Not gonna lie a tear dropped during Together Again she is straight up and THE BEST, f*** everyone else The Queen IS BACK!!!
Janet is simply beautiful.
I really don’t like Janet.
Janet did her thing, of course…
Loved Shakira’s performance as well ! amazing coreography esp with allllllll those dancers lol. she sure knows how 2 entertain. i love how she’s not afraid to share the stage, give opportunity to so many female dancers to be on the same stage as her.
OMG RhiYAWNna, My Earz r still Bleeding…
I’m with you R.J. I respect Janet for talents, but she doesn’t do it for me, she really never has. I never get to hear her LIVE REALLY….she always has those head mics which are a dead give away that she sings as about as much as Britney spears does and of course we all know what that means. Then again she’s never been this vocal powerhouse and I was being nice when I said that. So we will prob the only people on this blog who don’t care for her………..(Yeah I said it)
Rihanna is the epitome of mediocrity!
Just about any other performer would’ve killed those songs. She’s just walking around lethargicly and her vocals weren’t even on point. I dig her songs, but I wouldn’t pay a cent to see her live.
Mary j Blige and lady gaga my two favorites of the nite and Whitney is my girl
OKAY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW JLO BUST HER ASS! I don’t care what anyone says….Janet at 43 did her f****** thing……I wanna see if all this other wannabe are going to be around after a 20 plus year career…..SCREW THE HATERS! RIHANNA was not impressive at all…..my goodness your looks can only get you so far! FERGIE was the bomb….Carrie, Kelly and Mary shut it down
Janet- Killed it, Sick Moves and great Song Choices
Jay-z And Alicia Keys- Sick Performance, got me hyped, This song is the s***, thats it.
BEP’s- Another Great performance, they did the damn thing
Rihanna- *SMH* wtf was that? she did not even do Russian Roulette , all she did was swing her hair and walk around, mediocre performance.
Lady Gaga- The Piano Burning was Crazy, lady gaga brung it but her VMA performance was Better IMO.
J.lo- Not Live , she tripped, but great performance, good song too.
Whitney Houston- Oprah’s Performance was better IMO but hey is Whitney and she did Great, Almost Made Me Tear.
Also, I Knew Michael was Getting those awards.
WHITNEY UR THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was the best, the climax of the night.
RIHANNA, GAGA AND WHITNEY WERE GREAT!!!!
Whitney killed it!!!!
JANET , SHAKIRA AND J.LO
OWNED THIS AWARD SHOW!!!!
CRAZILY
J.LO IS ON HER WAY BACK AND IM LOVING IT
BEYONCE AINT GOT NO COMPETITION RIGHT NOW.
ITS HOT WHEN THERES 2 HOT FEMALES KILLIN IT N NOT JUST ONE
SO ID LOVE A MUSIC WORLD WITH BOTH OF THEM
JANET ID LOVE TO, BUT I DONT SEE HER DOING MUCH..LOVE IF SHE DID. BUT SHE SEEMS LIKE SHE GONNA CHILL
Sorry with all this star power the show is average at best. For me Janet did her thing but it lacked energy. Whitney looked great her performance was very inspiration but vocally she did better on Oprah. Mary smashed it. Jay-Z & A Keys same thing differnt show. Alicia Keys I guess we must find a new style since the solo buzz is dying down. Eminem & 50 cent boring. J Lopez wack song and corny performance Rihanna I advise to thank CB because the only reason people care is because of the incident modeling is your friend. Carrie Underwood hot. Everything else was not worth the time.
Well I really loved JLO’s performance. I really didn’t notice that fall when it was live. She’s really still got it.
QUEEN JANET AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JANET HAD THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NITE; I DON’T CARE WHAT SHE WAS WEARING; I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER WHO ELSE PERFORMED; NO OTHER FEMALE CAN F*** WITH JANET ON THAT STAGE; AND SHE WAS NOT IN HER BEST PHYSICAL FIT AND SHE OUT DANCED ALL THE 20 YEAR OLD; LADY GAGA PERFORMANCE DON’T EVEN MEASURE UP TO JANT’S PERFORMANCE; JANET JACKSON IS THE FEMALE VERSION OF MICHAEL JACKSON I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM!! JANET BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN YALL MAD???
