hehe, what about that guy who climbed to the top of one of the decorations while Limp Bizkit was getting his award! I thought that was hilarious! Hehe, Lil Kim wearing that pasted purple shell over her nipple, and Diana Ross coming out and jiggling Kim's boob on stage, will forever be sketched in my mind. Oh and I loved the performance with P. Diddy and Sting! The micheal jackson kiss was just...ewwww....and madonna should be no. 1 cuz she is.
