn't wait to see it. however, you failed miserably. how can you honor michael jackson without dancing & i'm not talking about the funny dancing by jamie foxx! some of the singing was good, but no dancing? you didn't have the one person who could sing and dance like michael at your show, chris brown. chris would have done an amazing job in tribute to our king of pop. i'm sure you have seen the tributes he did when michael was with us, can you imagine what he would have done at your show during this time?

i was so sad i miss chris breeze

damn "tip drill" video. remember sherri carter and donny simpson hosting video soul? classy! i remember one episode where the group subway was on, and one of the guys gave a shout out to his "ni*** sidey". donny simpson corrected him on national tv on the spot, "we don't need to use that kind of language." now look at us. it's a shame. tevin, tyrese, johnny, monica, keyshia, and ne-yo did great. the rest was a hot mess! and i want beyoncé not to be on stage singing church arias in underwear. that's just ridiculous!

July 3, 2009

i was not impressed. in fact, i was grossly disappointed. so many people tuned in to watch this so-called tribute to michael jackson--many of whom do not normally watch bet--and we pretty much just showed our asses (excuse the expression, but i believe it is fitting). i personally stopped watching bet 8 years ago because of the unbelievable crassness that seemed to increase once mr. bob johnson sold the company. i will never forget being in the student union studying late at night with some other students, and someone turned on bet to reveal whatever that nasty late night show was with the da

July 3, 2009

bet says that the award show was a tribute to michael j. jackson. how can they say that without having performers who sing and dance and truly imitate there careers from mj? usher did not perform, ciara sang a ballad(why?) and the biggest one of them all chris brown did not perform. cb idolizes that man and the performance he did at the wma in 2006 was incredible. if the rumors are true about jay-z having some input on cb not performing than i am truly disappointed. and if people are still on cb/rihanna incident then they are a joke b/c ppl supported r.kelly after his uphill battles in

July 2, 2009

the bet awards was plastered with profanity + inappropriate self-promoted plugs...so much for a tribute. it was very inappropriate, disrespectful + tacky, tacky, tacky!!

July 2, 2009

. now you own him? where were u when he was alive? -mj was an exceptional human being that brought people of world together - jamie's racist & crass comment was extremely insulting to the global michael jackson fans! -invitation of janet jackson to this joke of a "tribute" was insensitive -it's been less than a week since her brother's untimely death, why would you fool her into believing she was attending a polished tribute? - michael jackson always came with his -a game those are the "artists" you invited to his "tribute"? - where is gladys knight, diana ross, quincy jones, smokey

July 2, 2009

bet announced that 2009 award show would be a "michael jackson tribute" -after watching the "tribute" i had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn't april 1st - a wolr legen passed away untimely bet thought this is the tribute mj deserves? -this was supposed to be the father of all tributes -if you didn't have enough time you shouldn't have publicized it as a "tribute" - it was way too soon for jamie foxx'x mj antics! -he said "michael jackson belongs to us, we shared him with everyone else" - the black community made fun of mj for " beign white " & left him to oblivion . no

July 1, 2009

michael jackson is one the most famous idles in the world and his life and music will always live on. that was a very nice tribute that bet did in michael jackson honor. to the jackson family be strong because that is what michael would want u to do . i will always remember michael not just in music but in my heart. love, jacqueline german

July 1, 2009

some people will never grow ! i liked jimme fox until i heard him the other night,[we own him hes ours] i guess we own paul maccartney, dam, he sounded stupid,mj was an intelligent talent, he didnt talk in color, like the world owed him anything.nobody gets in the way of intelligent people,and the hard work it takes for him-/them to get there! "makes no difference if your black or white!" hum,who said that,... al sharpton,i dont think so ,mj was one incredible talented humble human being.he new what life was for.finding peace some day..thats the lesson. everlasting real lov

July 1, 2009

tyrese, gill,songz, ne-yo and the ojay's showed us what michael was all about - good music, good showmanship - classic. that was the real tribute to mj - the rest was a mess.

July 1, 2009

bet you get an b- for effort and f for execution. the ojays tribute and ne-yo were the only great performances - true music. take a note for next year.

wow bet, we were all looking forward to a great tribute to our beloved m.j, but instead we got a ghetto disaster. i understand that there wasn't much time to prepare for the show, but why not just go ahead with the bet awards as planned and do a tribute later. there was no real tribute to m.j, just a bunch of disrespectful jokes, drunk celebrities, and half done performances. nothing from the heart that showed our love for this wonderful icon and great man that we all will miss dearly. my heart really goes out to janet and the rest of the family for having to witness this joke. i only hope tha

July 1, 2009

omg, why did you do it bet???? michael jackson deserved a much better and planned dedication to him and what you did was horrifying!!! you wouldn't dare let drake or lil wayne disrepect and other legend that way, why would you let them demolish the king of pop honor like that? yes, he passed...that's all the more reason to carefully plan his tribute not that crap you aired sunday. deborah lee you need to smacked for allowing that. shame shame shame!!!!! michael jackson-king of pop-idol and icon your true fans love you and mtv learn from bets huge mistake!

July 1, 2009

bet, bet, bet! what was that mess you threw at us! that was not a tribute or the appropriate time for one! the man just died a few days before!! a real tribute with dignity and respect would have been done at a later date! it seemed like they just added him wherever they could! you all should have stuck with regular programing! i hope mtv took notes and will do better!! no usher! no chris brown! no justin timberlake!no mariah carey! what did we do to deserver young money(no words)boring beyonce boring jay z (like wife like husband)all around hott mess! im done im done horrible! bet read these

July 1, 2009

i wish bet died and michale jackson who is far more valuable than all bet staff and monkeys that you invited to his "tribute" combined, did a tribute. you are disgusting for re-broadcasting that s*** last night, i guess you wanna profit from a deceased legend! i spit on debra lee's face!

July 1, 2009

i am very upset with bet. i felt it was a jamie fox's show. where was the tribute? it was a circus. we saw the host self promtote his self over 5 times and poked fun all night about michael including a statement referring to him being black and white. i think bet owes the america a real tribute to someone who change the music world.

July 1, 2009

you're trying to profit at the expense of a deceased legend who is not even buried yet! i hope you choke on the profits you make. debra lee needs to pull her head out her ass or get off of drugs! you need to give proceedings to mj charity! all your artists put together and bet staff wouldn't make mj's s*** he dumped on 1 occasion!

July 1, 2009

but there is no words to describe my anger and outrage when you decided to re-broadcast that disgraced s*** again last night. you are not only disgrace to black community but to humanity also! you owe an apology to janet jackson, her family and mj fans. you need to give all proceedings to mj charity and then shut off and go to hell. f*** you bet. i wish you died instead of mj.

July 1, 2009

see i was beyond furious for bet's michale jackson "tribute" which was a circus with monkeys that you called "artists" grabbing their crutch and exploiting women and children. but

July 1, 2009

just when you think bet can't embarrass us any further... bam! here comes the 2009 bet awards. debra l. lee needs to send a hand-written apology to every one of the record-breaking audience who were subjected to that fiasco. there was a time when i thought that episode of "the boondocks" was out of line: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hymucuodv4. now i realize it is tragically on point. total disappointment, bet.

