That was quite possibly the definition of hot mess.

That seemed like it was made out of some choreographer's wet dream... the was the worst mishmosh of musical theatre showcasing ever. What was the f'ing point!

Rob Ashford should be ashamed. Just terrible. And Beyonce just did not look good in that red corset. Not good at all. I guarantee Efrons career will be limited to his youth.

that was EMBARASSING. they were all singing over each other, and i know it was intentional, but it sounded like a series of errors!

beyonce looked bad, and even tho everyone sounded good it was such a horrible mishmash- i was embarassed!

and what the hell was so "musical" about this years movies other than the completely un-nominated mamma mia?

pathetic.

I appreciated it. Also people talking about mixing. I've heard about how hard it is to mix live television. I would never want to do it. I liked how they didn't just perform one song from Mamma Mia, I really liked the inclusion of a lot of stuff. I thought it was put together well.

Oh My God! How DARE they put on a number representing the return of the movie musical with the stars of current musicals?! You guys are right, they had NO business being up there! I hope people at home watching boycott movie musicals now and don't go to see anymore of them because of what they tried to represent up there!

And what was up with the cast of High School Musical singing tonight??? I'm on my knees praying that all those kids out there who are getting into new musicals because of the High School Musical franchise rethink their decision and never see another musical again!

That was PATHETIC!!

I agree 110%, that entire segment was abso-freakin'-lutely horrendous. Why I 'dropped everything to watch' is beyond me. This whole telecast is just 'eh' for me...

Was Beyonce lip syncing? That's all I care about!

The number was bad.

And Zac has no stage presence or real talent, but he's good in movies. He's cute though - he would make a great gay porn star as long as he didn't talk.

Why did Hugh, Zac and Dominic have their shirts on?
I don't get it.

It was a much needed shout out to Broadway!!!! I think I speak for all of us who work on the Great White Way when I say we are happy for the exposure! Times are scarey for us!
