How much better would we be than MTV during its origin, if the channel didn’t support someone simply based on their “race?” LAME! I don’t listen to his music but he’s pretty popular at the time and he’s a new artists…so, that should fit the bill no?
Move along people, nothing to see here. Be more concerned on the music, not the person.
Saying someone shouldn’t be able to do something because of their race? This is racism.
what does BET stand for??…go figure
I think some of you people are missing the point. Benzino predicted this about 8 years ago and he was right with his predictions. Black music is dying a painful death and we are just accepting this bullshit. The major record labels put this kid in position along with Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, etc to be the big stars of the moment. BET is owned by Viacom (white people) and it’s getting to the point where there won’t be any new black artists (Drake?) being released in the next few years. I mean Jay-Z, Beyonce and Alicia Keys are all 10+ years in the game…wake up people! They even got Usher to back this kid! Are you fools blind to whets going on in your faces? Here’s a question: would BET have nominated this kid even 2 years ago when Jennifer Hudson won?
@ Y
So white people can’t entertain black people?
lol, wtf are you retards above me on about ^^
do you not have a sense of humour? jheeze, keyboard thugs these days..
There’s not much humor here because there are posts throughout the web not related to a tonight show asking why BET would permit his entry into a category. Responses on this particular post, if similar to mine, are in relation to the overall questioning of his entrance, not the clip by Jimmy. Nonetheless, if MTV had an award show where none of the entrants were Black, people would be up in arms. Interesting double standard. It shouldn’t matter what he sings about, the title is “Best New Artist,” not “Best New Artist that must sing traditional Hip-Hop/R&B.” People were up in arms when Justin Timberlake appeared years ago on the channel. I don’t watch BET nor care for any of its award shows.
I dont hink its his race because people dont say anything about Robin Thicke or Justin Timberlake. Its because he is white and makes teeny bobber music and fanbase is little white girls. I think he deserved it tho cuz he is popular enough with the young kids that watch BET nowadays.
Bieber is corny!!!
man that was funny it was just humor lol gotta love jimmy kimmel
Love that he is gonna be on stupid BET. It is honestly one one the worst channels in existence. Black or white, this cannot be denied. It is pure, concentrated, crap…
You are correct my friend
im going to start a channel called NBA (no blacks allowed) just all white music
Didn’t they incorporate that concept in some television shows… “Friends”?
A lot of shows and movies have been using that concept for years
BET must be VERY hungry for ratings to nominate this kid, and to me it’s not about his skin color, he’s NOT TALENTED!
did yall notice the pornstar De Collector
What’s the big fucking deal? The BET awards are bullshit from beginning to end and don’t mean anything anyway. It’s not like if this kid wins he’ll be defeating some super talented black kid. This show will be filled with nominations of untalented bafoons, amateur acts, and bullshit categories. So what if one happens to be a white pop artist this year.
some of those people were soo funny!!
this shit was funny, some of ya’ll stay getting mad over nothing
word.
He sings pop-R&B…why should he not get nominated for this award? I agree with biskits.
BET is lame anyway. I really don’t care. Anyone can be nominated for this award, whether it is a white pop/R&B singer, or a chinese rapper….It doesn’t matter. What matters is the music. And besides…he’s a new artist, nominated for the Best New Artist category…hmm…I think I see a connection.
