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
They had Kanye and Diddy

Since when did TheColi see J. Cole as an A lister :ohhh:

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
I thought Ella Mai did well, and even Latto (it was ratchet but it was done well)

I feel that if they didn't do the whole LGBT runway and replaced that with a legends segment like you said it might have worked out a little better

The audio for the show was bad like everybody needs to be fired bad. The award show must of had been a final exam for SAE graduates.

The lack of star power is astonishing.....music is so trash right now

The star power is what it is imo, the real problem is the stage presence of these cats are AWFUL, they have the stage presence of a HS kid at a talent show.

Quite the opposite. The people you saw are today’s stars. Influencers and viral artists appear to have more impact than conventional celebrities.
what value does a influencer or viral artist bring to an award show where performances drive views and actual artists win awards? these nikkas filming IG live clips on stage for us? :dwillhuh:

especially for a show that used to appeal to all generations, old millennials, gen x and boomers don't give AF about Gen Z social media personalities
