Well, I hate to get all “who cares” on you, but you know you cares? Me neither.

I hate to be a gramar nazi, but I don’t want you looking uneducated. You’ve got to fix that.

Nobody has ever sung less than Britney is singing right now. She’s not even trying. Amazing!

All I can say is that was a very big disappointment! She looked very fat and barely moved. No attitude what so ever. She just lip synced and did choreography.

britney looked like she was bored. why make your “comeback” on the VMAs if you’re going to look that disinterested?

All I can say is that was a very big disappointment! She looked very fat and barely moved. No attitude what so ever. She just lip synced and did choreography.

Wow, she seemed to not care and was perhaps a bit tipsy or otherwise not at 100%.

OMG, Sarah Silverman totally slammed her!

Wow, she seemed to not care and was perhaps a bit tipsy or otherwise not at 100%.

That performance was single-handedly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

Well, this has been the most awkward first ten minutes of the VMA’s ever.

Wow! She looked like she would rather be at home with her sons. I do not think anyone should bring up her weight, she had 2 kids back to back and went through a divorce, I give her credit for being up there.

Rihanna was not impressed you could tell.

this is hard to watch.

i dont think the vmas have sucked this much this early ever before.

Which song DIDN’T they nominate?

Is it me, or did Britney look completely stoned??? She hardly danecd at all except for the halfhearted butt-shaking, and only bothered to lipsync about half of the song! Ooops she did it again–utter failure.

Wow, Britney’s performance was absolutely terrible! She wasn’t singing, wasn’t dancing, wasn’t doing much of anything but looking down and like an amateur..

And I can’t believe MTV let Sarah Silverman rip Britney a new one like that!

Wow. What a great idea. While we have to watch a dull awards show, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake are in private suites performing excellent songs which we can’t see. Brilliant!

britney completely lipsinked and sucked…that was almost as horrible as sarah silverman’s opening 5 minutes….this was possibly the most awkward 15 minutes in VMA history

This performance could be the nail in Britney’s career coffin.

The best live performance of the VMAs isn’t at the VMAs.

I need that “It’s Britney, Bitch” ringtone. Like, RIGHT NOW.

Now I remember why I stoped watching MTV… Suck Fest 07

britney was terrible but worse
were sarah’s comments .. MTV
went to an all low …

I wish Chris Angel had made Britneys whole act dissapear.

That has to be the worst performance EVER….what was MTV thinking.

Who cares about her weight, but she sure as heck was lazy about everything else she was up there doing.

Cable access here I come!

It’s Ancient Rome: Live from Las Vegas.

They’re not even trying. “Smack That” is SO last year.

I’m confused..where’s the ‘magic’ that we were supposed to see..you know, all that stuff Britney was working with Chris Angel on??

I don’t get it, unless that is later

MTV should fire their script people!!!! ASAP

MTV should fire their script people!!!! ASAP

I’d love to see Peter, Bjorn and John win. Totally anti-establishment.

Britney’s performance was hysterically bad. Even her lip-syncing sucked. I feel embarrassed for her, but I’m still laughing anyways.

Brit, give us the comeback! hope she does better later cause I miss her shit. And wow! Sara Silverman really crossed a line, even for her

Good thing Sarah Silverman followed Britney, because now you can’t decide which performance was worse…the former A-Lister or the current D-Lister…wow..what happened to MTV? Jimmy Fallon, where are you…comeback..please!!!

This show feels like amature night. This is one of the worst productions I’ve seen. I’ve never seen so many awkward moments in one show.

Was Britney high or drunk? She stumbled on stage. That was pathetic for a comeback. And what was she thinking wearing that outfit- maybe she should have worn some clothes for this time around.

Kanye West no win. Kanye West mad. Kanye West cry.

Okay so Britney has a great new song, but OMG her performance. She lip-synced and she didn’t even have fun up there. Sarah Silverman is so effing stupid…whose idea was she? I’m so disappointed. Good thing there won’t be any RERUNS.

I was half-expecting MTV to go, “Just kidding!” after Britney’s performance.

Leave Brit alone, she is my money maker!

So tired Of Justin Timberlake and his music… at least Fall Out Boy isn’t too jaded and can still care…

Why can’t we see whole performances? What ever happened to big spectacle, over the top nonperformances?

This show looks like “shit” i mean Britney sucks, Shara Sucks The performances are incomplete. I think this is gonna be the worst VMAs in the last years

Where the fuck is the remote so I can mute Fall Out Boy?

Why can we not see a whole performance of something other tha brit brit’s tired self?

ok one more segment if this doesn’t improve i
will switch channels… SUX… the programm is everywhere and nowhere … too much reality-esque …

I remember when MTV played music videos and the artist actually went to the awards show.

I’m in the Justin suite on my i-phone, he rocks!!

its pretty sad that this blog is keeping my attention MORE than the actual VMA’s lol.

Justin Timberlake was right, though..MTV needs to can the reality show crap and get back to playing …MUSIC TELEVISION!!

i’m a huge britney fan, but it will be hard to defend her on this one If she didn’t want to be up there, she should have least put on an act for her fans that care. my tv is off already, sorry MTV.

i think britney actually did have an outfit planned out..but sh was so high she lost track of time and couldnt change into it…. and why cant we just see whole telecasts of the parties at another time… then we get to see the awesome performances

This is by far the worst show ever..

But with more videos, MTV won’t have time for such great music-related shows as The Hills and Super Sweet Sixteen.

and why is mark ronson’s music backing all of the mtv shows’ commercials??

Oh, I’m glad that Britney’s VMA “Big Comeback” was lame. Can we go back to not caring about her again?

Pageant Place…oh my god!! gimme a break..

where is the music on MTV?

What is the point of showing half a song?

the only reason i tuned in was to watch the over the top performances … where are they? remember Beyonce’s ring the alram?

Look @ the sweat on Foo Fighers head, man it must be rocking in those suites, too bad not on the show!

Alright, RS, I tune out. Britney dropped the ball, and I am a Britney fan. This is the very worst VMA I have ever watched, and its not worth seeing through. Night y’all.

Hard to believe, but the big accomplishment is that MTV found a way to make music on television look EVEN WORSE. This Foo Fighters performance looks like it was filmed by the AV squad in a locker room.

Thanks for another shitty performance Britney.

So.. is Sarah supposed to be hosting?? If so where is she? Did they pull her?

Aaaand there’s the Foo Fighters, filling the obligatory “rock band” act this year.

WOW shame on you MTV I guess Anna Nicole introducing Kanye West at the 32 AMA’s was not enough exploitation of a celebrity who needs help, serious help…you benefit from their humilition and ridicule, exploit the destruction of their career, and stand by as they self destruct in front of millions…

Have you learned nothing?

hope you got your ratings…

This is embarassing…sorta like watching a car crash in slomo…

I’m having more fun reading the blog comments than watching the show. What a train-wreck!! How did MTV sink this low? Remember when it was fun to watch?

Oh Brittany!
I once went to a strip club in Minneapolis that was trashy and really sad. This was so much worse! NO to drugs Brittany.

How do they expect us to see anything with 15 videos on one screen??

This years awards are HORRIBLE. I’ve been trying to stick by Britney, but seriously…..she seemed bored by the whole thing. Speaking of, I’m bored by the whole thing.

was pulling for her..DAMN..that was horrible!

MTV always sucks things up. Remember last year when the Raconteurs were musical hosts. They gave them 15 second jams everytime they came back from commercial. I love Jack and the boys, but, MTV made that suck.

I have to say that I’m totally disappointed by Britney’s performance. Her new single is great, but performance… This year’s VMAs are total crap. No spectacle at all.

Is it just my TV, or is MTV unable to convey excitement? Great use of commercials……

Yeah, and remember when MTV was cutting edge (hard to reach back that far into the memory!)..

why don’t we just name it the Kanye, Beyonce, Justin, Fiftycent show and call it a night..the same people win everything everytime..