July 1, 2009

please: chris brown is no mj, no, was not his protege and he will not be his successor, just another mediocre "rapper/hip-hop" wanna be, girlfriend beater. michael was a very respectful loving soul, chris, jay-z,lil'l wayne maybe, maybe could be his(mj) dirt between his toes. not even close, this people are just taking advantage of the fact of his passing for their "fame" oh! p diddy, get the hell off my tv! p. diddy is not obama, chris brown is not mj, jay-z is not quincy jones

July 1, 2009

michael jackson, greatest entertainer of all time. what a horrible way to pay tribute to mj. i was ashamed and embarressed for the black race. we had a chance to shine. to show the world what we thought about mj. why couldn't we have taken time away from our lives and pay tribute to the most transformation person to ever live in our time? i know that there were people that could sing mj's songs. there were artist that could have danced like michael jackson (ursher), we should have had our best out that night. all the cursing was very distracting, bleep, bleep,bleep. jamie you owe the audience

June 30, 2009

bet & jay z, i have a question for yall. have you ever heard michael jackson's song "man in the mirror" ? maybe you should go back and listen to now after what you just did to chris brown. "i'm starting with the man in the mirror. i'm asking him to change his ways. no message should have been any clearer. if you wanna make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make that change"

June 30, 2009

debra lee & stephen hill should be fired now for that tragedy of a tribute to the king of pop. what a disgrace to michael jackson's memory and his family. why because jay z told you who could and couldn't perform. you should have looked at the bigger picture. jay z punched a woman in the face, don cornelius beat his wife, bobby brown beat whitney, aaron hall beat his wife, drake & lil wayne had 12 yr old girls dancing to "i wish i could f*ck every girl", t.i. won a coveted bet award while in prison, jaimie promoted his concert at every turn, beyonce sang a meanful song with no clothes on.

June 30, 2009

debra lee needs to apologize for the disgrace of a tribute to michael jackson and his family. i felts so bad that janet had to come out after the freak show that is lil wayne. you and your staff should be fired. white people all over the world are laughing at the shucking and jiving negros.

Saved720

June 30, 2009

this was disgusting and embarrassing! i am sure lil wayne could have switched songs out of respect for mj and his family. bet had major channels talking about this tribute and had many people including myself tuned in that wouldn't normally watch the show. you can clearly see some of the girls on stage were under 18. and you wonder why so many young girls have no feeling of self worth and are getting pregnant or contracting std's/hiv before they even turn 14. they are standing around singing along with the song talking about "that's my song"...crazy! http://iamnoteverygirl.com

June 30, 2009

time and time again, this program chooses to televise to a generally young audience of color images that degrade them (us) and simply do not represent the beauty, diversity, and strength of our community. yet again, i must say, shame on you, bet executives/producers/financiers. shame on you.

June 30, 2009

rather, where was prince, stevie, smokey, the roots, aretha, common, sade, quincy . . . my low regard for bet sank further upon seeing the reasonably good tribute to the o’jays, making it even more apparent what possibilities existed for a meaningful tribute to michael. i henceforth will boycott bet because as a person of african descent and woman and advocate for justice, this station fails time and time again to show the complexity of the black diaspora.

June 30, 2009

chaka khan presented an award, but souljah boy performed a song about nothing? chris brown did not perform, but lil wayne and drake can sing about having sex with various women while children dance seductively behind them (note: in year’s past, bet has ignored the alleged but commonly known indiscretions of r kelly, james brown . . .)? ciara, a talented dancer with much weaker vocal skills, choose to sing a ballad rather than dance? and what did the various references to baby boy have to do with anything?

June 30, 2009

it is because very few of today’s living artists, at least those who get the record deals and are aired on stations like bet, are talented. none of these artists had in their arsenal a bag of tricks to pull out when called upon to pay homage to this man who supposedly changed their life.

June 30, 2009

recognizing that the regularly scheduled awards program transformed into a tribute upon michael’s untimely death, it’s hard to fathom that this was the best bet could do with such short notice. all of these artists who proclaim to have been inspired vocally, through dance and presentation, as well as in fashion, by michael could not sing one of his songs; dance even 8 counts of his choreography; say something unscripted and substantive about his impact upon them.

June 30, 2009

on the red carpet, diddy, who is not my favorite person in the world for reasons irrelevant to this post, rebuked cnn and other media outlets for not giving due respect to michael’s contribution. unfortunately, bet is no better, no different than other programming, despite the power it could exhibit if it were a network truly by and for black people.

June 30, 2009

i tuned into the bet awards last sunday because i assumed that bet would do the one thing it does well-pay tribute to artists who have shaped american (and sometimes world) culture. instead, i lost more than three hours of my life watching nationally televised ignorance. i recognize that jamie foxx is a multi-faceted artist (singer, actor, comedian), but he was a horrible host of that awards’ program. his jokes made a caricature of michael jackson, who undoubtedly was a complex and important human being. on the red carpet, diddy, who is not my favorite person in the world for reasons irrel

hahahahaha, look at the comment below. "learn how to spell" he says, then in the same comment, he writes "hataz" "hatin" "coments", what a joke... bet needs to suck on something for re-broadcasting that crap tonight again!

June 30, 2009

for all ya hataz the bet awards show was excellent.its not the way they did it its what they did. they did not have to do that in such a short time.they wanted to do it. and for everybody whose hatin learn how to spell in your coments.

wow, who was the dumb ass who thought it was a good idea to re-broadcast the show? you all need to just shut off & go to hell! i'm never watching black embarrassment tv. f*** you bet!

June 30, 2009

michael jackson will be missed by everyone......mj made everything possible; he brought genders,and cultures together. all the uncomping artist today wouldn't be who they are without the talent, skill, and passion he bought to the music world. he is a music icon and legend who will be terrible missed. rip michael jackson.......

June 30, 2009

when you make things on short notice just because ratings, chances are that things are going to suck! michael jackson deserves a real tribute, not this piece of crap put at the last minute. jamie, jay-z?? gimme a break. bet you sucked with this! thank god that fake, chris brown didn't performed, i just hope he did it for respect for the man. michael is bigger than anything bet has, so give him his proper place as an icon. also who gives a crap about joe jackson, hasn't he given enough grief to michael, he is the cause this talent had so many issues. no more face time for him.

June 30, 2009

i mean not to be disrespectful bet but your so called tribute to michael jackson was awful in my mind. i know it was put together in a short time but the show except for a few points sucked. i'm like other people here who feel awful that janet jackson had to come out to see this circus. regardless of his troubles, this man was an icon for decades, loved around the world, michael!do not air this again out of respect for the jackson family. you should have just went ahead with the show and had a dedication special to michael later. i give you guys a big thumbs down! thank you maxwell,tevin cambe

June 30, 2009

so bet will air the joke (awards show) again tonight??? you lost your mind! stop disrespecting people! you need to get your apologies in order to janet jackson and mj fans and donate the proceedings of that joke to michael jackson charities! do not air the crap again!

