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.
