This year's VMA's were so bad that I couldn't even finish watching them...and then I needed a day to reflect on what I had witnessed.
1. MTV should change it's name to RTV = this would cover the wide spectrum of things that seem to fill it's airtime...Reality TV, Retard TV, Repulsive TV, ...basically it's all shit, and it's mostly just a testament to the downfall of this country.
2. Justin Timberlake's shining achievement of the evening was asking MTV at least twice...to PLAY MORE VIDEOS. All of the awards I actually saw, were not based on videos at all. This to me makes him look pretty silly, because we have all been asking MTV to do this for ummmmm years! But at least he is the only Superstar with balls left.
3. The whole layout of the evening was pretty cool, if it had worked. They had various party ROOMS in addition to the pretty amazing main stage area. But they ineffectively used their space. No one in the main area looked excited to be there. Then they would cut to a performance in a particular room, but the sound didn't always work, or it looked like it was more fun everywhere besides the main stage. Once again, Justin's party probably took the cake, but Kanye's looked pretty fun too. Mark Ronson was pretty much the only good part of the main stage...except maybe Chris Brown's performance, who can dance any one's pants off, but he didn't actually sing, so it looked sort of ridiculous.
4. Can't even talk about Britney Spears.
5. And then Kanye's aftermath. I just read an article about him, where he talks about his Ego and his temper tantrums and how he is going to chill out...but obviously that's not true. He didn't win anything, but I don't get it, his album wasn't out yet...so why is he bitching and turning it into a race thing? He may just be the master of BUZZ...his album drops today doomsday, and so does 50's album...I think Kanye might win this sales race, but if he does are we ever going to hear the end of it?
So once again, I could probably keep going, but it was just awful. This part of our POP culture should be shot in the head. MTV : Please stop throwing parties just to pat your friends who make crappy music on the back. Please stop putting horribly detrimental television on the air. Please stop promoting the careers of untalented hacks...when there is plenty of real talent in the world.
It's probably easier if you want to watch music videos, I suggest watching the station IMF...that's all they play.
