That was the BET Lifetime Achievement tribute powered by Tubi. I don’t know why Mario, Miguel, Lucky Daye nor Luke James were called in but that shit was criminal. Hell, even Usher’s peers could’ve performed- where was Joe, Tank, Robin Thicke or Brian McKnight? I just really don’t understand…

Where was Tank, Chris Brown, Mario, Eric Bellinger, Vedo, Avery Wilson, Miguel, Tyrese....I'M DEMANDING A RE-DO!

this whole talk about usher approving is CAP LOL, teyana literally said her and victoria had two days of rehearsal lol meaning this tribute was last minute

“No one asked for the ballad version of You Don’t Have To Call” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine BET let’s Chris Brown, Trey Songz & T- Pain do a tribute to Beyoncè 😂😂😂

Tank was seriously in the audience , they couldn’t get him to at least do Superstar ? He would have done a great job , way better than what Marsha gave us .

“ if it was a Beyonce tribute and a bunch of men walked out there the women would be up in arms “ drop the mic 🎤

I think whoever put the tribute together was born after 1994.. truly

Tyrese couldve been apart of the tribute considering Usher put him in his (Tyrese's first) video "My Way". That was Tyrese dancin around that amusement park 😆

Where was Omarion, Lloyd, frank Ocean, SIR , Tank, Joe, Ty dolla sign.....hell they could've brought Robin Thicke ass up there!!!

bet awards really had chidish gambino up there with in flip flops while eric bellinger, vedo, tyrese, tank, and durand in the crowd smh.

USHER deserved better.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="126">2:06</a> “You never got high off mid?” That was a bar Joe 😂🔥

I would've loved to see a better Usher tribute to be honest.

So real of you to mention Lloyd Sammie and mario

Joe was on everyone necks here 😂

But childish already did that version on one of his mixtapes. Killed it on the tape.

It’s crazy Stevie Wonder still aint won yet

Your content is refreshingly authentic, keeps me coming back for more!

My Way, 8701 and Confessions.. three of the greatest R&B/pop albums ever ushers flowers are well overdue

What's missing from r&b is r&b the same with rap music 💯 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="478">7:58</a>

Totally agree Durand, Luke James, Mario, Sammy, Tyrese, Tank, CB, all could and should have done the tribute. Idk why Usher would approve those ladies.

I loved Donald Glovers part. Sn: I HATE when Joe interrupts Mel to tell her that he thinks she is going to take womens side BEFORE she even finishes a sentence and I hate that you have to fight with her to get her real authentic opinion on something

We still watch BET?

All due respect to the women who performed, this is a tribute to one of the greatest, if not the greatest R&B artists, singers, songwriters of all time, USHER. And you have six or seven women and only one male, Childish Gambino performing? BET, y’all couldn’t have gotten Tyrese, Chris Brown, TANK, Ginuwine, other great male singers to pay tribute to USHER???

Love your perspective, it's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness.

Yea they did Usher wrong. Chris Brown should've been 1st choice, Tyrese would've been great too especially him being in the My Way video. Mario, so many great choices smh

Donald glovers performance was not "new" He did that same rendition in a mixtape almost ten years ago. STN MTN

I’m glad y’all didn’t pay attention when Donald Glover dropped his rendition of You Dont Have to Call on his mixtape YEARS AGO

Mario, Sammy, Lloyd, and Chris Brown,

DAMN THEY CUT OFF EMMANY LET THAT MAN TALK PLEASE

I stand on this, Jacob Latimore could’ve / should’ve DEFINITELY been on that stage. He’s soooo underrated but he can sing and dance! He would’ve did the damn thang! Luke James too!!!!

It might be no other platform that would give Usher his flowers for it to be like that

The mid segment😂😂😂😂

marsha ambrosa sounded horrific

Ashanti, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Ciara, Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey Janet Jackson would Been cool.. Chris Brown, jemih for Usher tributes would been great too . ❤

Childish made sense because he had a version on Camp I think. Why are you hating on the performers. Having an all girls was very refreshing

Tyrese was right there in the audience coulda sang something...CB, Durand Bernard, Genuine, D'Angelou, Maxwell, Tevin Campbell...somebody

"You never got high off the mid" is wild

This is an interesting perspective because I honestly think the BET awards dropped the ball using this awards show as a platform to discuss what’s really going on in the government

When Diddy got that award.. it was OVA!!

