The 2007 BET Award show, recently held at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, had some great performances, the usual list of celebrities and a exciting evening for the lucky few who got a seat in the upper balcony. Of course you can watch the telecast on BET as it will be replayed several times. Good thing, as a few of this year’s performers were rewind worthy. Performances by Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, 50 Cent, and a tribute to Gerald Levert, were just a few of the highlights of the night.
I had a chance to attend the Media Day event, on Monday June 25th and managed to talk to a few of the presenters, deejays, and various media reps there. T.I., Robin Thicke, Bun B, Swizz Beats, and Monique were a few of the celebs, who mingled with the press crowd, interviewing with radio personalities that were set up with live remotes in a separate room.
The security was tight and loose at the same time, as I was able to walk freely in the radio press room and literally bump elbows with Slimm Thugg and Mike Jones, in the packed spot. The staff seemed to catch on to the security breech pretty quickly, and soon all press was required to be escorted anywhere we went. It was a small inconvenience, as all the media had to do was sit and wait for the stars to come to them.
