1. Aaron Carter was there and dressed like he was going to his tap dance recital. 2. Sisqó was in his peak Unleash the Dragon-phase (aka the "Thong Song"-era). 3. We still cared about Fred Durst, 'cause it was 2000 (crazy times). 4. The pre-Osbournes, Osbournes were there and even eldest daughter, Aimee, joined in on the Grammy red carpet fun. 5. Missy Elliott came looking sharp. 6. While Monica came dressed in one of Missy's old ones. 7. Britney Spears -- who was there as a nominee for Best New Artist -- gave us some old school Hollywood glamour. 8. Shirley Manson paid homage to Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time" video by dressing like a Catholic school girl. 9. TLC -- who were there as nominees for album of the year for FanMail -- brought their futuristic "No Scrubs" look to the red carpet. 10. Lou Bega was there for "Mambo No. 5," of course. 11. Both Robby Takac and Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls had unfortunate hair situations. 12. Faith Hill -- who was accompanied by husband Tim McGraw -- was there to snatch Shania Twain's Queen of Pop Country crown. 13. Ellen DeGeneres gave the crowd on the red carpet a little dance. 14. Kid Rock showed up with Jamie King and wore a coat that he clearly stole from an Upper East Side socialite. 15.

Meanwhile Letoya's former Destiny's Child bandmates blew kisses and wished her luck on her solo career. 17. Dr. Dre brought his protégé Eminem. 18. The Backstreet Boys hung out with Tony Bennett. 19. Will Smith opened the show with a melody of "Freakin' It"/ "Wild Wild West," from his album *eye-roll* Willennium. 20. Erykah Badu slayed everyone with her performance of "You Got Me." 21. While Ricky Martin shook his bon-bon as he performed "Maria" and NOT "Livin' La Vida Loca." 22. Sarah McLachlan won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her high school graduation standard "I Will Remember You." 23. The late, great Whitney Houston took home the Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "It's Not Right but It's Okay." 24. NSYNC proved they were the boy band that wasn't afraid to experiment with their hair. 25. The Dixie Chicks were photobombed by Dennis Franz after they won the Grammy for Best Country Album. 26. Christina Aguilera pulled an upset and beat Britney Spears for the Grammy for Best New Artist. 27. Record of the Year went to Santana and Rob Thomas for "Smooth" -- the song you could not escape in 1999 and 2000. 28. And of course he also won Album of the Year for Supernatural (aka the CD your mom played on repeat in the car). 29. But really there was only one iconic and important moment that happened at the 2000 Grammy's: Jennifer Lopez wore THE DRESS. 30. Even David Duchovny couldn't help but call out the dress and how good Jennifer looked during the awards show. 31. Yup, Jennifer WON the entire Grammy's that year. References
