Message-wise, 'twas a statement, but overall, it wasn't quite the time nor place. I wasn't affected/moved by her performance like most of the Monsters seem to be in this thread. I felt like she was shouting her message AT me instead of feeling the meaning of her performance herself.
Neither the time nor place? Are you implying that sexual assault doesn't deserve to be brought up at one of the nation's biggest television events? It did nothing but raise awareness, which is never a bad thing.
I almost cried when the survivors walked out on stage. Hard to believe that the "Just Dance" girl with no pants has become such a renowned performer and used her talent for so much positive impact.
