BET has that show Testimony...MTV has had the Diary show...that chronicles the lives of such stars as Jay Z, etc. They need to step it up b/c (although she says she loves BET and acknowledges that BET is her root) Ananda Lewis made it painfully clear that her TRUE success came after she left BET for MTV. Now she's doing commercials and what not...go head...too bad BET couldn't do that for her.

BET can not afford to become MTV for black people, if only because a lot of black folks watch MTV too! Am I the only one who has noticed that MTV has put a LOT more black music- not just rap, but r&b too- on their station? I can't turn to MTV without hearing that Alicia Keys song "Fallin" or Craig David "Fill Me In" or "Hit Em Upo Style" by Blu something. BET has got to shape up!
