Wow, Kelly Clarkson has gained a LOT of weight. Taylor was out of order…I was thinking they screwed him yet again. And where’s Cook? ---

Cook is at a charity event elsewhere, according to random people posting on MJ’s blog. He apparently said “Charity before publicity,” according to some tweet from someone I’ve never heard of. ---

The Donkey Butt is back, making my husband a happy camper. He was very upset when she started covering it up. ---

Wow, Janet looked amazing. Now that’s how you do plastic surgery (assuming she’s had work). Edit: Lee, you _ain’t_ no Joe Cocker. ---

Janet looked great, love the short hair, her performance bored the livin’ crap outta me. Bet some one simulposts the exact opposite opinion! ---

Wow, Joe Cocker is old. He still sounds good, though. ---

It’s been pretty obvious all night long who the guests would be by the song the contestant was singing. But they really fooled me with With A Little Help From My Friends cuz half the Beatles are dead. ---

Janet looked and sounded great. My son is amazed Joe Cocker is white, which is cracking me up somehow. The coke commercial with the history test rocks, btw. ---

It was nice to hear a Sufjan Stevens tune. And boy did Joe Cocker let himself go or what? If I saw this guy walking down the street I would have no idea who he was. ---

> [@Queen\_Tonya](#): > > My son is amazed Joe Cocker is white, which is cracking me up somehow. I’m 32, and I had the same thought. I always thought he was black. Never saw him perform before tonight. Oh, and nice oops on the cut back… ---