June 30, 2009

i want to make a public apology! i was one of the ignorant people who believed the accusations against michael. i then seen the footage of the boy saying his father made him do it. i can't begin to tell everyone how bad i feel and how much it breaks my heart that michael did not live to hear his name cleared. he was a broken man,a shattered man because of people like me who don't look outside the box. i will post this everywhere so people will know the truth and his family and children can hold their heads up high because he truely was a wonderful man! michael i'm sorry and may god bless you,

June 30, 2009

i really enjoyed the bet awards sunday night and i kind of thought that if michael was alive he would have popped up at the awards but now that he is gone bet did a very good job showing honor to the king of pop. i almost thought when janet went up to speak on his behalf, she was goning to cry but she stood strong for michael. my mother and family was a very huge fan of michael jackson. r.i.p. michael jackson!! i love you! my heart and prayers goes out to his children,and family.

June 30, 2009

i didn't get a chance to watch the awards show but i just want to know if they're having an encore viewing? but i did hear that the awards show was "highly uphauling", just plain out contradicting to what the advertisement says...is that true?

June 30, 2009

it's only fair that bet send the proceedings from the show that it earned by misleading advertisement on mj charities!

June 30, 2009

bet should apologize to janet jackson bet got the high ratings it had by misleading audience. it stated that show would be a "historic" mj tribute, it definitely wasn't; it stated chris brown would be on, he wasn't.

darn2005

June 30, 2009

i am so disgusted with the bet awards. that was no tribute to the greatest of all times michael jackson. what was the point of removing chris brown from opening the show. if it was jayz or covergirl, bet needs to be ashamed of yourself. 1. jayz is no angel, former drug dealer, punched a woman in the face 2. ti was an award while in prison 3. drake & lil wayne singing they want to f*uck every girl with little girls on stage 4. don cornelius beat his wife 4. jaimie foxx promoted jaimie fox you seriously need to do an actual tribute to michael jackson and do it right this time.

June 30, 2009

bet owes a written apology for dragging janet jackson to a circus less than a week after mj death! bet owes apology for misleading announcement! *you misled black community stating chris brown is performing * you misled international community stating that the show would be "historic" mj tribute so your ratings was a fraud!

June 30, 2009

this is straight crazyyyy b.e.t was not thinking about m.j at all that is messed up if u ever seen chris. b’s mtv bda mj said he was a fann of chris. thats messed up b.e.t needs to put all that rihanna bull**it to the side because she obviously still loves him its young love, sh*t happens and we learn from our mistakes. i feel bad for chris having to constantly say hes not a monster!!! true i dont believe that a man should ever put his hands on a lady but come on females… lets admit it sumtimesz we do and say dumb things to make our partners mad, so what im saying is that dont only blame it on

June 30, 2009

that “tribute” was absolutely embarassing. michael was known for his dance skills and no one danced! wtf? some of jamie’s nose jokes may have been out of line too. they were funny, but sort of disrespectful. bet definitely dissapointed in a big way. its obvious chris had a big performance planned and they pulled it at the last minute because there’s no way they were doing all that bragging for those simple “tributes” they showed tonight. smh….no performance blew me away at all. best part of the show was the last 5 minutes beginning with janet.

June 30, 2009

dear ms. debra, i understand that the passing of michael jackson made you feel compelled to pay tribute. but during an award show, not the best of ideas. bet has not been classy for years, but sometimes you have your moments of class. the awards show should've stuck to the original format with an opening dedication to the king of pop. and left it at that. it was very tasteless to honor michael the way you all did. i think it would've been a much better idea to do a tribute show for michael than revamping the show. and to have lil wayne close the show with such langauage with pre-teens on th

June 30, 2009

i was appalled and embarassed by this award show. how could you have let performers rap songs full of cuss words that had to be bleeped out with 12 year old girls dancing in the background??? not to mention the fall line up featuring tiny and toya, neffie and her mom? is this upcoming fall a showcase of ignorance and low self value??? bet is boldly portraying negative stereotypes of black people by playing disgusting, lyrically unchallenging "music" videos, hosts with no diction or range of how to present a show. there isn't an episode of 106th and park where roxy doesn't say "keep it locked

so let me get this strainght jay-z, the one time self proclaimed crack dealing, gun slinging rapper who has had his own public issues with the law now gets to play "god" and deny chris brown the right to perform?? please jigga spare us the self rightous bs. you have been dissing women your whole career. what you should have blocked was drake/lil wayne performing with little girls behind them while referencing their "d----"! why the hatred for chris??where were u for cece winans, james brown or better yet where was your outrage when you had jason kid playing for the nets!

June 30, 2009

i can't get it to have the video link working on youtube type "bet awards disgrace" by muzikfactory "historic event" my ass!!! you stooped to a new low! we're furious and this will not die down! apologize!!!!!!!!!!

June 30, 2009

it's been 2 days, i know you read the reviews, what are you waiting for? you offended black community & mj fans around the world, not to mention mj & his family. don't you think a public apology is due? bet awards 2009 michael jackson "tribute" fiasco/joke/circus/disgrace/letdown/ghetto block party/garbage/thugs grabbing their nuts, alcohol in their hands,exploiting women& teens/disappointing/misleading announcement (?historic event?) shape up or shut off! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xv83oozsp0

June 30, 2009

i love bet but i have to say that i was very disappointed in the 2009 bet awards..i execpted so much more...especially after i found out that mj died...i thought yall where going to go all out for that man...but if u changed the show to tribute michael jackson like they say they did..it should have be more memorable that show should have been a collectable item and for me it was not...i did enjoy new edition, o' jays tribute, neyo...but i was really upset when i found out that mr.& mrs. carter had there diva and ego trip moment to announce that he would pull his show case as well as his wife i

June 30, 2009

bet you know better. where was chris brown? you know he should have been there. who cares what jay z thinks? i wanted to see chris, ginuwine, ne-yo , usher dance to mj and maybe the dream could have done one of mj's songs. i hope you guys do something for mj to make up for this. and this time tell jay and b to stay at home who cares abut them. if you do another show it better have chris on it.

and then your site says, "tune in to bet for this historic event..." are you kidding me? are you serious? historic??!!!! i wish i could erase it from my memory!

June 30, 2009

was anyone on bet’s staff just as mortified as i? and what about the few seniored artists and celebrities in the audience? did you not think you owed them a little more “meat” in an awards show? in closing, thank you for that slap in the face tribute to michael jackson. you owe his fans, his family, his father and sister who were present a huge written apology!

June 30, 2009

i am a hip hop fan and i was blown away by the lack of respect shown on national tv from many of the artists, host, and presenters. why allow artists to perform a song that you know will have to have every second word bleeped out? was there no rehearsal? no one was there to witness the rehearsal? were you truly okay with allowing lil wayne to perform a song about f*ing every girl in the world while having little girls gyrate on stage? but first, were you okay just allowing him to perform that song…of all his songs?

June 30, 2009

wearing leather jackets, flashing studded gloves, and shouting out “rip mj” as the performances ended does not constitute a tribute especially for someone on the grand scale of michael jackson! i expected so much more from black entertainment television. if you were not able to put together a quality tribute for him, a video montage during the awards show would have sufficed until something worthy of michael jackson could have been assembled.

