          I was just sitting here like why does Onika (I’m can’t give her Nicki anymore) look like the cloud from the Jimmy Dean Sausage commercial with the sun gives the cloud a breakfast sandwich and it goes from being sad to floating away. I mean…and the BEST part is the lady from the choir at the end ACTUALLY singing. Also, call her the PinkPrint…in the words of Pattilahelle’s Beyonce voice “I had to check my husband’s pulse cause I’m nobody’s widow” SMH

          Gurl, you stay being the first to post about Nicki. You know you been a fan. But you didn’t come for her rapping just her singing…ok, there’s growth there on your part. I’ll give you that.

      One word: PINK! This woman seriously does not get enough credit. An actual performance!! By far the best performance of the night.
      Kelly Clarkson sounded great.

      Pink is just impeccable. A true ARTIST. Lots of people out now are wonderful singers but she is an all around artist who is ACTUALLY creative and brings something new and different everytime.

      Kelly is just a great singer. So effortless and easy for her to sing throughout her range.

      Christina, the performance concept of her medley was great but her wardrobe choice are starting to become recycled and that voice NEEDS to be recycled cause lord knows its been overused in all the wrong ways.

      Hmmmm – Justin Bieber was the biggest surprise. He KILLED that dance routine. His acoustic at the beginning wasnt too bad either. Props.

      i’m v impressed @ Bieber’s performance although he sounds slighty limited vocally at some parts of his performances. He improved his dancing

      Christina Aguilera was such a disappointment. She was incredible on the “sandy” tribute. She killed beautiful. But what happen here…..her voice as horrid. she looked a mess (it’s evident they thinned her out in the “body” video because she is still huge). But the biggest disappointment is she BOAST on her vocal skills but she had none. Usher and this lipsinging at 35 years old, ok usher just do us a favor and stand still and sing like we know u can. PINK was a revelation as usual. She is just under-rated. Nicki Minji’s two mintues of fame is OVA. Plastic Plastic Plastic and fake.
