BET Awards - Best of BET Awards, Usher, Ludacris & Lil Jon (Performance)

[@mjnettles800]

Hands down, THE best performance!!!! Oh and still watching this in 2021

[@TheSuperstarNext]

Usher is one of the best to ever do it! That opening though... Never seen nothing like it

[@Thriller26]

You MUST Be Young. Usher Moves Slow...He Can't Compete w/Omarion or Even Chris Brown. He's Just Okay!!! Of Course Michael Jackson The Greatest Entertainer Of All Time. I'm SURE Your Parents Told You That...NO MATTER Your Age!!!

[@royalgonzalez723]

@Thriller26 since when did moving make u a good dancer

[@MrGilliam730]

Facts just was listening to yeah thru Apple Music I’m like nah I gotta see the performance he bodied that

[@TC-rx3hv]

@@Thriller26 usher is a smoother and more refined dancer than Omarion and Chris. He has control over what he does. Still to this day..

[@dancedownyeah25]

Say that again louder for the Chris brown fans who think they can come up against usher iconic performance and on that note you never will again see nothing like it! Lmao 🤣

[@earlclark6002]

Back when I was making sure I did NOT miss the BET Awards

[@DayneCarter]

so glad that i was born to live during the legacy of this great man... I just wish that everyone would stop bringing up the controversies of his life and just appreciate this man music... may you R.I.P Michael

[@gdc6153]

Opening was sick

[@Gisada033012]

Glad I found this one. Really loved this performance, the opening did it for me.

[@mayadabest]

I sure was right in front of the TV recording it lol. One of the best performance that night

[@kennybaxter6364]

Beginning was the best part

[@Cocoa13]

Kenny Baxter yes it was

[@kevykev38]

Usher is one of the very few male Black artists that can sing (in tune) And has class so much that **his jeans aren't falling down showing his boxers**. he doesn't have the need to do that. The man has talent.

[@andrepalmer9937]

Sound quality sucks

[@dancedownyeah25]

The sound went out when the explosion happen and he said peace up A town down lol 😂

[@yogurlterra95]

this show was soooo tight... they really payed tribute to mike and his family. the finale was beautiful ecspecially the pics. but poor janet.. you could see all the pain in her face and how affected and saddened she was by all of this. i really believe she the closest to michael.. R.I.P TO THE K.I.N.G OF P.O.P A.K.A M.J.J

[@SlimKim3]

Remember the years were i used to always look forward to the BET Awards. Now they breeze by and I don't even know.

[@tierrahurt9718]

I’m here in 2022 still one ☝🏽 of my favorite performances by Usher💯🔥

[@MoralesGirl4]

Without Michael Jackson, Usher wouldn't be here doing what he's doing now.. Thank you for everything you've brought to this world MJ. RIP.

[@icecreamdolly8]

i love usherrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hes like my number one guy that i love in the industry!

[@emmanuelkuyateh3170]

Before Chris Brown, Usher was the KING of the BET Awards.

[@aclinton415]

Man I remember waiting for this to come on in the summer at my cousin house the bet awards was a must to watch back than now I'll pass

[@midsummergirl]

I kind of agree with you there and before someone gives me a 'thumbs down', I'm someone of 'colour'.

[@sansanmlg]

i watched about BET award 2009 this morning and i found out that almost all the comments so sucks. Whats wrong with you guys, just enjoys all the performances, they worked hard for this , just try to appreciate !

[@DonMelodie]

its the best of the BET Award,it ain't necessary in 2009 it could be in 05,06 08 is like the best moments of all the Bet Awards

[@steviethekid12]

i didnt expect usher to be one of the dancers on the slanted glass...the man is versatile

[@startitangirl]

Thank you.

[@elevate4eva]

I'm Black and I agree with you. I wouldn't mind a WET awards show.

[@Hazelsmith002]

I am loving your comments 901molly60, I came home when I was in grade school in the 90's just to see what new video Michael Jackson had come out with four that month, he really did pave the way, so many artists wouldn't be famous if they weren't influenced by his skills (lol) like Chris Brown, Ne-yo( MJ's Smooth Criminal Video) or 98 degrees, and Backstreet Boys...there's so many more, he knocked down walls in what was suppose to be R and B he changed it and pushed the envelope with his videos.

[@Deepstarr7020]

I absolutely agree with you.I think the biggest problem with the tribute is that there aren't any good entertainers.The R&b singers had weak voices none of them could sing MJ's songs, and when the rappers preformed they were out of place and it was no longer a MJ tribute, just a rap show. Beyoncè did wonderful but it wasn't really a MJ tribute in my eyes.

[@traveyunconey7870]

Good show

[@daveallanon]

Some good points there my friend. The thing about the Irish Bar tho - its a throw back to about 20 years ago - they only exist outside Ireland. Its embaressing really - we're known worldwide for being drunk and playing weird instruments : )

[@AlesheaDominique]

So was I !

