2 out of 5

This is why I don't gamble. I picked the right winners, wrong categories. Typical.

WOAH, what a night of performances! There could not have been a better way to start off the show than with those two divas playing piano. Well, unless Michael Jackson was still alive and parachuted out of the sky singing "Black or White" and Macaulay Culkin dancing on stage with Norm from Cheers angrily chasing him around the stage.

21 Guns turned Broadway, P!nk spun in circles on a sheet 30 feet above the stage so many times I can't believe she didn't barf all over the crowd, Taylor Swift showed us how amazing her sound engineers must be to make her voice sound good and on key, Lady Antebellum didn't miss a note despite the curtain getting stuck on the girl's head, Dave Matthews Band tore it up in honor of their late sax player, Bon Jovi was kind of boring, Beyonce was beyond flawless, the rap gang was better than usual thank to Travis Barker on the drums, The Black Eyed Peas reminded me how tired I am of them, The Michael Jackson Tribute was touching (no pun intended), and Zac Brown Band had to have an average performance so the next act looked that much more incredible.

All in all, crazy-good show. Taylor Swift and Beyonce definately aren't my favorites, but they've had a big year and deserve their boatload of awards. I hope these performances keep getting more and more insane as the years go on.
