Chris Brown BET Award Snafu Was ‘Human Error’

BET exec Stephen Hill takes full responsibility for Drake and Rihanna mistakenly being announced as Viewer’s Choice. By Rob Markman Chris Brown poses backstage at the BET Awards on Sunday Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images Sunday night’s 2011 BET Awards Show was filled with amazing live performances, heartfelt acceptance speeches and that one strange moment when a trophy was mistakenly handed out to the wrong artist. When “106 & Park” hosts Terrance and Rocsi brought contest winner Tiffany Greene on stage to announce the Viewer’s Choice Award, Greene, like all the other presenters of the night, read the winner from a tablet PC, instead of doing the traditional envelope-opening. At first, she called out Chris Brown as the victor , but then she backtracked and gave the trophy to Drake for his collaboration with Rihanna, “What’s My Name.” “Well, this awkward,” said Drake to start his acceptance speech, after his and Rihanna’s name appeared on the video screen. But then it turned out that the intended recipient was Chris Brown after all, and as the show neared its end, BET cleared up the confusion and brought Breezy out to accept the award. An embarrassed Green took to Twitter and said, “Bawling backstage. They totally f—ed me up.” In a classy move, BET President of Music Programming and Specials Stephen Hill took full responsibility for the snafu. “That BET Awards Viewer’s Choice mix-up was due to human error,” he said in a tweet . “And I was the human that made that error. I apologize to ALL affected.” It was just a single blemish on an otherwise event-filled show which featured performances from Chris Brown, Lil Wayne , Mary J. Bilge, Alicia Keys and Beyonc

Creator Of Black Music Month Speaks On Getting Jimmy Carter To Hold First BMM Event

Originally posted here:

Kenny Gamble and Ed Wright created Black Music Month! Gamble credits his inspiration for starting it to the evolution of the NATRA (National Association of Television & Radio Announcers). “At one of its annual conventions, there were discussions on how it could evolve into something different, as NATRA had fallen on some hard economic times. It was time for something new and more inclusive of other industry professionals in the business,” he recalls. As for getting Jimmy Carter to hold the first Black Music event, read on… W illiams: How did the BMA get President Jimmy Carter to hold the first Black Music Month event, June 7, 1979, at the White House? Gamble: We had a lot of wonderful people involved. We had noticed that the CMA had been to the White House several times, so we were like, “Why can’t we go?” I called Clarence Avant… he knows everybody. He called Joe Smith and others. Plenty of calls were made. From my point of view, Clarence is the one who made it all happen. Andre Crouch and Chuck Berry performed and a lot of people were there that day. It was a great celebration and uplifting moment for African-American music people. For so long, Black folks had been pushed into a hole, like we didn’t count. The BMA made a difference by working together. It was a great moment and beautiful day that I won’t forget.
