we would surely miss the King of Pop. Michael Jackson is definitely a legend in the history of music.

Shelly your an idiot! First, of all “Death to Autotune” is a great song, and in no way does it have any bearing or does it feel weird to have that in the same show that pays tribute to MJ. Secondly, I just went to the Jay-Z Concert Thursday night here in Phoenix and he paid a great tribute to MJ at all of his shows, so he does care. I think BET could have done more ans Jamie needed to stop altogther, but instead of blaming BET for NOT putting him on, let’s direct the blame back at Chris who did all of this to begin with, He would be more fitting to do a bit honoring Ike Turner thank MJ lately.

NO wonder the show sucked so bad. Instead of a true MJ fan and friend, they had whack Jay Z and fake Beyonce performing! This is the same chick that trashed the Jackson family in the media a few months ago, and people are supposed to believe that she was sincere? Ya right. BET should have let Chris go on and let the two of them walk. Her so called tribute had nothing to do with MJ and his song titled DEATH was uncalled for one a so called tribute to a recently deceased Icon.

RIP Michael

Jay Z and Beyonce gave the guys at BET an ultimatum: If Chris Brown performs, we don’t! Who made them the boss!? MJ didn’t even care about BET

I cannot be mad at Covergirl for blocking CB. No way they can pay to be on a show he’s part of. Rihanna’s their girl.

I feel that they should’ve let CB participate, give him a chance, jus’ like you would anybody else. I knnow that he made a mistake, but he also needs a chance to get back on his feet entertainment wise. PEACE!!!

The awards was wack. I thought it would b a better tribute. Even if they didn’t want to let chris brown perform, they could of have usher, ginuwine, omarion, jt, to honor him with some performances. I’m mad I wasted my time. Horrible show and mj would b mad

But Don Cornelius was there and he beat his wife. Wow BET. I’ll be sending them a message. First, Jamie needed 2 stop taking every 5 minutes to perform a song like ppl wanted to hear him sing. He was the host, not the whole show. All that time that he used to sing could’ve been used for MJ’s tribute. Jamie’s so called comedy was more than inappropriate, especially considering the theme for the Awards show. Then, BET said we were going to celebrate Michael but it looked more like a funeral to me, with the sad songs and the old friends making comments like it was a eulogy. Now the old friends would have been fine if not for the fact that not one of Michael’s songs were played. How do you celebrate an artist and not play his music or have a performance to his music? The Awards were so ridiculous, it was not a tribute to MIchael and they have ultimately failed him. BET knows that a tribute from Chris Brown, Usher, Ne-yo, Justin Timberlake, and Ciara would have saved the show. I have never seen such a boring BET Awards show in my life and I will never watch the show again.

WoW, I am so shocked BET needs to find a back bone. MJ called Chris on his 18th birthday, Chris loved MJ just as all the other arist did. Not to be mean I Loved MJ but hell the man himself wasn’t a church boy he had his problems. Chris will live past the problems he has gotten into. I think BET did MJ a disjustice by not letting Chris say good bye. And like it was said Lil Wayne give me a f-ing break, BET is a joke.
