Vocals were excellent as always. She seemed a little off, especially with the dancing, but that probably was because she was performing 6 songs in a small space of time with minor costume changes. I've seen her live in concert twice and the girl is AMAZING!<br/><br/>Mariah Carey - Good vocals (although I'm not sure if they were live) but a boring performance as usual.<br/><br/>Alicia Keys - Best performance of the night hands down! Amazing vocals as always. I went crazy when Queen Latifah came out (even though her mic wasn't working for those first couple seconds). Not an opera person but it worked out well overall. They saved the best for last. I've also seen her live in concert twice and she puts on a great show!<br/><br/>Pussycat Dolls - Exactly what you would expect from them. Nicole was the only one singing live vocals as usual. I was glad they included 'I Hate This Part' but I've had enough of the 'When I Grow Up' performances. Choreography was the best thing about it.<br/><br/>Ne-Yo - A good performance for an ok performer. I was glad he performed 'Miss Independent'.<br/><br/>Rihanna - Vocals seemed pretty well-polished but she still is a boring performer. The eye patch has got to go!<br/><br/>Leona Lewis - Amazing vocals! Love this girl.<br/><br/>Natasha Bedingfield - Surprisingly good.<br/><br/>Kanye West - Love the song and the set. Pretty indifferent to the rest of it.<br/><br/>Beyonce - HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Had to be the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Who knew someone could make dancing so obnoxious and she seriously thinks what she's doing is hot. Could not stop laughing at her. Even worse than the video!<br/><br/>New Kids On The Block - Never was a fan but I like 'Single' (well, Ne-Yo's version of it). Their vocals were terrible and the entire thing was cheesy bubble gum pop. Terrible!!! Christina Aguilera – For doing 6 songs in only 7 minutes, she did a great job! Vocals were excellent as always.

She sounded good and wasn't lip syncing. you can tell when she is, when anybody is, and she wasn't here. <br/><br/>As far as the performance overall, you can't use her vocal ability as a reason to just stand there. Old Mariah didn't just stand there, she worked the stage. Songs like Hero you can just stand there because it's voice and message driven. This song isn't She needs to walk back and forth or do something. <br/><br/>This album she hasn't disappointed me with her voice, just her lack of movement. Mariah, baby, next time i see you standin there i'm gon light ya dress on fire. Maybe then we can get something out of you. lol.

I'm a fan of both. When I first heard Single Ladies I was like, 'This is sh*t I've already heard before.' Then I saw the video and started to like it. Bottom line: the dancing on the video is selling the song. Without the video, and performance overload thru the media, the song would be nothing. I totally agree with MrRihannaFenty.

She is BOOOOORING as usual. At least she's consistent. lol And Yes! That biyatch was lipsyncing like a MOFO. Uhhh….Mariah’s been ultra stiff for too many damn years. She is BOOOOORING as usual.

She is not that popular and ain't even been out long enough to pull that crap. I for one didn't like (minus Genie in a Bottle) any of the songs in the medley. And poor, poor NKOTB.... They need to go sit down, drink their Geritol and call it a day. It's a Wrap! And why oh why would Christina come out and perform a greatest hits medley?? wtf?
