We’ll probably do more fashion posts later, but let that photo of Christina Aguilera up there be a preview of just how disappointing this awards show was. That dress is terrible, isn’t it? What year does she think she’s in?

What a mess, right? I can’t believe Justin Bieber won that many awards. And since when is Rihanna a Soul/R&B artist? And why is Linkin Park winning an award in 2012? What does it all mean?