As soon as the importance of fatherhood in a child’s life was mentioned that mic started having issues 🤣🤣🤣.

The man in the tan hat is a sassy Susan like damn

Donald did that on his mixtape. Probably why he performed it

I dig Mel she balances out jbp👑 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="87">1:27</a>

I'm not even sure if it's the fact that the flipped it to having the girls do the tribute, the fact that almost none of them vocally delivered Usher-level excellence in terms of vocal or dance performance. or the fact that the tribute was done by mid artistes that I'm mad at.

The BET awards is for young people. They not gonna fill 30 minutes of the show with older singers these kids don't really know. They are trying to pack as many new hot acts into the show as possible. It's about ratings and money. You can't be mad at that. That's what keeps the show on the air.

I literally must be the only person who did not mind the tribute. I would’ve liked to see more men up there, but I think each female artist that got up there did they thang.

The Donald Gover joint was dope lol

Mel cooked only when she brought up the DNC <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="470">7:50</a> and she needs an entire segment because that’s truly powerful topic that’s just got glossed over 🤧🤧😮‍💨

They should have had October London, look him up!

Did we forget that Usher made a song called "Trading Places"? They could've signalled us with a few chords from that. They mimicked Usher's Vegas vibes. Cool. However, BET screwed up royally. Some of the tribute performers should not have been there. There are only 3 parts that I've repeatedly rewatched afterwards. Childish Gambino (until he starts giving "This Is America" vibes towards the end of his performance) he kills a good high note❤, he started to lose me when the notes weren't in his range. You allow it on a Childish project because, sonically, he'll make up for it somehow. Here, during tribute, BET left us deprived, especially with him as the only Male vocalist of the Tribute... Keke (Honorable Mention), she had me going back in the deep recesses of my mind when Usher used to dance out of his shoes & flash his drawers🤣. Chloe Bailey KILLED IT❣️ She did what is suggested when you sing someone else's song, she made it her own. Best performance of the Tribute. I didn't like the Camera work on her performance, though. There were alot of chopped up tight shots, that should've been wide to show all that was going on on stage. Teyana Taylor's vocals were Chef's Kiss. 👩🏾‍🍳💋She hit that "What y'all know about a Supermodel?" so well, that I forgot Usher wasn't singing, just that fast. It was delightful to hear in a sea of off-key vocals. Her performance with Victoria Monet was provocative. (It gets the People going) 😂 Marsha Ambrosius gets a pass for her vocals, she probably didn't have time to rest her voice. We know that she goes off vocally. With that said, I don't appreciate the chop job that was done on Superstar. But Again, she gets a pass.🫠 Tinashe, why? The only good part of her latest song is the part that the YT Guy with the Glasses dances to on TikTok. I didn't appreciate her trying to slip a reference to that into this Tribute.🙄 Coco Jones deserves an apology from Tyrese. "Nobody was coming to see you, Otis." I thought that it was cute that she went to Usher's Wife before him. Usher's reaction was like: "Hold On, is this not about Me?"😂 Usher's Mom appreciated Coco's move too, watch her face. Coco was visibly nervous, her vocals were shaky. Latto, Why? She could've done Usher's Rap from "Seduction". She came out to "Yeah!"...? And did Ludacris' part?! Then no one was doing the actually dance steps shouted out in "Yeah!"😢 They could've asked Chris Brown to perform on his concert stage and telecast it to BET the way Award shows used to do Michael Jackson back in the day. The tech is better nowadays and would've been a fire inclusion. There were so many Men that could've come together to even tag team one song. Missed opportunity to resolidfy BET as an actual entertainment channel and win back lost fans of the channel. It was sub-Mid.

Sammie and Lloyd would’ve killed it. Durand… breezy come on

This whole clip was a paaauuusssee!!!…AF moment

Yooooooo usher didn't want to see dudes singing his shit. Period . Childish g was a fill in

Jason Derulo would have been good for the tribute, he's got the voice and the moves

They don’t even know Donald Glover had that you don’t have to call cover on a mixtape back on the day. That’s not new

Tinashe doing nice and slow??? Naaah my g I’m not going! 😂

Men would never be allowed to sing Beyoncé tribute

Every now and then you get them surprise mids 🔥

I def watched for the usher tribute myself

I think the ladies did a good job with tribute

FACTS!!!!

