2012 BET Award Recap

I know the 2012 BET Awards was almost a week ago, but I still want to share my favorite moments from the show. 

I think I can speak for everyone when I say the highlight of the entire award show was the tribute to Whitney Houston. The tribute began with Mariah Carey coming out sharing her personal memories with Whitney. Since her death you hear a lot of fake stories, or stories that never really held any significance. So when Mariah came out looking flawless, might I add, you couldn't help but start tearing up. After she spoke one of my favorite singers, Monica (shown above) sung her heart out. Once Monica left the stage, Brandy came to the stage to perform. I was personally happy to see her involvement in the tribute because her and Whitney had been close, and for awhile she didn't want to perform in any kind of tribute because it was too emotional. However, she pulled through and looked and sounded great. The highlight of the entire performance was Cissy Houston coming out to sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water", I believe no other network would of been able to make that happen other than BET. To end the musical proportion was my all time favorite singer Chaka Khan come out, to sing "I'm Every Woman", she looked and sounded amazing through her performance as well. The tribute ended with Whitney's co-star's from Waiting to Exhale sharing their fondest memories with her, now that was a tribute. 

Many people haven't mentioned this, but Melanie Fiona sung her ass off during her performance and that placed her as one of my favorite performances of the night.

Many people focused on Usher's sneakers during his performance, but not his vocals. He delivered vocally and after being within the industry for all of these years, I would say that he still has it. 

 I'll admit I was expecting more from Chris Brown, but the creativity was most definitely within his performance. That's why I believe mentioning his performance is necessary. 

I think Nicki Minaj's performance is worth mentioning because she rapped. When I heard her rapping I think I was extremely surprised because now a days you just hear her try to sing like a pop star, so it was nice she decided to return to rap that night. As far as her ass, that's her issue. 

I think one thing that had everyone talking that night was the front row. Many people thought that Kim Kardashian being at the BET Awards was awkward and that she looked kind of out of place, and I would have to agree. Nonetheless Beyonce and Jay-Z's appearance at the award show was a more important topic. The two ran against each other for a couple of the awards that night, and they both went home with two awards each.
