(photo credit: ontheredcarpet.com)BET Awards-- which honors the best performers in music, acting and sports had chosen to honor the O'Jays as this years show, but once the news hit the airways of Michael Jackson's passing they scrambled to do a overhaul and the O'Jay's ended up sharing their tribute with Michael Jackson.
The awards opened with New Edition performing the Jackson 5 hit "The Love You Save." Host Jamie Foxx wore a red, leather "Beat It" jacket for his opening monologue and did his best to imitate Jackson's moonwalk across the floor.
Michael Jackson's sister Janet thanked the crowd at the BET Awards Sunday night for paying tribute to her late brother.
Debra L. Lee, chairman and chief executive officer of Black Entertainment Television, said Jackson's death both saddened and energized the awards organizers.
