2008 BET Awards: Who Walked Away Shining

1. It was good to see the ladies of En Vogue on stage again, and Al Green's performance topped it off!

2. The show was pretty good... not as good as 2006's show, but it was good. I did get a bad jolt a couple of times when Keyshia Cole's rifts went sour... REAL sour. Seeing SWV, En Vogue and TLC was great... even though Coco seemed to be a little weak in the knees when she was trying to walk down the stairs. Let me stop. Good show, BET. I MAY start watching you again.

4. BET IS REALLY A STATION THAT EMBRACES IGNORANCE AND FOOLISHNESS. HOW DO CAN YOU SHINE A POSITIVE SPOTLIGHT ON THUGS AND LOW LIFES LIKE THAT IDIOT NAME LIL WAYNE? WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD LET THEIR CHILDREN BE AROUND PEOPLE LIKE THAT? BET NEED TO CLEAN UP THIER ACT AND START SHOWING AND SHINNING THE SPOT LIGHT ON POSITIVE PEOPLE.

5. ANYTIME SOMEONE HONORS THUGS - LOW LIFES LIFE THAT IDIOT LILWAYNE, IT'S A PROBLEM. SHOW HONOR AND APPRECIATION FOR RESPECTFUL PEOPLE. BET SHOW SOME CLASS.

6. Once again Al Green proves that old school is not so old. I was so proud of the other artists singing along with Al just like those of us who were there back in the day. The Reverend Al Green ain't no joke. He's still got it. My kids didn't have a choice when they were smaller so they know all of Al's music and when they saw Luda & Diddy singing and dancing it let them know that us older folks might know a little somethin'.

7. Their show was way better than that elementary talent show last year.

I wish Alicia would have brought out Xscape. I wish there had been more singers for Al Green's tribute.

OMG, I had to rewind Chris Brown & Ciara's dancing.

Lil Wayne did good. I'm glad he won something. I think Wayne deserved the best male hip-hop award though.

They need to get rid of the Best Female Hip-Hop award because all the nominees were not relevant in 2007-2008 and/or garbage.

I also have a newfound respect for T-Pain. He did kill it. I really don't care for him, but he is on the grind.

Overall, loved the show.

8. I don't know wat you are talking about, DAC. I thought the show was off the hook and the music was great. Lil' Wayne is a terrific artist and he isn't some convict looking to send subliminal messages to little kids to go sell dope and shoot your "wifeys" up and call them hoes.
I was a little disappointed with Rhianna's performance. Her singing was a little weak and I wish she would have moved around more, but all in all the show was amazing.
I have to admit my favourite part was when Chris Brown got down real low and was talking about, "Take U Down." Lord, I could have jumped off the couch and lapped at the screen, lmfao.
I would also like to say that I loved En Vogue, SWV, and TLC. It was great to see them all again together and singing.

10. All I can Say is Maxwell!!!! That was the highlight of the night for me period. Loved Alicia Keys preformance. I was SOOOOOOO DISAPPOINTED by Keyshia Cole and I usually love her.

12. The only good performance I liked was Al Green, Maxwell, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott was good too! I am glad that Al Green got a Lifetime Achievement Award"! He deserved it! If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't be singers here today! It was nice seeing Maxwell perform. He still has that sexy nice voice! I didn't like when Chris Brown came on stage with that RAUNCHY MESS! It was all in your face and I didn't APPRECIATE THAT and CIARA! INAPROPRIATE!

I got so sick and tired of seeing T-PAIN with that stupid "Tom Petty" hat! It was like he was on all through the show! He acted like that was his SHOW?Rick Ross should have kept a SHIRT on! Big Boy looked disguising to me! What was up with T-Boyz last night? Girlfriend like she was lost and on somethin? I was like, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? I didn't like the TLC, En Vogue, and SWV at all! Everybody tryin to make a come back! Riahna sung AWLFUL and her GOTH LOOKING DRESS didn't help either! We all waited for THAT! Keysha Cole's and Lil Kim was a HOT MESS! Keysha's voice was ALL OVER THE PLACE! PITCHY! Lil Kim made it worse with her screaming! I wonder what happened to MISSY? I think, she could have help saved the performance? I got tired of Keysha Cole's mom and sister sayin that's my BABY! so GHETTO and their outfits!

I was like, Ashanti better not get an award for that CONTRIVERSAL video! She should no better having a video like that! Giving the wrong impression to women that it's OK to kill your boyfriend and get revenge! PLEASE! No, I didn't like her SPIDER UGLY-LOOKING DRESS! Lauren London's Dress was a HOT MESS! Girlfriend's dress had no SUPPORT!

Lil Wayne and T-Pain was HORRIBLE! I don't understand how Lil Wayne is now a singer/guitar player/rapper? He is not a good performer and his lyrics are WACK! Lil Wayne, "Lolly Pop" That! NO I DON'T WANT TO LICK THE WRAPPER! But Milli, that's my song though! I only like the music!

What is up with Ms. Debra's clothes and her presentations? Every time she's on, she let's it all hang out? NO CLASS! That's my opinion. I am disappointed in BET AWARDS and BET PERIOD! You couldn't enjoy the show with all the BEEPS in it! I thought it was GHETTO, INNAPROPRIATE, and not CLASSY! In my opinion, BET has gone DOWNHILL!

13. I agree with Lou Lou! MAXWELL!!!!!MAXWELL!!! Welcome back baby!!!! I missed you!!! RIP Pimp C!! I'm glad UGK FINALLY got the recognition they deserved. Too bad Pimp C had to be gone before he was able to see some appreciation!! And as Baphee said, I was one of those kids that was forced to listen to Al Green back in the day, and now that I'm grown I LOVE his music and still listen to this day. Al Green & Maxwell stole the show!!! MAXWELL!!!!!!!
