I recorded it for dd so I'm watching the recording. Just curious - does Jay-Z really talk and act like he did at the beginning? I've never seen him other than on entertainment websites.

That wasn't really Jay-Z. It was a "comedian" doing an imitation of Jay-Z.

Oh...and I TOTALLY agree with you on Beyoncé. She sings every song the same. It has no beat and rhythm. It's all just random. Maybe put a ring on it does, but everything else is just all over the place. I think she has an awesome voice, but she needs to stick to the song and the rhythm, not jazzing it up and adlibbing it all over.

I ended up turning it off because I just wasn't entertained like I usually am. Maybe I missed some good stuff then?

I recorded it but it seemed to go longer than the TV programed time so it started recording in the middle. I only saw Taylor Swifts performance and for once she wasn't off key.
I will watch (or fast forward through most of it) the rest tonight maybe.

What I don't understand is Beyonce hid her child's face for years, only posting pics every few months of the back of her head, why now does she feel comfortable showing her face???

I think she's trying to deflect all the rumors about them divorcing, by putting the focus on their family. Hey, look how cute we all are TOGETHER!

It probably went over because Beyoncé sang, and paraded around for about 30 mins. no lie.

I watched the repeat because I couldn't sleep- Beyoncé is lovely, has a great voice, etc. But something is just "off", I want her to find a way to mature & use her talents. Her earliest fans aren't teeny bopper age anymore either.
I guess I AM OLD making statements like this, but if she really wanted to be role model and empowering she'd stop grind/twerk/pulsing and show off her real talents - voice and perhaps brain.
Yes. I understand no one is obligated to be a role model, but I believe she's said she hoped to be.
Did anyone else think Miley was fake crying when The Homeless Teen read his speech? I was onboard until he directed everyone to Miley's FB page...
Yes, old and cranky

Maybe while Beyonce has aged, her alter ego Sasha Fierce has not?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally !!! someone who feels the same way about Beyoncé as I do. I swear that woman can't hold a note to save her life. Every song is all over the place. She sings off beat. I just can't stand her. And don't get me started on her "dancing". Beyoncé fans, flame away

I will watch (or fast forward through most of it) the rest tonight maybe. Actually - they replayed this on one of the local radio stations this morning and they said that somehow on tv, they played the track to the song, but live, they had Taylor singing over the track and the played parts of it and she was out of tune and out of breath. As much as I try to dislike her, then she goes and spends a whole day with a little kid in the hospital with cancer, dancing and singing badly but totally making their dreams come true so it's hard to hate her. Out of tune or not, she has more talent in her little finger than I do.

I want to know what was going on with Nikki Minaj's dress in Bang Bang. Apparently she ran out of time to fasten it before her part came up on Bang Bang. But seriously, if she had just ran up on stage with nothing on, I would have just figured "Oh that's just Nikki being Nikki". Lol

Me too! I seriously thought she was going to let her dress go at the end of the song and show off her Bang Bangs. (With some tasteful and strategically placed pasties of course. ) I really did think that was a planned part off the show at first.

I said that to hubby too and he was immediately intrigued at what I was watching, although he had no idea who was singing. LOL!

I totally was waiting for her dress to be pulled off to reveal something skimpy.. it didn't happen...lol

I heard on one of the entertainment shows tonight that she didn't have time to get the zipper up and that the same thing happened during rehearsal. Um, if it happened during rehearsal you should have done something about it or quickly decide on another costume. I have no doubt she planned on pulling a Janet Jackson move and either chickened out or producers were onto her and were warning her in her ear.
I know that the VMAs are usually full of vulgar stunts but I found Nikki's routine to be just vile. If she had any real talent she wouldn't need to act that way. I didn't watch much of the show. So glad I missed Beyoncé. Can't stand her either.