[@ayanfeakinsola]

He is a good dancer

[@Sleepyxedward]

my family always watch these awards so this time i wanted to watch it and it was weak as hell

[@daveallanon]

Im white irish an I like J Fox as an actor - I love MJ - J Fox made me cringe at the awards - i thought he was racist - im sorry if that offends anyone - but MJ's attitude was clear - in Black or White and others - thats why he was universally loved - because he didnt care - just felt J Fox made a major point of BLACK MAN - who cares - wouldnt care if he was green - id still love the man.

[@ladyslick121]

same here. he is bloody talented

[@bongiwe]

Joe Jackson is no demon by any means. He was a hardworking man raising his family to be something special with a clear and clean work ethic and made them into superstars. If he didn't you wouldn't even know of a Michael Jackson or The Jacksons or Janet. They are a reflection of his hard efforts.

[@Illidiex2]

yah nice performance man see too Sector dip - kem so os donos do crunck i luv it man

[@mihiva]

Best dirty south performance?!?! Oh I dig baby,I dig!!!

[@neroxu]

this song is awesome, i was wondering the other day what happen to it!

[@spanishjointdos]

Doesn't matter if you're black or white, if you love the man so much maybe you should head his words.

[@Amea2sxc19]

I love usher to death.. Meanit when i say it.. Fan for many more years..

[@damionjwilliams]

oh wow look it's the BAFOON ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION AWARDS!!

[@Sister616]

[@sHiNsAiKo]

[@jasmine9289]

Melanin - Ankh ❤️

[@josephmichaelbaby3673]

YESSSIR!! 🔥

[@Catchetat]

yeah - usher

[@southryda1]

thanks brah :)

[@nodelusions]

LOVE IT! LOVE BET!! GREAT JOB!

[@mommaseal]

People never stopped loving M.J. and if you think that then you are the one that is ignorant. Did you not pay attention to when he arrived for court and he had all his fans cheering him on? What about the love that over 750,000 people showed him by buying tickets to his concert that he was going to do in July? If that is not loving him, then what is? He had people that stayed by his side, and we will always stand by his side, even after his death.

[@adrianabaee1992]

If Luda not y’all top 5 yall ain’t shit he said he full cup like double dsssss hard bar ❤

[@lintiklintik]

I made a reaction of MJJ's death. You will never be forgotten & your music live forever!.RIP Michael. P.S. All of you haters should act like a human right now!!.. You shouldn't need to celebrate!!.. That was mean!!.. All the accusations are false.. NOT PROVEN means NOT GUILTY!!.But if you had any proof!. why you did not go to the trial and show it to the judge!.And why are you making fun with a person who is dead??Are you trying to be an ignorant or your naturally ignorant?. Give some RESPECT!!

[@actingproductions]

I'm not sure if people are actually commenting on this video performance or the entirety of the BET show, but I enjoyed this performance, I found the beginning of this clip very creative. It lost luster toward the end, I actually would have expected more creativity from Ludacris. It seems his hair in afro was his only new artistic contribution to the song. A better finale would have been better to even out such an unexpected beginning.

[@mahmoudabozied2069]

Hhaha I found it, been looking for this one.

[@damascusroad072008]

True, but remember this is an award show. It takes awhile to put a proper tribute show together for Michael Jackson considering the circumstances. Believe it that there will be many phenomenal shows honoring Michael Jackson.

[@blacktreemedia]

agreed.

[@ngangaxpikachu]

wow, dacing on the slope? that's cool!

[@snoops71]

If there had never been segregation and discrimination in this country to start with, there never would have been channels like BET. Never would have been necessary.

[@jimkonti4722]

TOP performance

[@HummingbirdWilliams]

There is nothing racist about the BET awards or about BET. Whn we were refused the same treatment as other artist we made our own outlet. Thats he beauty of African American people. We dontneed anyones hands outs. WE MAKE OUR OWN WAY! WITH OUT BRINGING SOME ONE ELSE DOWN TO MAKE US FEEL SUPERIOR!

[@lopytube]

ahhhh REMEMBER THE DAYZ WHEN KZbin DIDNT CARE ABOUT COPYRIGHTS not as much

[@giarichards8379]

Usher tried but that crowd was DEAD.

[@yanavik]

hey think about that the organisators of the show had a few days to organaize the new program...thats hard job they did what they can...RIP Michael

[@lilcandypop07]

THIS IS MY SONG

[@viglen08]

its jus appreciatin black people, which is not done mush in mainstream culture u know, not racist!

[@theashleyirwin]

if you hate BET why are you watching this? im white & i like BET. race isnt everything; soo stop fighting about it all the time .. damnnnnn

[@Queenslands]

Well Said!!

