Beyoncé
But her flawless performance, a couple unexpectedly adorable reaction shots from Blue Ivy, and seeing the word ''FEMINISM'' being broadcast to a young audience was more than enough. A-
Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora
Clad in matching jumpsuits and surrounded by a troupe of ballerinas in quasi-fetishwear, they came off like a pair of pop-friendly supervillains. B+
Usher feat. Nicki Minaj
He sang, he danced, he even picked up a bass for a second, and his large backing band's horn section seems to have been the first one of the night that actually seemed to be plugged into the PA. A
Sam Smith
As predicted, Smith kept ''Stay With Me'' low-key, with little more than a piano, a backing choir, and his incredible chops. He didn't tap too deeply into the song's pathos, instead preferring to belt his way into the hearts of an audience who deserved a sweet, simple thrill. B+
Worst:
Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and Jessie J
Poor Jessie J. By the time Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj wrapped up the first two acts of this mild disaster, she was all by her lonesome, and ''Bang Bang''—easily the best true song of this opening mélange—was completely lost in the shuffle. ''Bang Bang'' remains a monster, and this cluster bomb shouldn't hijack its momentum—but it sure did try. C–
She's mixed (British/Ugandan) so of course she's hot.

Just watched Usher's performance on youtube. So embarrassing, no wonder he lost the opening slot.
Its so calculating, almost something Madge would/will do when she needs attention.

IT would have been beautiful if that was an actual homeless person/ a black girl.
She is such a disgusting thirsty opportunist.
