56. Probably because it sucked and people expected better

Some of her videos are really well done.

In this case: Her hair sucked, her outfit sucked, her singing sucked, everything about that number was a train wreck.

Still like her, check out her tweets and such time to time (although this one was a bit weird: Having a moment with Boo ❤ http://instagram.com/p/dc7AieQzFC/# )

She seemed liked a talentless hack. I liked Lady Gaga's performance better and I don't even like her music all that much (I don't go out of my way to listen to it).

Glad she had fun. I think she is trying to find her way and is having a blast doing it but she didn't exhibit any real talent last night.

Just another old dude's opinion.

PS--- Music VIDEO awards. Where were the videos?

She commited the ultimate sin Xipe Totec Aug 2013 #1
