If only more people would hear about this!

Bullsh*t Empty Tel-lie-vision and this will be another award show with just that. Justin Bieber? They scramblin' harder than Def Scam! And there is no more Queen Latifah... Dana Owens had her murked. Did you not see that debacle before the Superbowl? Why am I even wasting my time talking about this? I'll be reading tweets and watching it on prolly like the 3rd or 4th rerun, better yet, I'll DVR it and scan the hilarity.

i already am not feeling the performers for this year that have been announced so far.i am almost scared to see who they are gonna pay tribute to this year because bet is not moving this awards show in the right way which is sad because its like the only black music awards show we have.and as for last year the end where janet came out and then jaime foxx and neyo singing i'll be there was the only thing worth remembering

And they say we can't get together on anything. Bet is so rarely watched in my home, i forget what channel it is, plus its not in HD in H-town. I think the last thing i watched was when Maxwell came back and sung a tribute to Al Green. there are too many other better shows on than anything bet is showing. centric was everything that bet was supposed to be but they changed the format of that as well. Maybe it will be sold again and someone will change the format to something meaningful

BET... BAD ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION I won't be watching there will something better airing on a local access station.

I've long ago stopped watching and caring- and I am an independent artist. Don't forget BET was bought a few years ago, but it sold out YEARS ago.

i will be watching just for the fuckery

Like a fool, I tuned into the BET awards w/ a heavy heart because Michael Jackson had passed. I hadn't watched the BET awards since 2006 (?), after I saw Deborah what's her name saying the awards had been retooled to honor and pay tribute to MJ, of course I wanted to watch. The fuckery was nonstop. I was so angry. The highlight was Janet Jackson showing up but the show overall was a hot ghetto mess. I will never watch BET again.

I would comment but I think we are all on the same page with this continued fuckery. I will watch via Twitter as BET is forbidden in my home.

I tend to let the award show air, then after reading/hearing about the "highlights" or should i say "lowpoints", i catch the nearest re-run for those parts only. Just for kicks and giggles. The awards they give out just seem meaningless. It's just the same ish different year.

On the few occassions I'm watching BET (primarly for Wendy Williams and sometimes Mo'Nique), I see promos for BET30. BET has been 30 years old since January. I hear they are going to have a celebration for BET's prime days but why wasn't there some type of celebration back in January?

BET is now older than it's target demographic. I feel BET's demographic is now 10-21. At 25, i grew up watching Video Soul (Sherry Carter & Donnie Simpson), VIdeo Vibrations, Midnight Love, Rap City (Joe Clair), Teen Summit and so on....that was really the heyday of BET. Unfortunately those days have been long gone and BET is the laughing stock of networks. Tragic!

Hopefully the Queen will be a good host. Maybe a couple of OK performances will prevail. But I've pretty much lost all faith in all things BET.

I'm tired of setting expectations for BET. It's just as redundant as the critiques of MTV, the network & their lack of music-oriented programming & of my once-favorite show, The Real World. I just watch TV One or rehash good memories via YouTube. The execs who are running these networks are idiots. No way to explain it, no way around it.