June 30, 2009

and of all the days, this typical entertainment was allowed to continue on a show that was promoted as a huge tribute for michael jackson! even if the artists and presenters themselves have no decorum, someone on bet’s staff or maybe debra lee who graced the audience, should have stood up and demanded respect and courtesy. it was totally demoralizing to have to witness buffoonery at its best. and where were the michael jackson tributes again?

June 30, 2009

the bet awards that originally aired on june 28, 2009 was horrendous! i could not believe that once again another year has passed and the classless acts that have appeared in prior shows plus some new characters added to the roster had the pleasure to flaunt their ignorance for all of the world to see once again thanks to bet producers, ceo, and staff. it baffles me as to why artists, hosts, and presenters are permitted to curse freely, drink alcohol on stage (& while running up to the stage), bring their entire family and entourage to the stage, and perform with their boxers/briefs showing.

June 30, 2009

wow!!! bet staff are you all reading these comments....black people are upset with you.. how ironic is that? i thought you were promoting black entertainment..instead you shamed the entire black community..other networks are laughing at you not with you..debra lee shame on you!! such a disgracing award show...your sponsors should be scared...people are going to boycott them and you too!!

June 30, 2009

first of all, you guys i think that the awards were great. the singers on the other hand, (beyonce, drake, lil wayne) were terrible. the producers did have to put together a tribut to mj, but they also had to do their regular show. that's why the tribute was throughout the show. it was live, so mistakes will happen, but some of it was just silly. they were just going with the flow. i think that it was the best last minute 4 hour show i've ever seen, except for the cussing and the kids on the stage with drake. that was a crying shame. they need to be put in jail for even singing i wish

June 30, 2009

2009 bet awards= disgrace!! i'm sick of the cursing & tired of looking at lil wayne & soulja boy's underwear. ne-yo & jamie did great but the overall show was disaster. debra lee, as a black woman in charge i expected better from you. bet is becoming a disgrace in the black community. mary mary was in attendance as well as other prominent black people heck my daughters were watching..you missed the bleep when lil wayne said *ick. t-pain's chain is a disgrace black children can read you know..i've heard of people saying they are about to start a campaign to boycott bet..because the channel disr

June 30, 2009

first off i would like to start off by saying that this years bet awards was a total disgrace. i have never ever in my life seen such a pathethic, half a**, unorganized tribute that was supposed to honor the life and legacy of the greatest singer of our time. an icon, father, legend, humanitarian, a musical genius michael jackson. and to hear people say this was a great job by bet sickens me. the only decent tribute was neyo. jamie foxx little performance was an hot mess. ciara was singing so low you couldn't hardly hear her sing. new edition was all over the place and didn't even know the

June 30, 2009

words to the songs which is a shame. out of these talented performers we have today that can actually perform to the standards of michael jackson like chris brown, usher, omarion, mario, jahiem, anthony hamilton would have been some good choices to sing/ dance and pay tribute. i can say that debra lee should be ashamed to actually cleared the ok to air this on national televison. then to think that this is acceptable for michael jackson when the o'jays clearly had a better tribute. the point of this is that if you know that if having two/three days is not enough time to plan a decent tribute t

June 30, 2009

this years bet awards show was the best one i ever saw. everyone came together to remember michael jackson the king of pop was is the best that ever lived. he had great music and he changed the world. michael jackson was not just a very talented person but he also gave back to the less fortunate. he is the best and will forever be the best. the bet awards did a great job of showing his legacy. the performances were great. but the best one was when jamie foxx and neyo performed i'll be there. i cried so much. i also want to send my condolences to the jackson family. you lost the greatest person

June 30, 2009

it really hurt my heart to see the bet awards. i was torn between weeping over the loss of michael and witnessing such a disgrace at what was to be a tribute to him by his own people. shame on you bet, your ceo did a bad thing. shame on you all, someone with some sence there should have spoken up for doing the right thing.

June 30, 2009

this year bet awards was a horrible event. i understand bet desire to do a tribute to mj,but this award show lack essential elements to successfully pay tribute to mj. neyo(jamie foxx at the end) was the only performer to honor mj and still be ne_yo! the show was clearly rushed, having one celebrity to announce two awards. i really do not have any understanding about the jayz and chris brown situation, but without question chris brown got mj moves down to the t. i was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for chris brown to show off mj moves like he did on the mtv awards; however, that m

June 30, 2009

i will truly miss michael. he will always be the greatest singer that ever lived. no one will ever be able to replace such a wonderful talent. i am happy i was able to have him in my generation and i feel bad for the ones who will not get to see or hear him live. rest in the arms of god michael, for i know you are at peace.

June 30, 2009

brown not being there bc of jay-z you all need to be ashamed we all make mistakes & to blackball him is not sending a clear message these "men" in the industry need to be taking him & schooling him so he won't make the same mistake

June 30, 2009

i agree with a lot of the comments. i felt jamie did a wonderful job at the beginning as did neyo. i was annoyed that ciara who is not really known to woo the crowd with her singing but is more known for her dancing didn't dance. i think that if bet didn't want to rush their tribute then show footage of michael and allow the celebrities to give their fav moment of him & give him a proper tribute @ a later time. why wasn't ginuwine apart of the tribute we all know how he loved michael not to mention he was on his label when he first came out. and if what i'm hearing is true about why chris

June 30, 2009

oh, no you didn't bet!!!!!!!!

our sponsors won't leave us. they are commited to making money. by any means necessary. plus you guys won't follow through on nothing. that's why we can get away with it...

bet is ghetto

June 30, 2009

i have to agree with the majority of the comments here. that was not a tribute to michael. they could have just left the show format as it was and let people honor michael in their own way. the unnecessary skits, the language and the rap/hip-hop garbage. give michael his proper tribute. love you michael

June 30, 2009

oh i get it, bet is not professional when it comes to last minute tributes. shame on bet for this nonsense. michael jackson was worth more than is depiction of honor. i am very outraged and disgusted!!if bet couldn't plan mj's tribute overnight then they should of waited for correct time to an phenomenal honor to michael jackson. this is a disgrace!!!!

June 30, 2009

i will never watch bet again. and quit it with these ghetto reality shows already! try feeding my generation something we need!!!!! or don't...i won't be watching anymore anyway! disgusting.

