Total Finale Live

That's it! TRL is officially over! Hosted by original host Carson Daly and the host for the last 6 years Damien Fahey, and throughout the show they do a final countdown. The producers picked the 10 videos that define TRL, changed pop culture and music videos themselves.

Iconic TRL Videos

10. OutKast - Hey Ya!
9. Blink 182 - What's My Age Again
8. Usher, Lil Jon, Ludacris - Yeah!
7. Beyonce & Jay-Z - Crazy In Love
6. Kid Rock - Bawitdaba
5. Christina Aguilera - Dirrty
4. *NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye [I know this one was gonna be on the list but I don't like the fact that they're right below BSB!! lol]
3. Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way
2. Eminem - The Real Slim Shady
1. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time [of course!]


Justin Timberlake & JC Chasez showed up 66 minutes into the show. They showed up, talked to Carson for about 3 minutes, and I couldn't stop smiling. Thought they were gonna take a look back down memory lane of all the *NSYNC days instead they were just talking about random stuff and Carson was talking most of the time... Great to see 2 of the boys back together. Looking good, too! Kinda expected a lot more of them (and the rest of the group) though :(

Justin showed up again later on the show. First he showed up with Damien talking about the Halle Berry surprise [according to Justin, "one of the finer moments" of his life] and his "Cry Me A River" and "Like I Love You" performance that made #1 in their Favorite Live Performances countdown. Then he showed up with Lyndsay and Esmee Denters talking about her and their performance together in Justin Timberlake and Friends (as a part of his golf tournament). Song will be available for download on Amazon.com on Tuesday. Profits will go to charity for Shriner's Hospital for Children.

The show was scheduled for 2 1/2 hours but it went over to 3 hours.

I really am sad that the show is over, even though I haven't watched it in the last couple of years. Definitely the end of an era here. TRL was the place to be for new musicians trying to break through. When they started, not many people knew what the Internet is; there was no MySpace or YouTube for artists to showcase their talents, and TRL provides that. Gonna miss them blocking Times Square, with all the superstar guests and amazing performances. Damien and Carson, love you both so much, hope you guys do well after the show. I don't know why but because TRL is actually over, I kinda lost a little hope in *NSYNC getting back together, cos that show was them...in a way... *tears* The one good show on MTV is now gone.
