Apparently Justin Bieber is up for Black Entertainment TV’s Best New Artist award, competing against the likes of Nicki Minaj, Young Money, Melanie Fiona, and Wale. I just feel the nominations are incredibly imbalanced in talent.
Some comments from EW.com:
“BET is just kissing Ushers ass….”
“Yes, because when I think of black entertainers the first thing that pops into my mine is a little white boy who looks and sounds like a 6 year old lesbian.”
“WTF, Justin Bieber! Is it April’s Fool?”
And Selena Gomez is up for the YoungStar award, the same award Will Smith’s daughter Willow Smith is nominated for. I’m not even sure how she got on the bill.
oh mel, gee . . . 
They sell albums, they’re both extremely marketable, and millions of people love them. Bieber has been #1 for 4 non-consecutive weeks on billboard 200 with his My World 2.0 album. That’s all that matters.