June 30, 2009

i wish it was bet that died and mj did a tribute to "it". stephen, i would have continued to hide when deb called you out. i only registered to make it clear that you lost a supporter that was already hanging on by a thread. what was supposed to be a michael jackson tribute became the jamie foxx and neyo show! really?!?! why not give a brief tribute at the beginning of the show and save a real tribute when you can actually put one together with real talent that represents the fruits of jackson's success and labor! i will never watch bet again. and quit it with these ghetto reality shows al

i was very disappointed in the show it was thrown together is such short time it didn't do micheal jackson the king of pop justice he is so much than a thrown together show i think bet should has kept the show like it was and somebody else should have did the tribute because that was tacky

June 29, 2009

bet is an embarrassment. pure buffoonery entertainment television. michael jackson has always supported bet and you repay him like this??? there were people like chris brown who wanted to do a tribute and you gonna let this vile jayz and b tell you what to do it is sick......boycott bet for this ignorance and garbage.

i would like to thank bet for that contribution to michael jackson, in a short of time. can bet think about doing another contribute to michael only ,letting people performing michael jackson songs and performing as the jackson fives. i know new edition and can do better if they had more time to practice, think about doing it right for micheal jackson

bet, yes we know u had short notice but i do think you guys used michael for ratings. people across this country was watching to see what was going to happen and i think everyone was disappointed. ginuwine was there among others who i think could have done a great tribute. also y would you let wayne and the rest perform at the end if you knew janet was coming. jaime did a great job but i do think there was too much self promoting going on and neyo did a fantastic job and beyonce should have done a tribute her perfomance was horrible she did a great job singing but this was not the time for tha

June 29, 2009

with style and grace. i was never a fan of the recent bet and after last i will never watch that channel again. michael jackson deserve so much better and i pray that someone will give him the proper tribute fitting for the king of pop.

June 29, 2009

i normally would not have watched the award show but since so much emphasis on a tribute i had hope that black entertainment television would step up and bring their a game. boy was i wrong. as i sat and watch all the buffoonery with tears in my eyes thinking about how hard michael jackson worked to craft his art to only be made a mockery of. most of those non talented people would have never had this opportunity if it was not for him. this was not a tribute it was more like a roast. i think it was a total disrespect to michael jackson and his family who every time they took the stage did it

June 29, 2009

regarding jamie foxx, ving rhames, lil wayne and others who needed to, "be seen" by promoting their own plugs, attention grabbers and show stopper commentary, i have lost all respect for you. could you have exercised any kind of restraint, shown any humbleness or moral character?

in case you have lost touch bet, all african americans do not like to be viewed by the rest of society as; mindless, senseless, sagging, over sexed, trashy, disrespectful, haters of ourselves, our women and our children, what were you hoping to accomplish with that tribute? what ever it was, you fialed us miserably and the ceo needs to publically apologize for exercising such poor judgement and allowing some of those preformances.

June 29, 2009

i am still speechless regarding the bet music awards. as a proud african american citizen, mother, wife, professional and business owner i am ashamed and still angry at what i witnessed last night. how dare bet disgrace our people, michael jackson and his family, the o jays, the host of soul train and my family by allowing such buffoonery. what kind of tribute was that to the king of pop or the mighty o jays? these entertainers never abused our people or women with their lyrics. why were various entertainers allowed to use the "n" word, and gross profanity? didn't the ceo of bet know what s

June 29, 2009

the awards last night didn't do enough highlights of michael - it should have been cancelled if a good job wasn't going to be done. if it wasn't for forefathers (mothers) half of the younger people wouldn't have been on last night - the awards can wait

June 29, 2009

encore tuesday night!!!!! nawh we don't need to see that horrible s--t nooooo more!! what you need to do is apologize to the jackson family and let them choose who they would like to see do the real tribute to the king of pop. how embarassing!!!!!!!

June 29, 2009

will the ceo of bet please step down!!!! please!!!!! you were there last night i saw you speak. good lord woman. you are a fool. and i will not buy any products advertised on bet.

the bet awards was very stupid.michael jackson some how know's what you guys did. and he wouldn't be happy.you guys made a very stupid tribute to him you guys know goood and well that michael wouldn't say such stupid words. yall did a horrable job!! my name is anthony jr. i am nine years old thank you for listening

June 29, 2009

the awards were straight whack!!! whatever was going on should have been put on hold in order to properly honor the king of pop or they should have waited in order to do it right!the real performers weren't even there. chris brown, usher,amorion, mary j, the list goes on.neyo, and ciara are the only two that represnted michael by singing his songs!! bet!! that was the worse show ever. all you did was mentioned mikes' name all of you artist did nothing but exalted yourselves. pitiful!! pitiful!! pitiful, and what kind of performance was that from beyonnce? and jayz!! awwwful!!. i guess the jcks

great idea brother/sister about hitting them in the wallet. come on guys write the advertisers and bet let them know what time it is. no more sales for you guys.....

June 29, 2009

bet, how could you call this show a tribute to such a massive icon. new edition should never do a tribute performance again. ciara should have put togather a dance number instead of sing with that god awful voice. neyo and beyonce had sang the best tributes. but even beyonce performance was all about beyonce. chris brown should have been invited to do a dance number as well, because truth be told brown would be one of the only talents to do mj any justice. if you call hyping us up for this big tribute just to only add ciara and new edition and a bunch of performers wearing mj clothing a tribut

allright my brothers and sisters (white or black it doesn't matter)great! job speaking out. now let's start writting and making it count. let bet know that are not going buy any advertisers products until a formal apology has been made. also write the advertisers to let them know as well. blogs are cool but take the time to copy and paste your blog into word and send a hard copy to bet and advertisers.

i honestly feel that micheal wasn't honored enough. i didn't feel as if it was really a tribute to him. if it weren't for jamie and ne-yo you wouldn't have never thought micheal was added. i didn't understand how after beyonce' performed jamie made a big deal out of jay z performing after her. i was expecting more about micheal but honestly the united states didn't care too much for micheal after those accusations and he had to hide out to place where people actually did. i loved micheals music, his dancing skills and i didn't think he was capable of what they were accusing him of. i hop

this site sucks, you can't read your whole comment let alone find it on your own page. i feel really left out on this site, i could imagine how the jackson's felt... disappointed. if bet dares to call what they did a historic event then they truly suck as being leading black entertainment.

i am so proud to see the many people contest the unprofessional bet "awards" right on brothers and sistas way to stand for what's right and not believe the hype. this show was plain ignorant from jamie foxx to ving and lil wayne. you guys are???? i really have no intelligent words for you all.

June 29, 2009

i support your effort in what you tried to do, in celebrating michael jackson. i know this was put together at the last minute. sorry to say, that is how it looked, last minute. michael was a perfectionous so, that is how bet should give a tribute to the king. please plan something else and do it as if michael was going to produce the show himself. please think about doing something else fit for the king. thank you, peace and love, cassandra

jamie foxx should seek some help in speaking out publicly...first the lashing out at miley cyrus & now drawing another divide between black & white, "michael jackson was ours"! as a white american who is not prejudice i was outraged by his comment. and yes it was the jamie foxx show, disgusting! you could have & should have done better

June 29, 2009

the show was horrible, disgraceful & it did not honor the king of pop. i like beyonce, jamie foxx & all the other presenters & don't get me wrong. but what the heck! in life & death they would never be able to accomplish the same things mj did. the last talented person in the world has died & now that their the only things left someone felt along with themselves that that they deserved to present this to his family & fans.

the show last night was very disappointing to me. michael jackson was one of us and once again, we couldn't do it right. what do you think the rest of the world is saying about us right now? if you really search your heart, you will have to admit that you could have done a much better job. no one is saying that the show needed to be sad because we are to celebrate one's life when they pass but that last night was poorly done. i understand that this was a last minute change but i must ask myself what would this show have been like if it had went on as scheduled. it was bad enough that michae

i watched the bet music awards last night and sadly i had to ask my nine year old son to leave the room. i wonder when we will get passed using the "n" word? it's bad enough that the artists have to use it in there songs but, when we have the opportunity to have a first class engagement and we lower our standards with the unprofessional gestures that were displayed at last night "gala" event it is not only sad but, unbelievable that our people have come so close but yet so far. do you guys not realize that we are now running the country??!!! what was the ceo of bet "thinking" ????

the tribute to the, "king of pop," the man who invented the moonwalk, the robot & the anti gravity move should have been honored! the show was absolutely wretched! the article above was better than what was done. i know he just passed away, but come on; that man was a legend! can you name a black artist that would be the first black artist on mtv? he paved the way for other african american's & his talent stretched across our shores & went further than any other artist in the world to date. he crossed the "racial" lines bringing people from different ethnic backgrounds together with his talent

5 words - the greatest of all time!!!!!!!!!!

