  • billy r

    i have’nt watched this show in a while and when i do it usually is in ff motion on the tape player. i only watch the performers that i feel will be good. I fast forward through all the country western, all the outrageous rock and the boring acceptance speeches. it seems to be better that way. this show has’nt been interesting since the 80’s and i taped nearly all of those shows on VHS and watched a few. They are great and what fun to look back at that time in life. Now, snoozefest except for Kelly and I can’t wait to see Adam. Now that I will have to watch “live”. He is a phenom.

  • filmsuperdad

    The Man Eminem, Hell yeah
    “There they go, back in stadiums as Shady spits his flow
    Nuts they go, macadamian and they go so balistic whoa
    He can make them look like bozos hes wonderin if he should spit this slow
    f*** no, go for broke, his cup just runneth over oh no
    He aint had a buzz like this since the last time he overdosed
    They’ve been waiting patiently for pinnochio to poke his nose
    Back into the game and they know, rap will never be the same as before
    Bashin into the brains of these hoes, and establishin a name as he goes
    The passion and the flame is ignited, you cant put it out once we light it
    This sh** is exactly what the f*** that I’m talking bout when we riot
    You dealin with a few true villians
    Whose staying inside of the booth truth spillin,
    And spit true feelings until our tooth fillings
    Come flying up out of our mouths now rewind it
    Payback muthaf***a for the way that you got at me
    Hows it taste? when I slap the taste
    Out of your mouth with the bass so loud that it shakes the place
    I’m, hannibal lecter so just incase you was thinkin of savin face
    You aint gonna have no face to save by the time I’m through with this place so Drake” Eminem .

  • filmsuperdad

    this is to all you haters!!

  • anthony salomone

    I am sad that micheal jackson will not be there with him being honor with 5 awards it’s great he’ll win 5 of the awards and they will be given to his kids when they get older

  • facts

    michael jackson shouldnt be eligible for awards for the following reasons:
    1) he was a chile molester
    2)he has little if any new material out the warrants him for these honors
    3) HE IS DEAD.

  • Brynn Benthal

    What was the name of the second song Eminem sang???
