      @zilrog-diggidy76~~lol~~I know, right~~They said worst??...I've been watching the Grammy's like 4ever now~~But not so much these last few or more years only because today's music has gotten really bad~~Some artists are o.k. but there are a lot of them who have performed and were totally disgusting to the point that if my children were still young I would not let them watch~~I won't mention any names but many feel the same way~~This list was not really that bad at all~~Mishaps for singers happen all the time~~Adele and Stephanie I adore~~Well I'll just say even if I'm not much of a fan of most of this group, I would NOT consider them being "The Worst"~~Something is really wrong with people today~~Apparently they just were bored and picked names or groups out of a hat and put a false title on it to het more views~~You're so right about them struggling to fill "Top 10 Worst Moments"~~lol~~Have a great day/nite and stay safe~~🤣🤣🤣~🙃🙃🙃~

    It seems a bit unfair to include Harry Styles’ performance on this list seeing as how it was the Grammys production’s fault that the stage started spinning in the wrong direction.

I think he still put on a good performance despite how stressful I’m sure that was.

    WatchMojo can you please do research on Milli Vanilli instead of constantly taking jabs at them when you have them featured in your videos?? First Robert Pilatus is no longer here, he passed in 1998 due to a drug relapse over this lip-synching backlash. 😢 There’s much, much more to the story; the ones who SHOULD be getting the backlash is their manager, Fabrice Morvan who specialized in only wanting lip-synching groups, the ppl who did the singing & made money off of it but blamed Milli Vanilli still for “dulling their shine”, Clive Davis who FULLY supported the lip-synching, AND the GRAMMYS who KNEW what was going on BEFORE awarding Milli Vanilli the Grammy.
    So they knew (the Grammys) about the lip-synching & STILL awarded them the Grammy!!! Then their slimy greedy sleeze of a manager ran to the press to “confess” & clear his name. Milli Vanilli took all the heat. I blamed them too…until I learned the truth; plus that is a different world!! Us regular folk aren’t celebrities!!! Why do we try to treat them to the same rules?? They live by different rules & contracts. The Diddy situation should teach you that if anything else!! It’s all a lie! I will NEVER respect the Grammys again. If they can be lowdown like that, think of how many deserving artists they pass up for “wheeling & dealing” with management teams & big bosses. Get out of here with that ish. If Milli Vanilli are guilty of anything, it’s being too young, too naive with stars in their eyes, wanting fame too much too soon with no one too look out for them, & trusting leeches instead of ppl that had their true interests at heart. Just very, very sad! Shame on you SCAMMYS & CLIVE DAVIS!!!

    Sorry, but the Milli Vanilli "performance" was the absolute worst. It was so blatantly obvious the guys were lip-syncing the song because there was not one single point where their voices ever faltered despite all the hopping around they were doing on stage. It takes years of constant practice to dance AND sing without breathing issues being apparent and these guys were NOT trained vocalists to begin with. (Just try doing a little running in place or a set of jumping jacks while singing anything for just 1 minute and see how "off" your singing sounds.) Stage productions tend to limit the heavier choreography to the background singers (who may not actually be doing any vocals anyway) while the leads are performing much less strenuous choreo and if/when the leads are doing some major-league choreo, it's usually during an instrumental section with enough time so they can literally catch their breath before having to belt out more music.

    Notice that these "worse" performances are from the last 20 years? Thats because these "artists" are crap and so is the music being put out. I miss the old days when there were artists with true talent. I only listen to music from the 60's to the early 90's. the rest is just awful. There are a few, VERY FEW, that still make anything worth listening to. Also, I've never understood why people think Lopez is so great.

    Jesus. Some of these picks are questionable to say the least. Metalliica/Gaga was handled super well with improvised mic sharing and they ended up airing the rehearsal the day before anyway, which was great. That was never going to be an all timer, but it's super weird to have this on the list, as were many other performances.
    I also wasn't the biggest Nicki fan at the time. That performance was blatantly trying to outdo Gaga's 2009 VMA Paparazzi performance, but it still was camp and succeeded at what it set out to do. Is it #1 simply because of the nature of shock art? This list is weird, but at least Milli Vanilli isn't #1 for once (even if it probably deserved it).

    1978 was not a good year for mainstream music so it’s not surprising that some of the Grammy performances weren’t very good either. Rod Stewart was not at his creative peak prancing around in pink and leopard skin spandex singing do ya think I’m sexy. The answer is no Rod. Years later his daughter watched the video and said dad, what were you thinking?

    The David Bowie 'tribute' was all about Gaga. Either they should have had a different performer or they should have limited the number of songs. None of that catastrophe can be laid at Nile Rogers feet.
    The tribute at the Brit Awards was very good. They had the band that had backed up Bowie play some songs and then Lorde came out and sang Life on Mars.
