Jamie really doesn't get enough credit. He can sing, play instruments, act and he's a comedian - he's a legend.
So happy for him, he genuinely looks honoured
YES, let's say it again a damn legend for sure this man can do it all!
Fact that man is all round talent
Not to mention he's an amazing father❤❤❤
A movie star don't forget 😂😊
@andersonmat100 i mean i did say that he can act
So humble of Baby Face to tribute someone younger. Love to see the brotherhood!
That was amazing😲
Love him. I swear he's pushing 70 yet he STILL has his namesake. ❤
Babyface doing your tribute is so freaking humbling....I was crying like Jamie.
Remember, some always reference Baby Face in his commentary. He had mad respect for Babyfaces music.
@@danavixen6274 he is pushing 70 and he looks and sounds amazing
When Jennifer came out, she brought tears to Jamie and his daughter’s eyes. This is the best tribute and reaction to a tribute I have ever seen. Jamie is so grateful! 🥰

BET…I think you are finally listening to your audience. This was one of the best tributes in a long time. You picked artists that could do the honoree & songs justice. It was great seeing how excited & honored Jamie was when each performer was announced. I loved seeing that even as an Oscar award winner he’s still grounded. Making sure to add his friends made it even better.
Yes
It was beautiful!
Agreed
Whoever produced this Award show is needed every year… I genuinely enjoyed every single moment!!!
Made feel like it use to be
Yes it reminded me of the early 2000s Bet Awards

@@Ariespath9😂😂😂
Jennifer Hudson voice is soo powerful it brought some people in the audience to tears including myself
She roared. Sound came out of her like she was invented to carry it correctly for the rest of us
Yes 💯
Jennifer Hudson is always going to deliver the goods.🔥
She gave me chills
Thiefyonce could never
When celebrities perform other people's songs in tribute, I always watch the reaction of the original artist. Jamie Foxx is not conceded. He actually enjoyed other people performing his songs. That's class! Jamie is not threatened.... He felt love and gratitude for the honor. Again, that's class! Jamie Foxx is so grateful for his life.
Jamie foxx felt like it wasn't his time yet, but you can tell he got emotional so quick because he felt it from his friends
His Time?!😮
Made me cry
Right
Add in the fact that he was close to death in the hospital, too. If you haven't watched the comedy special he put out last year, I highly suggest it. Those are tears of a man who is grateful to still be alive. ❤
@@Emerald-City-99yes when he fell ill and was critical, they were putting out there that he wasn’t going to make it, and then some put out that he had passed away, which most of us didn’t believe. Then it was confirmed that he was released and back home recovering.
SOON AS J HUD SAID “BABAAAAYYYYY” tears formed in my eyes… amazing voice
Same!!❤
She's the new Aretha Franklin ❤
We are talented people!!🎂💐👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I got chills! I did not want it to end.
In the wells of my eye! 🥹🥹💗💪🏾
Now this is the BET awards I remember!! Actual celerities! OG cameos! Make this a regular occurrence from now on!
The mics were ON! What a great tribute! I was smiling the whole time and singing along. I can only imagine how Jamie felt. Great job by everyone!
TI face spoke for all of us during J Hud performance 🔥 🔥
It should be meme of the year for 2025!!! lol
The someone farted face is when you know someone is releasing notes for us
😅@@rlazz
Yes, he is 🔥🔥
He really did.
The “stank face” is the only expression you could have on your face when Jennifer was singing. She totally killed it!!
😂😂😂😂 why the camera pan to T. I. making the stank face as I was reading this comment
My face tore tf up rn😭😭😭😭
I stood up off my chair!!
And J. HUD!! Mic stays ON !!! Her voice guts me in the soul every time ! 😩😩😩🙌🏽 baby is anointed !
She didn’t even need the mic, she pulled that mic a good two feet away from her mouth and still delivered the goods like it was still right there.
Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer Lord
I've always considered Luda's verse on Unpredictable to be one of his best verses ever, and it was always a shame the song wasn't big enough to warrant a live performance. What a surprise to finally see Luda rap those bars live.
Unpredictable my favorite song by him. It's such a gem
Yes! I love that song! ❤️
I couldn't agree more!
Luda STILL got it too! Skills! ❤
Luda so underrated
He was truly overwhelmed by the love🫶🏽
The tears. The humility. Thank you God for sparing his life. 🙏🏾❤️
I agree and he and his family made me cry at how emotional they were!
Ms. Hudson took us to church, to school, to the good ole days and to heaven!
😂😂😂true. But i don’t know about the heaven Part because i think actually nobody in the entertainment industry can take us to heaven.
That is hilarious 😂😂
Jennifer Hudson real singer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Wayment Babyface, Luda, Tank, our good girl J Hud, T Pain, Teddy Riley, and Doug E Fresh? On the same stage?! Wow this was too fun lol!!!!
😊
Awesomeness 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💐🌹
Yes, yes, yes!!!
It truly was. Just GOOD music, with Great singers, honoring a Great Guy! Oh so good! 🎉🎉🎉
But who is the guy in white that ran out with T-Pain?
Whomever thought to pair Babyface and that Unpredictable record deserves a raise.
Jennifer Hudson is straight class.
I will argue till I’m blue over Jamie Foxx. That man is the definition of multitalented and never misses in everything he does. He clearly is an amazing father as well. So glad he got his recognition.
Facts! I think in terms of multitalent, Keke Palmer and him are very similar, they're both also hilarious AF 🤣
We love Keke!!! ❤❤❤
Jenniferrrrrrr!!!!! I done threw my shoe at my phone screen....you betta sang sis!🙌🏾🥰
😂😂😂😂😂
Yep! Not sing! SANG!!! 😂❤
I threw my shoe at the TV girl before I knew it and thank God it was just my house you😂😂😂!
Right fr she ate and left no crumbs
😂 yesss
No lie, the Bet Awards was so much better this year!
Yes !! Best one in a long time
I said the same
This TRIBUTE is DEFINITELY one of the BEST I've ever witnessed. ❤
AMEN! ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🖤
They brought back class this year. This stage has had legends on it. And Im glad to see this brought back
Omg when J-Hud steps on the scene, she demands and commands that stage! I flippin looooooooove her! ❤❤❤❤❤ She is like no other my God!
She's a TRUE Dreamgirl. ❤
All of this 💯
I enjoyed every moment of this tribute . Now this is real black love and entertainment . Respectful attire everyone looked nice . Love my people . Thank You , BET
Well Dayum Jennifer Hudson. Takes us home. Her soul broke 💔 with ultimate loss in her life because she was meant to remind the world the healing power of music.
This was one of THEE BEST tributes I have ever seen on the BET Awards.
I mean....TOP TIER! The artists, the band, song selections, the creativity. Magnificent! Job well done!
Congratulations to Jamie on his Icon Award. It is more than deserved 👏🏽
The New Edition Tribute was top tier as well. Bet does really great with their tributes I’ll give them that. We need a Jodeci tribute next!!
FACTS
Jennifer’s voice is way too powerful for radio. She is a performer. Absolutely amazing!!
U can never be too powerful for radio trust all artists want their music played on the radio especially from a marketing and promotion standpoint
@@anthonytaylor7928yes you can . That’s why she didn’t have the hit radip songs like she should. Radio play is not always a plus either. This woman’s voice is amazing.
Yessss, 🙌🏽 EGOT!
@@Bagneriseone Outside of a few, she wasn't given the right songs. Incorrectly marketed.
@@candiceburke2330I can agree with that
Jennifer understood the gahhdamn assignment. Yessssss!!
Jennifer said..let me get off this couch for a minute
For sure, and captives the audience. 😊😊😊
Jennifer is otherworldly! Her vocals are dripping in anointed oil from being saved.
So true, that girl is truly anointed, if she ever gets loose a lot of people will look to Jesus
Jennifer Hudson baby that voice still annoited omg I tear up when I hear them pipes girl. Love you forever! Keep Shining!!
Tank sang his face off!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 so did Jennifer
Yes, he was!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I don't care what song Jennifer sings......it will give you goose bumps every time. Such a powerful voice.
J Hud gave me Effie vibes she went straight Dreamgirls mode she killed it!!
🧡
And she’ll never leave us♥️🔥🌟
I wish she had sing that song from dream girls I forgot the name 😩
The goosebumps!!!!! ❤❤
Jennifer Hudson will have you breaking down in tears. She is phenomenal.
It's so iconic to have the legendary Babyface pay tribute to you.
Like I would feel so unworthy 🥹😩
Came here to say that!!!!
For sure.
One thing Jennifer Hudson can do well is SANG!!! Jaime Foxx definitely inspires her to SANG! The last time she sang like that she won an Oscar!!🙌🙌🙌👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
💯💯💯 Miss JHud sure can SANG...
i prefer Jennifer Hudson over Beyonce her voice is so calming, soul I just love it
That was Effie singing for Curtis right there!😊
@@shandaa3377yes that’s right 😂
Ok are we not gonna talk about Jamie’s reaction when he heard and saw luda come out ❤
Amazing. Start to finish. But Jennifer…WHEW!
Jhud voice stole the show 🎶🔥 church choir voice!!
JENNIFER HUDSONS VOICE IS SO AMAZING!!!!
YES IT IS!!!!
Imagine being Jennifer Hudson and taking souls at every single tribute! ❤❤ She does NOT miss
Jennifer left no crumbs ❤
Period

