yeah it wasnt that good, award shows seem to get worse these days, the kerrang awards were better this year though......
Exactly. Jimmy Fallon did a terrible job. Chris Rock was hilarious. I liked these awards for a number of reasons. 01) Adam Sandler and Snoop Dogg's presentation skit. 02) Chris Rock's hilarious comedy. 03) LP winning, Chester presenting. 04) Those hilarious Crank Yankers 05) Eminem's skit with the Crank Yanker dude ("YAY! It's my birthday! YAY!" ) I also disliked the awards for a bunch of reasons. 01) There weren't any super performances. Christina nor Beyoncé never came close to Britney's performance a few years back when you think of over-the-top hot performances. The choice of rap and rock bands was not good at all. Britney's kiss with Madonna was only somewhat hot. The VMA's usually have that performance which captures the eye and is memorable, the only memorable part was the kiss, and that was 2 seconds of a performance. 02) Johnny Cash getting RIPPED OFF for Best Video (I'm not a fan, but who picks Missy Elliot over someone who was too sick to even come to the awards?). 03) The fact that 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake were on the stage for about 70% of the awards. </rant>
I'll watch them when real bands are nominated such as Staind, Cold, Seether, Taproot, Disburbed and Godsmack, just to name a few. But as long as the VMAs are dominated by all of these manufactured pop/rap artists with no talent who's only fans are teenies who only like them for their looks, I won't be watching it. Of course LP is an exception, they're like the only real band to be nominated and win.
I understand what you're saying that he's sick and he's been around and stuff, and I respect that, but I don't care that he didn't win. I'm not gonna pity anyone when I never gave a rat's ass before. I think all those people giving shoutouts to him did it to boost their image...that's celebs for you. Please. Who wrote the material for this show? Everything seemed to be so drab and effed up. The Olsen Twins and David Spade segment sucked, the the Fred Durst and Jack Black segment sucked, and those are just few. Chris Rock cracked me up in the beginning, but then what happened? Did someone tell him to shutup or something? I had to stop watching the VMAs after Fat-lard Osbournge and Advil Lasagna came out; this was the most pathetic thing ever. And you wonder why I never watch TV.
Could have been much more better. My comments are the same than LPFAN05, and I add one : Complaining/caps mode on I HATE WHEN PEOPLE FAKE SINGING. I HATE WHEN A MUSIC SHOW BECOMES A DANCE CONTEST ON A TAPE. read : Beyonce's performance Complaining/caps mode off Sorry for the caps .
VMA's sucked (in a way)...Linkin Park was awesome and so was Metallica...the beginning Chris Rock segment and the jokes about R. Kelly and American Idol were hilarious, also mentioning: "50 Cent has taken more shots to the face than Jenna Jameson" He couldnt make fun of Eminem though, that cheapass
maaaaaaaaaaaaan.. i still need to watch it!! argh.. stupid normal Australian tv.. times like these i really wish for cable.. i lurve mtv..
I watches it five times just to see the bits with LP in it but yeah they did suck quite a bit. I thought they would do a really good performance at the beginning because it's the 20th annual vma's but i didn't find it that great
High Points: 1) AFI winning... I actully squealed.... The guy from Outcast had this "who the hell are they?" expression on his face when he announced it...priceless..and Jade forgot to thank the presenters...Silly 2) Chester presenting/LP winning. Let's hope they keep this tradition... 3) Good Charlotte winning/preforming 4) Eminem beating up the puppet 5) Dave Navarro. Woulda been better if he wasn't with Christina though... 6) Metallica preforming. I don't even like Metallica much, but I thought they kicked ass. 7) Chris Rock. "Got the Olson twins down there, and R.Kelly way up there!" Low Points: 1) 50 Cent beating Evanescence...how?!?! 2) Beyonce's preformance...way over done. 3) The fact that none of the reporters knew who Brody Armsrong was. 4) The fact that aside from my "high points" listed above, the rest of the show was boring as hell.
