Award shows are a lot like baseball games, you've got to wait twenty minutes for every five minutes of entertaining action, they're much more enjoyable if you're drinking heavily and you spend the entire time secretly hoping a fight will break out, and the 2010 BET Awards were no different. Lucky for you, you have me. Below you'll find everything you need to see from this year's BET Awards, from Kanye's volcanic "Power" to Chris Brown's Michael Jackson tribute and everything in between, without any of the awkward presentations and terrible jokes below.

Watching the All I Do Is Win remix performed live, it is great to see which artists can flow live very well (Ludacris and Busta even though I am pretty sure at the beginning he was just blabering) and those who weren't using live vocals (Diddy and Nicki). Not sure why NM wasn't performing live but there is no surprise with Diddy. And I'll be damned if Luda isn't of the best live performers on this planet.

Review: Yeezy~Great as usual. can't wait for the new album. just dont like the ego overload in the performance
Breezy~The best part of the whole show. loved the mj tribute and the classic billie jean dance.
Drizzy~pretty good. one of the better performances of the night.
BoB/Kcole/Em~ While Em lip-synced,BoB played amazing piano and Keyshia Cole did a great job on the chorus.
Luda and others~couldnt hear that good must have been the mic's but they ended off the show pretty good.
TI~Real good performance wise. I would like to see him do that again
Alicia Keys~good. i think she took most of the awards she was nominated for.
Usher~on the lipsync train with eminem but still a performance worth watch.
Trey~found him to be very odd in the way he delivered the performance.
~~~~~Pretty good show overall.

SmokinAces	Usher did not lips sync btw. He had a backing track for some of the vocals. And I actually dug Trey's performance and didn't like the ending. Seemed anti climatic after everything else. Should've closed with the prince tribute or ended on an energetic note with Diddy- Dirty Money doing hello good morning

matza	omg, i was almost rolling on the floor laughing when busta came on stage and hit his first lines XD i was actually digging trey's performance since "yo side of the bed" sounds like a 21st century version of "purple rain".

enigmAtic And ecstAtic (joshL)	@jixifox-hey i had to check out the new Entourage as well. performances overall were pretty good. Chris Brown tore it up until Man In The Mirror. also, i thought Diddys crew was pretty good even tho his vocals werent live.

Nathan S.	On a side note, I feel like Brown's tears were forced, but I don't really mind. He's the only one out there right now who can even attempt to touch MJ's dancing, and the tears were entertaining. Like MJ knew, it's all entertainment.

You might be able to force tears. But CB sounded like his mother whipped him and then told him to go sing Man In The Mirror. If he was acting, I can't wait to see how he is in Takers. Nigga might get an Oscar.

And personally, I feel the tears were not entertaining but heartfelt. CB was went through a lot and did not get to tribute MJ last year. So you put all those together and you get the emotional performance we saw. Plus, the nigga sang Man In The Mirror. I've seen people cry hearing that song before Mike had passed. It's a very powerful song and for Chris, maybe that much more.
