So it looks like Florence Welch is a very polarizing singer. Everyone seems to either love her or hate her.

It wasn't her singing that turned me off. The whole song and style was just not my thing at all. Her voice sounded nice, I just didn't like what she was doing with it. lol

Florence was good, but I'm not a huge fan of her vocal style.

The great 1. Linkin Park- When Chester is ON... 2. Usher- not the dancer he once was, but his most organized performance ever 3. Kanye- King Kanye does no wrong 4. Justin- yeah it was lipped, but very tight, well done
The good 5. Eminem/Riri- as good as a non Diddy/Kanye rap performance can be, but Riri sounded bad 6. Bruno/BOB/Hayley- BOB was great, meh at Bruno, Hayley was not on top of her game
The OK 7. Florence- great performance/stage/execution but awful song and awful voice 8. Drake/Mary/Beaks- MEH at Drake and Beaks, Mary was good
The bad 9. Taylor- contrived, boring, off key 10. Nicki- terrible, disorganized, stiff, boring

So it looks like Florence Welch is a very polarizing singer. Everyone seems to either love her or hate her. On this forum, it seems that Lincoln Park's performance is a polarizing one as well. I am one of several responders in this poll who happen to believe it was the best performance of the night by far for so many reasons (ambience, vocals, song, energy), but based on some of the responses, some folks seem to have a problem with or are shocked about some of these opinions about Lincoln Park's performance being viewed as amazing. Opinions will differ but some evoke stronger emotions from others for various reasons. I am not sure as to why the performance is as polarizing as it is here - any thoughts ?

Just like Florence, if more or less the song thats polarizing. I think both performances were good, but I love the LP song while I think the Florence song is awful. So, I'm not really gonna be feeling the Florence performance.

Florence and Kanye were the best. Eminem and Linkin Park were okay. Taylor Swift was just awful and what the hell was Minaj doing @ the preshow ?

"smoke and mirrors", etc. Please elaborate on this, if you will. Your previous comments about sexual orientation with respect to Linkin Park's listeners were quite random and nonsensical to me. You chose to quote my statement about Kanye's performance relying on "smoke and mirrors" this time. Therefore, please let us know what you mean with your current response.

Eminem's Not Afraid was pretty epic, but Rihanna ruined it. The other were just

"smoke and mirrors" this time. Therefore, please let us know what you mean with your current response. Mirrors are up for interpretion, but literal smoke, in a fucking cloud, starts at 0:00 and persists throughout. And did Jordan Bratman join the band?

And still better then most. Singing is the only form of entertainment. Hell is it was, Britney would be out of a career. As she should be.

Definitely Drake, Mary, and Swizz. The last verse with Mary doing the backgrounds gave me chills.

Thanks, Mic Technique, lol.... Did you just call me what I think you did? Neally, I'm down for flirting -- by all means -- but let's take it to PM. There are children reading this forum, after all. :kii:
