2009 tribute to Michael Jackson
After the death of Michael Jackson, BET re-organized most of the 2009 BET Awards ceremony to commemorate the artist's life. Host Jamie Foxx said, "We want to celebrate this black man. He belongs to us and we shared him with everybody else." The show was revised within three days of its airing on June 28, 2009, with several artists changing their original planned routine to sing many of Michael Jackson's songs, including songs he sang as a member of The Jackson 5 as well as songs in his solo career.[1] His father, Joseph Jackson, and former confidant, Reverend Al Sharpton were present as audience members throughout the show. Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson's sister made an appearance at the finale of the show, and spoke briefly on behalf of the Jackson family. The show itself set an all-time ratings high with a 5.8 rating (over its previous high of a 3.7 rating) and overall saw a 61 percent increase over its 2008 broadcast.[2]
These were the tributes to the King of Pop throughout the show such as: New Edition gave tribute to The Jackson 5 by singing a mixure of "I Want You Back", "ABC", & "The Love You Save" host Jamie Foxx danced to "Beat It" and moonwalked across the stage, Ne-Yo sang Jackson's "Lady in My Life," Ciara performed Jackson's "Heal the World", Keri Hilson gave tribute by adding a few of his moves in her dance routine, and Beyoncé singing a part of Sarah McLachlan's song "Angel", which was in memory of Jackson. Also, when she won the award for Best Female Artist, she dedicated it to Jackson, who she called her hero. Marlon Wayans thanked said "If there were no Jacksons, there would be no Wayans" Then he thanked Joe Jackson. When Lil Wayne won Best Male Hip Hop Artist, he said ' No one in this room would be here without Michael Jackson. LeBron James thanked Michael Jackson saying "he did so much for basketball". Keke Palmer sang a snippet of "Who's Lovin' You". Jamie Foxx took a part from Blame It On The Boogie & put it apart of his performance. Alicia Keys thanked Michael Jackson for everything he has done. During his performance, Drake said "In memory of the King of Pop, lets have some fun yall." Maxwell sang Pretty Wings with a heavenly theme. He also told Michael Jackson's spirit to fly away.
Janet Jackson paid tribute to her brother by giving a short, tearful speech to the audience at the awards, she said: "To you Michael is an icon. To us Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of the love, thank you for all of the support. We miss him so much. Thank you."
Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx ended the ceremony performing the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There".
It was announced on Tuesday, May 18, that Queen Latifah would host the tenth-anniversary awards.[citation needed] Kanye West was the show's opening act. Two new categories were added to the list of categories, "Best Movie" and the "YoungStars Award". Eminem made his much anticipated comeback performance. The ceremony aired live on Sunday, June 27 at 8:00pm/7:00ct. Selena Gomez became the first Hispanic to be nominated for an award.[3] Prince received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Justin Bieber became the youngest person to be nominated for Best New Artist and the fourth Caucasian ever to be nominated for a BET award (the first being Eminem in 2001, the second being Justin Timberlake in 2003, and the third being Robin Thicke in 2007). The ceremony was live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.
Chris Brown gave an energized tribute to his idol Michael Jackson. He became emotional as he attempted to perform "Man in the Mirror". Rapper Nicki Minaj was the big winner taking home 3 Awards; Minaj also stirred up online controversy. It was speculated that Minaj was lip synching. She later cleared things up via her Twitter account saying: "U could hear me in the auditorium but apparently not in TV land." she went on to sarcastically thank the sound man.[4]
