Here's my take on the VMAs; which I wouldn't have watched if hadn't found out that Ye was gonna perform a new track...more on that later...
Here is my take on the show and its elements, in order of appearance.
Minus points for the VMAs taking place in a warehouse, Viacom has a bigger budget than that. More minus points for Brit Brit speed reading through her opening, which was terrible may I add. EVEN MORE minus points for Little Wayne getting a lip ring, it makes me not wanna get mines repierced because it is quickly about to be come the it thing to do...damn.
Plus points for Ri Ri blending Detroit and Cass Tech's own White Stripes into her performance. Russell Brand also adds points in an attempt to revive a dying show, his hilarity was greatly appreciated. Bonus points once again for the DJ AM/Travis Barker duet throughout the show. You should probably get that mixtape now...yea...
On the cusp on Jamie King's slightly [and assumable] drunken and loud "performance." Plus points for him being funny, minus points for him missing his cue live on the air...and even more minus points for MTV's poor production quality of this event. Furthermore, more minus points for all the categories being full of songs that I am tired of hearing.
Extreme plus points for Demi Moore...she is indeed a GILF.
Minus points for The Jonas Brothers performing on what looked like Sesame Street. But they earned their points back by actually having a song that ended up rocking in the end.
FASHION BREAK
Plus points for the Jonas Brothers, their ensembles were awesome...Pete Wentz...not so much...
Extreme minus points on Michael Phelps and his Weezy Reference. And even more points loss for his inability to read cue cards. Hail to the victors valiant!
Ready for more minus points, because here they come. Minus points for Weezy's rendition of "He Got A Donk." Saggin' Pants aren't cool. More minus points, but plus hilarity points, for the T-Wayne Duck, Duck, Goose game...best 5 minutes of humor, EVER!
I agree with just about all you said, except Xtina had the best performance. Her "cover" or "remix" of "Genie In A Bottle" was killer. Now, I must say, I think she realized Brit Brit has a hit of an album on her hands that she squandered, so it's obvious she wants to make party jams too. I'm not mad at those tig ol' bitties in any way though.
And... I hate that Kid Rock song. The performance kind of made it a little better, because they broke in the different change-ups. It just makes me sad that Bob has to go so posh white trash. I don't think that will ever seem cool to me, maybe because I can never be white trash. Ghetto chic, sure. Posh white trash? Who knows.
