    Glad Janelle Monae is getting the recognition she deserves. I also guess since Ed, Janelle, Usher and Chris are very expensive were big bookings, they threw in Madonna lite and Mariah lite as a freebie for customer service.

    I’m sorry where are the SANGERS? John Legend & Usher & Ariana Grande I’m not mad the rest well alright….

    • JOHNVIDAL January 30, 2015

      Oh really? So Usher sings better than Janelle Monae and Lady Gaga? lol

  5. Meteorite January 30, 2015

    Seriously? That line up is seriously weak! Usher and Janelle I can deal with. However, where is Alicia Keys? Stevie Wonder loves her? Get Patti, Mariah, Jazmine Sullivan, Tamia, Toni Braxton, Anita Baker, Herbie Hancock, Yolanda Adams, John Legend. The list goes on. There are still so many legendary heavyweights alive that they could have called upon to REALLY pay tribute. Hell I would even settle for Christina or Beyoncé or Celine, or J-Hud…-sighs- like where are the SINGERS at? Stevie Wonder is a Rhythm and bluesIf I was Steve I would feel insulted.

      (CORRECTED VERSION)

      Seriously? That line up is seriously weak! Usher and Janelle I can deal with. However, where is Alicia Keys? Stevie Wonder loves her. They didn’t ask Patti, Mariah, Jazmine Sullivan, Tamia, Toni Braxton, Anita Baker, Herbie Hancock, Yolanda Adams, John Legend etc. etc. etc. The list goes on. There are still so many legendary heavyweights alive that they could have called upon to REALLY pay tribute. Hell I would even settle for Christina or Beyoncé or Celine, or J-Hud…-sighs- like where are the SINGERS at for this tribute? Stevie Wonder is a RHYTHM AND BLUES ARTIST NOT A POP STAR! And next to none of the artist they selected for this tribute get soul music. If I was Stevie Wonder I would feel insulted.

    Umm idk what the person above me is talking about. The lineup is amazing. Gaga is an excellent singer as is Ariana!

    Ed is great and do is janelle. The eclectic lineup just proves that Stevie’s influence reached much further than r&b. plus…CBS want ratings that most of them folks u named can’t provide

  7. @RealMattPhoenix January 30, 2015

    Yeeehyr, lady gaga is an amazing live performer. You don’t need to search youtube far and wide to hear her great voice.

    And to the delusional people who were talking about those old people tributing stevie….do you even know what the essence of an award tribute is?

    It’s the younger generation of acts that show appreciation for the people who lay the footwork for them.

    Anyway, i’m stoked

    Gaga may flop but her voice is GREAT. Shame cause most blockbuster pop stars sound SO basic.

  9. TheElusiveLamb January 30, 2015

    This is nice. Stevie is so iconic. He deserves this 100%.

  10. JOHNVIDAL January 30, 2015

    Here for some of them. The others are meh. It is an eclectic though. Always nice to tribute real raw talents.
