Robin Thicke made some choices at the BET award and, well, some of it worked, at least. Thicke exposed his vulnerable side, yet again, during his time onstage. Thicke performed his ballad  Forever Love, accompanying himself on the piano. More importantly, before the teary-eyed performance,  he offered yet another dedication to estranged wife Paula Patton.

Robin Thicke seems to have missed the memo.

"Good evening, my name is Robin Thicke, I’d like to dedicate this song to my wife, and say, 'I miss you, and I’m sorry.' This is called 'Forever Love,'" he called out from the stage of the Nokia Theater on Sunday.

When he finally played the tune, it was no less tearful than the introduction. Thicke looked visibly distraught through his performance, pausing several times to wipe his nose after a snivel.

The song, in case you’re wondering, is part of Thicke’s album Paula.
