In near chronological order but probably not exactly:

• Prince is a guitar god. He's also a reclusive wackjob who wears women's shoes, but hey, that shouldn't change the fact that he rules. He brings it. End of story.
• Sometimes I think Xtina does those big vocal numbers just to stick it to Britney. Kinda makes Britney's lip-synched dance numbers seem even sillier than they actually are. Not that I'm complaining about the belly dancing with snakes while [optionally] ripping off your outfit to reveal a flesh toned body stocking or anything - it's just that she can't sing.
• Hey everybody! White people like OutKast! (And I'm one of 'em.)
• JT can play the shy boy better than any other former boy-band member who later went solo and grew a beard than I can think of. The humble smile, the fluttering eyelashes, the shout out to his mom, the appearance with the Black Eyed Peas... genius.
• And talking about the Black Eyed Peas, what was up with the legwarmers on the chick? Are those making a comeback now? Flashdance style? Lordy.
• Sting looks better in a kilt than most other rockers his age. Chicken legs be damned.
• Madonna's fakey British accent makes me laugh every time I hear it.
• Yoko Ono looks bad. Bad like walking death bad. She's like 70, so I should probably cut her some slack, but she's so pretentious I give myself some leeway.
• I think when musicians say things like "don't forget to vote" what they really mean is "don't forget to vote for whomever is running against Bush". And when they say things like "agreeance" what they really mean is "I'm a moron".
• George Clinton getting up in Ellen DeGeneres' face and screaming "WE WANT THE FUNK!"... A little too surreal for me, thankyouverymuch.
• Some old dude came out near the end and lectured the camera about why it's bad to break the law and download music online. Uhh, thanks for respecting the integrity of your viewers, old dude
• Marching bands on stage are always a nice touch.

That's about it.