I hate how they cut the performances!!!! This sux

I am out more fun ready this blog than watching … i liked the 50 cent – kanye west thing that was cool … show sux big time night guys

MTV has been making such a huge deal about it this year and it being in Vegas. It looks like they just called performers today and told them to be in Vegas and do whatever and say whatever. The planning of this is just awful.

Maybe it sucks so bad cause they’re all nervous at being live? its never been set up this way before, and probably won’t be again.

I should’ve watched Rock of Love.

Oh my god!!! What’s wrong with MTV??? I was expecting a show like they used to be,, i feel disapointed… Beyonces and Maroon 5 are the first good thing I have seen!! But why are they cutting all the perfomances!! Is that happening everywhere or just in the signal that we are receiving in MEXICO??

If only I watched Britney’s performance with my eyes closed… then it would have rocked!! (if she wasn’t singing, why wasn’t she dancing??!!?!!) And Sarah Silverman is even worse. It’s almost too painful to watch…

britney, you are not a good lip syncher and never cracked a smile..not to mention her dancing was sloppy. put some clothes on please, even women with bodies way better than hers wear clothing that is more up to date…can you say passe? i thought sarah silverman was hilarious.

I normally love the VMAs but these have to be the worst I have ever seen… thinking about watching a movie and just reading the blog.

They show you commercials for neutrogena during a performance and then cut it off to go to commercials plus for every 2 min of the vmas theres like 6 mins of commercials

*moooo*
Beyonce hit the salad bar!
Gawd!

I thought the whole idea was to see the performances? I love it. “Does MTV even know the VMAs are on?”

*moooo*
Beyonce hit the salad bar!
Gawd!

So, do they have no content or do they need to have a LOT of sponsors to pay for the hotel? Would you like some show with your commercials?

I am in vegas and it is not dark out! How are these performances in the suites live?

Jimmy Fallon was the best host EVER for the VMAs. His opening act was pretty much unforgettable.

This is the worst VMA’s ever, so far anyway. MTV developed A.D.D.!!

wow….this is really sad. i was actaully excited to see britney i was so ready to see her get out there and rock it…but she just looked out of shape and bored.

why mtv!….why!

As long as Dane Cook doesn’t make an appearance, I’ll try to stick this one out.

Haha! I was just thinking I should’ve watched Rock of Love too. I suppose the train wreck aka the VMA’s is just too bloody

another great idea make it really hard for people to make it to the stage.. Oh ya were is the podium???

I think this was filmed yesterday.

Jaime Foxx was better as a VMA host, in my opinion.

Wow — this has got to be the WORST VMAs ever. I’m so glad MTV wont run this into the ground by playing it 2700 times this week. I agree with Justin Timberlake — MTV…remember MUSIC television and actually play videos! PS…cant britney officially go away now?

Wow, what’s with showing all the drinking in those suites…little irresponsible..

I can’t believe I’m watching this crap. What happened to the good old days of performers performing! The producers of this show need to drop the crack pipe and run away.

Miss Dawson is looking fine. :]

I dont remember the one with Jamie Foxx.

wow! is this an actual performance?

Who chose Sara Siverman anyways?! Couldn’t they have thought of someone better?

Please Rolling Stone, rip this show apart in your next issue!

Hitler mustache. O_O

Quit ragging on Sarah Silverman, at least she’s honest and tells it how it really is.

Man, MTV is making Diddy’s VMA show a few years ago look appealing…..And I thought it could not get any worse than that.

WOW… they just keep getting WORSE!!

chris brown is doin amazing!

is mtv going broke? all chris brown gets is a backscreen and a cardboard box?

kayne said in an interview that he had to pay for his performance

and why the freak is everyone lip singing!!

No, not an actual performance, this guy is lip syncing too..

What is up with that???

instead of Sarah Silverman…what about Chelsea Handler? I think she is just so blunt. I love it!

WHAT? How wis Chris Brown doing amazing? He’s lip synching so badly he’s barely matching his lips with the lyrics. this is almost worse than Britney. ALMOST

Now it’s getting better!

Yeah, I thought the only way the VMAs could go is up.

Man, was I wrong!

Rihanna is hot, Britney sucks and Sara is hilarious

As much as I hate this song this is the high point so far…

Oh goodness. Not Rhinna(sp? now.

So no one is live anymore, huh? this party suite thing is a terrible idea. I feel like I am at a frat party in college. The camera angles are terrible and we hear 15 seconds of some song and then back to the ADD stage.

Ok…things just got interesting with Rhianna. If she loses the clothes all together, we have potential….

Why are Chris Brown and Rihanna dressed as Joel Gray and Liza Minelli in Cabaret?

I was in 4th grade when Michael Jackson did this one!! Where’s the creativity???????????????????? ??????????????????????

yeah,Chelsea Handler would’ve been better. a funny bitch with a soul. it MAY be getting better. Maybe.

Dammit, all I get is AMC.

Take it back….Rihanna sounds terrible and what’s up with the Michael Jackson imitation? What the hell is going on? The show has me completely lost. Is this a Tarantino?

At this rate we should turn the tv off now while we are on a good note.

“Rihanna is not the only surprise tonight.” WHAT!? that was a surprise!?

OMG… Chris Brown is also making Lipsync… I think this is getting worse!!! and worse!!!! Some times he doesnt even move the lips!!! Whats wrong with you people from MTV!!!

Rihanna was ok, it looked like singing live but Im not sure wich is good i think!!!

Chris Brown knows how to dance!! but for sure he doesnt know how to make lipsync!!

chris brown and rihanna jus killed it!!!

What the hell is a ..

SCRIPTED DRAMA???

did mtv not realize the time of day conflict? they should have filmed it during the day yesterday so everything @ least looks like its like. everyone who planned this years VMAs needs to be fired.

It’s sad when the OZONE awards can out shine Mtv atleast those performances were live….

As a “thirty-something” that grew up in MTV’s heyday I am shocked and disgusted at where they are today. Haven’t really watched in a while and caught the show tonight with my 14 year old. My God! Everything about this show is a total train-wreck the performances, the production, the host, (Sarah really crossed a line in my opinion) and I HOPE somebody helps Britney soon…..

Its amazing that a performance of someone I can’t stand seemed enjoyable. It’s like the prettiest turd in the toilet.

What’s the point of wearing a mic if you’re not even singing. Oh, and I saw Loder sitting next to Maroon 5. Its that time of year when they pull him out of the hypervolic chamber.

Is anyone keeping track of all these bum F%*& reality shows being advertised?

Well, at least Chris Brown had the pelvic thrusts down.

Is this MTV or BET? Where’s the rock n roll anymore?

Chris B and Rhianna sucked

The hills sluts!? God I just want to punch myself.

Okay – I’m old enough to remember when MTV had music, not “semi-reality scripted dramas…” What is the point of this station now? Is it all marketing…commercials…ohmi God…now we’re getting Audrina, Whitney and Lauren from The Hills…could we sink any lower?!! I can’t take my eyes off of this disaster on my screen!

Who are those chicks? Did they pluck them of the street or possibly the Bunny Ranch?

do those guys think they are funny? “here are this years potential losers…” who is writing this stuff on the teleprompter?

I’m a 40 something watching this with my 12 year old and she is even laughing (not in a good way) at these people.

okay..maybe we just call it the Justin Timerlake VMA’s

Wow he made it to the stage from his suite FAST!!

somebody please put a hit out on justin timberlake…why do other people go up on stage when someone wins? what is up with justin’s speech, yuck.

REALLY? The Hills girls? And OMG, more Justin? I think he’s annoying.

Justin Timberlake: “BLahBLahBLahBLahBLahBLahBLahB Lah”

I like The Hills, but they have nothing to do with music.

Way to say it JTLake we do need more videos on MTV.

Thank god for at least one actual performance tonight

hee hee..I wonder if the “Hills” girls felt slighted by Justin’s comment..too funny

Go Justin… I might watch MTV if it were MUSIC TELEVISION

tell cee-lo to cut out the pelvic thrusting

Justin is SO DRUNK

Foo Fighters with Gnarls Barkley singing a Prince cover.

The only way to end this show is to have MTV implode on itself.

