2715762, not sure what he didn't nail...

**shrug** Thought it was a solid performance..... I'm pretty sure he would have chosen another song to do besides untitled.....but being away for 12 years and being at the bet awards he was kind of bound to do that song....

Sugar Daddy was funky....and if his album was released it would have gotten more of a reaction from that audience..... that's the problem with performing a new song nobody's heard in front of that type of audience and you've been away for over a decade. I remember people looking board to tears when El Debarge sang that jeniffer huson sounding ballad he did during his comeback performance...nobody had ever heard that shit...


Plus overall...as much as some of these lesson haters want to limit D'Angelo's appeal to females....I'll repeat again....THAT IS NOT HIS CORE AUDIENCE ..... some poster said they heard some broads saying "I can't wait for untitled 2.0" ..... that's not D'Angelo's core audience..... The superjam at Bonnaroo proved that...D'Angelo's core audience is about music...they are about funky music ....and brining it live on stage raw. And that is NOT what the BET awards are about....sure Beyonce was into the performance....but I mean that's your #1 Black female music star and she's mouthing the lyrics to I be's in the trap.....lol... no B you don't be in the trap....Minaj don't be in them shits neither.....females get rapped and killed in the trap you dumb b*tch....lol.

come on man....that crowd at the BET awards are some cartoon characters auditioning for reality shows doing music as a means to that end....

watch how he rocks Essence....people are there for MUSIC.....
