The 2009 BET Awards were bittersweet event as artists were recognized for their work as they mourned the loss of possibly the best artist in African-American history, Michael Jackson. Michael, who likely inspired everyone in the room, passed away this week at the age of 50. In memory of him, Beyoncé Knowles sang “Ave Maria” and “Angel.” Bey has worn the costumes that she wore on stage tonight throughout every show of her “I Am…” Tour.
As can be expected, Bey sounded great. You could definitely here some of the emotion she had towards the end of the song. I can”t imagine singing a song in dedication to Michael Jackson. I think that’d be hard for most people who appreciate him. Here is the video:
I would like to have Beounce sing those songs again. She is the greatest and we love Michael Jackson.
I just did not like it…I’m sorry. I saw one performance and that was enough.
I like her showgirl style of performing & wanted to see her ‘Put a Ring on it’ but this heffa came out howling.
Of course it was a somber night so we couldn’t have Beyonce breakin it down all over the stage.
I like ‘Ave Maria’. I like classical music and opera — but not the way SHE sings it.
…and that’s all I’ll say about that.