When they call Babyface to honor you...Top tier 👌🏾 this was ICONIC
The fact that he seems to be surprised makes it so much heartwarming!
God bless,I hope you're a fan of mine, I say thank you for your support and how long have you been supporting me by watching my movies?

It's so beautiful to see how moved Jamie is. Sometimes, folks are stoic during their tribute. He deserves all of this!
Luda is so slept on. A true GOAT!

Jenifer making Gold Digger become a Church song is crazyyyy 😅❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Babyface to sing unpredictable is amazing
Hey we share a last name 😂. 👍🏼
This man's voice is so smooth
When J-Hud looks into the camera at 4:42 , she is reminding EVERYONE at home who forgot who TF she is! 🔥🔥
That’s that American Idol training too! 😭 sing to the people at home too!
Yes.
Jennifer had us all in tears that voice of hers and she look gorgeous too
I've cried the second she opened her mouth, woooow 🥹
Jennifer is a whole other vibe. She sang her butt off! WOW
Babyface, Ludacris, Teddy , Tank, Doug E Fresh, T-pain and Jennifer did that
I saw my Jennifer Hudson for being such a powerhouse, and that voice that shakes your soul and also that when she’s on her soul, she is so humble you would think she’s a different person. But she knows when to bring it. Good job sister.
Jamie with both of his girls, love it. Gorgeous family. Praise God for the testimony he has to keep sharing with the world.
Seeing Jamie so incredibly touched brought me to tears😭❤️
Babyface and JHud just show up and show out whenever they feels like it lol
When Jennifer came out dancing Babbby it shook the room
JHud did that
Drop the 🎤
JENNIFER SANG HER FACE OFF AND MINE!! 🙌🏽❤🔥
JENNIFER made me cry big tears!!! Congratulations Jaime!!! Well deserved 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I knew Tank was gonna cut up him & Jamie are good friends and sang back up for each other over the years
