Aside from the performances I wanted to blog about a few highlights I felt were worth mentioning.

John Legend receiving the Humanitarian Award was a high light for me, good for him! Now stop with all these hairline jokes! J ain’t having that!
John Legend on the hairline jokes:
“And to the haters, I’m still smarter, more talented, more successful and better looking than u. So fall back. Sorry y’all. Couldn’t believe my hairline was a trending topic. Get a life!”
Nicki Minaj‘s speech was a highlight for me as well, you heard that Lil’ Kim? Nicki said:
“Thank you to Queen Latifah, because you know what, earlier we were rehearsing and she just gave me so much positive energy and I think it’s so important right now for positive energy among women, because I’m fighting for women. This is not for me, this is for all of us, so thank you to all the female rappers that paved the way for me.”
These two are so sexy, are they dating? If so, I’m late… if not, whoever they are dating needs to be replaced :p. Nia Long is so beautiful, I’m always in awe of her.
Alicia Keys on that piano was more of a pregnancy scare than a highlight. Ha :p
Drake winning Best Male Hip Hop Artist over everyone who was nominated (including Jay-Z) was a highlight. Not as a “ha ha” but because that’s an amazing accomplishment from someone who just dropped their first album a month ago.
Keyshia Cole‘s appearance was a definite highlight, I missed her! Her and her future hubby looked so cute! I’m happy for them

Overall, the BET Awards didn’t let me down (as they do previous years), this show restored any faith I have in their awards. Everyone did great! What’s in store for next year? Maybe I’ll be there, who knows :p.
