I have to agree w/ TalkinTotheRain, willsboy84, & xyboyms for the most part. 90's VMAs were the best! Big venues, good hosts (chris rock was the best), exciting, and controversial. 2001 was probably the last decent show imo, with the exception of the year of madonna/brit/christina (2003?). although they have tried some interesting concepts like the hotel parties in vegas last year and i liked how they arrived on boats when they were at miami the year diddy hosted, they have been getting more and more boring. but this is the first year i havent watched it the whole way through and im not intending to do so.
for me it seems like they dont have as many of the interesting categories that they used to have, they have really cut down. breakthrough, viewers choice, r&b, group. and although i have always wondered why the hell some vids get nominations, i dont understand their rationale for the majority of the videos this year. Piece of me???? why? wasnt gimme more a bigger "hit" than that & the vid was better too even though neither can compare to her best. if it was for sympathy then they might as well have given MC something for loverboy. speaking of mariah how the fuck is britney gonna win an award for piece of me and mariah doesnt win anything for we belong together??? i didnt think she would win anything for touch my body, if we belong together couldnt win an award i didnt think touch my body would, but when looking at iits competition i think it should have won over some britney piece of me shit. but good for britney, i think she deserves it, but its kinda sad she wins for that piece of shit. i really think she should have just stayed home, she should have accepted awards via satellite or something. maybe learn how to stay out of the spotlight to build more anticipation to come back with a bang, maybe for next year. i guess MTV has to whore her out for ratings. honestly saying she is opening the show is a little misleading when usually the host is the one who "opens the show". when they say performer is opening a show it usually means they are performing first.
the host was funny at times, but mostly creepy. probably one of the worst hosts. because of the topics of a lot of his jokes, i had to keep reminding myself this was a MUSIC award show and not some disney awards or political show. i know they usually have comedians as hosts, but i think this guy was really irrelevant for a music award show. hes creepy, i think he wants to get in the jonas bros pants. but it was funny how jordin sparks made herself look like a dumb bitch.
rihanna's first performance was sad, singing & dancing wasnt up to par, the second was better. lil waynes performance wasnt that good, he looked like an idiot, i wish they had a whole leona lewis performance rather than a little intro, is that a lil wayne song shes on or was that something made just for the performance? oh and where was bleeding love? why wasnt that nominated for anything??? kid rock was okay, i like the song. jonas bros were creepy, when did MTV turn into disney? christina was def the highlight. i missed TI, pink, or kanye west and i havent watched them yet. another boring VMA show.
