Beyonce wasn’t live…

It was a recording of her voice singing live, so basically she was lipsynching.

Loooooooorrrrrd. You got pictures of a whole lotta crazy.
What is up with Rihanna and those outfits? They look terrible. I’m not saying to wear turtlenecks, but good grief.
When my kids were walking around my house singing that STUPID song um-bah-rella, ella, ella, ella, eh eh eh. I was ready to KILL. And seeing her just makes me cringe.

of course its BEYONCE! that gets the whole crowd on there feet. she didnt even tell them too like she does sometimes. shes just a great singer and performer and the crowd never gets disappointed. best of the night. im sorry Taylor Swift and Rihanna had the worst performances. Rihanna, love the music but you cant perform or sing. stay in the studio with the writers writing for you

I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this….but I’m pretty sure the white lady you spoke of at the 3:17 mark, is Candice Olson from Divine Design on HGtv.

First I agree… while I love Kanye’s music he is so douchey at these things… winner or loser he’s a whining brat. Last night was no exception… why that man can’t make a decent acceptance speech is so beyond me… like he can’t actually THANK people. My favorite part of the night was the Taylor Swift performance… she rocked that and you could tell that song was a personal one for her. I thought she was going to cry after the first verse but she fought it and seemed to turn it into anger and you KNOW who she was venting it too! Hahaha she kept glaring and pointing at key moments in the song right to the spot the Jonas Brothers were sitting at and you could just see her giving it to him in the song! LOVE IT!! haha I also think it would have been great if Chris Brown and RIhanna had shown each other a lil lurve when they won… the place would have LOST IT… and what a perfect way to score ratings! Mariah did her thing, I love that woman and Sasha Fierce gave a great performance, but seriously she’s freaking Beyonce, I don’t get the altar ego thing!

beyonce performance was B-rilliant! seriously, she rocked the house. although it would be a conflict between networks and all, i imagined justin and the SNL boys making a little cameo during this performance. that would’ve been hilarious.

I expected more from Xtina Aguilera! Her singing wasn’t her best tonight, and, yes, she can’t be perfect every time, but if they are going to promote HER and give HER all the hype, then she needs to live up to that.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I always thought that she wanted to separate herself from the Britney crowd, and there she goes right into her footsteps. Oh well…

You’re a Douche-
Kanye West is too fucking cool for you and the rest of the idiots who can’t understand what he is saying.
You should just shut-the-F-up and blog about lesser celebrities.
Kanye is untouchable and you need to show some RESPECT!

if you ever watched one of the cartoon videos, or bought a kanye cd you’d understand the tail lol.
im over beyonce & rihanna…i wish those 2 would just hide for a year. i cant stand the way rihanna dresses anymore, it just gets worse & worse.
Mariah & Sarah McLaughlan with Pink killed it yesterday, i loved it.

First of all – I love the word douchey! I’m going to use that. But really, it is a perfect way to describe Kanye’s behavior? What in the world was that about? No one acts like that but him. Who told him that was acceptable. And what’s with the fox tail hanging out of his pants? Why didn’t he get flour thrown on him? Hmm? Poor L.Lo. I didn’t like Taylor Swift’s performance at all and it’s such a shame because I love her. Beyonce defo did her thing and Pink rocked it too. Love that bitch.

Beyonce was very good but for me the standout of the night was the final duet with Sarah McLaughlan and Pink. AMAZING vocals for a gut-wrenching song. Simply beautiful.

Pink’s solo performance was great too.

Annie Lennox – WTF? She started off strong but went downhill pretty quick. I detested that horrendously depressing song and at one point, my ears started to bleed. Toward the end, I was screaming SHUT THE F*&@# UP to my TV and throwing stuff at it. Overall, offkey and awful.

The good news for Annie is, she was way better than the Jonas Bros. Holy crap. WTF?

I would agree about beyonce, IF, she actually sung the song! I understand the ‘dance’ has gotten a lot of media coverage, but c’mon! To only sing the verse, then not sing at ALL during the chorus!?? I just dont get it.

Beyoncè’s performance was ok. Nothing special. Same routine she has been performing, SNL & TRL. Did u not catch the part where she was off tho and almost walked into her dancer?

Xtina was ok. Her voice sounds like it got deeper. She needs to stop trying to showcase that she can carry a note and just have fun n’ perform. That’s all I seen so far.

Oh and if numbnuts kanye really felt he didn’t deserve his award he should have requested that his name be withdrawn. Stupid. Just another chance for him to get his name out there.

Did anyone else think that Miley’s red carpet dress was incredibly inappropriate for a 16 year old? Lots of cleavage and leg… she is 16!!!! BARELY!!!! I am glad that she at least changed in to something more age appropriate later.

Annie Lennox = all class, all the time. Most of those other “artists” don’t deserve to be in the same room with her.

Was I the only one who noticed the drunk presenter introducing Pink?

I actually really liked Taylor Swift’s performance but I’m a big fan. LOVED Pink and Sarah’s duet..NKOTB was kinda embarrassing…

What was with Rihanna and Chris Brown sitting beside each other but not acknowledging each other when they won an award haha.

Scott Weiland was on something.

where is JT? it would have been so much better of a performance if he was in it!!!

I was kinda disappointed with the performances…but I have to say that Taylor Swift’s “F U” attidude while she sang was hilarious. ‘Cause you KNOW she was singing to Joe. haha

its not cause your getting old Val, its just the way it works now. the past very award shows have shocked me with who the winners are.

By: Val

Val — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 19:49:59 +0000

Annie Lennox was the best act all night. That’s the bar singers should aim for.
Cold Play a distant 2nd.

All the award shows have lost some of their prestige & luster for me. Maybe I’m just getting old & cranky, but so many awards are won based on the politics of the business & not the pure talent.

So much incredible talent out there that doesn’t have a huge publicity machine behind them & huge publicity machines promoting people with no talent at all.
Sigh..
