The whole thing was an embarrassment, IMO.
Now we have stages in the middle of TS with a very small, hand-picked audience directly in front (all scions of the 1%, no doubt).
Sorry if I offend anyone's tastes, but just what is the Bieber boy's appeal anyway? You call that singing??
....and what in hell's name was Carlos Santana doing up there?? He looked like he was lost!
Add in the sorry spectacle of watching Dick Clark fade away and you have Entertainment Tonight!
