The nominations for the 2007 BET Awards were announced yesterday, by R&B singer Robin Thicke and rapper 50 Cent (pictured below):
Who gives a shit about those wack ass BET Awards anyway?
Black-Enabled Tackiness is the new name that deserves its association with this mess, and with the show on a very tight budget, expect there to be sound and camera technicalities as usual. It is one of those shitacular awards ceremonies that nobody really cares about. Winning a BET Award serves just as much relevance as winning a plaque made out of dog shit. And this year is expected to be extra wack unless we have Ciara OR Chris Brown doing their thang on that stage. It would be good if they could get Chris to perform his new track Wall to Wall seeing as though the show will air near around the time his new album "Exclusive" is set to drop.
Last year Chris Brown stole the show with his impressively energetic performance. It was the performance that easily put Chris as the frontrunner when it comes to that category between him and Usher. However, when Beyonce staged her comeback with "Deja Vu" last year, her convulsive performance was little to be desired and left many of us feeling salty in the mouth. Check out the nominations after the jump. So what surprises does this poorly-put together awards show have in store for us this time round?
