    And man, does she deserve it! I love this girl. She has more strength in her pinky than all the haters and bad-wishers have combined.

    I saw Brtiney's show in San Jose and it was bad. She did not connect with the audience at all, seemed like she did not really want to be on tour and one of the only moments she spoke to the audience she said what's up Sacramento. Talk about being out of it - eally disappointing. I have a hard time listening to any of her music now. :-(

    I cannot believe they are having Russell Brand as a host... I cant stand him and he is not funny at all.. Now i doubt if I'll watch the show. Congrats to Britney on the nominations and I hope Eminem takes home the moon men for his categories
