each year I look forward to the award shows. I love the celebs, the clothes, & all the action that happens.
so the night was supposed to be all about Michael Jackson... or at least it started out that wayyy. Madonna said a really good speech about the King of Pop & she closed by saying Long Live the King!; Janet Jackson did a tribute to him..... it was amazing! Katy Perry & Joe Perry from Aerosmith introduced Host Russell Brand with a cover of Queens We Will Rock You! The house-band Wale was a great band. I will definitely be listening to some of there stuff! Kid Cudi even did a tribute to DJ AM with the help of Wale.
The biggest piece of action last night would have to be when Taylor Swift won best female video & Kanye West jumped on stand, took her microphone & practically said Beyonce should have won. It's been reported that he was drunk, & in this picture taken on the red carpet he has a bottle of liquor in his hand! wtf?
Can you be any less professional? Honestly I think this might ruin his career, because when Diddy came on stage to present Best Male Video, won by T.I. who is currently in prison, he said Kanye's name & the crowd booed. oh well, he deserved it, but on his blog he said quote
"I feel like Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents" when he messed everything up and Robert De Niro asked him to leave... That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry."
let's see how he recovers from this one.
Lady Gaga is always interesting to watch, but last night performance is going to give me nightmares for the rest of my life. Don't get me wrong I love Gaga, & her dare to be different style & music, but looking like Carrie all bloody & hanging from the ceiling looking dead, isn't so great in my book. She got quite a few moon-men so I'd say she doing pretty well. I can't really say I understand why she did all the blood & junk, but it got her alot of publicity. good job! oh & did you know that her date to the vmas was non-other then Perez Hilton! omg he looked good. I haven't checked his blog today, but I am totally sure that he has alot to say about last night.
lol.
Beyonce's single ladies performance was one of the best of the VMA's. There was like a million single ladies instead of the regular three. lol. But Beyonce being the professional that she is gave Taylor Swift the chance to try her acceptance speech again after Kanye ruined it! Beyonce took home Video of the Year, which is the best moon-man of the night. she is really a great role model.
& obviously I can't forget to mention that Green Day rocked the house! Billie Joe told everyone to come on stage during their performance, haha I caught a glimpse of Pete Wentz moshing up there....priceless!
Pink's performance made me want to fly, it was great she is one great performer that I would love to watch over & over again, even though she & shakira did wear the same outfit.(I hope her & Carey Hart get back together :'( they were great together!)
Last year Russell Brand got into a lot of heat because he made fun of the Jonas Brothers' purity rings, but this year he did very well. I think Kanye did 99% of the dissing. The only thing that got me was JayZ is making his way to Radio City Music Hall right now! as we speak! going on & on & on. I like JayZ, but did he really need all of that! & another thing Alicia Keys was performing with him! Did anyone know that! or did they just fail to tell Russel? Needless to say they were great together, they killed it, but Lil Mama, good God, she had to get up there & try & steal some spotlight cause her Lipgloss is fading away.
All I have to say after watching this year's VMA's is what a night, I can't wait til next year!
What can I say?
