I’m not tryin’ to hate…

…but the BET Award show last night was boooring! I waited for nearly a month to catch a glimpse of great performances, surprise guests and anything spectacular (it was on last year’s award show that the Fugees reunited—I watched that performance a good ten times!), but I felt let down with this year's show.

Damon Wayans was the host for the evening, which may not have been the best choice (hello, why didn’t someone get my boy Cedric?!). I love all 50 members of the Wayans clan (Marlon is my fave), but Damon’s comedy routines are hit or miss, and on last night’s award show he seriously missed! He appeared bored, nervous and looked as though he would run off the stage in a matter of seconds.

The technical difficulties were also a little off-putting. T.I.’s performance was barely audible, and Puffy’s mic took a few minutes to work.

But all in all, the night wasn’t a total bust. The highlight of the night for me was watching Chaka Khan perform with Stevie Wonder, India. Arie, Yolanda Adams and Prince. It was cool to see her strut her stuff, and show the young divas-in-training what a real singer can do.

Just in case you missed the show, click here for details. (psst...y’know that BET will rerun it like crazy, right?! So I’m sure that you will catch it at some point)
