1. Jennifer Lopez (????) introduces Green Day as "a couple of punks" and ironically proceeds to talk about the new "American Idiot" BROADWAY MUSICAL. Ha!
2. A very cheesy synthesizer opens up 21 Guns, their new song, but instead of Green Day singing, it's this woman from the musical! Whaaa?
3. A friggin' choir (!!!!) comes in to back up the woman. The song sounds totally out of place, even though it's a pop song in every sense of the word. Still no Green Day.
4. Finally after at least TWO MINUTES of this, the curtain opens and Green Day sings ONE VERSE before the woman resumes. The choir keeps singing throughout.
5. Song ends, audience is confused, and I don't know my ass from a whole in the ground anymore.
Honestly it was one of the strangest most ridiculous performances I have ever seen. I still don't know what anybody was thinking when they green-lit that one...

That is pathetic, I hate when artists do this. It's a complete waste of bloody time.