June 29, 2009

i feel so bad cuz ne-yo gave an outstanding performances in honor of the king of pop. it was truly felt and he put his heart into it. but his performance will be overshadowed by jamie's need to constantly advertise his concert (it was the jamie show), jay & beyonce's need to stomp on the lil people (as if their isn't enough shine to go around they wanna keep it to themselves). beyonce your performance was horrible because it stood out like a sore thumb. if it's confirmed that jay was the reason chris brown was unable to perform in honor of the king of pop, he will have one less fan as will be

June 29, 2009

disappointing and disgraceful. my heart went out to janet and mr. jackson having to witness such a mockery. where was usher, chris brown, justin timberlake? where was motown (diana, smokey, stevie?) no quincy jones? neyo and jamie held it down, but the rest were very disrespectful, self centered, triflant, straight "ghetto" (yes, that includes you, beyonce', jay-z, mary mary) debra lee, you should be ashamed of yourself. you owe the jackson family, along with michael's fans an apology. maybe mtv will do a better job!

bet network should be ashame of that award show last night and more importantly that so called tribute to michael jackson was a disgrace! michael jackson derserves better than that, that was a joke! jaime fox was just horrible, ghetto and very disrespectful. you need to respresent the black race better than that. i felt ashame because the whole world was watching bet last night thinking the tribute to michael was going to be nice but it wasn't. i know what i saw last night did not represent me. you need to do better. it was disgusting! is this the best bet can do? is this what it has come

June 29, 2009

i truly enjoyed the bet awards. i feel that everyone did well considering the amount of time that was available to put it together. michael jackson was a world entertainer. he touched all of us. from elizabeth taylor to soulja boy. im not surprised that everyone couldn't be there...it happened so suddenly. im sure that there will be other tributes. big-ups bet!

June 29, 2009

the awards were horrible. if you couldnt do it right dont do it at all. bet should be ashamed of themselves and issue an apology to the public. i was really looking forward to the show and it sucked. both bet and mtv are owned by viacom, ya’ll got the same resources!!!! everyone should be fired and mtv is gonna make ya’ll look stupid. chris would have set it off and you gonna jay and b punk ya’ll like that with those sorry and hidden agenda driven performances???? buffoonery entertainment television…..sad day to be black

i was very sadden by the way our intelligence was put to shame on how some of us acted. some of the stuff that was said and the way some dressed was awful.i hope bet can redeem themself from this. my prayers go out to the jackson family because mj was more than a icon he was someone child, brother, uncle and family member that was loved very much. 2 corinthians 1:3-4 i hope this verse will give you some comfort.

i am so dissappointed in you bet. i will never watch your channel again. i believe that bet used michael jackson name for ratings, because that s*** last night was not a tribute. i think all the producers should be fired. mtv or vh1 would never f*** up a tribute to michael jackson like that, i dont care if you guys had 1 day to plan the schedule. boooooooooooooo your award shows always bulls***, i should have known to not except anything spectacular coming from bet anyways. booooooooooooooo

i remember a show i watch once. a person was dying and said this: remember me with laughter or don't remember me at all. well i believe we needs to remember the love micheal had for music. remember him for all the great music he gave us, how he help to make people around the world and the children. so remember him for the good he did and the music he gave us. if you just want to remember him for how the bathroom paper put him down, don't remember him at all. micheal enjoy your freedom and now you can sing with your family you lost and the ones you never meet. i would say bye, but we

first, that was some bull. mj was an icon, a legend, one of a kind and that bs that bet called a tribute was a mess. for all of that it could have been a thirty minute segment cause only a few performers shone. and where was chris brown. i'm sorry, but to pass up an obvious talent b/c of unrelated drama or whatever the case is uncalled for. hope there is a real tribute to my favorite artist.

June 29, 2009

the awards show was awful. just awful. tacky. no cohesiveness. messy. jamie...pleeease get over yourself! bet you should be ashamed.

micheal jackson has been a part of our lives for decades. he's an icon, the best. brilliant and amazing artist deserve rightful tributes. bet you could have done better.

June 29, 2009

i am soooo disappointed with the bet awards. seriously is that the best you could put together? i think michael jackson's legacy should have spoken for itself. where was chris brown? where was the dancing? ya'll went overboard with jamie...i saw him wayyy too much! what was that crap that beyonce did? boring!

June 29, 2009

all i want to know is --" where was chris brown?" i watched the entire show waiting for him, because no tribute can be complete without the young man we know michael has so deeply influenced.

what happened to the tribute to michael? this show was an absolute disgrace to the legendary king of pop. there were what 2 or 3 of his songs played. then there was the notion that everyone was doing a great job! what! bet this was not a tribute to the greatest performer, this was a mockery. when you are stating a "tribute", that means the show should have been dedicated to all his work, his music. regardless of the short turn around, that is no excuse, after all, aren't all these stars "entertainers", they are used to switching gears at last minute. i think your show owes a "real" show t

the 2009 bet awards for the most part was a complete train wreck, i am a 29 year old african-american woman and i was completely embarrassed and disgusted by what i saw last night. bet had a chance to put on a special tribute to michael jackson, the greatest entertainer that lived and with the world watching they failed miserably. for starters the opening number by new edition looked poorly rehearsed; the performance seemed rushed and disorganized. in my opinion the audience would have been better served with an opening video featuring highlights of michael’s career. mr. jamie fox, where do

June 29, 2009

i liked the fact that the awards show was to be dedicated to "the king of pop", but in all truth, the show degraded blacks. some of the show was respectful, but the cursing and all wasn't caused for.eddie levert acknowledged his slip, but soulja boy should have pulled his pants up, lil wayne and v rymes should not have appeared at all!! more positive people close to michael jackson like usher,chris brown, chris tucker, and diana ross should have appeared. i acknowledge the last minute planning but it could have been better.there were great people there and (our) standards should have been hi

June 29, 2009

this was by far the worst bet awards show ever!!! why did it take so long for bet to honor mj? this was years overdue. i understand that the show had to be revamped at the last minute but bet could've done better. we could have gone w/o jay-z, lil wayne and crew, beyonce', ciara, keith sweat. those blocks of time could've been given to honor and remember mj. bet has disappointed a lot of fans with what they call honoring a humanitarian tribute. this is why mj said that he would never live or perform in the united states again!!

