NOT QUITE WHAT I EXPECTED

The BET Awards aired last night at 8pm eastern/5pm central. According to reports, the network overhauled the whole show to pay tribute to Michael Jackson. There were a couple of renditions of his songs from Jaime Foxx, Ne-Yo and New Edition, as well as a surprise appearance from Michael’s sister, Janet Jackson.

Personally, I hope BET plans to produce a separate tribute because that one wasn’t as profound as I was expecting, which is kind of sad. This moment was a real opportunity for BET to show the essence of how special Jackson was to the music world but I’m afraid that didn’t come across.

If you watched the show, do you think BET honored Michael Jackson well?
