THE 5TH ANNUAL BLOCKBUSTER ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS
        
        The 5th Annual Blockbuster Entertainment Awards started with a performance by Ricky Martin 
with his hit “Livin’ la vida loca.”  There were dancers everywhere and the performance almost looked like 
the music video.  Ricky Martin performed with a lot of energy.
        Besides the performance by Ricky Martin there were other great performances like the 
performance by Sarah Mclachlan.  Sarah Mclachlan sang her hit “Angel.”  She sang and played her piano 
while surrounded by candles that were lit.  Her voice soared amazingly.  Her talent was very visible and the 
song sounded just as amazingly as in her album “Surfacing.”
        Another amazing performance was by the  amazing actress and singer Jennifer Lopez.  She made 
her Primetime Network Television debut singing her hit “If you had my love.”  She wore a very sexy shirt 
and a skirt.  She sang and danced around with some men and women dancers.  
        Tim McGraw also sang an amazing song.  He wore a hat, a sweater, and some pants.  Although 
this performance didn't have anything like dancers or special light effects, he sure got attention.  His 
amazing voice and the lyrics amazed people.
        There was also the amazing performance by ‘NSYNC and Chris Cross.  Many people laughed and 
found it amusing how ‘NSYNC flew up onto the ceiling with ropes.  The boys flew up above the audience 
while singing.  They did look pretty amusing.
