Comeback Night at the BET Awards
It was comeback night at the BET Awards.
Kanye West opened Sunday’s show in his first TV appearance since dissing Taylor Swift at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards. T.I. made a triumphant return to TV for his first performance since being released from prison in December. And 1980s hitmaker El DeBarge blazed back onto the stage to play old hits and the title track from his first new album in 16 years.
But most unexpected was Chris Brown, who offered an emotional tribute to Michael Jackson. Brown has had many struggles since his unfortunate domestic dispute with Rihanna some time ago, but last night he proved he is still talent and also very humble.
Host Queen Latifah keep things moving, and Prince was honored with a star-studded performance of his hits, as well as John Legend’s humanitarian efforts were rewarded. The show was one of BET’s finest in many recent years.
