PRINCE AND BEYONCE!!
The whole performance was great, they should do that again sometime. But for the fact of the matter, If it wasn't for Prince and Beyonce opening up first with that bomb act, I wouldn't have even bothered watching it, it was so sorry. I mean, No body..No body was as good as Prince and Beyonce. And i thought George Clinton was really going to funk it up for us but...It was more like funkin it down. I understand that the man is getting old, but that fool was about to fall down them steps, i'm tellin you. I know I'm comin a little late with this post but still, It was a great performance. I still wish Janet would have gotten to come. Justin is an complete f*ck. I mean, How can he be Janet's friend one minute then the next, he's blaming everything on her. He had the nerve to show up and that how Christina commented on Janet, when her breast was about to fall out of her own damn dress, come on now, be serious. Justin deserved to be booed of stage but why was it everyone was treating him like nothing happened. He just straight dogged, Janet and still had the nerve to show up, but oh no!! Janet couldn't go but he could, see.. *sigh*

That's what I'm saying the grammy's just arn't what they use to be.

i was shocked that justin timberlake put on such a good performance musically. who knew he could play keys? although the stuff he was playing was not too difficult, i can play that and i am not a keyboardist. but it was good.

outkast was pretty good too. once the marching band came out, it got real tight.

the warren zevon segment got me choked up.

and i got a kick out of the technical difficulties while celine dion was singing.

prince separated himself from everyone else, though.

1. Janet gave a statement that she decided to do this lame "costume reveal" after final rehearsals for the show were over, and without even telling MTV about her plan. What makes you so sure she told Justin about what she was going to do? He may have thought he was only going to be exposing her bra-covered breast(s) when he ripped off that piece of her top, and not exposing the practically naked one (oh can't forget the huge nipple jewelry so I guess technically it wasn't completely "bare"). Maybe she played him for the fool so she could pull off her stupid stunt. And if that's the case - and who **really** knows the full truth about this incident anyway? everybody, including Justin and Janet, have done so much backpedaling or lying or mealymouthed "explanations" for what happened - then maybe Justin is a bit pissed at Miss Jackson for including him in her dumb scheme and doesn't appreciate it OR the resulting media bloodbath.

2. Janet could have come to the Grammys if she'd agreed to apologize ON AIR for her dumb stunt but she wouldn't do that, and actually I give her more credit for not giving in and apologizing than I do for her lame idea of flashing her tit. At least she's showing she's not going to back down and apologize for doing what she did. I can respect that even if I think what she pulled at the Super Bowl bordered on desperate.

Justin's willingness to apologize on air - which he did - so that he could attend the Grammys has NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT JANET COULD ATTEND. They were both given the chance to come if they agreed to apologize..Justin agreed, Janet didn't.

So, no, I don't think Justin was "dogging" Janet, although maybe he is a bit pissed at her for unwittingly involving him in her ploy for attention.
