Lady GAGA made best performance I’ve ever seen!

I barely watched the show. I did see Whitney and thought it sounded like murder. What made me laugh even harder over it was seeing the people in the audience crying.
I like Gaga. I find her completely weird and outrageous but her cd is something I can’t stop playing. I think she has great vocals when she actually sings.
As for Adam that was just ridiculous. I understand embracing who you are but I think he went a bit too far. I think it is stupid when girls pull the same shit as well.

I’ve been a Green Day fan since I was seven. That is 13 years of Green Day love…and I just felt terrible for them during this performance. Billie Joe sounded like he was straining. Idk, it sounded to me like he had a sore throat or something. :( Oh well.

the ama’s themselves were eh..okayy but I feel that they should fire every hairdresser who worked on these people. kelly clarksons hair was terrible, keith urbans was way damaged, and janets was just plain ugly. and for taylor swift, that girl deserves every award she has ever been awarded. she would have won these awards even if kayne hadn’t dissed her, obviously you are ignorant didn’t know how popular she was before then. so sad she wasn’t there and we couldn’t see her perform

I thought janet was great. The mix she did was great. The pants were a big off and I wish she would get rid of her choregorapher. You could tell how hot she was when she did IF and had a different choreogapher then. some of the moves were a big boring.

and to me–gaga IS over rated. If she is as talented as people say-then show it. She doesnt need all of the werird outfits and over the top theatrics in her performances. IT makes her seem more like a gimmick than a real person. Same with adam lambert with the huge hair, make up, crazy clothes. ALl gimicks

class acts: mary J, whitney, alicia keys (if she would just lose the ugly jacket), kelly clarkson (if she only fixed her hair before she went on stage)

not bad: rihanna , lady gaga , jay z and alicia keys, shakira(will remember the long chain of women tapping each other’s butt)

not too sure about their songs choices: j lo, janet jackson (just couldn’t relate, even if i really wanted to relate to her performance.,)

Meh: Adam Glambert.. very sad.. he is a talented singer selling himself short like a pop tart. he has all the potential in the world.. but he wants to emulate has beens and people half as talented as he is.

i think the reason i like gaga so much is that every performance is just that….a Performance. Plus she’s ridiculously talented. the woman can sing. but it is a preference thing. the ama’s were ok. i dvr’d it so i could fast forward the awards and watch the performances. so many arists sound really bad live and need a studio to make them sound good. gaga isn’t one of them.

oh the show was overrated crap… its a freak show.. all trying to out do one another with shock value.. to the point it turned out to be incredibly… MMMMMEEEEEEEHHH… is that what we have for artistes nowadays.. ?? whatever happened to singing and dancing? why do I feel like many artistes are trying to cover up their average talents with shock value.. or sex? or rage? no wonder taylor swift won the artist of the year.. she is the only artiste today who probably gets it…, entertain through music.. audiences don’t need to be blown out of their minds all the time.. music is powerful enough to do just that.

@Trent – it’s just irritating when people attack her as a no-talent hack when that is clearly not the case. She attended the Tisch School of Performing Arts at NYU which accepts roughly 35 people into their program each year. It’s fine if people don’t particularly like her music, but they certainly can’t label her as being talentless when she is arguably one of the most vocally talented singers in the business right now. Out of last night’s performances, the two strongest vocal performances were by gaga and mary j blige, without a doubt – not even whitney was impressive.

@KS — But taste is all subjective, many people are not impressed with her singing or theatrics. For that matter, many people do not care for Britney Spears and yet she is loved by many others. To some, these artists are overrated … it’s nothing to take personally.

@isabelle – how is gaga overrated? she’s one of few singers that actually sounds amazing live, and for that matter, she’s one of few artists that actually did a lot of singing live (did you see rihanna? she did a lot of live talking…and j.lo sang with a backing track the entire time). Bad Romance is the number 1 song on itunes right now, and The Fame Monster is the number 1 album (and The Fame Monster Delux is the 3rd album) – and for good reason! She is a good singer, and extremely entertaining. She deserves any praise she gets. And watch this video and tell me if she’s still overrated. She can do it all.

I enjoyed Gaga, Green Day, Jay-Z and Alicia’s number, and Kelly’s too. I was bit underwhelmed with Janet’s and Shakira’s. Disapointed with Adam’s debut. I thought the two guys on leashes was hilarous, but the performance as a whole was embarassing. The audience reaction at the end said it all, and Ryan Seacrest’s attempted jokes didn’t help. I’m pulling for Adam for next time!

gaga was amazing!! Love her!!!!

Cant believe Taylor won so many awards! And some of the lip sync performances were horrible!
Mary J was awesome as always!

Are they slits in Rihanna’s outfit or just gold/brown lines. Cause they look much darker than her arms. Either way its a hot outfit, was just curious thats all. Why is everyone rocking the short hair though. For Mary’s credit, i totally forgot about her, she rocks the short hair aswell. Still think Rihanna takes the crown for it though.

The show was painful to watch….I too turned it off after a while. And could someone please give Rihanna a normal haircut…it looks so stupid!!

Agree with Kendra, glad Gaga went home empty-handed. She’s so bloody overrated, I DON’T GET IT!!

I HATE Taylor Swift.. I hate her even more if she’s really dating hottie Taylor Lautner!

@chase – that’s quite a rundown. :)
well, here’s what i think: ever since lady gaga came out with her craziness, everyone is trying to be shocking and “out there” in much the same way, so it makes everything boring.
andd i don’t think taylor would be getting as many awards had kanye not interruptd her speech at the vma’s. :/

Umm…really? So Kayne acts like a douche and suddenly that girl gets a pile of awards and attention thrust on her for annoying songs about highschool love and all that crap?

By: CHASE

CHASE — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:57:29 +0000

Oh, and can JLO please retire? I can’t believe she lip synched her entire song. Even her dancing was a disappointment and that song, eh! Don’t even get me started.