[@blacktreemedia]

somuch- its not the black music awards, it is the Black Entertainment Television Award show. That has been the name of the station since its existence. They could call it "Not the MTV Awards", or the "Urban Awards", but at the end of the day, somebody is gonna take offense to it no matter what. I am not in defense of BET as a network as to what they do or how it is run, but I am in defense of their existence and the option it gives to people who are not represented widely in mainstream.

[@mj4lyfe101]

nooooo i believe it was 07 bet awards

[@crunk4124]

5 stars performance.

[@k252]

MJ!!!

[@Drizzle4Ever]

yeaaah!

[@domski93]

Chris Brown would have stole the show if he did his MJ tribute R.I.P MJ

[@JoePerdue]

its already called the CMT Music Awards.

[@lexaneli]

whoever you are, u're not the only one..something I can never understand is the existence of racism

[@MIA11406]

Lol ... I couldn't agree with you more!

[@Desttinyy]

Exactly, so this whole time people just made fun of him for having a disease, I'm they feel so proud, ugh people are so ignorant these days and just let the media do the thinking for them. However I'm glad he is at rest now and not ridiculed about what he looks like and does.

[@SenorKingKong]

yeah by usher, lil jon and ludacris

[@YunqDiva09]

it wasn't old when they performed it

[@marirosa850]

everybody stop with this black/white, why does it always have to be about race...black people have come along way, be proud of it, no need to argue, this is getting old...

[@Cordog1111]

The awards show is not racist!!! It happens to be centered on Hip-Hop and R&B music. You might find anyone of any color on it if they happen to sing R&B or rap. You don't see people complaining about the Country Music Awards, which happens to have 99% white people on it.

[@mgamegatun]

holy!Ludacris got an AFro!

[@jamquijak]

Michael Jackson was a man lets gat that straight let him rest in peace!!!!!!!!!

[@mariahbelle9636]

This shit lit lol

[@blacktreemedia]

Mariah Belle ain't it! I loved the old BET Awards!

[@blacktreemedia]

@somuch4peace - The reason for the award show, is because you do not see 95% of these artist on the other award shows as presenters, as performers and on their red carpet. So just because half the world will see Beyonce on every other award show, doesn't mean that their should not be a platform set up to highlight and celebrate artist and entertainers that are significant to the black community at large. Their are award shows for Latino's, Asians, even Aborigines, y are people so shortsighted.

[@pouremilee]

I agree wit 718Zaban ...You are so rite

[@GRANDHEATBEATS]

Of course ! ...

[@blacktreemedia]

Pachacutti - I don't really care what color your tree is, but thank u for watching BlackTree TV

[@mommaseal]

Then, I stand corrected and thank you for the information.. I am just so tired of everyone being so negative towards M.J. because of his skin and his looks. No one but his close family and friends completely know the whole story as to why he looked the way he did and its sad that people have to pick on him for that. They just see what's in the papers and what the media wants them to believe, and it just makes me so mad.

[@TheBirthNerdInc]

I'm saying, right? LOL They performed "Yeah?"

[@054188]

knocks you down -keri hilson

[@drcomwiz]

The show is not exclusively for black people. It's for modern black music, That is, music that black youth typically listen to. Eminem performed there and he's white.

[@Gwenlj]

usher *yawn* yep we anit got no one no more.

[@RedHotChilli88]

lmfao... look at luda's fro

[@threat20]

Its true, Prince is all we have left of that James Brown energy and fire.

[@kiki7275]

Classic

[@nichtsleezy]

THANK YOU!! I can not even listen to modern R&B, it has not real soul. It is money driven, with below average talent, making a sorry bid stardom!. Why can't these people use real talented singers and other musicians? I choose to listen now only to classical, jazz and some folk. There is a real love these people have the these genres of music. Too bad those trailblazers stopped with Whitney, Mariah, Prince and now Alicia Keys.

[@LICK5d]

Does anyone know if I can whtach the whole 09 bet awords on line. Because I missed it the other day.

[@smegov]

AmericanKnowItall1 i am sorry but i think you have got on a no brainer there :( x

[@blacktreemedia]

NijyuShogunateSan - Somebody was doing their homework. The problem comes when people try to use logic without history. Of course if BET was made just for the hell of it, or to exclude white people than it would be racist. But if it was created because the other networks failed to reflect black programming or black music, than it makes a lot of sense.

[@mplsridah]

lol@WET, is that gonna be on cable or local? looooool that is a network i won't watch

[@blacktreemedia]

Tennman - when i respond to someone who is asking "how many white people are on the BET Awards" by asking "how many black people are on the Country Music Awards", that qualifies me as racist? Genius. I get it now, I don't know why I didn't see that before. As far as White Entertainment Channel, what would be the point? If whites represented some minority in this country or on our broadcast television, than a WET would make perfect sense. So does Telemundo, Al Jazeera, Indian Channels, etc..
