YESSS!
TAYLOR!
btw jared, will Alessandra Ambrosio (YOUR FAVORITE VS ANGEL) be there?
i would loooove to see her.
love you
its not working!
Is Beyonce going to even attempt to pretend she is singing? She is just walking around throwing her head around and every once in a while decides to put her mic up to her mouth.
LOOOOOOOK FoR THE JONAS BROTHERS!
I WANT CHRISTINA AGUILERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !
TRL is ending??
When did that happen :S
I hope X-Tina’s make up don’t get on somebody’s outfit tonight.
jonas brothers arent there
miley<3
MILEY =)
millleey! awww why isn’t jonas gonna be there =(
miley was pretaped so shes not even there now!?
and idk i dont think jonas is gonna be there, i hope they are!
and i want more taylorswift!!!!
i like vanessa…not so much the girl with the accent though..
oh and WTF!!! no pete wentz =(
ashlee is prolly giving birth
I love how so much on total request LIVE is pre-taped.
I Know seriously. Almost eveything is “pretaped” isn’t it supposed to be “live?” especially for the finale?
Tell Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy that I ******* love him….and that he needs to grow the mutton chops back, I almost didn’t recognize him without them. At least get a picture of him <3 plzzz
whoa jared. you can tell you are pretty hyper over these celebrities. haha.
calm down.
Where’s Mariah? I cannot wait to see her!
when is this suppose to air? Dose Anybody know?
its on right now
hey jared wave to the camera!! :D
haha
in response to the comments about pre-taped segments, with so many celebs having crazy schedules it would be impossible to get them all in new york on one night so by taping some interviews early they are able to get more big names all into one show
So is where is Miley now? Why was it even pre- taped I thought she was gonna be there live. Also are there anymore clips of her?
i dont know where miley is, but i wish i was there right now.
Just Jared = TRL STALKER
hhaahah jk :)
mileys clip wasnt just in the photo booth was it??? im watching now :)
I LOVE the liveblogging! Lots of laughs - v witty :)
are the jonas brothers gonna b there???
no jonas:(((((
where are my bsb?!? lol love me some backstreet makes me feel all 14 again
This is kind of sad..
I mean for the people that always came home after school and watched TRL every day ..
I’ll miss seeing the top 10 countdowns
the crazy awkward moments
the vj’s and the hosts
the funny moments
the unexpected ones.
i mean if you think about it TRL started the careers of britney/christina/nsynch/ backstreet boys ..
and now it’s over.
it’s kind of sad considering TRL really is the ONLY actually music show that they play on MTV..
MTV is becoming just a stupid reality show channel.. TRL was the only aspect that had music in it staying true to what MTV actually stands for .. && now it’s canceled.
:(
sorry for my cheesy moment ahah .. It’s just weird to not see it anymore after watching the show for like sooo sooo many years.
.
WHY IS CHRISTINA UGLYERA INVOLVED?
I HATE HER UGLY A$$
.
I WANT TO SEE HILARY IN BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
OMG r the jonas brothers coming b/c if they rnt i just wasted sooo much of my life and time when i couldve been doing something else.
what do you mean boo hoo??
***** BSB ARE THE BEST!! DONT YOU DARE BOO HOO then! ill boo hoo your ass!
heyy !! im from mexicoo soo , is this live broadcasting anywhere ?? pleasee answerr im beeggginnn !
I understand why they did pre-taping it’s easier since they need breaks besides 5 minutes between commercials.
Great memories, dear god can’t believe it’s ending.
I don’t understand why the Jonas Brothers should be there. Them, Miley, Taylor and all the new younger artists had nothing to do with TRL’s beginning. NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and X-Tina actually have been old enough to remember the last ten years of TRL.
Too bad the Backstreets weren’t there but it makes sense since they’re touring right now.
eh bsb made trl not the other way around…if it wasn’t for all the pop bands in the late 90’s trl would not be where it was today…just sayin give respect where its due…bsb nsync britney those artists made trl and everyone just came along for the ride
THANK YOU JAY, finally someone gets it. TRL did not start the career of the Backstreet Boys or anyone else, BSB were HUGE even before TRL.
the jonas brothers are from ny nj area, they belong to be on here. They were on here this summer for a week cohosting. They are important to this.
i don’t know why everyone is beggin for jonas brothers to be on the finale…what impact have they made on trl…when trl started they were probably 9 yrs old and dont even remember a thing
wow kelly so cuz jonas brother hosted this past summer they should be on trl…no offense but the old school teen pop groups deserve priority over jonas brothers…sorry they are the newbies….jonas bros just barely got famous this past year….nsync bsb they were there for many years
Keep em’ coming!
uhm for those who think jonas brothers should not be on here… they have appeared on trl twice,… so yes they do deserve a right to be on TRL.