And the VMA goes to….Justin Timberlake for dropping more names on stage for his acceptace speech than Kid Rock does in song….I did not think that was even possible.

Man I wish I could’ve seen all of CEE LO and the Foo Fighters. This is making me frustrated.

OMG, Justin dissed LC, Audrina and the other The Hills chick in their face. what a jerkoff. I love the Hills. Fuck you timber

battle of the sexes with a bi-sexual myspace slut. wow mtv is really going downhill FAST!!

Tila Tequila’s reality show plugged as soon as JT says no more BS on MTV… Interesting.

Guys is this show the first sign of the apocalypse?

i missed what timberlake said about the hills girls, someone fill me in please.

Yeah, I’ll be the first one to admit that I hate lip syncing as much as the next guy, but Chris Brown killed it tonight with his dance moves and jumping all around the stage that there is no way not even the most in-shape person can jump around that hard and still have enough breath to pull off a killer voice performance too. For a venue like the VMA’s I think he knew the audience would rather see an awesome dance routine minus great singing then him sitting on a stool behind a mic and delivering a perfect vocal performance–def. wouldn’t have gotten him the standing applause he got tonight.

PS – Did I just she Ashanti in the audience? WTF is she doing there, wasn’t her last hit in like 2002?

Does Britney appear again? anybody know?

Why the freak is Tila Tequilla getting a Show on Mtv?

She needs to go to Vh1 with that crap.

Speaking of….is anybody watching Rock of Love?

On behalf of the MTV Network, I would like to address the negative feedback we’ve been receiving about the new format for the show.

Switching between performances allows us to
Oooh look! Shiny things!

Where was I?

Ok, 50 is on stage which means there is a heightened chance of shooting. God forbid, but, it would at least make this interesting.

He basically said they suck, which we all know anyway. No surprises there.

Justin said MTV needs more music videos – not more “Simpsons Reality Shows.” Not sure what the Simpsons thing meant…but the reality show thing must’ve hurt those young ladies who were probably hoping to “hang” with Justin!!

Oh Fiddy, I can see why many men wish death upon you.

I hope that person wasn’t really from MTV. If they were, That person clearly explains why the show sucks..

hes not using a teleprompter or anything…

Rock of LOve spoiler (they show it at 11 AM here)……………………. ………………………… ………………………… ………………………… ……………………..
Br andy goes home and p**ses of Bret Michaels in the process.

i love shia. did anyone see disturbia?

hes not using a teleprompter or anything…

Crap…I was drifting off.

Legend of the Crystal…Kingdom…Holy Grail…Skull…Kingdoms?

what is on shilo’s face is that suppossed to be a mustache?? lol

Did anyone make it to rehearsal before the show or are they giving out alcohol instead of water?

WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE RIHANNA?!?! NOT A GREAT SINGER, ANNOYING SONG, ARG @^#%#

Akward!!!! Get it together MTV.

Pam Anderson..oh my..she’s like 50 miles of bad road

wow the artists dont even know their cues to accept awards. stop serving up the boos.

haha pam and tommy lee. love it!!

OMG Ludacris doesn’t even want to be apart of this show.

More than halfway done. We’re going to make it out of this alive, people. Give thanks to the deity of your choice.

Wait. Fergie is the female artists of the year? There is no deity!

FERGIE????? fuckin A.. amy winehouse should be rolling over in her coma induced grave right now…. i demand a recount!

I vote that Andy Samberg hosts the 08 VMAs

when pam anderson is the most clever person on the show does that mean it is bombing?

Fergie Rocks!!!! But she didnt go!!! I think this show is cursed!!

How about, next year, do the whole thing animated!

Stale jokes are usually funnier in cartoon form.

Wow…Fergie’s not there? It’s her crappy music that is the reason why this award show sucks anyway.

Are they pumping some crazy drugs into the vents of the Palms? Everybody seems fucked up.

It’s the Kanye West and Justin Timberlake Show

where the hell is linkin park

I am really looking forward to the Daily 10 & Extra tomorrow just because of this train wreck. This is why tabloids were made.

I know what’s so different about MTV now vs. back in the day..

They’ve completely lost touch with the everyday people….now this stuff is more propaganda to create a star-struck nation obsessed with living a fantasy life that no one can afford.

I second the Andy Samberg nomination!!! Boo on Fergie, Amy Winehouse shoulda had that.

Usually when something is this bad it’s funny… I’m not laughing.

If you were Ludacris, wouldn’t you refuse to go up onstage too? Maybe the only moment of lucid career self-preservation all night. What’s going on with this show when the smartest, funniest line comes from from PAMELA ANDERSON? ”I had my tongue so far down his throat I could taste his Beyoncé.”

Wasnt the line ‘TASTE HIS FIANCE?’

Can we please have a moment of silence in honor of the death of Sara Silverman and Britney’s careers?

this is the worst its like watching a trainwreck!! who is directng? they should be fired!!1

Oh, I see. “Fiance and Beyonce” rhyme!

That Pam Anderson is a clever little shrew, she is!

Weezy + FOB= OMG AMAZING

This is an odd duet. Are they just doing this shit on the fly now?

For those looking for something entertaining, THe cowboys and giants put up 40 points in the first half. I’m tuning out this crap.

brendon urie + Weezy+ FOB= AMAZING!!!!

OMG, What did we just see?! Take me back to commercial. You’ll never be Aerosmith and DMC!

i think we need a moment of silence for the death of MTV…worst ever!!!

Ok Britney was drunk, Chris Brown and Rihanna was amazing and Justin was right! They need to stop switching shit back and forth. Tila needs go to back to myspace and well The Hills needs another landslide hopefully taking out all the rich self centered assholes in the process!

Actually Fergie was smart because she didnt go to VMAS this year, I saw her in Much Music Video Awards in Toronto on performing live and she was great!!! Actually the MMVA were better

oh look maybe another whole song???

Timbaland mtv needs the help…

I have been watching MTV since day 1 and this is the WORST VMA’s in the history of MTV it is a sad day when the host is fired witin 5 minutes and they would let Brit go on stage like that. I guess they would have love it if Amy Winehouse was there…

WHAT ARE YOU DOING MTV

Timbaland to Linkin PArk okayy
At least some good music!
Yay!

lp!!!! blEED IT OUTTT

I’m thinking a good performance would be Axl Rose in his corn rows doing a duet with Britney (minus her fake weaves and extensions)

Mike Shinoda is the biggest gangsta of the show, bar none.

“They’ve completely lost touch with the everyday people….now this stuff is more propaganda to create a star-struck nation obsessed with living a fantasy life that no one can afford.”

EXACTLY!! We want to see musical performances, not reality stars and the Palms Casino. Give us quality, not propaganda!

“They’ve completely lost touch with the everyday people….now this stuff is more propaganda to create a star-struck nation obsessed with living a fantasy life that no one can afford.”

EXACTLY!! We want to see musical performances, not reality stars and the Palms Casino. Give us quality, not propaganda!

Today is the day MTV dies.

“Ding dong, the witch is dead” as a munchkin might say.

But I do like where Justin’s going with this whole “playing videos on a video channel” idea. It’s so crazy, it just might work.

Maybe the big SURPRISE they’ve been insinuating will be the release date of Chinese Democracy!

A Miracle, Linkin Park complete performance!!! It was great

The 2007 VMA’s SUCK big. Between the reality show feel and the lack of good music couple with bad performance, MTV has some explaining to do. Everyone is already drunk…on stage

Damn, I wanted the shoutout.

Thanks DeadHorse, me and my boyfriend are changing the channel to watch the game. clue me in if Britney gets back onstage for another deflated performance!

enter: linkin park
enter: actual entertainment

got damn i love linkin park!!

totally worth sitting through 1hr and an half of complete and utter horsse turd

Watching this show is like stabbing myself in the eyes for 2 hours. I can’t believe they put Britney on live television. Let’s list the beauties of her performance: she wasn’t singing, wardrobe made her look like a fatass, she didn’t dance, and you can see where her hair is growing in because her extensions are so bad. Come on, she shouldn’t have a career anymore.

whos going to be a trainwreck?

hmm try EVERYONE.

