Jamie Foxx
One of the highlights last night at the BET awards show was the Jamie Foxx moonwalk tribute.
Foxx told the BET crowd, “I am going to moonwalk for Michael Jackson.” When he made his way across the stage, the audience went crazy. Even though Michael can never be duplicated, Foxx certainly was a good imitator.
Foxx paid tribute to Jackson by performing a medley of Jackson 5 hits including “ABC” and “The Love You Save” dressed to the nines in a Jackson-inspired leather jacket and white glove.
Foxx told the crowd, “We are here for the greatest. There’s no need to be sad. We want to celebrate this black man - he belongs to us - and we shared him with everybody else.”

I really enjoyed the BET awards and thought that the host was amazing. Tribute to Michael Jackson was truly amazing. I watched it with my mom, sister, and boyfriend and we all really enjoyed it. Thanks for making my night amazing.

Well I for one thought the BET Awards Show was a bust. I think they would have done a better job if they would have waited and did a true tribute. And what the hell was Joe Jackson doing there? His comments to CNN were not only inappropriate…but also self serving. He introduced his lawyer…then brought up his business partner and announced his record company as his sons dead body lays in a morgue. He certainly proved all the rumors to be true…what an asshole! The best performance and the best thing for me was the sexy, outstanding, and talented Maxwell. Now that was a performance! He still got it! And oh by the way…what the hell was Beyonce thinking…with her porn version of Ava Maria (I guess that’s the name of it) whatever it was she shouldn’t have.
Jamie Fox shame on you for announcing your tour date over and over…was this tribute to Michael Jackson or you. And why were you running around like you were on crack. I feel that you are very, very talented but your actions last night were just wrong. Get it together.
Lil Wayne and his crew with all of the profanity and the little tween girls on stage as you talk about your d—k come on people. BET shame on you. You have to know better. You have just earned one less fan.
