For those of you that didn’t watch the MTV Video Music Awards, you didn’t really miss much. Kanye behaved himself, Beyonce showed off her baby bump and Lady Gaga got in touch with her masculine side. But for the most part, the show was pretty lackluster. Just in case you’re curious, here’s a quick rundown of my favorite moments and disappointments.

>>Most entertaining performance of the night: Chris Brown

Hey remember when Chris Brown beat up Rihanna? Yeah, I do too, which makes it difficult to admit he kind of killed it on stage. Say what you want about his past (I’ve said a lot), the guy brings it on the dancefloor. The choreography, the flying and the weird Wu Tang and Nirvana tribute all seemed to work. It was fantastic, even if he’s a horrible boyfriend.

>> Cutest moment of the night: Beyonce announces pregnancy

The night was atwitter with Beyonce pregnancy rumors but nothing was cuter than watching Jay-Z celebrate as she ended her performance with a smile and a belly rub.

>>Biggest disappointment: Amy Winehouse tribute

Amy Winehouse is without a doubt an inspiration to many of the blue-eyed soul singers making the rounds these days (I’m looking at you Adele.) So when MTV announced they’d be paying tribute to the late vocalist, I pictured a Christina Aguilera/Adele/Kelly Clarkson-type tribute. Bring out some of today’s best young vocalists to do a medley of her most moving ballads. Instead, we got the incredibly average Bruno Mars doing “Valerie.” Don’t get me wrong, “Valerie” is a great song but when you’ve got “Love Is A Losing Game,” “I’m No Good,” and “Back to Black,” to choose from, it just doesn’t compare.

>> Worst acceptance speech: Britney Spears

It seems like every year, MTV is hellbent on giving Britney Spears some kind of award. I get the fact that she’s a legendary pop superstar, but I refuse to believe she’s as relevant now as she was in 2001. This year, they gave her the Video Vanguard award, and the stoic 30-year-old read every single word of her acceptance speech from a teleprompter. Wow, you can read Britney! Awesome!

>>Kleenex moment of the night: Adele’s performance of “Someone Like You”

“Someone Like You” is one of the most gut-wrenching songs I’ve ever heard. Watching Adele do a stripped down performance reminded me that you don’t need to dress up like a man, wear a giant cube on your head, or smash a guitar to wow an audience. Sometimes, all you really need is an amazing voice.

>> Most awkward: Lady Gaga

I gotta hand it to Gaga. She knows how to make an entrance. But I still can’t decide if her drag performance will go down in history as awesomely terrible or awesomely genius. Sure, there were moments where I wished she’d drop the Pony Boy shtick (the second and third time she was on stage) but I gotta give her credit for doing something no other pop star has ever done (except maybe Madonna when she was the groom in the Britney/Madonna/Christina wedding.) She seriously does not give a crap what anyone thinks, no matter how terrible it might be.

>> Honorable mentions:

>> Britney and Man Gaga almost shared a smooch on stage.

>> Jonah Hill addressed his haters with a hilarious monologue about his weightloss

>> Bieber thanks God, Jesus, still looks like a girl

>> Katie Holmes was there