Its pretty bad when the best thing the blogger has to comment on is the comments. Yep the producer of the show should be shot. Just stand in front of 50 cent.

Mark Ronson, my ass.

The Foos are the REAL house band here.

I don’t which had more thugs…the All Star BB weekend in Vegas or this really bad VMA….MTV really F&^%&’ed this one up….

Why does Serj look like Borat/Freddie Mercury?

hahaha omg serj looks like borat.

Dead Kennedy’s cover on MTV…What the hell is next.

Interesting fact:

Getting a special shout on the RS blog is actually more meaningful than receiving a VMA.

Bring on the coked-out junkie whores….

“Alicia Keys Rips It”?????wtf

There are no words to describe how awful kanye west is. I mean after watching that performance i dont get why he supposedly this “different and innovative” type of hip hop star. I’m going to go boil some water and drink it.

Don’t be hard on Britney. If the whole world was waiting for YOU to fall flat on your face, you wouldn’t have the usual confidence she didn’t have either.

So…….they think System of a Down and Linkin Park are rockin’ bands, just because they have guitars?

……………… I’m mad I don’t get Much Music channel anymore.

I envy you, JJR. I’m doing a “Kanye West” right now.

I keep waiting for something interesting to happen or at least a band I recognize! Why not let Akon, T-Pain, someone perform??

It’s a holiday in Cambodia! It’s tough kid, but it’s LIFE!!!

T-Cap, whats “doing a Kanye West”? What does that mean even?

Britney deserves every thing she gets.

OMG RIhanna = OBVIOUS LIP-SYNCH.

Why do the same 4 people keep performing?

What happened to this show???worst thing I’ve ever seen…and to open with such a disaster!!! Britney Spears at least used to be able to dance…forget singing…but tonight’s performance was her comeback??? You’ve got to be kidding!I was totally embarassed for her. What was she thinking? This sure isn’t going to do much for whatever self-esteem she has left. She was horrible!

These guys aren’t the least bit funny, but at least they cut off Rihanna. There is a god!

This Rihinna song is the worst rewrite of “Ignition” ever.

vote for this year’s loser OR vote on whether to do homework or continue watching VMAs…

I think VMAS told to Rihanna, “Shut up and drive” They didnt let her finish hahha stupid MTV

Fire the director!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Losing this award”….blah, blah, blah. Kid Rock I thought would be good but nada. I’m so over Rihana at this point. Ugh.

Ok was that weird? Rhinna was like look at me, over here, come on guys, LOOK AT ME!

Carrie Underwood nominated?
Is this Country Music Television?

I must have the wrong channel on..

oh look more commercials oh and about Britney its all her fault she is the one that did the stupid shit she did knowing the f**kin world watches her! Hmmmm Rihanna again, sounded like she stumbled through some lines i really think they decided to hand out alcohol instead of water.

If the whole world was waiting for me to fall flat on my face, I’d make damn sure I didn’t put myself on television looking like a completely drugged-out, washed-up has-been! Does she have no pride left? Or is she just too stoned to know what she’s doing?

So is anyone keeping a running tally of lip synced dance routines versus actual live music performance?

Doing a Kanye West:

1) Playing Seven Degrees of Separation (the Tommy Lee’s Hep C version)

2) Making Mike Myers look like a deer in the headlights

3) Rapping about conflict diamonds, then releasing a remix about partying at the Grammies instead.

The choice is yours.

Jenn, Kanye West is known for being a sore loser.

mtv actually is as horrible as people say it is. i mean for years everyone has been saying that it sucks and its not about music, but man it is an absolute fact now. i wonder if there is ONE person in the country right now watching the show and saying “wow this is great!” like what the hell is their target demographic….12 year olds, college students and adults alike CANNOT be enjoying this

dang alicia should be on roller skates w/that outfit!

omg is this BET?

Ms Keys looks like a Xanadu reject

i think that was system of a down singing holiday in cambodia.

i was thinkin bout alicia keys
couldn’t keep from cryin
when she was born in hell’s kitchen
i was livin down the line

Alica, where is your piano? Can somebody please not sell out?

Great, beautiful voice, though. Best performance yet.

Alicia…with no piano…looking like Diana Ross…I am confused

Alicia Keys is rocking the diana ross hairdo and Kiss boots..oh and the flashdance headband

How does the expression go… 10 lbs. of shit in a 5 lbs. bag.

It really says a lot about the night, when alicia keys sounds horrible

Actually, JJR answered your question much more effectively. Personally, I’d take #2.

wow alicia keys shouldve stopped after her first song. sounds like she is sayin uh-oh yep this is a mistake.

what were they thinking??? Britney was so bad I was embarassed for her. Forget her singing…she used to be able to dance. Tonight she didn’t even move…just shook her boobs a little. I hate to think what this experience will do for her almost-non-existent self esteem! Too bad, it could have been her chance to be HOT again. Oh, well…

Did Hollywood finally run out of money? This VMA show would clearly display that.

Is Alicia Keys trying to make Britney feel better about her outfit?

Alicia Keyes is really singing!! It’s a VMA miracle!!

Alicia has a great voice but she looks like ass. WTF??

Alicia Keyes is really singing!! It’s a VMA miracle!!

Get it Diana Ross

ummm….Alica is that you

geezze only the VMA’s could make her that bad

George Michael cover…really???
Hilarity!

Alicia Keys, what the fuck? She’s a lil chubby there. What is she singing?

Alicia’s Ass is now officially the high point of this show

I really want George Michael to walk out right now

Just read the joke about Pat Smear and it’s got me confused. He left the Foos 10 years ago. Did he pop up again or is Rob confused? I missed the performance so can’t verify…

I have a 12 year old and she is laughing her ass off at these people. So I guess this is a form of entertainment. But I don’t think that’s how MTV indended it to be.

I really want George Michael to walk out right now

Oh, aha! Thanks, I don’t even have an ipod. I appreciate the education.

Alicia – Red beans and rice obviously didn’t miss her.

Alicia looks like ass. I wish someone would knock those white glasses off Kanye’s obnoxious face.

Oh, THAT’s why the song was in “Chuck and Larry”.

Alicia looks like ass. I wish someone would knock those white glasses off Kanye’s obnoxious face.

this is why i don’t watch tv.

The real tragedy is that tomorrow I will be at my job all day, working to pay my mortgage while these idiots live the high life..

If I have to see Kanye one more time…I swear!

A George Michael cover? Let’s just be thankful that he didn’t come out hand in hand with Sen. Craig… actually that would have the highlight of the night.

That really was Pat playing with the Foo Fighters. I guess it was a guest performance, but I wouldn’t know because the ASS PILOTS running this show won’t let us watch anything long enough to figure it out.

Sugar Were goin down… finally!!!!

FoB even sounded bad but heyy at least its their own voices…
Lets see our choices shitty sounding voices or obnoxiously dressed bad lip synching….
or britney aka all of the above.

FREEDOM!!! I’d free myself from this and change the channel if it wasn’t such a great train wreck. Although, thank the MTV man on the moon and the music of George Michael for one actually performed performance!

I never thought it would come to this…but I’m missing an R.Kelly performance right about now.

ANOTHER suggestion for the “big surprise”.

Led Zeppelin. Reunion.

It’s happening anyway. Just saying.

Mark Ronson wrote that craptacular song “Stop Me” all about tonight’s VMA awards.

Jesus Christ, will someone stop this awards show, especially because I’ve heard all this shit before.

the same reality commercials over and over and over and over and over…STOP THE MADNESS!!!!

Kanye needs a big ass clock because he looks like flavor flav in those glasses.

I was half-expecting FOB to break into Ginuwine’s “Pony”.

Gym Class Heroes+FOB+Ne-Yo? WHY ISN’T THIS THE ACTUAL SHOW?

oh look a white girl…

Thanks Rob for the TCM schedule. Its a pleasant distraction from this complete meltdown we all keep flicking the channel back to.

oh look a white girl…

for craps sake is that a DeBarge cover I am gonna piddle myself laughing Comedy Central should get in on this!

Did Tommy Lee and Kid Rock have a fight? Why can’t they show that! I want to see that.

An actual live performance where you can hear the whole song is on HBO2E (repeat of Justin’s Labor Day concert).

Jennifer just wiped Jamie’s spit out of her eye

Where is Silverman? Why hire someone who is off color if you don’t want off color comedy?

Tommy Lee and Kid Roc fight?!?!?! now that would have made the show

I wanted Peter, Bjorn and John to win. Just to see the confusion that would have followed.

Jamie Foxx, demonstrating what would happen if this show HAD A HOST.

I should hope that who ever came up with the idea for this new formal will be fired and never allowed near an awards show ever again!

jennifer and jamie just came from sharin a joint backstage… Gym Class Fallout????

Did she really just say “Gym Class Fallout?” WTF?!!

You better be fucking kidding me!

Again, what’s with showing the irresponsible drinking in the suites?

Gym class heroes? Obviously no one over 14 years old knows how to text A for Amy Winehouse.

This is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. What was with that Gym Class Heroes acceptance?

K so um someone asked if there is one person in this country actually loving this show? Well there is one, my friend. Don’t worry people, she has bad taste in everything lol

did she really get gym class heroes’s name wrong… gym class fall out?

WHAT Amy Winehouse should have won best new artist…. she is the ONLY artist with a orginal sound. She would have looked sober compared to this lot….

Can anyone understand what the fuck miss teen USA just said?

No more… just NO MORE!

what the f***? jamie fox and jennifer garner? followed by Miss North Carolina? perfect..the whole show sucks…such as.

After the commercial break
KEG STANDS!!! woohooo

omg i NEED A Map!!!
just cant afford one…weep…
Where is the United States Miss SC???

Acceptance speech:”I’d like to thank this drink in my hand and uh…gulp…gulp…gulp.”

Miss F&*%king junior South Carolina? Did Dick Clark produce this shit?

Wu-Tang teaser? Junior Miss USA girl talking more? My boxer just barked at the television.

teen usa girl you still cant speak and oh yeah spoofs are only funny if someone else spoofs you. so the worst um britney or the tila reality show?

the only way to redeem this show is if Chris Angel does make Brit Brit disappear for the finale!

I AM BLOND AND SPEAK LIKE A ROBOT

This is bad….not funny…..jeez. Fire everybody and Kill kanye, justin, alicia, rihanna and whoever else is ANNOYING ME! I think the best performance at this point was Britney. Anyone agree?

We could use a Led Zep reunion right now and the could sing the one song to express what this steaming pile has felt like — “10 Years Gone”.

I think we just found out who has been writing/producing/directing this show.
The greatest US American such as….

Almost missed my name in there. I’m chock full of wondrous suggestions.

I hope the beauty queen is at least smart enough to know she should be embarrassed.

Yeah. I’ve got to agree. Brittany was the highlight of the show. That’s not saying much.

Karen, I agree. At least Britney created (-) buzz, everything else is just stale or artists stroking their hideous egos.

I say they play the whole, like 11 minute Achilles Last Stand. Kind of as a warmup.

wow gym class fallout followed by another dumbass that cant speak
no wonder i dyed my hair so i wouldnt be confused with anything resembling a blonde

this is pretty funny, it’s like mtv execs just decided you know what this award is really pretty meaningless, let’s just turn this into an excuse to watch celebrities and random reality stars make idiots out of themselves, I gotta give it up to JT though I think he is the only one who realizes how ridiculous this whole thing is and he gave a pretty good speech considering he was wasted,

i’m really speechless, mtv is officially dead

Wtf ! Why am I still watching this show to see if it can possibly get any worse? My life sucks. Mtv sucks. Britney sucks.

after watching this britney was the highlight. wow. maybe it will be her comeback after all!

Rob-

PLEASE do me a favor. I sat through this horrible event, can you make it worth it by giving me a shoutout on the RS blog? It would make me feel better, because if not, my head will explode soon from all the crappy music. Thank you, and if you will give the shoutout to Nolan haha.

Thank you,
Here’s to your valor and courage in watching/reporting on this crappy show!

EVERYDAY IS DRE DAY

hee hee

Dre? Retox is coming out?

Oh, it’s just Dre. I thought Jeebus was going to make his 1st VMA appearance

who?

Mary J. Blige= either has smoked way to much pot and has brain cell loss or the teleprompter is screwed.

Dre looks like his shirt is inflated but hot air

No Eminem duet? Pfft.

when did dre get on the roids?!?

Is Dr. Dre on roids? HA!

Dre looks like his shirt is inflated by hot air

justice better win.

Dr. Dre looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Best comment just made by my lady:

I think last year’s K-Fed performance was BETTER than Brit’s. Wow, talk about perspective. This is horrible.

Dre’s been in the gym!!!

Best comment just made by my lady:

I think last year’s K-Fed performance was BETTER than Brit’s. Wow, talk about perspective. This is horrible.

I heart Dre. It’s over. I’m going to the bar to forget I wasted two hours of my life.

NO!

yea. So i’ll probably be the only one who sort of agrees with the win for best video. Other than Justice, her video probably did not cost more than the GDP of half of the countries in Africa

Boy, We should consider ourselves pretty damn lucky to have Rihanna, Beyonce, Justin and gang..without them, I guess it would be “the day the music died.”

Bye, bye ms.american pie..

MASTADON!!!!!!!!!!

holy shit…MASTODON!!! they should be headlining this crappy show

oh look pink dress

They DEFINITELY need more scary dudes with beards on this show. Or Eddie Vedder.

Charles Manson escaped and it playing with Queens of the Stone Age

Dr. Dre – Strait outta Gold’s Gym.

MASTODON AND JOSH HOMME FROM QUEENS….WOW!!!

I think a surprise appearance from MJ could have actually lent a little pizazz to this otherwise dull show. I mean it couldn’t have made any worse. And yeah Mtv needs to go back to what they were originally put on the air for….VIDEOS!!!!!!! I mean we have other channels made for all that reality crap. Let’s start a chant…WE WANT OUR MTV…THE WAY IT WAS.

so wait. how many awards did we actually see? seven? and oh look! yet another preview for the kingdom!

Gym Class Fallout? Seriously… that was added comedy.

oh a whole preformance not lip synched lets watch????

I have a strange urge to listen to “Bullet the Blue Sky”. I heard it SOMEWHERE.

Tommy Lee v. Kid Rock would have saved this show!! MTV was to busy pushing their reality crack!

Nelly Furtado is a blonde now?

For the record, this is my fav Nelly F song….

whoa nelly!!!! the hat???

Timberlake and Nelly Furtado are the suprise? Hahahaha, thats appropriate.

Nelly Furtado dyed her eyebrows. That’s dedication.

well, this was the wors VMAs ever.

well, this was the worst VMAs ever.

Nelly furtado looking like Madonna, huh?

Shouldn’t the object of SURPRISES be to SURPRISE?

Assessment: Bad club music.

Wait it isn’t the end. The lights just made the whole fucking show for me.

I think a great finale would have been Van Halen (with David Lee Roth) kicking off their hyped reunion tour…(not sure that’s even still happening)..but that would redeem MTV back to its roots

timbaland singing about being poor
oh well at least he looks good
and he is actually playing music
justin actually signing somethin other then ayo? wtf is this

Anyone else see Justin almost fall doing his footwork onto stage? Drunk ass.

Why, why, why do they refuse to have one entire performance? I’m glad I don’t have seizures, because this show would’ve given me about 32.

JT- champion of the weak longjump

I could have SWORN I saw K-Fed as one of Justin’s backup dancers.

gag me!!!! this is the finale??? what a waste!

They would have held a lot more people through this show if they’d opened with this… poor poor MTV

wow a preformace on the main stage. not my taste but at least its a performance that looks planned and rehearsed.

Make the performance stop. At least their not lip-syncing, but END THIS HORRIBLE EVENT NOW!

All-in-all a totally shiteous evening.

sayy yeeeaaaa
yeeaaa this show sucked.

it’s over? the end was worse than the beginning…

she cant dance, sing – unprepared and looked like Elvis did at the end of his career. this was a joke!

i think this was all just an episode of “made: i wanna direct the vmas.”

back on Britney..I think they should fire the person who forgot to stock the RED BULL in her dressing room..she obviously is addicted to it and probably hadn’t had a can in 10 minutes or more

They should’ve brought on Radiohead. Seriously.

Oh thank god so many people in the music industry can dance. Are all of the singers in the dancing industry?

the bad news: that was one of the worst things to ever grace my television set

the good news: supposedly according to mtv it will never be shown on TV again

I think the fitting end song would have been Radiohead’s “How to Disappear Completely”. It captures the entire feel of the show in just under six minutes.

wait, they called Britney’s song a “LIVE DEBUT”

doesn’t that lead one to believe it was actually sung…”live” like as in by a real person at the very moment??

wow, now we get to watch the “after party”. wonder if all the performers will get together to talk about how “great” the show was.

Well that’s 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back and a bottle of wine to get thru it. Why didn’t they just air JT’s HBO concert. Oh Wait, they did at the end…..what’s that…….shiny things..

Just wanted to thank all of you fellow bloggers for making these 2 painful hours at least somewhat entertaining!!

My dog has to poop so I must depart to the back yard…

Let me get this straight. Not ONE camera on Kid Rock and Tommy Lee?

AAAAan here’s Britney again. We’ll be seeing this a lot tommorrow, trust me.

Let me get this straight. Not ONE camera on Kid Rock and Tommy Lee?

AAAAand here’s Britney again. We’ll be seeing this a lot tommorrow, trust me.

Why were there so few awards?

Why were athe majority of the performance not on the main stage?

Why were the performances cut off for commercials?

Why didn’t we see Tommy and Kid duke it out?

Why did they have Sarah Silverman on in the first place?

Why are they showing this again?

OH SHIT now we have to re-live the moments again. Hmm, maybe now that the rest of the country is drunk these moments will be entertaining?

They should have had tay Zonday close the show.

this mtv vma licked my nuts. it was the worst thing i have ever witnessed on television, and i witnessed a lot of shit. this was the cream of the crop, and britney spears stands a top of it.

MTV is done.
Spears is done, thank God.

They both hung themselves tonite.

Maybe now we can get back to REAL music???????????????

WTF!!!!!! BIGGEST SHIT ever…is there a golden girls special soon??? i’m feeling old like justin

OMG! These are the WORST VMAs ever ever and ever!!! Everything was horrible!!! Britney, honey, go home now, rest, raise your children and maybe come back later when you are yourself again. What a waste of time I feel I just had…not gonna happen next yearm that I assure. VMAs are officially done for me.

it`s official America is out of talent. Worse show ever, Britney blows.

This years VMA’s were horrible, its pathetic to think Britney’s performance was the only highlight of the show, except for Justin’s amazing singing…..

justin may have been drunk but he’s not an idiot. when he said “no more simpsons reality shows” he meant jessica and ashlee. i second that justin!

that shit was worse than rush hour 3.

Worste show ever…did any of you guys see 50cents diss Beyonce by not kissing her, she was like “ok then” and man did she look pissed!!!!

How did it go from Nirvana, Guns n’ Roses, and Pearl Jam to this? MTV needs to give it up. It has no creditability anymore. How do you have a VIDEO music award show and only have one award for a video? They should just stick to showing reality shows.

I must Say! Btitney looked a Hot Ass Mess, I’ve seen better performances in teenage talent shows, he outfit looked like it came from the Slawson swap-meet, and she should have went to see Saaphyrie on 54th and Crenshaw to tighten up that horrible weave!

Little Mama looked like a rejected umpa lumpa from Willie Wonkas Chocolate Factory, and as for Briteny I think LL said it best “Don’t call it a comeback” because it was’nt

MTV biggest piece of shit ever… A little kid could have pulled that off… so amateurs…don’t blaime it all on Britney the entire show was horrible and pathetic, it was so boring and akward. If I wanted to watch the Justin Timberlake concert once again I would have watched it on HBO. MTV is going to have to fire the producers of the show it sucked big time…

Why did MTV try to pass off Cortney Love as Britney Spears? For Shame!

woah. britney looks flabby.

What! Lil’ Mama, explaining her costume: “This is the birth of hip-pop, and I’m basically the baby of that? What? How old is this girl?

wtf!! Maroon 5 was on for all of 30 seconds…Britney, can u at least open your mouth and pretend to lipsynch. So much 4 the Cris Angel ’spectacle.’ ….Chris Brown brought the house down, props 2 him…

One true positive about the VMA’s – it does show the state of the current music industry. And right now, that state is a suckass one indeed. Just ask Miss SC where it’s located – give her a map with nothing but locations for toxic waste dumps and cesspools.

wow,so funny. Two things to say that i hope some people will read. 1. I just relised that I just watched the whole f–king thing and i have no fuking idea who won what. no, im not kidding. I seriously have no idea who won what fucking award. I wind that funny. All i remember id that Justin won the first two awards and its all black from ther. The “Switching between performances allows us to
Oooh look!
Shiny things!
Where was I?” comment was so frikin true its erie. and i the only one who felt that way?? and also, The most exiting thing was britney. does anyone see how messed up that is? The most exciting, memorable thing of the night was watcxhing somebody crash and burn miserably. wow.

‘WOW!’ is the only phrase that can truly describe tonight’s show…

First off, was Britney constipated? Paralyzed? No? Then here’s a suggestion, Brit: LIFT A GODDAMN LEG! Seriously! There are only two possible explanations for her lackluster performance tonight: (1) She realized five seconds into the performance her career was actually over, or (2) She was distracted by the confused glare of the audience. Honestly, I’ve never seen that face on so many celebrities when they weren’t getting arrested for DUI!

Secondly, Sarah Silverman must’ve been trying to make Britney feel better. If not, I’d appreciate if she could name the person that actually writes the jokes on her show! And did that Paris Hilton ‘joke’ slip into personal territory or did Sarah think it was actually funny?

*Sighs* I’ll rant some more once I finish watching it on the ‘Net. Apparently, it’s just as bad on your computer!

mtv decided to put everything they had into this years vmas and completely revamp it. as if the pre-show description wasn’t confusing enough, the actual show proved to delve us deeper into the black abyss. the vmas were a two hour retort to 50, j. timbs, and timbaland, screaming ay-no technology! pick one: tv or the internet.

Britney did not seem nervous. She looked medicated. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the whole show sucked. In fact, everyone on it did!

MTV and its 60 registered jolts per given minute per viewer. This year’s VMAs didn’t completely underperform. The show doesn’t need syndication, it needs ritalin.

I like how the show is a one-time deal, but then repeated IMMEDIATELY after the original ended. Stupid. The show was lame.

Most importantly on the night: Turner Classic Movies was TEARIN’ IT UP!! Like Rob mentioned, they had “Love & Death” and “Zelig” on, but before that they kicked off with “Radio Days”!!! So awesome!!!

Advantage: TURNER

I allready know that all you Rollingstone people and the people who comment are complete bitxhes, but please prove me wrong. I really want to see the full show on my PC. I missed soome, the begining mainly wit Sara Silverman. and some in the middle. whatever. Please, someone Email me a link to where i can see the Full Show or at least the 5 minute Sara Silverman Clip.please be nive. My Email is homeworkhater5@yahoo.com
plea se people.plese. and this aint off topic, RS dont remove this.

This year’s VMA’s were just plain awkward.
I did end up watching most of the three Woody Allen movies shown on TCM tonight; I didn’t need much persuassion to watch them obviously, but the shitty VMA’s gave me a push toward the remote.

Anybody who thinks that the MTV awards was the worst piece of shit waste of time since TV was invented is completely…right. And Chunky Spears was just plain horrible.

i hope the comment from eric v above was verberg. wassup fool?

i kind of liked the show, very snappy

one knows what MTV’s best broadcasts were…those were a long time ago…what happened between then and now? terrible is the only word to describe what MTV has come to.

i thought brittney looked good for 40 yo. Ashton will be knocking on her door

BRING BACK THE MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS!