Hilary looked amazing tonight. Post pictures of her Jared.
the jonas bros. have no business being on the finale. i don’t even get why they put taylor swift and miley cyrus on, or hilary duff for that matter. it’s supposed to be about people who shaped trl and had a significant impact. the disney crew didn’t have a significant impact over the course of the last 10 years.
soooo glad the jonas brothers werent there. it would have even been nice if miley cyrus wasnt on there but beggars cant be choosers i suppose.
trl=old school….like britney, nsync, bsb, christina…you get the point.
and big deal, the jonas brothers were on trl twice. that def. does NOT mean they should be at the finale.
Britney was number one!
You know i gotta say i didn’t think i’d be sad seeing it go. All the rumors about it leaving, they didn’t hit me. I honestly didn’t care. I stopped watching long ago. I mean I’m 24 now BUT watching those last frew moments and certain parts of the show but especially seeing everyone from the outside the window view. It reminded me of being 14,15 waiting for bsb and nsync videos, voting to see who would be number one and being SOOOO invested in this show. It actually made me really sad that it’s over.
I honestly feel like everyone’s right when they say bsb/nsync/pop made TRL AND TRL made these people. I mean yes they had success before TRL I remember loving them before this Carson fellow came along(and random but i love that he threw LFO under the bus in typical carson near kid rock fashion) BUT if not for TRL and the competition sense it brought and promotion the rabid love people had for pop wouldn’t had been as prevalent. It was like TRL shined a light on all the craziness of that time, and now that the light has been turned off forever the world of music videos and pop at least, honestly will be a little darker.
you hit the nail on the head stef!
jonas brothers suck that is why
thank you so much for posting this! i made a lot of the same comments and felt like i was living the live experience with you!!! im so depressed now that its over…not gunna lie i wanna cry!
sniff sniff!! i cried a little…why did it have to end? there something totally wrong here. If i’d realized tonight was the finale, i woulda been in time square right now… TOTALLY SUCKS… THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE CANCELLED TRL,
but id like to have seen BRIT BRIT there. she should’ve been there
too bad it wasn’t totally live…..
bsb was my highlight!
wooh britney VIDEO NUMBER 1

I’m 20
i stopped watching TRL years ago, just because i was never home when it aired and i wasn’t so into it after the show has hit it’s peak. i recently just started watching it again for about 20 mins every once and a while because i’m getting ready for work when it’s on…But i am sitting here watching the episode for the second time tonight.
i absolutely loved that they brought the old school artists back-BSB, NSYNC, X-TINA & BRIT. i felt like i was 13 again. BSB preformance made my night. i absolutely sang along :] not only were the artists a big part of TRL…but the old school VJ’s…i love that they had all of them back. YAAAY Jesse <3
as for miley jb taylor swift-who the hell you you people think these people are? yes they are the big sensations of today, but they absolutely do not deserve to be on the show. just because they hosted for a period of time, they’ve had more airtime on TMZ than TRL. none of them have contributed to any MTV history so they shouldn’t be there. To them it doesn’t mean the same for their video to be featured on the show than Britney, NSYNC, BSB and X-Tina.
idk. i’m just really sad it’s over…there goes my childhood.
I thought both of Beyonce’s dancers were great! And if you are referring to the white girl, I went to school with her and she was shaking her ass just as much as beyonce so don’t go there.
I come on this morning to read this ;D you people talking about the jonas brothers. -.- of course they weren’t there :] because taylor was there and because they have bigger careers now and forgot about the little people D’: o.o like damien :/ poor guy. :’D

I love beyonce, I think myv is wrong for giving britney no.1 because the chick is a total wreck.To me mtv is a very racist site and it is practically britney spears fansite. Justin was on the air three time and christina twice, my god this time could have went to someone else who didn,t have a chance.
Why are there people on here talking about jonas brother, they had nothing to do with trl exsistance neither miley or tayler.everybody here must be white.
to be honest that show was a pack of b.s and people like jay-z ,lil wayne etc should also be there instead of the little kids that don’t know anything about trl.
i’m glad lil wayne was NOT there. the dude is nothing to MTV. and my complaint of him is far from racist. now that he has all his momey in the bank can he alteadt put forth the effort to lean himself up?
…AND, there were the obvious “black” stars there-Beyonce, Jay-Z, Nelly, Snoop, Luda, and PDiddy. you honestly can’t get bigger than that when it comes to african american artists. i would have loved to see some Destiny’s Child and Alicia Keyes, but i’m sure there was scheduling conflicts. But i thik MTV did a gr job on this
Kid Rock is NO 1
Beyonce tore the paint of the walls!!!
She’s a true performer and her new album is hot!!!
i think we should all protest!!! we should stand outside of the studios and hold up signs like “Carson, let me up!!” haha like the days when it was just him up there and the fans were so LUCKY to get the chance to have him say “lets bring them up!”
i feel bad for the newer generation..their music will only be from itunes and the internet…no more music tv :(
Esmee Denters<3
She comes from The netherlands and me too =D
She’s good!!
And I <3 THE JONAS BROTHERS!!
