On Saturday night the 2nd Annual BET Honors were held at the infamous Warner Theatre. The Warner is block off Pennsylvania Ave at 13th St, where in just a couple of days will be filled with 2 Million+ people to see history in the making, and watch the parade from the US Capitol to the White House for the swearing in ceremony of Barak Obama.
The BET Honors was being taped for broadcast on Monday, and from where I was, it went off with a hitch, although Stevie Wonder did have to repeat "Superstitious" twice. The performances were great, Stevie, Queen Latifah, Anita Baker, Ne-Yo, Monica, Anthony Hamilton (Go get this guy's CD, what a voice!), Puffy P Diddy Combs, Terrence Howard, Joss "Barefoot" Stone, and surprise guest presenter Whitney Houston...More to follow....Stay tuned