June 29, 2009

this was the best bet award show hands down. too all that think it wasn't you are crazy!!! not only did they do a wonderful job of getting together a tribute to mj in such a short notice but the other parts were good as well. bet awards shows in the past have been such foolywang material that i stopped watching. i watched for one because jaime fox was hosting and he is funny. i also watched because i knew that they would some how honor mj and i was not disappointed. i do however think that because mj was known for his dancing they should have had someone dance. the o'jays tribute was fabulou

June 29, 2009

i wish i could have these hours of my life back. this show was such a hot mess i don’t even know where to begin. it’s no wonder, educated african- american people can’t, don’t, and won’t watch this station. if you considered what you did last night a tribute to a the legend that was the man we all know, love and will truly miss, michael jackson, you are sorely mistaken. it was so sad to watch because the whole nation was watching this, and this is what you did. you had a chance as the only african- american network to pay tribute to one of the, if not the greatest entertainers of all time.

June 29, 2009

i loved the bet awards last night. first, lets start with the lows. new edition singing a tribute to michael jackson was horrible. i felt bad for janet and joe jackson in the audience. what was up with bobby brown sticking out his tongue like that? so direspectful. new edition was the worst performance of the night. beyonce disappointed me too. her dress looked horrible. she should have had on tiny's dress. she would've looked way better in it. i was expecting her to go off in honor of mj. don't get me wrong, i loved her performance, but i was hoping to see more. ciara should've been dancing i

jamie foxx is a straight up fool :) his opening was the best part of the show. michael deserved much better from the performers. maybe the intentions were well but you should have just left it as it was planned and each award recepient could have just said something of their memories of mike. i felt for joe in the audience. mike"s ledgend will definately rock on but not like last night. i love the jackson family, may god bless and give the the strength and courage they will need to get through.

lastnight show was a disgrace to michael jackson i know bet only had 2 1/2 days to pay tribute to michael but i think they could of done better. the show was not about michael jackson only person that show respect to michael jackson was ne-yo and jamie. bet show be shame of themself because they had a chance to show another network how to pay tribute to the king of pop and they fail at that. i hope they have another tribute to michael because this one was horrible and michael deserve better from bet considering he is black. am so disappointed on bet i hope mtv do a better job.

the bet awards was str8 last night i do think overall it was ok yes everyone does think that the tribute should have been done while he was alive and well but bet did an awesome jod on changing the whole show maor to mj and i was very pleased some of the commets i hav been readin were very inmature an rude and that's not me so all respect goes to bet r.i.p. king of pop

i think bet had good intentions on trying to turn the awards show around to tribute mj. however, i think that adding last minute acts and changes took away from the show. the o'jays would have had a longer tribute to their legacy and more artists would have honored them. a separate tribute should have been done and i think still needs to be done to honor the king of pop. a good idea would be to have chris rock attend since they were close and maybe do a performance. and honor the family...a "night of rememberance" would be great. and have the them honor their brother. deborah lee if you c

all i can say is not to bet's so-called tribute to michael jackson. they tried but failed miserably. they should be ashamed of themselves for calling that a tribute. in their defense they only had a few days to revamp the show and with that being said they should've simply put together a tribute video to play during the show and then later put together a more appropriate, more deserving tribute for the king of pop. it was very obvious that new edition and ciara was added last minute cause they both sounded horrible and bobby flicking his tongue out during a jackson 5 song was so disrespectful.

June 29, 2009

the saying always imitated never duplicated was made for michael jackson. when god created him he knew exactly what he was doing. this was the greatest entertainer of all times. i just wanted to say i was a little disgusted with bet's "tribute to michael." every other channel completely shut down and dedicated their whole weekend to this icon and all he got from bet was a few videos on 106 & park and a awards show dedicated to him. with entertainers just saying this is for you michael. when stations like vhi, mtv, mtv jams and other's were michael non-stop. i thought bet would've done better.

last night i watched the bet awards. i thought it was a horrible and disrespectful the way bet honored michael jackson. i felt so bad for the jackson family and embrassed. what was debra lee thinking when she tried to revamp the bet awards last minute. there should have been a seperate show that had a tribute to michael jackson only. not everyone else who was trying to push there album. to add insult to injury the way everyone who on stage using so much profanity. i as an african american was so ashamed last night watching that award show. now i see why other major networks disrespect an

it almost feels like i lost a relative. my only regret is that i never wrote micheal to tell him i never believed those lies. i don't think he could have hurt a fly. i know he's in heaven. i know mike had to realize what a great dad he had. showed him how to be prosperous in his talents. i have a lot of respect for the whole family, especially, mr and mrs jackson. my deepest condelences to the jackson family.

June 29, 2009

michael was an indelible part of the soundtrack of my life. "i'll be there" was my awakening. to have a song remind you what it was like to be a kid? that was priceless! "got to be there", "never can say goodbye", "one day in your life", theses songs are forever attached to my soul. "ben" was not a song about a rat to me. it was a song about a god sanctioned friend. michael through these songs gave me an understanding of what true, pure love is. that is what i will always hold deep in my heart, my soul, for the rest of my life. michael, thank you!

my deepest condolences to the jackson family.we feel the lost i grew up with the the jacksons i remember from abc to the thriller he is not was the greatest entertainer he will be missed but definitely not forgotten a true legend

June 28, 2009

i am very pleased that bet has chosen to honor this incredible musical legend during this year's bet awards. i believe in giving honor where honor is due and it is a testament to his great influence. the very fact that the tragic passing of michael jackson would prompt the bet awards and it's performing artists to lay their pride and production on the line at a whim to honor this man for the entire evening is excellent and humbling. thank you bet, thank you mike jackson for your ubiquitous and permeating musical legacy and bet...please pick up the game. peace ya'll.

i have witnessed a lot of celebrities untimely deaths but none has ever touched me the way this one has. michael jackson was my first love and if you were a teenage firl in the 80's he probably was yours too. i am devastated over his passing and i am having a really hard time dealing with and accepting that he is no longer here with us. a lot of things can be substituted or replaced, but not mike. there was only one and the things he did in the short time that we were blessed with his presence cant be done the way he did it by anyone else. i truly truly love michael jackson and i'm sure that t

while growing up in the late 70's in the westcoast michael jackson was part of my childhood as well as others all across the world even though i never went to a concert when he passed felt like a part of my childhood passed as well he will always be the king of pop from his poplockin to his singing to breaking the race barriers all over the world to hunger & poverty he will always be remembered & will always have a special place in my heart even though he's gone we should all celebrate his life god bless & long live michael jackson

micheal jackson was the most talented person alive. i wish i could have went to one of the concerts before his passing on that historic day. not one soul on this earth will ever forget.the funny thing about it all was that when i was little, my parents never told me about michael jackson,we just knew him. that is how powerful he was to all of the commuities all over the world. i hope that everyone remembers him as he was and dont listen to anything that the media has to say about anything that he does because none if it is true.r.i.p michael jackson. your legacy will always be in the hearts o