Has MTV taken the Video out of the MTV Video Music Awards? Have they tried to do with Video Music Awards what they have done with the MTV Movie Awards? With eccentric first time categories such as Monster Single of the Year, have they taken what makes the MTV Movie Awards unique and have added that to this year’s VMA’s? While this works well for the MTV Movie Awards, it doesn’t quite work for the MTV Video Music Awards.

Missing categories this year, such as Best Rock Video, Best Hip-Hop Video and so on, celebrated the best videos per category for the year. It shone a spotlight on the groundbreaking videos for the past year, highlighted artists who were pushing the visual envelope. All that’s really left to celebrate the art of video are the only Video Awards still existing i.e. Video of the Year, Best Director and Best Editing. With fewer categories also come fewer videos being highlighted. Newer categories don’t celebrate the video but perchance the hype.

From the time nominations were released to the Awards themselves I was left wanting. MTV has already taken the music video out of MTV, now they take the Video out of the MTV Video Music Awards. Clearly the plot has been lost. The videos are no longer the forefront; the hype of what is so-hot-right-now has taken center stage. This plot was slowly being lost over the years but this year it seemed to be thrown out the window. Justin Timberlake is right, bring videos back to MTV.

Last year’s VMA’s was one for the books. All the awards were voted for by the fans, which took the old VMA formula and provided more input from the viewers. As a result it was a no holds barred affair ensuing an opportunity for the underdog to rule. It was a fresh twist on the awards and it worked. This year however left a lot unsatisfied.

While previous years’ awards had more categories, another element missed this year were the many performances. This year we saw mostly snippets of party performances in different areas of the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, where the show was hosted. While the performers were impressive, the visual allure was missing. Missed were the performances in their entirety, with the over the top stage designs, the lights and the action. A handful of the performances were aired in full and the rest were like scenes from a wild party.

Surprise performances helped MTV’s cause a little bit, but didn’t quite fill the void. Surprise performances and collaborations were perhaps all that really made the show worth watching this year. Ne-Yo performing with Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy, Cee-Lo and Foo Fighters were amongst those collaborations. Britney Spears’s big come back performance had perhaps the most hype but also wasn’t quite enough either to make the show very memorable. But this was surely the first step in her comeback and she will have a lot more to offer later sooner than we imagine. And the closer was definitely the showstopper this year as it had the visual elements the rest of the performances lacked, plus they were among the hottest songs of the year being performed collectively.

Perhaps MTV has their reasons. Perhaps it’s a budget thing. Perhaps it’s an attempt to be innovative. Whatever it is it just didn’t seem to work. Perhaps we were just meant to enjoy the music and party like we too were in Vegas. Perhaps we will have to wait until after the votes are in for the best performances and the edited viewers’ choice edition is aired. Perhaps then some needs will be fulfilled. Perhaps those are too many perhapses, but we can only assume can’t we?

Don’t get me wrong, I am not entirely dissatisfied with this year’s show. There were some great performances. And Justin Timberlake and Fall Out Boy were among the winners which wasn’t bad at all considering the fact that they had some great videos this year. This was for Best Male and Best Group though, not for Male Video or Group Video, which leads me back to the argument with which I began… This is the Video Music Awards we are talking about. But I will assume they won for their videos. I can also celebrate with the fact that Gym Class Heroes won the Best New Artist Award (as I voted for them). This was the only award voted for the viewers, and, well, I guess the viewers know best. They are the ones watching after all.

Maybe change isn’t that bad and I should embrace it, but why take the video out of the Video Music Awards? Because it has really just become the MTV Music Awards it seems. And where’s the fun in that? Or is that where the funny new category names come in? I just wish they’d focus on the videos. I was looking forward to seeing videos such as 30 Seconds To Mars “From Yesterday” and The Used “The Bird and the Worm” being nominated as well, but alas. Videos weren’t being celebrated this year it seems. I look forward to the show each year and I hope that will never change. I can only hope this was an experiment or a Vegas thing… Let’s hope they leave what happened in Vegas, really stays in Vegas.

– Lameez

she is capable of doin way WAY better – she isnt on top of her game yet. but i’m sure she’ll make it

Brit’s a fat has-been
Dre is on roids
We all feel old, like Justin
The best part of the show didn’t air (Kid and Tommy’s fight)
I’m ashamed to be part of the MTV generation.

Were these the VMA’s or the BET Awards

I felt that the Britney Spears performance fell flat, and Rock took a backseat (like always), it didn’t take a backseat, it got thrown off the car.

i think that britney is still in her 20’s. she is way too young (yet too old) for ashton.

so, why is MTV still on the air? it’s like a giant baton of suck was passed around tonight.

MTV just blew a lot of money on the VMAs and they were one of the worst thigns I have ever seen on TV. Brittany looked like she was high while performing. She looked like she had no idea of what she was supposed to to on stage, which wasnt singing because she was lip sinking. Chris brown was insane as expected, it is a shame that he had the only performance with watching. I think MTV has lost sight of why people watch the VMAs because watching celebs rocking out in a big hotel room with stripper poles and a DJ was not appealing for a second.

well, thats it, i’m standing by my girl, i loved from her days in locker room halls, and i’ll love her lookin like amatuer porn star. I am going down with the ship !!!

I laughed until I cried watching that idiot Britney on stage. I won’t even say “perform” because she didn’t. She couldn’t even remember the words to her own song & the lip-syncing was worse than ever!!

Now she is blaming Sara Silverman for her joke of a performance.

Let’s all pray that Brit will now realize she is a has-been & take a cue from the REAL performers that rocked the house, like Chris Brown, Alicia & Justin – - those were stellar performances.

Sorry I missed it, I was watching paint dry.

Thanks Rob! Absolutely one of the funniest blogs I have ever read. And SO TRUE!

That was the best most random and most hilarious thing I’ve ever read , that blog is embodies the reason why people love Rolling Stone, keep up the awesome work.

This would have been the single worst award show ever if not for one minor detail that, as a result, made it the single greatest award show ever. What detail would that be? Well, I’ll tell you.

Forget Britneys zombie slob performance, forget Silvermans wannabe attempt to be funny and hip, forget Kanyes bitching and whinning, forget Kid Rock and Tommy Lees eye scratching-hair pulling fight, forget Justin, forget, Beyonce, forget the Foo Fighters, forget all of those drunken cracked out overrated botox face MTV stars and the disgusting lifestyles that they live.

The reason the 2007 Video Music Awards was the greatest show on earth can be summed up with nine awe inspiring words:

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL!

Booyaaaa!

MTV should retire. We should air YouTube videos of amateur artists doing better renditions of these songs than the overrated singers killin em with lipsynching!!

ROCK N ROLL on MTV is dead my friends thats why you guys suffer through it and I didn’t! nanan ha!
CLEOSINSANE!

Concerning MTV, that Wal-Mat whore Don Henley sang it best:

“Out on the road today I saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac, little voice inside my head said don’t look back, you can never look back.”

Regarding Dame Spears:

It’s only a matter of time before Britney is doing Trimspa commercials and boning that Larry Blackhead guy and relying on Howard “Special K” Stern for emotional sustinance. But, I bet your mamma didn’t look like that when she had two kids now did she. She’s not a girl not yet a woman (certainly an airhead) but definitely a MILF. Let Vanessa Huggies try that after she has some youngins yaw!

Concerning da fight: White folks can’t so you better stop frontin Kid before Tommy whips out the old you no what and beats you half silly. Actually, if Bret Michaels were to get involved we’d have us a Texas Death Cage Match rockers would pay to see. Anyway, Kid’s just jealous because he didn’t get to make a movie like the other boys. I know I’d be….

Beltway Greg.

