They moon walked, wore gloves, and even wore tight pants in honor of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The 2009 BET Awards Tribute show featured stars from virtually every realm of the entertainment, from Lebron James to Lil Wayne.
Tributes were given in a wide variety of musical genres: Beyonce's renditon of "Ave Maria" to Jay Z performance of his single "Death Of Auto-Tune".
Perhaps the humbling part of the show, was the Janet Jackson's emotional, yet unexpected appearance. A tearful Janet stated, "My entire family wanted to be here tonight but it was too painful," a tearful Janet tells the audience."
"To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family and he will forever live in our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself thank you for your love and support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much." The effect of Janet's speech was profound, yet visible. You could see grown men crying, during the event.
