Carl Lewis would have been better.

Is it asking too much for somebody to just sing it as it's written?
The riffing and ad-libbing has gotten ridiculous.

They tried to turn it into a hymn with lots of improvisation.

Agree. Makes me miss how Whitney Houston sang it. Now she can't remember the lyrics

I doubt that she remembers the lyrics to
Happy Birthday anymore.

It was written as a drinking song.

Aretha saved it from being a total disaster...Aaron Neville is one weird dude.

How about having the Michigan band go out there and play it without anyone singing. Would have been better than Aretha and Aaron. Neville absolutely without a doubt sucks ass.

I like keeping tradition alive but the Motown thing has run it's course. I don't mind hearing old songs played during bumps going in and out of comercial breaks but these old singers and artists shouldn't be headlining an event like this. It's like watching a great athlete play well past their prime. The Stones are past their prime as artists but they're still a great live act...they were the only ones that didn't embarass themselves tonight.
