How they snub summer walker like that. She was def best female r&/pop, her or Doja Cat. But Summer Walker got all the female R&B anthems, she is the culture and her music is fire. I'm too old for this bullshyt. Awards are some fake ass shyt, fake ass entertainment lol.

I honestly don’t know what to make of the show, it was just…meh.

They definitely gotta do something different with the BET Awards.

The production and lighting was god awful..

Ratings will be at an all time low due to Lack of star power.. I noticed this generation seriously lacks name and star power

No Beyoncé Drake, Cole, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Kendrick etc

It’s cause too many of them are social lefts stars instead of actual stars like what was mentioned earlier in this thread. They basically get the spotlight on them and break out too fast before they even have an identity, and that’s how the industry chews them up and spits them out so fast as well.

Yea, we need to rethink this. At this point when I was a kid, award shows had a good mix of honoring and including 60s-80s stars with modern, no way we shouldn’t be pulling in Carl thomas, Jon b, donnell Jones, even someone like ciara and mixing shyt up. BET plays reruns all year, they should have enough budget leftover to lure big artists out to perform, and honestly, we need some level of decorum, I ain’t trying to be a prude but toning it down from 20 to 10 would help. Lastly, this new era lacks a lot of talent that makes seeing them on stage drag down shows, the rappers have no stage presence or breath control and the singers just can’t sing.

ionno, this was not a good show and I don’t walk away interested in anyone who performed

Big artists don't show up to these award shows for the same reasons the show is getting roasted as a whole. Imagine having some of the biggest stars out here performing and they have to deal with bad mics.

Then there's the fact that the overall sentiment towards pretty much anything Black is that it isn't as important. For years, BET Awards have been looked as low budget and even our own people look at the Grammys as THE awards show.

I don't really expect a BET Awards to pull out legends like that. Carl Thomas performs at a BET Awards and it'll be pretty much people clowning talking about "where they find Carl at", "he ain't had a hit since the Clinton Administration". Same with Jon B. And Ciara would definitely get lit up. Donnell Jones is also great, but I could see people roasting him like "who is that". God forbid any of these artists come on the show looking rough because Alexander O'Neal caught it the year he performed. The stills from his performance are still floating around as memes to this day.
