Not to be that person, but I kinda stopped watching MAMA after my favorites stopped showing up. The stages, performances, and energy haven't quite been the same. There are other big acts that have performed in the past that I don't follow also so the magnitude and importance of MAMA has lowered a bit over the years to me.
