Performance of the night.
I'm starting to notice a trend in the group of people saying it was boring.

"HIGH: Frank Ocean had not just the most understated performance of the evening, but the best—shades of Adele last year."
http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/awards/...031612644.html
"The nimble singer, whose massive year was every bit as groundbreaking as it was inspirational, delivered a beautiful, albeit restrained, version of 'Thinkin Bout You.'"
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...,6348785.story
"The space-camp-on-fire set was the only overstated thing on stage when the R&B wunderkind unfurled his spare falsetto ballad. Ocean's performance was a little bit Prince, a little bit D'Angelo, and a whole lot of his own quiet-storm charisma. B+"
http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,2030...627757,00.html
"Frank Ocean delivered the night’s most moving performance with 'Thinkin’ Bout You.'"

I didn't find it impressive, but compared to everything else... him falling asleep onstage would likely still be the most exciting performance of the night.

And another one, hmph,
"The musical highlight of this not-very-musical event was Frank Ocean's performance of Thinkin Bout You, where his sincere crooning managed to detract from the temperature-defying set that seemed to resurrect Survivor's tribal council."

Frank's performance was great but I know he can do it better than that. When he performed Bad Religion @JimmyFallon he mades me cry. It was amazing!!!
But if everyone says that he was the best of the night (and he wasn't THAT great) what's that say about your faves performances??
I prefer a REAL artist than just Nickelodeon entertainers...
