Funny stuff! I was switching channels between this and America’s Got Talent. Neither could keep my attention.

I did see Cuba at the podium with other presenters. He was acting crazy with the screaming. Did you miss that?!

@SjP - If only for that one portion of the show, I am SO glad that I tuned in...I would have been one upset sista had I missed that!

WHEW!!! I was scared to come over here. Didn’t know how I was going to face you cause I watched the Awards, too. But, my folks twisted my arm! Really. It was on all four of our TVs – nothing else was on…really! But seeing Maxwell was worth it! When he came on, I said “oh my, Ms. Marva going to so sad she missed this!” He was great! and I’m glad you got to see him. Al of course was simply marvelous (no pun intended ).

And he really look good! See you tomorrow for OSF!

@Cynthia – Wasn’t the Al Green Tribute awesome!? Some good stuff right there…I am however, right there with yo about Black music…daggit…

The name of the song by Marvin Sapp: Never Would Have Made It…it has become my mantra so I know it well!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED The Al Green TRIBUTE.

My mom raised me up on that man. So, the memories are bittersweet. I remember seeing him in concert and I was one of the youngest people up and singing along with him, with his shiny, gold suit on. I love him! Followed by Mr. Sapp-I have to download that song, does anyone know the name of it. He sang right when I needed to hear it and I got all teary eyed.

The SWV, EnVogue, Alicia and TLC segment was the next fave but the rest, ehhhhhhhhhhh..no.

I’m losing faith in black music. Yes, I said it. Or at least the popular stuff.

I think my daughter said it best during the pre-show when BIC and Soulja Boy performed— “What’s That?” Out of the mouths of babes…..

I didn’t even know it was on. BET is so off my radar I totally forgot. I read the post over at Soulbounce and LMAO.

@MrsGrapevine – The 90’s flashback was good…but the Al Green tribute? AWESOME!! I think it was the best part…hugely because of Maxwell…I’m sure BET will run the show into the grounds in re-airs, so you’ll get to see it soon…

I missed it, so I really appreciate your recap. I want to see the 90’s girls flashback and the Al Green tribute.