SHAKIRA’S ENTRANCE WAS A RHYTHM NATION RIPP OFF!!!
Loved Whitney….
Alicia Keys bores me.
Love Lady Gaga
Love Janet
J-LO is a mess
omg ms jackson better work – loved the dancing and how she made it lok so efortless – its really funny to me how the veterans stole the show – the newbies didnt stand a chance with the exception of lady gaga who always seem to bring a fresh energy to the stage – janet murdered it whitney killed it ( i honestly didnt think she was but she won me over at the end of the song – it was great! the show as a whole was boring wit the exception of those 3 i mentioned – mary did ok too – didnt know the song so i really couldnt get hype – jlo ws ok too – the mtv awards was the best award show this yr as a whole – this one was really boring – after the performances i wantd to see i was over it – FYI JANET WAS LIVE SO HATERS FALL ON A SHARP ROCK!!!!!
i dont kno y people is hypin up that janet performance s*** super wackkk….gaga did her thing…kc was soso…jlo slipt but performance was on point song def grew on me…Akeys love da song!
Whitney A ——-> Best performance of the night IMO, even tho her voice is no longer the same, the woman can still gives you a run for your money!!!! she almost had me in tears!!! I was clapping like i was possessed lol!! Job well done!!! come Tuesday “Dancing with the stars”
Janet B+—-> she lacked energy, but she was okay
Kelly Clarkson B+ —-> good vocals
Alicia Keys + Jay- z B+ —-> Nice song
Alicia keys by her self B+ ——> I just love this girl right here!!! she can’t do no wrong in my eyes lol.
Mar J. B —–> she could have done better
BEP B- —–> i expected way more from them!! I was disappointed !
Lady Gaga C- —–> I will never get this girl
Rihanna D ——-> The worst performance of the night!!! Child the girl can’t sing aie aie my ears!!!
Jayden please shut the f*** up u Janet slammed that shyt u mad she actually dances and not gyrate her c****** up n down on a stage with a leotard???
Janet is # 1!!! OMG! Go Janet! Go Janet! Go Janet! ARGGHHHHH!!!!! I loved it there no leotards, no but pads, no c****** popping, just straight up dancing . I LOVE JANET!
janet is the ish! 43 yrs old and dancing like that!
where is Adam Lambert performance lol? One of the highlight of the show! Lady Gaga was the best…I really enjoyed Jennifer Lopez, Black Eyed Peas, Janet, Shakira, Timbaland with Nelly Furtado & SoShy and Carrie Underwood!
allnightdontstop janet can dance but da b**** looked like she popped a nyquil b4 hittin the stage no energy at all and i kno u aint trynna say she sounds good cuz we all kno shes not the best vocalist shes an older cassie that can dance bout it
WHITNEY did the DAMN thing! Congrats girl and welcome back! We know your strength!
Janet did great.
Loved Jay Z and Alicia and also when Alicia performed solo!
Mary killed it..
JLo was good even with the fall..lol
Whitney was fantastic..
I also liked Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and BEPs.
Adam Lambert …I was confused.
Lady Gaga was too over the top for me as usual.
I luv Eminem.
Rihanna bored me to tears. I had to turn the tv for a second.
JLO KILLED IT… She did slip… But she was in 6in heels… You try to walk in em… Other than that, she murdered that performance. And Louboutins is really growing on me… And to those who dont sing (but have a million thoughts about it) she was live, the song is super low…. GaGA Killed it as well, she knows how to give a stage show.. U gotta love her for it…. However I do wanna see somthing different from her tho… Its almost as if I want to see her look normal and s*** for once… like she did in beyonce’s video…. ALicia Was gr8 as always, Kelly clarkson saang her ASSS off… Whitney was ok, though Im not a fan of her eratic style of singing. but it works for her.. Janet was not live but who is ever 100% live these days.. even whitney has a backing track of some sort… Over all I think the show was great. However people will always be people…no matter how much you vent or hate an artist… Know that at the end of the day, someone likes them, it may not be you , but someone does… and with that, Rihanna needs a new stage show… S
WHITNEY HOUSTON KILLED IT!!!!
