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.