I think it had more to do with the CALIBER of females they had up there. NORMANI, DESTINYS CHILD, TLC, CIARA, H.E.R, MYA, MUNI LONG, JAZMINE SULLIVAN, DOJA CAT, JOJO, BRANDY, MONICA would've been great options. Only ones if keep are Teyana amd Victoria.

They needed to let mel cook.. at the end of the day i can totally see why women who usher usually cater to actually had them perform for him ( on some player shit) but they didnt do it as well as they should have but it was decent

Super disappointed in that usher tribute, I hope they run it back

Wasn’t the tribute requested by Usher to have a all female tribute though

Coco was phenomenal

nah they are wrong the "you don't have to call" remix by CG was fire when it came out like 12 years ago and is still fire to this day.

They should have let R.kelly out for Work release one night only 😂😂

Man that set was good aside of marsha. And the fellas yall are naming don't dance like that outside of Chris brown. Only fellas I would have singing is Maxwell, Eric benét, tone stith, Daley and who else?

Somebody tell my mans with the “ dads are cool hat “ to put some damn lotion on 😂😂 all ashy and sh*t on my 4K screen 😂😂😂

It should have been a mixture of performers. The only female performers that should have been part of this tribute are : _ Chole _Victoria Monet _Teyona Taylor The male performers who should have been part of this tribute are : _Jason Derulo: he can dance and should have been picked for U don't have to call _ Mario is a gifted vocalist who should have sang Superstar _ Tyrese could have been handpicked for There goes my baby. _ Bryston Tiller could have Nice and Slow _ Anybody else, BUT Latto could have wrapped it up with Yeah The tribute should have been much better 😒🙄

I didn't watch. Seems I didn't miss much

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="272">4:32</a> agreed.

If they did a Beyoncé tribute and they had lil nas x, Tyler the creator, Mario Judah, and damn PARTYNEXTDOOR on the stage the women would riot. They always tryna push this agenda bs.

I would have loved to see Chris Brown, Mario, Omarion, Lloyd, Lucky Daye, Luke James & Brent Faiyaz do the tribute. I feel like Chris Brown would have done great doing U Remind Me and Omarion could’ve done U don’t have to call.

Did no one ever think that Usher didn't want any dudes to do his tribute?! The issue was TIMING, NOT the performers. There just wasn't ENOUGH TIME. PERIOD. This had ABSOULTELY NOTHING to do with the WOMEN.

I like Mel lol

Donald Glover sounded good 👍🏿

is it for spreading eagle for Diddy?

October London

No they not this was something he did on his stone mountain mixtape

Mid stopped working after 16 y/o 😂

I think usher approved of the idea bc he was trying to give those girls a time to shine. Also BET did seem like they were pandering by having these girls with low sales perform.

Call Ice JJ Fish

Yo, Mario is HIM

It just wasn’t hitting, they should have had a legend up there and people on his level talent wise atleast. None of them ladies can barely make a hit record with all the followers and exposure they get.

I honestly looked at the tribute as the women trying to give a tribute to Usher. I mean he always sings for women and tool women so I feel that was a perfect concept

"Don't F@#$ up my Usher tribute with your BS." 100% FACTS!

Since when did usher start making music for men?

Mel doesn't know what she's talking about. Usher has said that we need to revive R&B...she's wrong

Honestly maybe just me but I dont think usher been around long enough to get a lifetime achievement....he will deserve one but not yet he still going...I compare it to when someone like the isley brothers got there's they deserved it....I know the isley's and they came from my grandma generation....same thing Michael and James I grew up hearing they music so much It felt like they were modern artist.... I remember when "my way" came out and I'm in my early 30s usher should be getting his lifetime when I'm like 50 something...

Would Usher have wanted to be serenaded by a bunch of male acts though?

It's times like this where I feel bad for Melyssa. They are all so into they feels on what THEY imagined it should've been vs. What the artist chose. Usher didn't want men OUTSINGING him on his own tracks. If they did outsing him, people will replay they cover to it vs. Ushers. So let the women do it. Simple.

Hell no to Jacquees

Luke james was at the awards

Dvsn would’ve given a great performance and tribute to Usher

Fucking let her speak

BET been garbage since the 2010s in my perspective
