yeah not surprising.
New Kids performing now. shout out to Chichi, lol. missing you, mate.
man Jordan Knight would have made a much better post-band Justin Timberlake.
Totally agree with you, arXter. I have Jordan's first solo CD and played that thing to death. It was completely underrated, imo. Lots of good music on there. :yes:
beyonc shut it down! leona lewis shut it down! miley cyrus did a good job! and yea lol
I agree about Beyonce. She tore it up. Each time I hear that song I like it more and more. Wasn't too keen on it the first few times cuz it reminded me of Check on It too much....which was a good song. It just seemed like Check on It, part II to me. But now I'm really feeling the song.
And surprisingly, I LOVED the song Miley Cyrus did. :blink: I hate myself, but I liked that song. Miss Thang actually has a good voice. Reminded me of Pat Benatar or one of those rocker chicks from the early 80's. Might check out her other songs to see if there's more substance there. I may have misjudged her as manufactured musical crack for the masses. :lol:
Ne-Yo was good. i liked the live brass section, you hardly ever see that in pop these days. and Beyonce was great.
Chris Martin of Coldplay was a bit off. his voice seemed dodgy. but i'm shocked they didn't win an award, though it's not exactly prestigious..
glad Annie Lennox got such a reception, she deserved it.
and Chris Brown was right - he didn't deserve his award.
O.M.G. @ Ne-yo and that brass section. Complete eargasm. :cloud9: LOVED that version of Miss Independent. It had that old school Lounge swagger to it. I NEED that version in full...the whole song. I hope he does one. Mmm Mmm good. His set was very well done also. Loved the look. Not a lot of booty shaking but real dancing. The girl in the red dress was a nice touch and the nod to The Time during Closer was pretty cool. Ne-yo's got some moves. LOL! I watched his part of the show again on youtube last night. Live music can not be beat. Can't say it enough.
Mariah....pretty good, but yeah, boring, imo. And I hate to say that cuz I think she's amazing. Loved the song, but she was just...blah.
Annie Lennox....Amazing! Awesome...all that good stuff.
Christina....awesome as usual...but didn't like her hair. lol It looked too fluffy or something.
Alicia Keys....ditto..except I loved her hair and her dresses! Beautiful and elegant. Loved the opera touch with Kathleen Battle. Alicia has never failed entertain as far as I've seen her on these award shows. She knows how to bring something new and interesting each time. And LIVE music is always refreshing. There's nothing like it, imo.
Rihanna...looked great (loved the white dress) and liked that song but she was borderline ok and blah for me.
I enjoyed the majority of the performances. The awards part was pretty boring tho. There were no real superstars there to create that extra buzz when they won.
