So b4 you get to it. Have a little listen to the studio and live versions.

I have alot to say. I will only talk about the live version, cuz the studio one doesn't matter, it's edited. Also, I will concentrate on vocals and on a separate note Beyonce's beehive is hilarious.

Assuming you watched both versions, you will obviously noticed mariah's voice has deteriorated. In the studio she can pull of a good D5 belt but in live she has to go back to her falsetto(*head voice) and she cant do her whistles anymore those were playback.

Ok lets see. Some artist you may nvr heard of but i'll just give didactic pointers on who is who.
(Rmbrs live version only)

Mariah- Good but could have been WAY better. She was stoning throughout the whole thing. She had no emotion and not to mention she looked constipated. She has no stage presence and is totally not a good sport.

Beyonce- Hairdo. And wow shes quite a singer nowadays. Abit fake but such a strong stage presence. Not to mention shes got quite a set of pipes. Most importantly, shes no longer stealing the limelight unnecessarily.

Mary J Blige(Black lady with the blonde hair)- WOW. best performer of the night. Strong vocals, emotive and not to mention could hold her high notes*cough Cough Mariah*.

Ashanti- Did she even sing? She was left of Natasha B

Keysha Cole- She fitted with the Divas. Shes the one beside fergie

Miley Cyrus- Oh haha. This one is hilarious why did they clap when she sang? Comparing Rihanna to Miley is like comparing Heaven to bullshit. She sounded SO weird and she looked so happy when by rights she was supposed to look guilty for screwing up a perfectly fine song.

Fergie- Kinda rough vocal, but good on overall

Rihanna- Congrats, from ella I cant spell rihanna, youve turned into emotive and innovative rihanna. Seriously, she could hold her ground and she now has a nice timbre, though still sounds abit thin and forced. She also has good vocal control.

Leona- Amazing vocals, but really was with all the ad libing we didnt need that just do your part. Also, I just find that her voice is very frail, gentle, but sounds like shes singing through her nose of sumthing.

Natasha- KUDOS You managed to pull off an octave change and make it sound good. Did you see Nicole's face when she did her little belt. AWESOME She has a siren voice and needs more lines. And songs that show off more vocals from her.

Carrie- Good as usual but not really impactful

Nicole- She can do way better. I think she had a soar throat or sumthing.

Rmbr to check out the VMAs. Oh wait their over. Check out videos of the VMA performances.
