the video music awards
so I've been watching the video music awards at the end of every summer since 1995. When I was in middle and high school they were alot of fun. After that it really depended on the show. When MTV is good they can be better then any other award show that year. I always felt that every time they were at the radio city music hall they were really good. especially because I think they had done it there like more then 15 times or something. Not sure if that is the exact number but the majority of shows is there. Sure they have done good shows at like Lincoln Center and in LA but every time they aren't in la or new york the show doesn't usually work as well. A couple years ago when they were in Miami was probably my least favorite overall.
Last years I really liked and it had great performances and it was fun. I liked it. It was perfect but it was fun.
This year well. OK the start sucked. Britney Spears looked like half way through she knew this was a bad idea. I remember when she always had a performance that even if you hated her you admitted it was good. but that was 6 years ago now. if you really wanna count the Madonna kiss I guess butr her last solo performance was the python one. If nobody told Britney she couldn't last after teen pop died Sunday night was she found out.
Then Sarah Silverman came out after and bombed maybe even worse. showing that not making actual jokes but saying offensive observations is enough to pass as stand up comedy. Nobody laughed and it was just embarrassing.
After that it was a little smoother but it was probably the worst start of an award show I've ever seen.
The rest was lame mostly. there were good performances which is always why you tune in to the vmas. Kayne West was good all the times he performed. So was Justin and T.I. and 50 cent. also the foo fighters with big shock the return of Pat Smear. But what I really missed was people being on the main stage.having everyone perform in a suite was a big cop out. And looked like your little brother and his friend were putting together and award show.
the best part was the big timbaland medley at the end with nelly furtado, justin, and everybody from the timbaland album i forget off the top of my head. That made it worth it.
Chris Brown was OK but all his songs sound the same so for that i mark him down. but he is a good dancer.
all in all not very good MTV needs to come back to new york or la. I'm serious they were good in either city but vegas. lame. i get that the palms casino probably paid for some of it to have such a great advertisement. it may have been cheaper and soungs like a good idea but it just looked cheaper and was a bad idea.
Also every year there is a decant video that should have gotten an least something. this year it was Justice d.a.n.c.e. was awesome and i wish more would see.
