Um... WTF. Why is Adele not on this list?!?!?!? Her performance of "Someone Like You" in 2011 was life-changing for me, it should totally be on here.

That "Disturbia" performance was kind of a mess tho.
Visually, it was great, but on the vocal side?

It's no shade but that Paparazzi performance is so overrated. I never got the hype about it.

Not sure why Rihanna is on the list twice, it must be a typo. But go ahead Mrs. Carter I see you!
