At the BET Awards on Sunday, Chris Brown performed an emotional tribute to Michael Jackson. After keeping a low profile since beating up Rihanna, Brown was back in the spotlight. This time, it was almost like he embodied the King of Pop. He started out wearing a fedora, spangled glove and moonwalking to “Billie Jean.”

When he began singing “Man in the Mirror,” Brown broke down. His voice cracked as he was crying, and he couldn’t sing. At one point, he even crumpled onto the stage.

Other highlights of the show included T.I.’s first TV performance since being released from prison at the end of last year and El DeBarge turning back the clock performing hits such as “Rhythm of the Night.” Kanye West, Usher, Drake, B.o.B., Keyshia Cole, Eminem, Alicia Keys, and others also performed.

Trey Songz was named best male R&B artist. Jay-Z led nominees with five nominations, while Beyonce, Keys, Songz and Melanie Fiona had four nominations each.

Star tennis player, Serena Williams, was honored at last night’s BET Awards where she was named “Best Female Athlete.” She wasn’t on hand to accept the award, of course, since she’s currently competing (and doing very well!) at Wimbledon.

Congratulations, Serena! You deserve it!
