Wow what a show it was. It all began with Gorillaz and Madonna. Let me just say that I think whole Gorillaz idea thing is weird. Singing CGI? Um.. no. Then Madonna bursts out with “hung up”. I’m not really a fan of hers but she did her thing. She looked great… still can’t dance to save her life but still she looked great.
One of the funnier moments of the night: Stevie Wonder & Alicia Keys. They were presenting the first award for best female pop vocal. Stevie gave Alicia his harmonica to hold and she blew on it… he was like “don’t be getting no spit up in my harmonica girl!”
I was on the floor! Alicia looked stunned but laughed it off.
Other high lights for me:
-Keith Urban’s performance really surprised me. I don’t like country music but I really liked his performance.
-Christina Aguilera was also amazing.
-I also enjoyed Mary J. Blige with U2. I can’t stand U2 but this was an exception.
Total disasters:
-Mariah Carey’s performance was a train wreck! I like Mariah but she STRUGGLED to get through her set. Her voice was cracking and all over the place. She still managed to wear something ultra low cut to show off her breasts (as always). Is it just me or is Mariah starting to look like the lion from the wizard of oz?
-Sly Stone Tribute. What a load of crap that was. Joss Stone, Fantasia, and Devin Lima were great but the others sucked. Ciara needs to stop trying to sing. Just dance girl dance!
Steven Tyler came out and screamed some gibberish and then the moment… SLY STONE came out with a blond mohawk! It looked so weird! (The guy is like a hundred) Then he gets on the key board and says a couple of “yeahs” then walks off the stage!!! HE LEFT AT HIS OWN TRIBUTE!
-Coldplay’s performance sucked big time. Chris Martin looked like he didn’t shower for a week. EWWW! He was just running up and down the stage and isles singing out of breath.
-Bruce Springsteen came out and depressed everyone with “devils & dust.”
-Kanye West & Jamie Foxx’s performance didn’t work. Am I the only one that thinks Jamie Foxx can’t sing?
Surprises:
-Kelly Clarkson winning 2 awards! She was floored. It was a nice moment for her.
-Mariah DID NOT win record of the year or album of the year. I was very surprised ‘cause “MIMI” was groundbreaking for her.
That’s my view on the show. It was entertaining and definitely better that last years.
