Lenni G. on last night's results:

Best part of last night's results show was the repeat of Sonya Tayeh's "Garden" routine with Courtney and Mark from season four.  Sonya's choreography is so twisted and so good, and Courtney and Mark did it really well again.  Nigel announced that the show will continue to feature two All Stars each week, which I think is a fabulous idea.
 
Bottom three this week were Robert (second time), Billy (first time), and Melinda (third time in a row!).  After Ne-Yo premiered his new single, "Beautiful Monster," the judges returned from their deliberations. 

Maybe you don't have tickets to Saturday's Soul Picnic or maybe you like to shake your groove thing privately.

Fear not.

Tune in to TV One on Sunday at 8 pm for "TV One Night Only: Live From the Essence Music Festival."

It's a two-hour sampling of performances from the 15th annual New Orleans gathering.

The lineup: Beyonce, En Vogue, Ne-Yo, Jazmine Sullivan, Salt N Pepa, John Legend, Charlie Wilson, the Rev. Al Green, Teena Marie, Anita Baker, Robin Thicke.

Timing turned the BET awards 2009 into the first televised tribute to the life and music of Michael Jackson.

And it was officially sanctioned -- father Joe Jackson was in the audience (with, naturally, Al Sharpton) and a brief, onstage, appearance by Janet Jackson. Clad in all-white, she teared up as she reminded the audience that while MJ was an icon to them, to the Jacksons he was family.