Janet killed it !!! It was classic, clean and lots of move! I love it.
JLO was great, Im glad that she is back
Whitney Houston… what can I say… DIVA! I love it.
Rihanna was ok…
LADY GAGA was f****** boring, 2nd of the perfomance was so boring…
Adam Lambert = attention w****, omg, omg omg and screeching vocals
Janet- loved her smile but a bit lackluster- enjoyed together again
Jennifer lopez- don’t like the song, that fall, my oh my and weak vocals- she recovered nicely though so i can’t hate for that
Whitney- loved it, very emotional, loved the belts and she still can command a stage- loved her speech and the audience loved her-look at what God can do
mary- decent vocals but sort of understated for you
jay and alicia- did good, gave the show some caffeine cause the audience was dead up until them
BEP- ok Will.I.Am,u are not Elvis and Fergie did a bit too much screaming for me. Loved the boom boom pow not MEHW and Will u were not humble
kelly clarkson- very good vocals but girl i need u to move
rihanna- *sign my ears girl, did not care for the vocals but the openning was nice
Gaga- hated the first part with the stupid dancing and bones, loved the vocals in speechless
Carrie Underwood- don’t really care for the song, good vocals but a bit of screaming
eminem and fiddy- turned away, lots of bleeping
daughtry- tuned them out , boring, same for keith urban
Jayden Janet was never much of a vocalist People tune in to her performances and what she’s gonna capitivate to the audience. At the end of day Janet’s opening >>>>>>>>>>
the entire show.!!!!!!!!
Gaga was crazy!!
Rihanna truly needs to rethink this music stuff, she lip synced and it was still bad
All other performers showed you why they are still in this business, they have actual talent..
Any one who continues to argue any point on Rihanna’s behalf is crazy!
Janet was the best performance…She proved that at 43 she gives these young girls a run for their money! If anyone disagrees, go watch it a 2nd time and you’ll see that she was really gettin it, especially during Make Me and when she was slingin her head around during If.
I thought Whitney and Black Eyed Pees (although I don’t really like them) had great performances too.
J.LO started off strong, but when she fell, she let it slip away from her.
From the posted performances: I thought Kelly Clarkston’s performance was solid (good vocals, made me remember why I liked her on American Idol). Not crazy about J.Lo’s song so it was hard to truly enjoy the performance like others. Whitney’s performance was touching. Janet was beautiful, but didn’t have as much energy like I’d expected but I enjoyed the end song “Together Again”. Rihanna’s outfit was nice. Lady Gaga’s performance was crazy creative. Alicia Keys singing didn’t grab my attention. Couldn’t really get into Shakira’s performance for some reason. Didn’t want to watch 50 Cent and Mary sounded strong, but a wee bit off.
OMG I love Janet, Shakira, Whitney, Carrie, Kelly, Gaga, and Alicia.
Janet- I have been a fan of hers for so long so anything she does I love, she did great lastnight and proved she still has it. I love her new song.
Shakira- That girl is always good, she is an entertainer and she and her dancers were hot.
Whitney- OMG she made me want to cry, she did GREAT!! What else are we to expect from her? Nothing but the best.
Carrie- She is my favorite country singer beside Taylor Swift, she sound just like her album and she looked so pretty lastnight.
Kelly- She sound so good but her voice is always beautiful.
Lady Gaga- Made me a fan lastnight, I thought she was another Rihanna but she really proved to me that she can sing her ass off.
Alicia/Jay- I am not really a fan of Jay Z they did alright, I do love Alicia Keys parts of the song. Her song she did by herself was good also.
Rihanna- That chick need to save us all and never sing live again, what the hell was her deal? All she did was walk around stage and swing her hair. Her label, manager, and voice coach need to have a major sit down talk about lastnight. That voice alone should get her dropped from her label.
Rihanna needs to work on her stage presece, that was way too upsetting. She could of killed it, but her voice is so weak.
Best Performance of the night was GaGa hands down. The choreography, staging and costumes she brought it. Vocals were solid 2.
After her had to b J.Lo.. Great song to return on and cool performance. Still got it.
But best vocals of the night.. I’m sorry, Kelly Clarkson destroyed it. It was so emotive and passionate and her vocals were so on point.
