I believe that OK GO’ s video sticks out from the rest in a very positive way; The audience is tired of the two most common standard-videos:

1) Rap with tits, ass, Ferraris, Rolex and piles of $

2) Grunge played out in the dessert, in a garage or on the roof of some building.

The choice is simply a reaction on the stereotypes that developed!

While I thought Terra Naomi was awfully good, I find it hard to believe her stuff was picked as best music - but at least she has talent.

The rest of the awards definitely make you go “hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…”

I think I’m beginning to agree with the aphorism “Youth is wasted on the young!”

the picks were utubes featured clips that were featured cause utube picked them and put them on the front page thus generating lots of hits thus picking them for the awards.

Actually, I meant to say Kevin’s comments, but fjdj’s comments were also relevant.

Lasse Gjertsen all the way for best music vids and most innovative.

i miss markey

It all goes to show that even thought it is called U-TUBE, someone is still controlling what we watch and what is worthy of winning an award..

creative and original, rather see 4 really hot babes doing the treadmill act as a side show, let the musicians remain musicians………

the best youtube video out there is the one where the bride freaks out and cuts off all her hair… funniest thing i’ve ever seen

Dear whoever wrote this,

Did you actually watch “kiwi?” In no way is that story “warm and fuzzy.” It is a quasi-depressing tale of a creature fulfilling its dream through suicide. Good? Yes. “Warm and fuzzy?”…No.

Saw OK Go in concert, I wish they did this when I saw them, but I guess I’ll just have to enjoy it via video! Peace.

The only reason they even had these awards was to take the spotlight off of the fact that they were stealing Viacom’s videos and are being sued for $1 billlion. They didn’t put any effort into it, it’s a joke. I go to Break.com anyway, there are actually funny videos there.

Most creative, or heck, best video EVER! Ms Peachez - Fry that chicken

these awards bring my piss to a boil

the Revolution of Dance, Shoes, Muffins, and Text Message Breakup should’ve won. Those are the FUNNIEST clips i’ve ever seen

Unfortunately it is exactly the cutting edge of cultural commentary, because it shows us how far our culture has sunk!
with only a few redeemable videos, the list was ridiculous. But by what standard are we evaluating the quality of the videos chosen? If we are measuring by the mixed up and incoherent value system that is embarrassingly serving as our anchor for moral integrity today, we get a lot of the cultural problems that produce this kind of bare minimum level entertainment seeking that is predominant in western culture today. The fact that reality shows (which are the in fact dishonest and not real much at all), lame and tasteless horror movies, and a constant unhealthy obsession with Anna Nicole Smith (including mostly her death), is the things that people turn to for entertainment, speak volumes to the fact that our culture is in trouble. It is no surprise that in a world that does not no how to parent, how to be a mother or a father, how to judge or manage their impulses, how to be fulfilled in life, how to not stay living in the parents house at 28 years old, turns to such crap for amusement. What a drag this culture is. Can we please, one day, get rid of all this crap, and turn to things of real substance? Real significance to anything that resembles some idea of what is important in life? We dont even have to totally agree on what that is, but can we at least try? This is an absolute waste of a generations time!!!

Diss a point ment, I just started to watch youtube a very promising entry ti the world of information and entertainment. The vast wealth of old films and videos amazed me. As much as the youtube libuary delighted the efforts and picks of the so called “creative new” disapointed. Not funny, obvious humour abounded, artistic efforts failed misserably with the only bright spot being in the “cute” catorgory. There is always next year I guess !!

redneck lonely girl 15 and the guy who boinked his cousin, hands down.

That takes skill. I wonder how many times they fell flat on their face doing that. They deserve to win.

Hi All, this will be my final post. I was trying to be funny. Didn’t work, I apologize for offending anyone.

there is a cable channel called THE TUBE….that is killer i don’t see that mentioned here….

OK Go did a wonderful job on their video and deserved to win, but music videos aren’t dead just yet. Thank god for the channel Fuse, which mostly airs music videos It puts every music channel to shame.

However, YouTube is very in at the moment and MySpace isn’t as big as it quite used to be. FaceBook is taking over that. Soon, something better will come around and I’m sure YouTube won’t be as popular as it is now.

The internet is the only place where you can really see music videos now. Kudos to bands like OK Go who figured it out early. Now that MTV has based their programming on shows about pretty white people with problems, and VH1 is right behind them, video sites like You Tube, MySpace, and others are the new channel for artists to get their stuff out there…

Yeah i would like to say.. its a good idea to do the video thing, they should do that more often with the voting and stuff

Laters

hope to see more
