My VMA Break Down

I finally watched the VMA's last night and needless to say, i was un-impressed, annoyed, frustrated and irritated with MTV and Timberland. I was left wanting more and thinking, "what the fuck is this mess of a show."


MTV, has a lot of explaining to do because they hyped that Britney Performance to the limit and then some. Who was in charge of supervising her performance, because if she performed in rehearsal as she did on the actual show, which by the way she did, they showed clips of her rehearsing and it looked like an exact copy. I would have scrapped that shit in a heart beat. Sat dear Britney down and said, "Look your just not ready yet, get your shit together and maybe next year we can do something." Then on to plan B. Now a days with Britney you should always have a plan B.


I dug that song "Smack That" by Akon and i wish to god they would have aired the entire song.


The audio from the performance suites was way, way off and i could barely hear the Foo Fighters, which was another disappointment.


Ceelo, singing "Darlin Nikki" was another disappointment because we only got to hear the tail end of a great song and he looked like he was into it. I love that song! I wanted to hear that song with the Foo Fighters and CeeLo from beginning to end.


Maroon 5, but it really was only Adam. Just like Akon i wanted to hear the entire song because frankly and i hate to admit this but that song is funky! I love it, and yes i hate that i love it.


Fall out Boy, i hate that band, i truly do, it's not my kind of music. However they won me over with that, "This ain't and scene it's an arm race" song, i don't know the name of it because frankly it's not important, what is important is the fact that the song is genuinely good and again i was disappointed in two ways: 1. I only again heard the tail end of the song. 2. Way too many people on the mike, it was an utter mess.


Gym class hero's, i loved their acceptance drink! When they performed their "We have to take our clothes off" song, i feel in love with the lead singer of Fall Out Boy, that guy can SING and i will forever respect him for having pipes like that.


Chris Brown, made me feel like i was 16 again, watching N'SYNC and Britney dance their lives away and put on amazing shows. I loved everything he did, and i didn't mind that he was lip syncing, because he was, and he's not very good at it. I also loved how they brought Rihanna out even though i HATE that "Ella Ella" song, "Umbrella." Thank God for Chris Brown!


Justin, Timbaland, 50 Cent, and T.I. looked like they were just having a good time being themselves. I dug their performances and their interactions with everyone and each other. It just looked like a genuinely good time with a bunch of guys who could have huge egos but showed no signs of them.


Kanye "Fucking Loser" West. I fast forwarded every one of his performances and even when he came on stage trying to appear tough. The guy secrets ego in everything he does and it comes off so contrived and sad. Sad, that he thinks he has to play this role to get famous and respect. When reality people can't stand to hear anything that comes out of his mouth, because its pathetic and shows the lack of brain activity he has.


Sarah Silverman, i have seen her be funnier than that. The only piece i liked was of course the Kanye "fucking loser" West joke.


Shia Labeouf, looking hot and sexy as usual. God, any day is a good day when you have a sexy beast like Shia.


Rihanna, i really loved that she performed that song with Fall Out Boy, that was genius! Though again wish i could have heard the whole thing. Also, i think Rihanna is prettier with out the loads of makeup, at the VMA's that was by far the prettiest i have ever seen her.


Jamie Fox, is another one who is way into himself because he won one Oscar! He needed to shut the fuck up last night! Seriously, i felt for Jennifer and if it was me i would have walked off stage and let Jamie make a fool of himself. The guy is not funny.


Alicia Keys! Thank someone for Alicia Keys, seriously. That song has forever changed my life, i have been listening to it over and over again all day today. She sang the hell out of that song, looked hot and not only that but she broke out George Michael. I fucking love her and she by far had the best performance of the night. Thank you Alicia Keys for bringing the hope back into MUSIC!!


Timbaland, what the fuck were you thinking, that Linkin Park performance was dreadful. I couldn't hear one word and the Blondie dude look like he was straining every cord in his throat to get that sound out. It was good, really. Also, what the hell were you thinking when you decided to have 20 sec performances, how was that a good idea. I'm highly disappointed, highly.


Tommy and Kid, i have words for you. You guys are grown ass men, who scary as it is, have children. Set a fucking example and be the mature ones. Fighting is so high school.
