wow – that kelly rowland performance is the pits. she’s NOT even allowed to sing the verses and the one verse she is legally allowed to sing, she sounded awful doing so. this is really what you consider to be one of the best performances in the last several years?!?

That particular performance from Lady Gaga freaked my the hell out!!! The blood and all. I remember my mom and I were watching her in the living room, and my mom was like “Back in my day, they didn’t have to do things like that to make an amazing performance”. And I was like “She’s just being herself mama”. But to be honest, thats all I could say after she was finished performing…

I agree with MJ but come on. There have been way better performAnces than Kelly RowlAnd! Christina Aguilera “it’s a mans world” at the Grammys? Whitney “I’ll always love you”? Beyonce “ring the alarm” at the VMAs? Mariah “fly like a bird” at the Grammys? Did u forget? Even Usher “burn” or Pinks recent performances

Half of these performances do not belong here. But this is a personal site, therefore it is obviously biased.

the fact that kelly rowland is next to michael jackson is nothing short of shameful.
the stan-itude is disgusting.

How about the performer of our generation MISS SPEARS. I know Sam is a Brit Brit hater but you cannot deny her performance abilities.

That Beyonce BET performance was one of her best, I definately preferred that one over her 2009 boring ass “Ave Maria.” BET Awards 07 was a HOT show. Of course MJ reigned supreme with his performance. Just think. At about this time this year, he would be completing all 50 of his shows and racking in that dough. Sigh……..and Lady Gaga was wowing the crowd that night, she was really starting to impress me right about that time. The Chris Brown performance was good, but half of it was lipsunc.

That Kelly and beyonce performance had to be best performance i have seen in a long time…. It was good cuz beyonce killed as usually… Despite kellys singing she did for her lil peformance.> Then they brought michelle and solonge out… which was a great idea.. it jus broght more life to the performance.. unexpected surprises are always the best… i rate the performance a damn 100 on a 1-10 scale lol.. Loved it!!! miss you girls…
