Did anyone watch the Billboard Awards last night? I didn't watch the broadcast because I had plans and didn't care to sit through another awards show of screaming/singing and rapping. However, I did go on Youtube to see the tributes to Whitney and Donna. I liked the tribute to Whitney because you could tell it was all about love and respect. Seeing Bobbi Kristina made me cry.
Donna Summer's tribute was disrespectful, in my opinion. Natsha Beddingfield came on and performed "Last Dance". It lasted for barely a minute and they cut it off for a commercial break. I understand that they had to plan her tribute at the last minute and fit it into a live show with time constraints, but they would have been better off doing a touching video montage rather than a performance cut off after a minute. It came off as a half-ass attempt and was disrespectful to someone who was so talented and paved the way for so many.
