Chaka's FIVE minute tribute only took TWELVE minutes... oh wait... she's coming back out for an encore...


Oh lawd,... Ron Isley has already used three minutes with a rambling introduction and he hasn't even started singing yet!

O.k., this may be inappropriate, but what the fuck is Cicely Tyson wearing at Areatha's funeral? That hat looks like the helmet dude wore in Spaceballs.

How long is this funeral?

Originally it was said it would be 6-8 hours. I don't know why BET only had 3 hours scheduled. People who set their dvrs for that are gonna be heated. I'm hoping it clears up by 5:30. tho or I need to reset my recording time.

Have you been to the hand identity thread? Stop throwing shade at our elders. She is 93 years old. If she wants to block the sun with her hat, we let her do so without comment.
Says who? And making a mild joke about her attire is not disrespecting her. People say a lot worse things about elders at church.

I hope I can get full copy online .. Even some of the streams have been cut short.

If BET is good to us they will air a replay sometime this weekend. If I had been thinking I'd have tried to capture the livestream.

Cicely Tyson is the resident church mother for this fune. Don’t y’all get it twisted: late, walked up and sat in her rightful place up front.

Sheeeeeeit! I'm just hoping this homegoing doesn't run over into Venus and Serena at 7:00pm.
:scared:

as usual PBS is more reliable and has better quality than BET
after the event ends - the stream link I posted should be replayable for a few days atleast

We are in the Youtube era,

The Royal Family has the Wedding of Harry and Meghan up for viewing

All those network should leave this up for permanent viewing.

I didn't even think of PBS. I wasn't expecting to be home today, but my work schedule changed.
