Selena scalped by RollingStone, praise Demi and JLo

OK, we need to officially put a moratorium on performances that look like Marilyn Monroe's Gentleman Prefer Blondes. It was brilliant when Madonna did it in 1985, charmingly meta when Taylor Swift recalled it for her 2014 VMA performance, and while it's still not as hackneyed as, say, Star Wars references, we should at least find something else for a pop star to do than descend stairs and be carted around by suitors. Also, those suiters shouldn't mix suspenders, Hammer pants, bad voguing and one tiny top-bun.

As far as child stars go, former Disney sensation and ex-X Factor judge Demi Lovato has been through the ringer — but her fierce performance at this year's AMAs proves she's still in it to win it. This year saw the release of her brazen fifth album, Confident, which also serves as her own Declaration of Independence. Lovato showed moxie while performing the title track last night, channeling the sass of Chicago's Velma Kelly while holding the gothic, carnivalesque vibes of Marilyn Manson's "mOBSCENE" and the shadow-building light wall of Nine Inch Nails' recent tour. Just when we hoped she'd make it weirder, she simply tossed her finger wave curls aside and belted a monster ad-lib, fit for a classic pop diva.

Pop star, actress and booty queen Jennifer Lopez turned heads at last year's American Music Awards, after teaming up with hip-hop pariah Iggy Azalea in a fiery performance of their 2014 single "Booty (Remix)." Last year's show not only affirmed J. Lo's cultural relevance, but earned her a gig as Mistress of Ceremonies for this year's festivities.

Marilyn Monroe's Gentleman Prefer Blondes on Selena's performance?
If anything, Ariana was the one who did that 
we should at least find something else for a pop star to do than descend stairs and be carted around by suitors. Also, those suiters shouldn't mix suspenders, Hammer pants, bad voguing and one tiny top-bun.
They dragged her dancers and the theme. Not actually her but dragTTTTTT itTTTTT!!1!!!

I find it funny how " RS scalped Selena " is the first sentence in the title rather than Demi getting praised 
And Selena is fine, everyone enjoyed her performance and it shows

Worst: Demi Lovato and Alanis Morrisette's Jagged Little Duet
This year marked the 20th anniversary of the album that launched a thousand feminist manifestos: Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. The Canadian singer-songwriter revived her 1995 fight song "You Oughta Know" for the stage, strutting opposite a passionate, vinyl-clad Demi Lovato. It looks perfect on paper, but what should have started with a bang, started with a lag. Lovato conceded much of the vocal space to Morissette, saving her electrifying harmonies for the latter third of the song. Morissette, who has probably performed this song a bazillion times, strided indifferently across the stage, taking the bite out of what should have been a formidable collaboration.
Demi was scalpTTT too! Omg!!!
Why not put her in the titile?

As you can see they didn't drag, they praised her vocals once again actually.

Remember when Rolling Stone draggedT Demi?
Worst: Demi Lovato's Summer Bummer
Nobody can out-Miley Miley. Where Cyrus' twerking in 2013 was campy and goofy, Demi Lovato's hyper-sexual performance of "Cool for the Summer" — in which she popped cherry balloons and murdered a metaphor — came off as crass and too self-aware. Dressed in fishnets and lingerie, the singer opened the performance flanked by backup dancers who looked like marshmallow Peeps and thrusted her crotch. And even though Iggy Azalea's cameo was a mumbly mess, the worst part of the performance came when Lovato climbed into an inflatable raft bound for the audience only to be carried by security guards who wouldn't let the fans near her. It looked like the saddest mosh pit ever.

Oh my! I guess Rolling Stone always spills the tea!
