AMA winner Fergie opened the show last night with a medley of her latest and greatest hits. It was a strong start for a show that definitely included some memorable performances including glow in the dark dancer, Chris Brown and Rihanna who looked way better on stage than on the red carpet. Beyonce dressed down when she joined Sugarland for a duet of her hit Irreplaceable. Sexy Lenny (yes I have a huge thing for him) wore his usual all black as he sang a soon to be hit song from his new album. My favorite performance of the night was Alicia Keys (check out the video below). Not only was her voice killer but the songs she mixed together definitely got the crowd on their feet. She is a wonderful performer and even if I'm not used to seeing her do choreographed dance moves, she pulled it off. We have a feeling her album is going to knock Jay-Z off the top spot this week.
For a lot more pics including a shirtless Kid Rock who showed off his soft side as he sent his condolences to Kanye, those High School Musical kids, Celine, Mary J, video of Alicia's awesome performance and more just read more

1ley, i was thinking the same thing
2Alicia performance was hott! I loved it when she was getting her Dance Hall dancing on, she can move!
3Will we knock Chris Brown for lip synching or do we just reserve that for the female pop stars?
4Alicia had the best performance of the night in my opinion. Although I didn't see the first part of the show.
Boy - American Idol cleaned up eh?
5I agree, Alicia's performance was off the chain!
6I caught the show this morning, it was rather okay.
sad that Linkin Park lost to Daughtry.
and Avril Lavigne isn't dead!!!
Beyonce was superb!
7omg.. alicia keys has amazing pipes. i dont know other young artist who can sing live that well
8Alicia Keys outfit was UGLY , i thought.. i liked fergies performance best.
9Alicia Keys was so great! LOVED her performance , especially the reggae part! Never thought I would hear those songs on an awards show.
That part with the American Idol girls and Jimmy Kimmel doing the soulja boy was HILARIOUS! Jordin was doin it tho!
And I can't knock Chris Brown for lip synching - he was expending as much energy dancing as if he was runnign a 400 or something lol.
10haha.. even alicia dances better than britney at vmas
11yeah agree alicia's performance was hot! they certainly broke it down with all the reggae - did u see how many people were going crazy for it in the crowd? even Akon was gettin down!
12Fergie and a long list of other were horrible... Lenny K. rocked it, as well ms. keys
13I did not love Carrie's dress - it looked like bits of toiletpaper stuck to her!
14Didn't get a chance to watch it...but that's what today will be dedicated to
15FYI, Kid Rock showed his softer side by supporting the troops, Usher sent his condolences to Kanye. Also, it's called a medley, not a melody when you combine multiple songs into one. Seriously girls...makes me wonder what else I read on here that is incorrect.
16Alicia's performance was HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!
She's a real artist not like these lip synching pop farts! I love that she gave Chaka Demus and Pliers, Junior Reed, and Beenie Man the stage. All those songs were the ish back in the day. That was hot APPLAUSE for Alicia!!!
17Rihanna looked good in her performance dress, good thing she kept it on for the rest of the show.
can understand why Chris brown was lip-synching - he was givin it all when dancing, but it still doesn't look good( the synching not the dancing - that was off the chain!)
18I missed most of this last night (tuned in for a brief second to see Justin Chambers--hee--and Alicia Keys, who is always awesome)--what did Maroon 5 sing?
19My hubby said the same thing about Fergie....she was sporting a bit of a pooch. I don' think they make Spankx that short yet!!
20can her skirt get any shorter?
21I love my girls, Beyoncey, Alicia, Rhianna's dresses, they have awesome figure that rocks the dresses. They all look beautiful and smoking hot. Blair underwood and Taye Diggs took my breath away, fine specimen of male hotness. Great performances from Chris, Beebee, Rhianna, Alicia etc.
22Blair Underwood and Taye Diggs are waaaaaaay to pretty for me! Don't like either, especially Taye.
23VERY interesting that ladies are quick to judge the female lip synchers, but not the male.
24Alicia and Fergie were the best performance.
25vanessa hudgens is so precious it hurts
26Yes, let's knock Chris Brown for lipsynching! If we did it to Britney back when she DANCED, then yeah, I agree the men should be downgraded for it also. BOOOOO!!! If Beyonce can do it, so can you.
Alicia Keys RULES...She is just the best out there right now.
