Except for very vew instances, I thought the show was boring and poorly done. During the Tsunami song I kept thinking, they couldn't do better than this?
Ray Charles tribute--that was it?
Mavis Staples--quit all that screaming and just sing.
Jesus Walks--hmmmm, still can't get past some of the stereotyping. Now if it had of been the Essence Awards or BET.....
Usher and James Brown? UGH! The new Godson my foot.
Didn't like Janis Joplin's versions of Black songs anyway, so especially didn't like folx imitating Janis Joplin singing Cry Baby.
Alicia Keys was good but the Georgia On My Mind duet with Jamie Foxx just didn't jell for me.
I just got a feeling throughout the whole show that folx didn't do a lot of rehearsing.
