Last night in Los
Angeles the BET Awards featured a show stealing
Prince, surprise appearances by Eminem and Janet Jackson
Janet Jackson
made a surprise visit to present an award, almost even more surprised when the
strap of her dress slid down her shoulder. No, no boob this time. Eminem popped up (literally), to close
out Busta Rhymes’ star studded
performance of Touch It.
But it was Prince
stealing the show as he performed with Stevie
Wonder and Chaka Khan during Chaka’s musical tribute for her
Lifetime Achievement Award. The legendary trio performed I Feel For You, which Prince
originally wrote for Chaka. The
diminutive Prince later took the stage again to bring the house down performing
pieces from his latest album 3121.
