Esperanza Spalding continued with her bass singing "If I was you boyfriend".

Next Performer was Usher doing " there goes my baby" standing on a pillar surrounded by smoke giving the allusion that he is coming from the the sky and later sliding down a lit up ramp. His vocals were okay most of the beginning was recording the ending could have been much better.

Later she sings Unthinkable.

B.O.B performs "Airplanes" and substitutes Hayley Willaims with Keshia Cole and brings Eminem in, I personally loved the performance besides the mishaps, but didn't appreciate Keyshia Cole's screaming. the performance turned into Eminem performing "Not Afraid". photo.jhtml.jpg

Over All The BET Awards was Okay I would give it 4 stars mainly because of El Debarge,Chris Brown's Tribute Performance and Music Matters but BET really needs to figure out what kind of message they want to give to their viewers, music quality wise.

Happy Birthday Tupac!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confiding,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares about why.

He would of been 39 today rest in peace
