Trey Songz started off Prince’s BET Lifetime Achievement Award Tribute with his song “Yo Side Of The Bed” with a verse from “Purple Rain”. The stage was bathed with purple backlights and played clips from Songz’s music video which featured songstress Kerri Hilson. Songz’s Tribute was slow, sultry, and heart felt.
Alicia Keyes on the other hand was a different story. The 29 year old singer (who is expecting with fiancé Swizz Beatz) carried out an unforgettable performance. Singing the song Adore, she gave us a sexy and never before seen Alicia Keyes. Once the Christian Louboutin shoes came off, Keyes ended up on top of her custom made piano, pregnant and all!
Janelle Monae gave a high energy performance singing “Let‘s Go Crazy”. Doing her signature dance, Monae truly wowed the crowd. Esparanza Spalding gave a low, cool, and jazzy performance.
The belle of the ball Patti Labelle was the reining Queen of the Tribute Performances. Belting out “Purple Rain”, Labelle left everyone on their feet. Backstage Labelle says “Prince will always Impress me,”. Well she definitely impressed us when she kicked off her heels and took Prince by the hand.