Honorable mention to Janet, Carrie Underwood, Shakira and Adam Lambert. Good job
SHAKIRA AND JANET ALL THE WAY!!!!!!1

I was nearly late for work watching Janet’s performance, but I just couldn’t miss it! She definitely killed it up there! There were some parts she was lipsynching, some parts that were live, put that’s Janet for you! Take it or leave it. And I couldn’t be more thrilled that she did If, including the breakdown! 😀
I’ll get to Shakira, J. Lo, 50 and Em, Whitney and Adam when I have the time. The rest are whatever, and I certainly won’t dare corrupt myself by watching Lady Gag’s and R******’s SATAN WORSHIPPING asses perform. Yuck!
Shakira-Dancing was great but you couldn’t really hear her Vocals not great.
Rihanna-Was just ok nothing special.
Mary J.-Was ok 2.
Janet-Seemed tired.
Jlo-Dancing was great you could hear her in the song unlike Shakira but she fell although she got right up like a pro .
Lady Gaga-Danced and sang live.

disappointed with Rihanna’s performance, the songs arent as good as the other album, i was so bored. WOuld have thought she would have come back with some thing hot
Im throwing on my ear plugs
Janet!!! AMAZING BEST PERFORMANCE SHE GAVE ME EVERYTHINK I WANTED
and aYY allow rihanna woow nobody gives her credit that she never lysincs people always looks at her negativity never at her good points HATERZ.. yhh she could have done better but goosh people are just over exagerrating the situation like woow calm yourselfs down she did look great as always =D
Ray J keep doing what ya doing man, and keep Whitney happy and singing. Get a list of her tour schedule dates and meet her prior to every performance. HaHaHa I saw the tape and I know why Whitney’s smiling. HaHaHa You go boy! Yes, size matters to Whitney.
FAVORITE PART OF ALL PERFORMANCE WAS PEREZ HILTON (WHITE GUY IN WHITE WIT BLEACH BLOND HAIR) GIG’N AND SINGING TO JAY Z AND ALICIA….. LOVED IT
I WOULD LIKE TO THANKS ALL FOR .HARD WORK AND GOOD PERFORMANCE
THANK’S JANET AND JENNIFER, THANK YOU ….I LOVE YOU ///////////
what ever.i love all the performances especially rihanna and whitney.way to to guys
GaGa killed that performance, best of the entire gotdamn show.
Quality…. vs…. Quantity
the females were great (Quality)… Janet#1,Whitney(still Queen),Mary J(Held her own. )Alicia (great)-Dispite-Jay- Wonder why Drake(‘The great’-Not really!) didn’t perform with his cronies-Em + 50 (Wonder if it had anything to do with the Great ‘hova)?
I dont get people that are so critical on “Come Back” Artist! Let’s see all of you do what they do! Imagine not performing for 10 or 15 years, Suffer the death of your brother, Then get back on stage knowing everyone is criticizing you for your similarities to the Brother You lost, Putting on one of the best shows in your career, inspiring people all over the world to keep the faith and never give up, Then some schmucks on the internet who probly have done nothing more than get Honor Roll in High School, have the nerve to say you could have done better! Not too mention Whitney-Having you marraige in the public eye from day one, Back and forth with drama and abuse and rehab, Vocal surgery that almost ruined her career, And still holding the record for best performer of all time! And Mary J.- Her life was a mess almost from the beginning, and she pulled herself thru found a way to bring herself back into the light and has dominated most female R&B performers since her come back began! The soul and passion she puts into her songs added to the power in her voice can send chills down my spine! I don’t understand how women like them could’ve done any better! I wish I had the strength and courage that they have to make their careers and dreams come to life! You all need to find something to do with your time, other than knockin down people you wish U could be! All their performances were Awesome! And no matter what critics say…They are the Queens of the Music Industry! You Go Girls!
J-Lo’s Performance was great! So she fell, Who cares? She didn’t stop Jammin! I didn’t get to watch the award show myself, and if I wouldn’t have been told about her falling, I woulda thought it was part of the show! She made it flow right to her next step! She carried it with grace and pride! Kudos J-Lo! You’re awesome!
