Only Adele's performance was nice.

DEATH @ all the Lady Gaga references.

Rihanna - Biggest letdown
After Rihanna's heavily choreographed and highly energized performance of "We Found Love," her melodramatic duet with Chris Martin was OK, but it's Coldplay's performance of "Paradise" that was, well, anything but. They may have glowed in the dark, thanks to some very talented street artist stagehands, but Martin's whiny, off-key vocals hardly glowed. Grade: C-

That Nicki performance

I don't even know why she went there. Forget about the Catholic Church possibly coming for her blonde wig; the monsters now have more to hold against her.

And Chris Martin is a terrible singer. There is something wrong when Rihanna drags you on stage.

Why did Rihanna get shat on for Chris Martin's crappy performance?

Katy deserved an A tbh, she was AMAZING. great vocals, great stage presence, overall great performance! and the pyro was fun too!

I wouldn't go that far. I'm not a fan of Katy and her performance wasn't THAT bad either, it was just... I don't know. It's just old. People complain about gimmicks in performances and that they are tired but personally, I get tired of hearing the same thing over and over. It wasn't so much the performance as it was the song.

E! online best and worst moments:

Worst Trick: Katy Perry's performance seemed to break down in the middle, but it was just a clever ruse that turned into a flame-thrower of a performance.

Worst Spectacle: As much as we like the rap pixie, Nicki Minaj offered up a Lady Gaga-lite scary religious movie that was way too long, kinda silly and way annoying coming so late in the show. But hey, at least she can always ask her Pope-date for absolution!

That critical acclaim just won't let up

Ban this troll

I think the F was harsh but it really wasn't anything but a gimmick. Blue hair and fire and glass with horrible vocals. Come on now.

EW's review of Nicki's performance mentions her name 2nd

When the performance slate for the Grammy Awards came out, it was a little bit surprising that Lady Gaga was not included on the list. Who would pick up the over-the-top theatrical slack with Mother Monster sitting on the sidelines?

Nicki Minaj was happy to fill in.

E! actually praised Katy's performance calling it a "flame thrower of a performance"

Rihanna and Coldplay totally knocked their Grammy performance out of the park when it came on about one third of the way through the big show this evening in LA. Rihanna kicked things off with a solo rendition of "We Found Love," which she accompanied with her signature super sexy dance moves.

The laser lights, LED screens and synths kicked up soon enough, though, and Rihanna welcomed dancers to the stage and lit into a high-energy performance of the dance smash that kept with the feel of the song, devolving into a full-on rave, with the pop star front and center.

These while you're add it too.

LOL at Coldplay.. They were great as always and the ITUNES chart seems to agree with me. so DIE!

[Canonical Ensemble]

From E!

Worst Comparison: For us, the Coldplay-Rihanna performance was completely overshadowed by Willie Nelson singing the band's song "The Scientist" in that Chipotle ad.
