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!

BET has the same financial backing as MTV so the money is there its just that BET is not seeing a lot of it yet.

I'll have to agree with what someone said about BET slowly becoming like MTV. I think eventually they are going to change the name to Urban "Something or Other" so that they can get more than just African Americans on.

BTW, NSYNC ON BET!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!

OKAAAY? I nearly cried when I saw how Whitney looked and behaved. What a mess! We need to thank Bobby Brown(that's what Whitney said)? For what? Turning her into a druggie? To me, it was a very sad moment.

Does anyone think that BET is becoming more more like MTV everyday? Especially since they were bought by Viacom which also owns MTV.

[CrimsonTide4]

I can see your point. While I really have fallen off of the watching BET horse, I do see that the programming lacks depth. A majority of the programming is solely for music videos and who's who in music but those are the programs that capture the audience's attention (read: young America).

I think BET is doing a disservice to the youth because they are glamorizing a lifestyle that many of the audience can only dream of obtaining. They are not showing our young people that yes you can be a productive member of society without being a rapper, singer, or a baller. However, BET is not the only glamorizing the GOOD LIFE. IT is up to parents to govern what their children can and cannot watch on TV.

Personally, I was very DISAPPOINTED in the awards show----so much so that I just went and took my bath in the middle of Whitney's song. So I missed her speech, or whatever, afterwards.

THE GOOD:

1. Steve and Ced (they were good)
2. Christina Agullara (excuse the spelling, but that girl can sing).
3. Eve's boots were on the money (but the rest of the outfit could go).

THE BAD:

1. Davante's hair and PURSE!!! (what's up with that?). He's GOT to be on something.
2. Mary J. Blige's outfit (that belonged in the trash. With ALL that money she has, I would have figured that she'd wear something more...let's say CLASSY!!!).
3. Little Bow-Wow's hair (what was HE trying to prove?).
4. Beyonce' (as you may already know). Why is she STILL trying to get all the glory, especially whenever they perform?
5. Andre'(from Outkast). He's a COMPLETE mystery. And he ALWAYS looks like a D*M FOOL!!
6. All of the artists who decided that they wanted to use their straight-up GHETTO language during the ceremony. BLACK PEOPLE PLEASE!!!!!
7. And can ANYONE believe that JILL SCOTT didn't get anything (that I'm aware of).

THE UGLY: (Refer back to THE BAD).

http://www.bet.com/awards
THEN after the awards show we will be hosting THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY III featuring a new category WHAT THE!?!?.

I'm in South Africa right now, so I don't get regular BET. Instead I get "BET International". Do any of you know, if the BET awards show will be airing again? Do you think it will be airing on BET International? I'll check the TV listings here as well.

From the previous posts, I think it will be hillarious to say the least. Can't wait to watch!

Again Jodeci, WTFFFFFF! They all looked high except Jo Jo (Is that the fat one) he looked so ashamed. Also he wasn't dressed like any of them. Dalvin and DeVante are the worse, they were trying to tske over on stage. I know Kci and Jo Jo were like excuse me we are the ones with a career so back the *BLEEP* up. It has been said for awhile thast DeVante was on drugs. Is it me or did he look sick also...
They need to change the name to the Ghetto awards. Whitney did not surprise me, because I've know for a long time her azz was ghettooooo. Mt cousin used to work for her, its not the drugs, she is naturally ghetto. Although Mary should have learned her speech, I love Mary, I like her because she is straight forward and real.
Ok why did Christina A. sound much better than most of te black folks singing? She can blow.
Did anyone see the pre-show when Kim W. through up the Pyramid. I had to OOP the TV.
