Tonight there will be a Special on BET, which is the Black
Entertainment Channel. It is an Award cermony which was scheduled
for tonight to honor those in the Music, Sports, Acting and Other
Industries. This ceremony was scheduled before Michael Jacksons
death and has been purposely revamped to honor him by those
that wished to pay special tribute to him. It will be airing
tonight on the BET Channel, which may vary in the USA depending
on your area. In NYS, where I live it is airing tonight at
8:00PM. There will be all types of musical tributes tonight
that will be geared as a tribute to Michael Jackson. How
do you think you will feel about this? They will be from
some of the top entertainers of all times! Please let us
know what you think the atmosphere will be like.

HI Opal darlin; I don't get those channels on my cable package or i'd be watching it too, I've watched a few other things on him but I'm so sick of them dragging up all the crap about the court cases and stuff again;
Growing up listening to all of his music, and video's I liked those years of him
you know?
The last 10-15 years have just been "weird" of his life and I feel sad for him you know what I mean? His life was just really kinda tragic for one who was so popular and talented;
Yes let us know how it goes will you??

Hi jan! I just finished watching the show. I gave a brief
description under response #5. It was a pretty good show.
His father and his sister Janet was there. There were some
really nice song tributes. Jamie Foxx was the host and did
some incredible tribuutes both speaking and singing. He
did the finale with NeYo, who is one of my favorite performers.
Janet gave a short speech that was heartbreaking and the
Jamie and NeYo sang "Never Can Say Goodbye" and the crowd
and me where brought to tear!

You are lucky enough that you could watch that tribute. I think it is a great Special to watch but here in the Philippines, I don't even know how to catch that. Anyway, Michael Jackson deserves such a tribute. His talent is exceptional and his music will remain unforgettable.

I don't really watch television much, unless it is the news. But, I think that it's a very nice and special thing to do. I think Micheal Jackson really made some huge advances for music.

Heyya Opal! I think it will be a celebration of his accomplishments and defiantly a tribute. I think that there will be people that cry and people that remember all he was to music. If I don't catch the show..I'll try to catch a rerun..I think they will show it again. I have been watching a lot on Michael Jackson lately. I liked him alot when I was younger but I hadn't thought about him in a long time. I do remember what he was to music though. Take care.

Hi Jen, It was done really nicely. It wasn't all about Michael.
There were some incredible performances though. Jamie Foxx
was incredible! He came out wearing a couple of Michael's
outfits which made the crowd laugh! He also sang a few of
his songs! He reall is an amazing singer which people forget
because he is an actor and comedienne too! His tribute at
the end of the show after Janet Jackson spoke was the one
that was really upsetting. Jamie and NeYo (who is my favorite
singer and won the Best Male Performer of the Year Award)
sang "Never Can Say Goodbye" and that left the crowd in tears
and me too! BET is repeating the show Tuesday and 6:30 my
time, so I know that they will be repeating it a few times
if you want to try to catch it! It was a great show! Beyonce
won a few awards and won Best Video for "Single Ladies"!
She also did an unbelieveable performance of one of her songs
that I can't even describe! She is amazing!

Hey Opal. Saw a little bit of it when Janet was on stage. It was heart wrenching. You could feel the love she still and will always have for her brother. I want to watch it again; see the whole thing. Michael Jackson had loyal fans. There are those of us who will never forget him and will always honour what he gave to us. Thanks for posting.

Hi trinee! I think they are repeating it tomorrow at 6:30pm
on BET. I'm not sure if I got that right! I know that they
will probably repeat it a few more times! You really have to
see some of the stuff Jamie Foxx did! He was incredible! He
has an unbelievable singing voice too! My boyfriend has his
CD and it is fantastic and he did a few songs from it! Did
you see the finale with him and NeYo (who is my favorite
performer and who won Best Performer Award) singing Never Can
Say Goodbye! Now that was gut wrenching. That brought tears
to many in the audience and to me too~

Hey Opal26! I don't think I get this station but thank you for telling us about it, anyway. I watched "The Jackson Five: The American Dream" last night. It was good but it was so sad! He was so cute when he was little! He also went through a time when he looked good after he was grown, too. I also saw this movie when it first came out several years ago. Kathy.
