Performances
1.Lady Gaga & Elton John - "Poker Face"/"Speechless"/"Your Song"
Both were glammed up and roughed up with giant sparkley glasses. They sat opposite each other on a giant piano covered in arms.
2.Green Day with the cast of American Idiot - "21 Guns"
Great voices, great passion.
3.Beyoncé - "If I Were a Boy"/"You Oughta Know"
Amazing performance. Expected Alanis Morrisette to pop out on stage. Some crotch grabbing and show tricks along the way.
4.Pink - "Glitter in the Air"
I loved that she looked very angelic, not typical of bad-ass rocker Pink. Then her "barely-there" outfit a mere few sparkles and straps covering the parts legally required to be covered. What I really loved was her in the air spinning then wet dripping water at the celebs, undoubtedly annoyed, below. Very beautiful show.
5.Black Eyed Peas - "Imma Be"/"I Gotta Feeling"
Typical high energy, odd costumes, fun performance from BEP's
6.Lady Antebellum - "Need You Now"
Good other than the stage screen landingon her head briefly, she recovered well.
7.Jamie Foxx, T-Pain, Slash & Doug E. Fresh - "Blame It"
This was fun, though i can't be sure if Foxx dissed Jay Z at the end or not?!?! Slash was awesome.
8.Zac Brown Band & Leon Russell - "America the Beautiful"/"Dixie Lullaby"/"Chicken Fried"
I am Canadian, so the singing of the "America the Beautiful" first seemed a bit too patriotic to me, though I know many will disagree, I am not trying to offend, I just don't think anthems at awards shows are neccessary personally... Canadian, American, or otherwise... plus I am going to hear a lot of them all very soon as the 2010 Olympics come to town. Love Chicken Fried... catchy fun song.
9.Taylor Swift & Stevie Nicks - "Today Was a Fairytale"/"Rhiannon"/"You Belong with Me"
Eek - this didn't go over well. Their voices seemed to repel each other, clash, like a bad karaoke. I love TSwift, and SNicks, but.. this just wasn't good... Stevie is too old to sing about short shorts and captain of the football team...plus the banjo... no...
10.Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Carrie Underwood & Usher - "Earth Song" (Michael Jackson tribute)
I didn't get my 3D glasses so this was more of a headache to watch, but the singing was beautiful. Love Usher!!! I am not generally a Celine fan, despite being Canadian, I know... take away my citizenship
11.Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles - "We Weren't Born to Follow"/"Who Says You Can't Go Home"/"Livin' on a Prayer"
Loves seeing Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles on stage though she seemed to be trying a bit "too hard" and it came across almost ditzy/awkward non?
12.David Foster, Mary J. Blige & Andrea Bocelli - "Bridge over Troubled Water"
Beautiful voices came together for an amazing performance.
13.Dave Matthews Band - "You and Me"
LOVE DMB loved how they all rocked out hard care... fun!
14.Maxwell & Roberta Flack - "Pretty Wings"/"Where Is the Love"
Iconic really... amazing performace
15.Jeff Beck & Imelda May - "How High the Moon" (Les Paul tribute)
I loved Imelda's hait/style, I loved them grouped together.
16.Drake, Eminem, Lil Wayne & Travis Barker - "Drop the World"/"Forever"
Honestly, these guys ROCKED it... I just love all of them and my crush on Eminem got a lil bigger Shhh....
Some of the presenters
Kristen Bell & Josh Duhamel - she is so tiny, they are both cute, I really want to see "When in Rome"
Justin Bieber & Kei$ha - this kid said "Beyonce" instead of "Bon Jovi" who does that? and Kei$ha is not 12-teen and looked pervy next to him... I love her tik tok song but i am not sure what i think of her yet... it's not looking optimistic.
Jonas Brothers - soft spoken, one was in goofy glasses (sorry Jonas can't pull off that look imo) and I still think Kevin swings both ways...
Stephen Colbert - He had some good jokes to start off the show.
Miley Cyrus - yawn
Robert Downey Jr. - His crooked glasses made me swoon
Wyclef Jean - I've heard rumours about him and his Haiti campaign and I am not sure if they are true or if I like him anymore.
Norah Jones & Ringo Starr - LOVE her, not sure how appropriate Ringo pointing out how many times she'd won the award was.. maybe he's still high from the 60s say fellow tweeters.
Miranda Lambert - getting fat
LL Cool J - *is* relevent ;) heh heh liked his hat, still has a baby face even tho he's old.
Jennifer Lopez - can't believe she had kids
Ricky Martin & Lea Michele - Hot
Chris O'Donnell - wondered what happened to him, still hot.
Adam Sandler - funny guy.... always fun at awards shows
Ryan Seacrest - always himself, honest, professional (mostly)
Quentin Tarantino - poka-dots excentuate his weight gain, giant shades excentuate his attempt to hide his "im really high eyes" and his gangsta talk to introduce the performance made me laugh... gotta love him.
