I know…it’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you…but I was on summer break. What do you want from me? (I hope you got those references to Aaliyah and Adam Lambert. Just making sure you’re paying attention.) Anyway, here’s my MTV VMAs recap.
Eminem opened the show. It was kind of cute how his performance started and looked like the scene from “8 Mile”. He still looks sick to me though. Are we sure he is okay, or is that just the effects of the drugs? I was scared at first when I saw the girl with the red hair appear on stage. I thought I was going to have to sit through another horrible Nicki Minaj performance. Luckily we dodged that bullet. It was just RiRi with a wig on. 30 Seconds to Mars just won best Rock Video. OMG...is that Jared Leto. It sure is. I knew he was in a band but never really paid attention to which one. Am I the only one that watched “My So Called Life” and had a huge crush on Jared Leto? Raise your hand if you feel me. I’m sorry; I just can’t handle Trey Songz. Why are his pants so tight, yet they still are hanging so low? Maybe they are so tight that he can’t get them over his hips. Well if that’s the case, wear some different pants, damnit! He’s getting a little too full of himself. He is cute, but the fact that he thinks he’s so cute…is not cute. What the hell is Usher doing? Does he think he’s some kind of superhero dancing robot? I will admit his CD is way better than I thought it was when I first critiqued in a previous blog, but I think he’s lost something in his dance moves since the babies. It happens to the best of us. Believe me, I know. Kids age you instantly. Why is Will.I.Am in black face? (sigh) We’ll just move on. I’m not even going to comment on Nicki Minaj’s butt. I am curious to know why she makes those faces. Is that supposed to be cute? It’s not. I’m still not sure why she raps the way she does. Is that supposed to sound good? It doesn’t. What was up with that car commercial that Ciara and 1/2 of Neptunes did? Why does Mercedes from Glee refuse to wear heels? I understand walking in heels can be uncomfortable, but why are combat boots always her alternative. Why not a ballet slipper? Why is the cheerleading coach wearing that floor length trench coat? That’s kind of weird. GaGa and her outfits are so ridiculous. It takes 5 people to get her out of her seat and 10 people to get her up the stairs. Mmm, Justin Timberlake looks delicious. What is Swizz Beatz doing on the piano? Is he trying to be like his new wife? He’s not even pressing any keys. Drake is rapping and Swizz Beatz just keeps saying “oh” and little random comments here and there. I’m not sure why Swizz Beatz is even on the stage. Maybe Swizz Beatz raps now and I just didn’t get the memo. Uh-oh, are they booing Kanye? I think people are still mad about the Taylor Swift thing. He better stop with that remedial performance on his Casio keyboard and start doing something to make up for last year. Who is that rapping with Kanye? I thought it was Omarion for a second and was thinking, my gosh he’s aged quickly in the last couple of years. I thought the second mic was for Taylor Swift and that maybe there would be this cute little collaboration where they play nice with each other, but apparently the other mic was so he could do that horrible auto tune crap. Oh well. The VMAs are known to be unpredictable and full of surprises, but I must say this year was pretty underwhelming.

Well, obviously I didin't get much of the whole thing. Sadly, I thought most of it was a big waste of time. I will say, I'm still crazy about the whole "Not Afraid" performance by Eminem. That was pretty much the whole show for me, so I'm glad he had the time to perform before zooming out so fast he couldn't stick around to pick up all his awards.
ReplyDeleteNot being a real big GaGa fan, I think the whole costume thing is way overdone. She seems like a sincere person and she's pretty talented but I fear she's overcompensating because she may feel she would never be noticed otherwise. You guys must see something I don't because I thought she got way too many awards.
Swizz Beatz on the piano? I kept thinking "I've heard that name before" but couldn't remember why. Sorry, Mr. Keyes.
Biemer's back up dancers are pretty good. Little Biemer didn’t seem to be on top of his game. And is young Justin really worthy of the newcomer of the year award? Also, why didn't he thank Ellen? Most of us had never even heard of him before Ms. Degeneres debuted him on her popular TV show.
I swear, Usher is nothing but smoke and mirrors. He has a few songs out that I kind of like, but come on, you are no Michael Jackson or Chris Brown even. It was obvious he was struggling with the moves and the backup dancers were doing all the really cool stuff. His moves were trite and mostly very awkward. All those fancy and elaborate sets are obviously designed to mask the lack of originality.
Sorry Usher, I'm not impressed!
Wow Sharon. You're really showing your age. His name is Beiber by the way...and Ellen was the first time you heard of him, not the first time the rest of us heard about him. He can thank YouTube for his shot, cuz that is how me, JT (that's Justin Timberlake to you), Usher and the rest of the world found him. Speaking of Usher. He's definitely no MJ, though for some reason he seems to think he can give MJ a run for his money, but Usher, let's be very clear...you can't! I think its funny though that you say his no Chris Brown even. Funny...but true. I think part of Usher's problem is he's aging...and he has kids, that really tires you out. If you compare young Usher in his prime to Chris Brown in his prime...Chris Breezy clearly wins...if we're talking about dancing.
