And the crowd goes wild …
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For more than three hours Saturday afternoon, about 75 members of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Atlanta had a incredible vantage point to watch the red carpet arrivals.
The teens, clad in yellow club T-shirts, screeched and yelled each time one of their favorites arrived.
Lil Wayne, Mike Jones, Big Boi and L L Cool J all warranted ear-piercing screams from the group.
“My voice is about to go,” said Chakiria Duncan, 15. “We’ve been screaming all afternoon”
Kiaria Bostic, 18, said Lil Wayne was the artist she was most excited to see.
“He tells the truth,” she explained. “He expresses himself and what he’s about to you. And he does it intelligently.”
To help keep the kids’ energy level up, a BET production assistant ran up and down in front of the bleachers where the kids were standing, waving his arms wildly and encouraging them to scream. They were rewarded with small packets of Skittles and M&Ms that were regularly tossed to them.
A BBC Radio 1 news crew trying to conduct interviews directly in front of the kids were less than pleased at points as interviews got drowned out.
