In order of what stood out most....What was up with Ashanti????? If you want to show off your legs, wear a short dress! Was she claiming her man when she stepped all over DL's intro for Nelly. She wrecked my last nerve when she said, "I got that good, good". Get off the stage with those silly giggling antics! Then, Lil Kim....besides the face remodel, she now has much in common with Kim Kardashian. The full body makeover of a video vixen. She should think about changing her name. She's no longer little. Yes, the audio was terrible! Alicia should have left the has-been girl groups out of her performance. They've all lost whatever it was they used to have. Usher's lightening was a distraction. Al Green's segment was saved and stolen by Anthony Hamilton. Other notable appearances were Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Nelly.

The entertainment linup was great but the audio on many of the performances was horrible. I would have enjoyed the show much more with better audio.

ne-yo shut it down. dats my dude and u kno he was hot. usher's performance was lame. he could of done better. deres no need to show chris brown and rihanna togetha dat many times. i think we git it now. i already kno erbodi finna b on weezy's ass when he performs but he cant go wrong. dl hugley's jokes need to go back where dey came from cuz he wasnt jumpin off da show from da start and he def. took it too far wit da dick joke. well, ima watch on

Besides the holiday and hudson performance it was a very average show.

The two J'S ( Jennifer Holiday and Hudson )were awesome In their preformance !!!!

2006's rating would be a four star but the Busta Rhymes Performance puts it at a 5.

Monique was a great host last year. Very entertaining. Hope Will and Jada are even more so as hosts of this year's awards.
