It's not as good as it used to be, but then neither is the talent pool. The fact that so MUCH attention was placed on Justin Timberlake

is a testament to this fact.
Loved seeing the Chilli Peppers perform even if they didn't sing the controverseal "Dani California". Loved Mary J Blige's performance along with James Blunt's. And John Mayer's guitar solo was an unexpected treat.
