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.

Why do this content jogs my memory of some other identical one which I read somewhere else?
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Thanks for the excellent post. I loved reading it!
I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
i love your sites design, did you design it by yourself? or where did you get it from? thanks in advance. // Gabriel Lindgren from Sweden
Excellent post this will help me.
Thanks for spreading the word about this.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Great article, thanks. I signed to your blog rss feed.
