Mariah, Madonna, Cardi and Paula…the rest you can skip!!!
Agreed…Madonna, Mariah and Paula saving the night!
MARIAH ?????
Ciara should have used the opportunity to show out and showcase a couple songs from her new album. The song she performed is not hit or future hit so it was a waste. Level Up would have been better. I feel bad for her. It’s like she is locked in 2007 and can’t seem to find hit success the past decade. Also, her live performances could be more entertaining. This was more of a lazy performance for her.
The performance was a showstopper. Plus the song is rising on iTunes.
You’re smoking d**k. Nothing you said made sense or was accurate.
Mariah was Awesome, Arianna was ok, That Gospel lady was really good not sure of the song but she brought a vibe
Paula, Mariah, Madonna and BTS from Korea. I loved this year BBMAs.
YOu all must be delusional because this was a fest for the mediocre! OMG BORING and who Really still cares about AMAs in 2019??? LOL! Girl bye
Paula Abdul is back!!!! OMG!
Let me say it…Maluma is fine AF ? Face, thighs, booty lol…hunnie, he’s a SNACK. I’ll be back with my reviews of the performers later ??
I know right. He’s so yummy! That’s my papi chulo.
Madonna was a complete mess. Mariah was boring as usual with non existent vocals.
Uncultured millennial….go and stan for Ariana. 🙁
Madonna for spectacle and Mariah for vocals…the rest wasn’t worth watching. The middle aged 90s divas are still better than any of the “kids”
Sis what vocals the delusion be so real
This is true. While I wasn’t that impressed by Madonna, Mariah or Paula’s performances, they were still a hundred times better than any of the other performances.
Mariah definitely deserved that award but my Gawd, her performance was terrible! Out of breath and voice crackin all over the place!
Nope she was good overall. She was nervous and had a few botches. But you reaching.
That is how she always sounds though. Her voice is better suited for studio and concerts than short live performances. In the studio she can perfect it. On tour, she sounds the same but the audience appreciates her overall voice because of the wonderful notes she hits during the total performance despite the missed notes. Here her voice sounded good to me (despite the missed notes) and the ones not liking her performance are not appreciative of the wonderful high notes she hit live. I wish she moved more on stage though. If you are going to just stand there and just waive your hand your voice better be flawless like Tamela Mann and MAriah’s voice has flaws.
She needsto move more. Celine is a super performer compared to her. It´s a pity because Mariah has showed signs sometimes that she could do better. For example her 2016 European tour was so good. Her voice was in better shape than it has been in 5 years and she moved a lot (for her standards). I think it´s her damn weight.
Can’t say Mariah was lip syncing. The missed
notes let you know she’s singing live. I enjoyed her performance
Well deserved Mariah ?
Legendary queens Madonna and Mariah Carey showing the ageist f**** and this s***** generation of so-called artists how it’s f****** done!!!! ??????????
#FACTS…Latisya!!!!
U betta testify!?????
Good to see these legends like Mariah, Madonna, Paula Abdul are making a comeback.
They should’ve let someone from a singing competition sing in place of Mariah Carey because she sounded horrible.
A troll comment like this makes this blog quiet.
Go and talk to your shrink….
Go clean your ears out.
Honestly I wasn’t impressed by anyone’s performance.
Ohh Mariah the struggle was real
I don’t know what Madonna does to stay in shape, but you would never guess her age the way she moves and works the stage. Artists half her age can’t even do it like her; she makes them look pathetic.
Nick let his brother outsing him on his own song. Yikes.
Khalid’s songs were good, but he needed more help.
Daydream is the first album I ever owned. Mariah will always be my favorite even when she struggles.
Thank you Eric….you are so correct!
WHEW Chile Mariah was a devastating. She was so off beat and off tone. Chile.
I’m guessing you didn’t wipe your ass this morning.
Coming from a Rihanna fan… Can’t say I’ve ever heard Rihanna on beat EVER.
:sips truth tea:
Did we see the same Madonna performance? It’s not even about the hate, it was a mess, poorly staged, and the song sound like an attempt to jump on the LatinX crossover train without Bieber/Little Mix/Beyonce, etc. but 3 years too late.
It’s impressive that Madonna can still slay at her age — better than the other tired performances —, but did we hear she dropped $2-3 million on those computer animations for this performance? This was not the song for her to slay, should have saved those coins for a good song/bop.
Madonna has done the Latin crossover since the beginning of her career. Wtf are you talking about?
Right just ignorance taking its always funny to hear from people that have no idea about music or artist and what they have done. Honey Madonna has been dipping in the latin pool in more way than one before it was a trend. Get into it.
Ciara needs to give it up with that song wasted opportunity, Madonna looks good but for 5 million wasn’t really spectacular or anything memorable her dude hot though!! Mariah Carey looks good. Hasley looked a mess so did Kelly Clarkson the rest it’s whatever. It’s hard to believe Taylor swift is almost in her 30s her look and sound is immature.
Everyone did a great job. Except Halsey and that country band!
Ciara slayed per usual no one served a performance like Ciara and y’all know that s*** give a b**** credit when is due hating ass h***!!
Paula Abdul outperformed everyone. period. https://youtu.be/WWMUcIH1m4Y
Madonna is good!!!
Mariah is awesome!!!
Maluma is my crush!!!
Taylor Swift has cute performance with the handsome Panic at the disco guy
Cardi B? I might have to pass on that one
Ciara did awesome to me! She really has grown. At this point if you don’t like her, you are a hater and a miserable a** h** like NeNe!
It would of been nice if she would of gave us a little taste of the vibe that the video was giving us. That pant suit from 2000 was horrible and her weave looked horrible. She needs new management because that performance was not awesome you know that. I’m a Ciara fan but that was horrendous. She has not grown and that is why her career is where it is. Don’t be a fan that settles for mediocre but instead one that encourages your artist to grow and give 110%
Oh my what a disappointment this show was. Kelly was fun but definitely couldn’t top her self from last year. Performance wise I no longer am a fan of Khalid ( WTF? he cant sing live or pronounce his words) Halsey- Pink did it better, STOP!!. It seems the veteran performers definitely proved that these days they put anyone out there with or without talent. I hope the pendulum swings back one day where we aren’t over saturated but instead given true talents that will stand the test of time and put out music with meaning that will resonate with us years to come.
Ciara wants to be Janet and Michael Jackson so bad. smh Same old dancing.
beautiful gowns
Jonas brotherds, Taylor Swift, Paula were my favourite performances of the night.
Ciara – Puh-lease!
