What’s so admirable about these people with all the help they get? I defenitely won’t watch it.
Meh. Didn’t watch. Glad I didn’t.
A bunch of talentless ‘artists’. Except for Alicia and Stevie.
“and a tribute to the late Whitney Houston by Jordin Sparks and John Legend”
Thought this should be her daughter Bobbi Kristina.
Katie totally ripped off The Smashing Pumpkins video ‘Tonight Tonight’! She looked cute but she relies rather heavily on her backing track, while singing live ;D
Only performance I actually enjoyed watching was Chris Brown’s, he knows how to put on a good show.
And Jordin sung so beautifully! Much better than J.Hud’s tribute at the grammys.
@janina: You must have low standards.
Despite the good dancing and “show”, Justin Bieber proves once again that he simply can’t sing “Boyfriend” live. So much of embarrassing parts to hear.
Usher sucked, he always lip syncs, as did Chris Brown, it was horrible.
What about Natasha Bedingfield’s tribute to Donna Summer?
I’ d really appreciate the video!
thanxsss
Beiber is a joke. Kelly Clarkson was perfection! Katy Perry used theatrics to TRY and cover up her poor vocals. And miss Carrie Underwood was amazing, yet I did not care for all the theatrics and effects they used on her microphone.
I am definitely NOT a country music fan but I have to admit (grudgingly) that Underwood blew everyone else out of the water last night with her vocals and performance. The song is stuck in my head and I have been singing parts of it all day. I bought it on Itunes. I love it and I am going out today and picking up her album. That girl can sing.
Most people were lip syncing and it was not a good look. Chris Brown didn’t do a good job at all but the production was great. For the people who DID NOT lip sync, I have much respect. These people are real and realize everyone makes mistakes but prove they can really sing. So much respect for them. Alicia, Stevie, Jordan, John Legend, and I suppose a few others. Love that Taylor won Woman of the Year but what she won for, Alicia did years ago and is still doing today.
I really liked Nelly Furtado’s performance. It’s not her best song but at least she knows how to perform live
terrible performances..really terrible, most of them in reality relied on studio sound..exempt Stevie Wonder, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks, who really sing live.
@Delphic:
Honey, I think you forgot Carrie Underwood.
What about Linkin Park…lets be honest..they had one of the best performances of the night…
Carrie underwood was fantastic! The girl can sing!
