- Tyrese Gibson and Joan Pendergrass

The Tenth Anniversary BET Awards was televised live from the historic Shrine Auditorium on June 27, 2010 and hosted by Queen Latifah. Kanye West opened the festivities atop a rock formation performing the song “Power.” Prince received the Lifetime Achievement Award and John Legend received the Humanitarian Award. Stevie Wonder honored Prince via video remote coupled with live performances from Janelle Monae, Esperanza Spalding, Alicia Keys, and Patti LaBelle. Ms Patti kicked off her shoe and Prince appropriately caught it during her performance. Chaka Khan also honored Prince. This year, in addition to honoring entertainment and sports figures, special recognition was directed to educator Geoffrey Canada. Mr Canada is president and CEO for Harlem Children’s Zone providing educational, social, and medical services for residents in Harlem NY. His Promise Academy Charter school provides an outstanding education with the guarantee that all graduates will attend college.
Memorable performances during the evening included Chris Brown performing a medley of Michael Jackson songs in tribute. It seems as if Chris channeled the spirit of Michael as he moon-walked performing “Billie Jean,” danced in white light silhouette to Smooth Criminal, and performed his tear-drenched performance of “Man in the Mirror.” It was wonderful to see Monica pay homage to Deniece Williams whose song “Silly” Monica sampled for her new hit “Everything To Me.” El DeBarge’s medley had folks standing and dancing in adoration. The legendary Lena Horne’s picture was shown during the “In Memoriam” segment with Todd Bridges acknowledging the passing of his Diff’rent Strokes “brother” Gary Coleman. Tyrese honored the memory of Teddy Pendergrass in song.
Double winners for the evening were Alicia Keys – Best Female R&B Artist and Best Collaboration with Jay-Z “Empire State of Mind” and Nicki Minaj – Best Female Hip Hop Artist and Best New Artist. Additional winners were: Best Male R&B Artist: Trey Songz – Best Gospel: Marvin Sapp- Best Male Hip Hop Artist: Drake –Video of the Year: Beyonce featuring Lady Gaga “Video Phone” – Video Director of the Year: Hype Williams – Best Actress: Mo’Nique – Best Actor: Idris Elba – YoungStars Award: Keke Palmer – Best Movie: Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire – Subway Sportwoman of the Year: Serena Williams – Subway Sportman of the Year: LeBron James – Centric Award: Monica – Best International Act: Dizzee Rascal (UK) – Viewers’ Choice Award: Rihanna featuring Young Jeezy “Hard” – Fandemonium Award: Chris Brown.

i have not found out A particular person top notch retort in favor for obama
Virtually all I can think about is smoking. I really don’t need to take a drag and if someone offered me one right now, I would not accept. I am in a fairly poor mental state and have been having trouble getting to sleep but I realize I will end up being resilient and strong. The electronic cigarette may make it easier in the end.
While seeking to get off cancer sticks, I heard about the electric cigarette. The e cig wotks on a nicotine liquid that carries just nicotine. Absolutely no cancerous substances all that. They have actually improved my life. Quitting breathing toxic substances feels outstanding to me!
I haven’t had a cigarette in over a year. The most horrible part regarding kicking the habit is the very first week. Happily this these effects went away quickly and stuff improved every day because of the e-cig. You shouldn’t stop. Just persevere and you are going to be successful permanently.
hey there, this might be little offtopic, but i am hosting my site on hostgator and they will suspend my hosting in 4days, so i would like to ask you which hosting do you use or recommend?
Just about all I can think about is cancer sticks. I really don’t plan to take a hit and if perhaps someone offered me a draw this minute, I will definetly refuse. I am in a pretty crappy mood and have had trouble staying asleep but yet I do know I have got to be resilient. The e-cigs may make it easier in the long run.
Just about all that is on my mind is smokes. I know i don’t plan to take a drag and if anyone offered one right now, I’d definetly refuse. I feel I’m in a fairly poor mental state and have been having trouble going to sleep but yet I’m sure I must end up tough. The electronic cigarette review may also be helpful in the long run.
Virtually all I can think about is cigs. I don’t like to light up and if perhaps anyone offered a draw this minute, I’d totally refuse. I feel I’m in a very crappy state of mind and have been having trouble falling asleep but I understand I ought to end up strong. The e-cigarette may make it easier in the long run.
Just about all I can think about is smoking cigarettes. I really don’t wish to smoke and if perhaps someone offered a smoke today, I will definetly refuse. I am in a very lousy mental state and have had trouble resting yet I recognize I need to end up being resilient and strong. The electric cigarettes may make it easier in the end.
Let’s pray for Marvin and Malinda. She passed to early. My condolences to the family.

While looking to kick the habit, I stumbled on the e-cigarette. The e-cig uses a nicotine material which has simply nicotine. Basically no poisons at all. They already have virtually changed my life. No more breathing cancerous substances feels really great to me!
I started tobacco use while I was just a kid. It appears to be the most detrimental mistake I’ve made. Now 30 years down the road and I have bronchitis. While attempting to stop smoking cigarettes, I found the e-cigs and will see if it helps. With any luck, it’ll help me with this particular depressing addiction.
I smoked cigarettes for a very long time and giving up smoking ended up being extremely difficult. I tested out most of the stop smoking gadgets and yet not one thing did the trick. Then I came across the electronic cigarette. The electric cigarette utilizes a nicotine compound that is made of nothing but nicotine. No toxic chemicals in the least. They have already fortunetly changed my life.
