Tra le performance più applaudite c’è senza dubbio Britney Spears (premiata con il Millennium Award.) che è salita sul palco esibendosi con un medley dei suoi più grandi successi. Ottimi anche i riscontri per Rihanna live con “Love On the brain”, Kesha con “It ain’t me babe” di Bob Marley e Celine Dion con “The Show must go on” dei Queen, salutata da una standing ovation.
