2009 BET Awards Making History in the wake of Michael Jackson's Death

This years BET Awards turned out to be a history making event. Thursday June 25, 2009 we walked out of meetings, turned on blackberries, were driving in our car, or interrupted by a NEWS FLASH. Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead in an hour of arriving at UCLA Medical Center. Everyone around the world wanted to stop what they were doing and rush to the hospital.

Daily slashing and bashing in the streets of Iran, even that violence came to a halt for a second when they heard Michael Jackson had died. Michael's last interview was with Essence and he was scheduled to go on a 50 concert Tour starting in London in July. Now his entire life and death is a MYSTERY...!

Back to the BET Awards. They were very fortunate enough to be the first to give tribute and honor to Michael Jackson after his Final Curtain Call...! From the beginning to end it was Hot, you have to be from or love the west coast to understand. Baby Boy, New Edition and Bobby Brown, Tevin Campbell and Maxwell wrapping it up with all the ladies weak in the knees, I had no complaints.


Hate is very contageous. If you are optomistic and do not cast judgement regardless of what your views are then you have been vaccinated. There was some slack from viewers for the rushed show with people lined up for miles trying to get in and get a glimpse of the action. The media antics were even more rediculous. You should have seen the calls and rants from people wanting to buy, trade and sell credentials. All I can say is WOW, I can't believe they are still doing that. Following Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo and Google it's all relative. You either love or hate and it shows in their reviews. If you don't believe me just watch and read the news instead of videos and listening to ipods and texting all day.
