Here's my rundown of the night -- with NO biases whatsoever...
1. Christina Aguilera
"Beautiful" was not good at all. The vocals were terrible. "Keeps Gettin' Better" brought the performance to life. "Genie In a Bottle" really set the par for the rest of the medley. "Dirrty" was okay. "Ain't No Other Man" = EPIC. "Fighter" wasn't too bad of a performance.
2. Old Men on the Sidewalk
At first it went sort of alright, but then they tried to act like they were in their 20s and teens again, which they aren't. The singing was horrible except for low parts of the songs.
3. P!nk

I'm a P!nk stan and all, but, really, you can't deny this was an EPIC performance from P!nk. The fog really set it off! Although, the pink dress threw me for a loop.
4. Taylor Swift

These are some of the best vocals I've heard from her in forever! She really nailed it!
5. Ne-Yo
I loved it! I wasn't expecting to actually like it as much as I did. The choreography was amazing. The whole ending part was just fantastic!
6. Leona Lewis
I was really hoping she'd try to push out a high note here or there, but she never did.

I mean, yes, she hit some great powerful notes, but nothing like what you get in "Bleeding Love". She still did good, though.
7. Miley Cyrus
The most entertaining performance of the night. She may not be the best live vocalist, but she known exactly how to wow the audience and keep the eyes on her! I actually wasn't expecting her to pop out of nowhere in the beginning or those creepy billboard things to pop out.
8. Coldplay
I seriously kept waiting for the guy to go into a seizure. The choreography here was just too... strange! However, one of the pieces of confetti got caught in Rihanna's towel dress thing when she accepted an award... hilarious!
9. Mariah Carey
She's Mariah. Always brings us with the vocals, but she just can't seem to keep me interested. She needs to do something. The song actually wasn't bad, though.
10. The Fray
Could anyone understand what the hell he was even saying? First, back up from the microphone. Second, pronunciate a little better. It was an okay song. It's what I'd expect from them.
11. Beyonce
The performance was... interesting. She had to have been lip synching, though. I REALLY wished she would of performed "If I Were a Boy" over this crap.
12. Jonas Brothers

HORRIBLE! TERRIBLE!

Tone deaf little tweeny boppers.
13.The Pussycat Dolls
Nicole actually did good for "I Hate This Part"! It was really good! The transition between that and "When I Grow Up" though was just as bad as Jonas Brothers!

But, they pulled it off in the end.
14. Annie Lennox
CLOSE YOUR MOUTH! You don't need to open your moth so damn wide just to say a word! Kind of a boring performance.
15. Natasha Bedingfield
I hate the way they did "Soulmate". It just sounded off. "Unwritten" sounded great acoustic! "Pocketful of Sunshine" = EPIC!

The ending, where she just started adlibing, was AMAZING! She hit notes I had never heard her do before! Why hasn't radio picked up on this chick yet?
16. Rihanna
First off, WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE WEARING! So what are we know, a millionaire pirate?! What does that have ANYTHING to do with "Rehab"? I feel she did put on a better performance this time than "Disturbia" on the VMAs.
17. Kanye West
First time I had ever heard this song. He is actually really good live, but the song is too boring for me.
18. Sarah McLachlan & P!nk
The song gets on my nerves so quickly, but DAMN! P!nk killed it! Her voice matched perfectly with Sarah's and it fit the song so well! Flawless!
19. Alicia Keys, Queen Latifa, and some Spanish Opera Chick
I feel the performance was really good. I loved what Queen was singing about! If you listened to the lyrics she wasing singing about Michelle Obama and Barack's grandmother! EPIC LYRICS! Opera Chick? Well, she was just out of place for the song? WTF was she doing on there for?
