Chris Brown performed a medley of his hits from, F.A.M.E including “Yeah 3X” and “Beautiful People” and also danced up a storm. He also flew around the venue suspended from wires.

Beyonce sang and danced to “Love On Top” from the certified platinum 4. Amazing performance. Even pregnant she continues to be unstoppable. Loved the belly rub at the end.
Adele performed the haunting, “Someone Like You” from the multi-platinum and critically acclaimed 21. Beautiful performance, but I felt like I was at a funeral wondering where the repass would be and who was making the potato salad.

Lady Gaga did her best Joey Badacufo impression and performed the fourth single, “You And I” from Born This Way. She was also joined on stage by Brian May of the legendary rock band Queen. Honestly, I’m over Gaga and her antics, but she sounded great.
