Beyoncé’s pulling double duty this evening. While headlining the Glastonbury Festival out in England, she’ll be on TV Stateside for the 2011 BET Awards and a simulcast performance. Other A-list celebs with a considerably less stressful Sunday night planned will hit the stage as well.
Will Chris Brown top last year’s show-stealing tribute to Michael Jackson? Will Kelly Rowland outshine her Destiny’s Child bestie? Will host, comedian Kevin Hart, actually be funny? And can the tough guy rappers he’ll likely pick on take a joke? We’ll find out tonight while, of course, weighing in on every last bit of it.
Join us this evening for our 2011 BET Awards coverage live-blog. We, along with the good folks at Essence, will be covering the red carpet from 7pm to 8pm EST. Then stick around for the whole crazy show, which kicks off at 8pm EST. See you then!
The awards show every year puts on a good show, and I`m sure this year won`t be any different.
Deal with the Black Takeover you dumb milky white flat a.s.s racist Tea Party members !!!
Ugh. Im black, and ur seriously embarrassing me.
Seriously?? Why do you have to spew pathetic racist a**hole comments? He wasn’t insulting the BET awards. Learn to read .
LOL Black takeover? The Latino’s just surpassed you as the largest minority. They’re actually getting educated too. Say goooodbye.
dang dude you going too hard…!!!!
Why isn’t there a WET awards show? Or is that racist?
WET awards? They have them all the time. It’s called CMT, MTV, and The Oscars:)
we will see……!!!!!!
Why is this Racist awards show even on ?
Why is the Racist BET even aloud to exist ????
Sad times
The same reason you all have Country music award shows and all of the so called everyone award shows. They let a few token blacks win those award shows (Wink). We as African Americans know what’s up.
You know what else is sad? The fact that you can’t even spell “allowed.”
Did you not see Robin Thicke LBVS
This thread is “heavily” monitored for thread “friendly” comments I surmise?
Racist. Why does no one raise a flag when black people have their own ceremonies, like Miss Black America.
Larry raises a valid question…..Let the name calling begin. LOL
Will EW also be covering the WET Awards as well? Oh, wait…
Couldn’t agree with you more. The fact that this award show even exists is racist beyond belief. It sickens me to see that this kind of blatant racism can continue.
Shhh Jacob. All the other channels on TV are WET. And black people get their own channel after all they have been through.
wondering if the wht ppl have a problem with blk folks y r u commenting on this site get over it because u and i both know yall love everything about our culture ijs
Jacob, let me guess… you’re not a rap fan are you? Also, nobody else cares but you.
And what do these above comments have to do with the BET awards?? Retards i tell u..
Dont pay no mind, I bet watch it anyways ..
I’m sorry for what you went through during your childhood, but you must not blame an entire ethnic group for the actions of a couple morons. I was bullied in middle school, so I know how you feel. I’m hispanic and I also went to a predominantly Black school, but my experience was different than yours. The hispanic kids were the ones who picked on me, and the Black students always had my back. You must not carry all that hate and resentment, because it will end up having negative effects on you and your son. You should keep an open mind because not all black people are like the ones who bullied you in school.
Black people are such hypocrites. They complain how white people are bashing them yet they go right along and bash gay people.
I love Trey Songz…..
newsflash Chris- gay people are hypocrites too. So are straight people and latinos, germans, jewish people and asians I’m sure. You know why? Because PEOPLE are hypocrites. So please take your biggoted, categorizing, judgemental comments elsewhere.
I hate it and am actually ashamed at myself for being white when a black person gets a leg up of any kind on me.
It never ceases to amaze me how people love to hide behind their computers and rely on the anonymity of the internet to express their biggotry. I bet none of you would ever say these things to someone’s face
Your pathetic Delbert
Um.. why are White people Ranting for no reason? Its a AWARD SHOW not Cival Rights. SMH
I bet if white people had a their own award show or their own channel, all the black people would jump on them and yell out racist.
Fact is, in this day and age, it’s the black people who are racists.
Um, that is practically every television network in the country. Also, BET was created so that African-Americans could see themselves on TV and have to wait another some-odd years to achieve that feat.
@Shepherd That argument is so tired. This is not the time or the place for it. Like Confused Much? said BET and things like it were created because African-Americans weren’t getting representation in the main stream markets. Before you start throwing out ignorant and generalized statements please learn the history. And I’m not just talking about Black history, I’m talking about AMERICAN history.
friends, golen girls, lavern and shirley, happy days, three’s company, will and grace, the nanny, two and a half men….where else have we been able to see blackb people over the last 30 years? Same thing with black music…
First off u must don’t watch tv cause every station belongs to whites from the news(cnn) to it all so just shut the hell up and live with it oh by the way the president is half and half I guess he’s racist.
I am black and this sickens me. It is RACIST to have any kind of program that is strictly for one race of people. Which is exactly what the BET awards are promoting here. No need for the separation.
Excuse me. What race is Justin B. If you don’t like it then don’t watch it.
justin bieber was on the show…eminem did the cypher last year, yelowulf performed….etc
I think R&B, Rap, Gospel can pretty much be grouped as a Black cultural thing. Just like Country can be predominantly white. Get over it.
are you’ll serious yo there is black n white award shows and who is still racist? come on grow up n change with the generation and im black and white
They do, dipsh#$.. it’s called CMT.
Dave Marquez is black posing as his archrival…a Mexican.
They stink like a possums ass they do.
Black virgins you mean?
There are no black virgins you dummy.

i thought we was talking about the BET awards.. say much??
GIRL LOL ME TO ME TO BO
We’re in 2011; we are in different times so why are we still letting the negitivity of the pass still haunt us to this day. Black People have always been powerful; Held back from the reality that if they were let go, they would rule the country. Let’s keep Martin Luther Kings dream alive, We have gone to the mountain, our races are joining together to unite to make a better world for all. The only way we are going to keep our peace amongst the races is to educate those who don’t understand. Everyone doesn’t have to love each other but we all need to accept & respect one another. Stop looking at the color of the skin & continue to help build a strong country, nation, world for all.
I guess I was watching the underwear awards. should be sponsored by fruit of the loom
Sorry to say it but as usual BET awards were acually quite lame and boring and nobody sung good really either except lloyd during the pre show how can he be the only one sound somewhat original to the song o yea thats right all the studion affects and sorry but chris brown did not and i repeat did not sing good and wasnt all that good seemed like the pre show entertainment was sooooooo much better and Kelly was OK and yall know that stop giving her sympathy points that performance was not what ppl made it seem sorry
BJ, about Kelly… it was what ppl made it seem and a bag of chips! You can be gayest, most woman-hating dude around and still agree with that.
I hope Taylor Swift shows up and steals the Microphone from Kanye!
