I honestly will only be watching for the Prince award and tribute performances. Shame B.o.B. was bumped to the pre-show, though; I wouldn't have minded seeing him perform at the main show...
P.S.: This will probably be a total trainwreck, as usual...
I Hope Beyonce & Alicia Keys perform Put It In A Love Song . But I don't think Bee's going to be there this year ... But I hope she does come out this year
Alicia Keys, Esperanza Spaulding, Janelle Monae, Patti, and Chaka will be honoring Prince apparently.
Alicia has been dying to do something with prince. I get Chaka, since she and Prince go back. Janelle is somewhat talented/unique, Patti is the original diva, and the other girl, I have no idea.
Such a damn shame they couldn't get Beyonce to perform.
I don't want her to perform. She needs to be exclusive. She's that big.
They better get their **** right, and do the BET awards like they did back in the day, and then give Bey a call. It is a shame that they depend on her to give them their highlight of the night.

He likes Janelle. There's word that he went to one of her concerts. I have no idea who that other women is either.
I hope Chaka does "I Feel For You". I like her version more than his. But for a second, I thought BET would have had Ginuwine and Mariah honoring him.

Her first and last.
