  1. Madonna really proved what a professional she is, obviously hurt she got up and carried on like nothing had happened and nailed it.

  2. Madonna had another memorable awards moment: MTV Awards did a live post-show interview with Madonna, and when Courtney Love wandered by, the host tried to interview both, but a visibly freaked-out and panicking Madonna looked uncomfortable, and couldn’t wait to flee for the hills. 😱
    And Kanye West and you DIDN’T choose “George W. Bush doesn’t care about black people” (and Mike Myers’ incredulous stares and attempt to cover) from the Hurricane Katrina benefit?

  3. The one that you missed that was the biggest live tv disaster is the Miley Cyrus twerking with Robin Thicke on his song Blurred Lines. That was very cringeworthy disaster that they both got back lashed from. I would not count the earthquake as a disaster since the teams did played the world series after all.

  4. The Milli Vanilli producer threw them under the bus after that. But nobody realized this but he was also the singer behind the Boney M group, and he hired a male model to lipsync to the songs on tv and in concert. That info came out after the Milli Vanilli incident.
    Sinead O'Conner was a victim of Cartholic priest abuse.
    Janet Jackson was looking at Justin Timberlake like she wanted to kill him after he pulled that.
    Beyonce won later that night, and she stepped aside from doing the winning speech, and she called Taylor Swift onto the stage for her to do her proper speech. Even Beyonce was not too happy with Kanye that night.

  5. All this happened & I don’t remember seeing most of it. Because I was always outdoors doing something. There wasn’t internet. So I stayed busy outdoors most of the time. I watched cartoons & music videos on tv at night before bed.
    In the 80’s. The incidents after the 80’s. I seen those. lol

  6. Sinead told the truth and she suffered all the pain. I don't think it was not being a pop star that hurt more, as she really never stopped putting out some great stuff, it was the mental toll of fame then persecution by everyone that cause the most damage to her. But fans won't forget her for sure…..

  7. People need to stop pretending Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake didn't plan that stunt. It went with the performance. They acted like it was an accident when they realized people didn't like it.

  8. “Ashley Simpson will never live this down”. That’s because WM constantly brings it up, and makes the same lists over and over again.

  9. Sinead O’Connor the biggest name in music?! Even at the height of her popularity, this is an overstatement.

  10. The wardrobe malfunction with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake should not have been blamed on Janet Jackson. Why blacklist her? Justin Timberlake didn't suffer infamy like she did. Not at all fair in my opinion.

  11. The shit Janet Jackson got for the “wardrobe malfunction” that wasn’t even her fault is utterly astonishing! People should be ashamed of themselves for the hate she received! 🤬

  12. O Conner was right!!
    And those goldigger players wives during the earthquake crying because they couldn't spend their millions anymore. Lol
