Who Really Rocked The Mic?

Last night, I watched the BET Awards and I have to say that they did not suck. While they didn't suck and were good except for the akward silence and lack of action during the first 30-45 seconds of his performance, I have to get to THE most important point of this post and that is phenomenal Kelly Rowland. Somebody, somewhere is saying to themselves "Damn, why in the hell did we keep her in the back so long?" Now I loved Destiny's Child as a group, love Beyonce as an artist and perfomer and can't take away any of her accomplishments but, I feel that there's always been something a bit fishy about why no one else in the group has had the same breakout success.

According to their old vocal coach, Kelly had the strongest voice in the group which says alot. What I've noticed through the years is when Kelly has a hot single and the album is about to drop, there's a major Beyonce single or album that drops at the same time to completely kill the steam that Kelly has going. Now I'm not implicating B in some type of sabotage plot, but somebody at Columbia and elswhere definately missed the boat on having two solo superstars on the roster. That is the epitomy of bad decision making. On the bright side, her performance was absolutely the sexiest thing that I've since.......coincidentally Beyonce's "Video Phone". Beyond my 3 minute lust fest, she just sang her ass off. It was absolutely a performance that will be remembered and will show the type of complete performer that she is and has been.

The second most notable performance for me was the second half of Rick Ross' performance featuring Ace Hood and Lil' Wayne. Ace Hood is a guy that I did not care much for when he first came out. I was unsure about how he got on Def Jam, the name brand of Hip Hop. Not many people change my mind, but this cat did it. "Hustle Hard" is simply hard as hell.

While the aware show was cool, I think that I'm more interested in Styles P's new song featuring Jadakiss called "It's Okay". They pulled a dynamic duo routine that other than Royce Da 5-9 and Emenim is unseen or unheard of in Hip Hop. The timing is seamless and flawless. Of course I've got the video below.
