BET AWARDS: How Full is the Cup

With less then 72hrs to completely flip their plans. The unrealistic optimist would expect the perfect MJ Tribute show. The Pessimist would expect more buffoonery and coonery. The realistic expectation was somewhere in the maybe. And that's what it was. Neyo did a great job capturing a fraction of M.J spirit while Tpain, Lil Wayne and Co. And the Un needed Baby Boy re enactment did remind us that this is still BET. But I can live with that.

BET was the guinea pig for award shows. With all the MJ tributes lined up, the the 1st one up fell upon one of the more polarizing networks yet what other station really had more genuine love for M.J then BET? All the other tributes will correct what BET didn't execute as well. Hindsight is 20/20 you know. But we got a chance to show love for one of our own.

Yes, we all have had Mike jokes, myself included ,but when its "game time" how do you present yourself? Are you the wise ass, slicc talker twitterer or do you bring some substance to the table in your words? I say that for anyone that can't take a degree of positivity in the fact that youngest sister Janet shared her thanks and grieved openly with us, then you do better. Don't talk about it be about it. Take the tools you have before you that you use to promote your sexual conquests, boast ya ego, push ya new "hot" mixtape, pretend to be the urban paris hilton or whatever nonsense you clutter the internets with and do something better.

As for me I give a degree of respect to BET. While admitting to some flaws, in a case of giving like this, its many times the thought that counts. I like to think of this cup as 1/2 full.

Tears at this point?I know I had them.......
