I was very much impressed by Ariana. Her performance was gorgeous and the choreography was unexpected and seductive. This was the FIRST TIME where I saw her as a "star" -- similar to when Rihanna performed Umbrella at the 2007's MTV movie awards and Britney's Oops I did It Again at the 2000 VMAS--true game changer moments for their careers. Though Ariana's album falls as flat as her ass sans Borderline and Breathin, I hope she gets back in the studio soon to record a stronger followup.
