My 17 cents on the VMA's...
First of all, I did not watch this because I wanted to. Two friends that do not have cable said they'd take me to Taco Bell if they could come over and watch this. So therefore my love of greasy cheesy deliciousness is responsible for this post. We started watching about 45 minutes in which made certain parts rather confusing but figured it out later when it was re-shown immediately after the fact in classic MTV fashion. Random thoughts in no order whatsoever:
People seemed upset that Madonna's tribute to MJ seemed all about her, but I mean really, what else was she going to talk about? If she had just recited the same facts and figures as everyone else it would have been rather pointless. At least she had enough sense to wear something long sleeved so that the gossip blogs weren't distracted by her elbows.
Russell Brand is completely useless, but honestly I have no idea who SHOULD have emceed this disaster, so I guess it makes sense.
I never liked Kanye and I never will. I never liked country music and I never will, despite how cute and innocent Taylor Swift may seem.
Lady Gaga is apparently the right kind of crazy for this time period of pop music. I can't decide if this is good or bad.
Tracy Morgan doesn't exist to me. He's just Tracy Jordan...he won't be able to shake that persona ever.
Pink can't make it just singing, so she has to sing and hang from things. Nice.
Green Day stopped being relevant to me a long time ago. I don't know anyone that listens to them.
Beyonce can move but I'm still not into her...nice giving the young girl her moment though...gives people something to talk about.
I have a lot more respect for Eminem than when he was first popular. I respect Jay-Z but I don't think I'll make a point to listen to his music.
Who was that one white guy that they had to create a special genre for - "college rap"? How did he even get nominated?
I didn't miss Britney one bit. She probably planned to be away after her embarrassments of the past.
Twilight has NOTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC AWARDS FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER YOU CONSIDER HOLY. I went to the bathroom during this segment. PS, was Kristen Stewart trying to be Rumer Willis?
Was Muse on just for the people watching in Britain? No one else seemed to care.
I did like Janet's tribute...it was cute when they danced together to "Scream"- him on the screen and her on the stage. Well done.
For the record, I hate pop music. That is all.
