Best of the Night. Yes. Beyonce was in the building! First of all nobody knew she was set to perform, but after her dancers walking in formation on the pre-show red carpet, we pretty much knew she had to be somewhere in hiding, or waiting to show up and out. Bey opened up the Awards, and shut down the stage with "Freedom" alongside special guest Kendrick Lamar!
I had no word's left in me for a good five minutes. After Beyonce performance, the queen left the awards with the quickness of Air-force One! Lets be clearly honest yall know she was not about to sit there while she big fish to fry. But BET Finally had a Beyonce budget again, thank you so much.
Worst! Alicia Keys.. Girl. She was doing way too much, She DIY to her song In Common which is a pretty dope I might say, but she was doing the most (EJ Johnson Voice). It took her nearly a good 20 minutes to spark up a clap on whatever thing she was pressing on, Alicia best performance was BET Awards 2010 when she was pregnant jumping on piano's, and singing her heart out. But she threw away this performance like she threw away her makeup kits. Sorry Alicia..but you need to dig a little deeper. (BTW Alicia has flawless skin!)
Best! Bilal and Erykah Badu..But Mostly Bilal! BET promised a Prince tribute, but it was multiple people. By far my favorite pick was Bilal, he sung Prince song "The Beautiful Ones" and sang that song till he rolled on the floor..literally. Like a heated Stop, drop, and roll. He stole the show and by the looks of it he also stole some peoples mamas, and aunties hearts too.
Worst. Now this actually hurt me watching Usher.. He preformed his song "No Limit" he's not talking about Master P okay! It's hip hop trap type something that Usher isn't in a lane for, it's more a Chris Brown type song so I don't know what Usher was thinking but he wasn't stunting hard like he should've. It felt like I was watching him trying to hold to a failing rope. The only thing good about his show was the back of his jacket that read "Don't Trump America" and the dancing, but that song needs to be reevaluated.
Best Beyond Best! Jesse Williams. He is so woke and aware, I have never in my life been so proud of an acceptance speech given on that stage. Jesse took home the humanitarian award and brought up something that's worth to be talked about. Sharing how we as a black people, as a whole should do better and want better for ourselves. How we paid for brands to wear, but while for years our people had brands on their back, and noticing the black women who goes to bat for black men was amazing. "Just because we're magic, doesn't mean we're not real" I just couldn't no more...Jesse for president!
YEEESS!
I honestly can't give out no more after Jesse, but all in all the awards was 8 and that's because of Beyonce, Prince and Jesse. Between the on going shenanigans and Desiigner up there on the stage like he was like a suffering body from a emoji and word attacks looking like train of confusion. I call it a day.