i know that one thing is promised to everyone, death. however, it happened just in minutes of him leaving the studio. it was way to fast. what really happened to cause it? it's sad, so so sad. michael will always live on in everyone lives. he touched so many people in the world and he helped so many children in the world. michael will never be forgotten. i was just watching some of both, janet and michael. omg, the two of them, dancing and singing the way they do. man, it's amazing. god's gift, man. it is amazing, even looking at their ages, and they come out and sing, turn, dance, and do

a tribute without usher, chris brown & neyo would be wrong. all these young men have such talent & skill in dance like michael. there can only be one michael jackson. we'll never forget michael.all of his suffering is gone. he is at peace now. another issue i'm addressing is i think we all should focus on all his great qualities. he was a such a giving & generous hearted person. i hate he had to leave us all so soon. he will always be the king of pop to me. rest in peace michael, god needed another angel in heaven. his music will continue to remain apart of our lives.my heart felt prayers goe

rest in peace michael jackson- even though i was real little when i first heard of michael jackson i still think of him as king of pop. he is a inspiration to all that respected him. michael jackson will be allways and forever remembered for his music and dancing. he will be missed by:family,firends,and fans. we have lose a man how always that made great music.there are people in the world that don't kno how to forgive people for what they have done and that everyone should get another chance. rememing mj he will always be missed.

June 28, 2009

there will never be another person like michael jackson.. he is and always will be " the king of pop" i believe he is with our maker and that they are sitting on their thrown's in heaven watching us all...so thank you bet for changing what you had planned to honor the "king of pop" so to all the artist out there that are planning on doing something for him on the show ..remember he's up their watching so let's not do it small..this is michael we are talking about..and we all know he like's to do it big!! so in honor of him and his family and children..make it big!!! may you finally be at peace

we have our micheal jackson memories..... the best i remember was when i dance in front of my paralized grandfather in the province when i was 8. he would not say much but when i danced "beat it" in front of him in the summer when we visit he would light up and dance with the beat. thats the only memory of my grand father b4 he died. this is in a province in the 1980s in the philippines man. thank you for helping me connect to my grandfather micheal. your a gift

June 28, 2009

i trust that bet will give mj much honor and respect at the ceremony because the majority of the artist right now wouldn't be who they are without mike so i'm not worried! much luv jackson family!!! rip mike!

oh michael i miss you so very much! you were such a huge part of my life growing up, and the reason music is such a big part of my life to this day. your talent and musical genius will never be matched, and it is with a big thanks to you that so many entertainers are where they are today. thanks, mj, for making my teenage years so enjoyable. rest in peace, and entertain the angels now. i love you.

June 28, 2009

i too don't want to see ppl excepting awards, or hearing anybody songs other than michaels. i think bet should honor michael by maybe opening up with a big performance in the name of mj (i know not to many people feeling chris brown right now, but push that to the side to let he,usher,neyo,and omarion perfume to show respect for mj) michael is the king music not just pop since his death i've listened to nothing but michael jackson day and night its only respectful to do so, his songs are songs i can never get tired of thats part of what makes him the greatest. do it big bet for mj plz honor hi

June 28, 2009

never again will the world witness such raw energy, talent, and creativity. michael jackson revoluntionalized music, dance, and videos. he gave his all to the world, and we all took a little from him. he crossed boundaries, healed, and made us laugh through his music. michael is truley a global icon. i will never forget what i was doing when i heard the news of his death. june 25, 2009 the world stood still to pay tribute the greatest performer ever, michael joseph jackson. rest in peace.

June 28, 2009

i like the bet awards but i really do not care to see anyone receive trophies and give thank you speeches at this time. as a fan of music, right now all i can think about is michael jackson. this man should be the only priority for the night. everyone should be singing his songs and talking about him. please make sure michael jackson is praised as not only the king of pop but the king of music.

June 28, 2009

rip michael jackson, we luv u and we will miss u. in my eyes and in my heart mj will live forever. mj is in a category all by himself. he can't be compare to anyone - that how great mj was. michael jackson is music and will remain in music forever. god bless the jackson family. and thank you, joseph jackson and katherine jackson for michael jackson and the jackson five.

michael jackson rest in peace your sudden death has hit me hard as a fan i never once had any thing bad to say about you despite what the media made up, but the oposite good things . as an entertainer u gave the world so much good songs , dance moves to try to replicate , and most of all you tault us as an people to give so much to one that has so little and i respect that .i dont understand why so many people was so hatefull towards you and treated you unhuman instead of helping you like you helped us by making good music that made u forget every thing it just made you wanna get up and dance

what tribute of today would be complete with out chris brown or maybe usher...they are the closest we have to someone even being an "entertainer" chris has had his problems but i hope bet has him doing what he does best for the king of pop....mike will be truly truly truly missed..i grew up with him and will never forget the music...my heart goes out to his family struggling with this sudden tragedy!!

king of pop... there isnt really one.. but chris brown comes close. michael jackson onece told chris that if he ( m.j. ) were the king of pop... then chris is the prince of pop.. what an honor for chris to be dubbed the prince of pop by his idol michael jackson... the light now is dim over the throan of the king.. a new dawn id ahead.. for the prince shall become the new king... even if he cant exactly fill those black and white dace shoes... gunna miss you m.j.!

i have been a michael jackson fan for as long as i can remember, thinking that the cute little boy on my parents t.v. was just so cool! then in the 80's he took the world by storm. i think i was one of the few females who could moon walk... when my husband preposed to me it was to lady in my life, from the thriller album.. and one of my favorites... even though my husband and i have since divorced... that song still has special meaning for me! mr. jackson... you will be missed... and the light grows dim on your now empty throan... king of pop will live forever in our memories. as for the next

June 27, 2009

he will truly be missed. i can't stop listening to the music from the early jackson 5 years. the songs bring back so many fond memories of childhood and how michael, even then, was a superstar! it's so incredibly heartbreaking.

i like so many can not believe this is true and is happening. i have been a michael jackson fan since his thriller album. just when you thought he did his best he came out with something even better!!! i find myself more emotional than i thought i would be. michael was truly an inspiration to me and i loved him for who he was and for all that he wanted to do for children. the world can be so cruel and i find myself defending him in every meaning of the word. he will truly be missed by me and my heart goes out to his family. there will never be anyone like michael jackson. his life was too shor

this is going to sound crazy but as soon as i heard that mj had passed away my mind wondered off to the bet awards and i immediately said to my mother "i wonder who will perform in the tribute at the bet awards." i knew that without a doubt that they would do a tribute to him. then i thought about chris brown.putting everything to the side that has transpired in his life in the last 4 months i knew he would be the perfect person to pay tribute to the king of pop and that is because of the influence mj has on cb's life. i agree with the person below no mj tribute would be right without him...i

i was never a fan of chris brown, i always thought he was an over grown spoiled child who behaved accordingly and then after the incident it just reinforced my thoughts on him…with that said…there are no other, none artist over the last 20 years whose act shows the influence of mj more than chris brown…and with the death of mj, it shows that we have to separate the artists from the human…i still will never ever buy a chris brown song nor a ticket to a concert but no tribute to mj should be done without him…it is fitting and perhaps this experience will mature him & put life in perspective for