I will patiently wait for the return of the true King of Pop. Not a KOP wannabe, not some young lil man doing a so-so imitation, not new songs on the radio with a ‘MJ feel’ to them, but the real true King of Pop. A true talent, a trail blazer, a real artist. Sometimes you never know what you had until you miss it. I feel bad for you youngins, because you are all being jipped. You are being fed a bunch of junk. The majority of these so called performers today need to go get day jobs. I will never forget back in the 80’s and 90’s, how people waited for the award shows to come on, it was an event, you brought your ass home, you did your homework, took your bath, got your school clothes out and ironed for the next day, you got all that out the way so there would be NOTHING between you and the show. I witnessed Motown 25 live, nothing will ever beat that. I watched the Grammys and the AMA’s when they didn’t make you wanna throw up, I watched MJ go up and get dam near 50 awards, all well deserved, because nobody could come close to what he was doing. Blazing trials that still can’t be walked on. I watched the beginning of hip hop and rap, when the words meant something and you knew you were witnessing history being made. I’ve seen performances by true Diva’s that can actually sing, that commanded the stage and gave their best. They all blazed hardcore, and I am thankful I got to witness it. What is this shit today? Why are you all buying this crap? Demand real talent! Ya’ll know dam well your grandma can sing and dance better than most of these chumps. MTV needs to hang it up, it’s over. Shame on me for even watching the show. Made me feel proud to be getting old. I have been spoiled on good music and will not accept this garbage. Now back to my corner, to wait on the King. And when he gets here, you bitches better bow down!

Britney SUCKS! And all her excuses for her horrid performance don’t fly. Blame mtv, blame sara silverman, blame her alleged broken heel that magically seemed fine when she ran off stage, blame everyone but your sad sad self…because you chose to wear that slutty outfit that made you look like an overweight hooker on crack. And by the way- the fake blue contacts made you look even crazier then normal…were you trying to hide your bloodshot eyes and dilated pupils? Most importantly- we know you can’t sing and never could- but at least try to lip synch as though it is real, you might fool a few die hard fans while the rest of us laugh. You forgot the words to your own song- and stopped lip singing altogether at one point. Considering that there are only 2 words to your whole song- gimme more= pretty sad that you couldn’t remember that. Perhaps it was the drugs you were on. Go away!

Awesome blow by blow, Rob. And that’s what it felt like trying to watch that fucking travesty of an awards show. Damn right, they say every year it can’t get much worse, well, I don’t see how they could ever top that one in the realm of suckdom….Wait a minute, it’s MTV. Someday, somehow, they’ll top it. I also find it interesting that they’re still calling the show the “Video Music Awards”….hmmm. It’d be all fine except….THEY DON’T PLAY ANY FUCKING VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incidentally, I thought it was hilarious when Justin accepted the whatever it was award (best male performer or something, who cares) and blew off those spoiled little Hills girls without even looking in their direction as they were shooed to the other side of the stage. And for him to twice call MTV out on their need to play videos? Props Justin…..Too bad I’m not still in college as I could probably write a pretty good thesis on why that network and that show was and is so bad. Britney!!!! You did not disapoint.

I have seen a lot of these shows, but that was the worst of everything! Production, catagories, no one looked like they gave a crap. The Foo’s were the only thing worth watching. Overall the show was UNWATCHABLE!

okay, one little gem no one’s commented on– John Norris’ make-up! Was that supposed to be glam rock? Hmmm…

It must have taken her a lotta guts to get up there on that stage, knowing she’s not the Hollyrude body anymore. Girl has to stop basing her self-worth on what kind of sex object the audience sees her as. Performance wise, girl wasn’t there. She was clearly stiff and uncomfortable. Her gig last night says so much about our society and how fucked up it is. What’s worse, I waited and waited until the clip cropped up on video to watch it after it aired!

Sine we could only stand to see the first award given out ( to watch any longer….UGH! ) I thought I was going to have a seizure as they announced the nominations. Britney… did she almost fall, how many times??? Sad, sad, sad.

I’m sorry, I just can’t help it… It’s from Bye Bye Birdie… a movie from my childhood. Cue Paul Lynde.. and a one and a two and a…

Kids!
I don’t know what’s wrong with these kids today!
Kids!
Who can understand anything they say?
Kids!
They a disobedient, disrespectful oafs!
Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers!
While we’re on the subject:
Kids!
You can talk and talk till your face is blue!
Kids!
But they still just do what they want to do!
Why can’t they be like we were,
Perfect in every way?
What’s the matter with kids today?
Kids!
I’ve tried to raise him the best I could
Kids! Kids!
Laughing, singing, dancing, grinning, morons!
And while we’re on the subject!
Kids! They are just impossible to control!
Kids! With their awful clothes and their rock an’ roll!
Why can’t they dance like we did
What’s wrong with Sammy Caine?
What’s the matter with kids today!

and grammar has two m’s.

Ooops, I mean, I had to wait to see it online because I don’t have TV. Not that I’d watch that performance more than once–I’m not a masochist.

Was it me, or did John Norris just look down right scary? Was he auditioning to be a member of Duran Duran?

Sorry to say this , but … Spears really sucks !!!!

Guess I just love Britney no matter what she does– thought she was soo good last night- made my day !!

I can’t wait for the “Inside the VMAs” special in which the show’s producers brag about how wild and out of control and, ya know, “rock and roll” this whole catastrophe was. Weee, look at us, we’re rebels.

This years “production” was a complete disgrace and an embarrassment to any producer and right-minded music listener. I remember the days when the VMA’s were the place to be. The red carpet was flooded with A-list music, movie, and television stars. Sure there were always the few that liked to rage against conformity and brought us headlines of shoddy fashion choices and brash red carpet comments but what award show doesn’t have them? Faulty fashion aside those VMA’s still proved to be the stellar yet slightly naughty stepchild in a line of super structured network award shows. What I saw last night was not only yet another misstep by the unfortunately infamous Spears but a serious swan dive by the producers of the VMA’s. Off to a hideous and uncomfortable start by Brit the show never recovered…nor did it even have a chance had the show been opened by someone far more talented. Did anyone bother to do a rehearsal of any kind? Was it a cooky MTV style twist to have presenters look like lost children in Home Depot leaving such stars as Jennifer Garner and Shia LeBeouf looking left and right for some sign of structure? Lets not forget the classy in audience brawl of Tommy Lee and Kid Rock followed by the emotionally moving (please note a SEVERE sarcastic tone) acceptance of Best New Artist Gym Class Heroes which was executed without a single word but plenty of on camera chugging. Gone are the days of finely tuned, sensational showcases of singing and dancing and all around heart racing presentations. Long story short at the conclusion of this embarassing display I was left waiting for Ashton Kutcher to walk on camera and announce that the viewing public had been Punk’d and the farce I had just witnessed was merely a prank…sadly, I’m still waiting.

hey lameez, good one.

I literally live up the street from The Palms Casino. I could not have been more uninterested this year to watch the VMA’s. When the “monster” single of the year is awarded to a lame sexual metaphor of a song called “Umbrella”. Another nominated video is a teenager singing about lip gloss. It shows that MTV isn’t interested in showcasing music anymore. I can honestly think that a nature channel could have done a better job with a music video award show than what MTV have done the past 5 years.

she looks like she’s sucking in her belly a little bit

britney and that other annoying bitch’s nasally voice. what a night.

MTV Award producers – need to be fired!!!!
Britney – this girl is no Madonna …GAME OVER
Sarah S. – You are NOT funny!
Chris Brown – kid has talent , this was the first time I saw him lip synch, hopefully he will polish his act
Rihanna – boring, generic pop singer… pretty girl but she CANNOT sing.
Kanye- enjoyed his performace of the Good Life but I wish he would stop whining!
Justin – always sexy!!

I haven’t watched a VMA in probably 10 years b/c they got really bad.

i am sorry i spent last night watching it an hoping it would get better. i can never get those hours back…

and i LOVE las vegas, but it made vegas look stupid.

the vma’s belong in NY, they seem to be better there.

i feel older than i am they sucked so bad.

maybe rs isn’t a cokehead, but i have it on good authority that he’s a full-blown smack junkie!

hey britney. get some new moves && more clothes!!

Oh MTV – so lost and out of touch on your little island. Forget about the main stage lip syncing. If it is the Music awards – shouldn’t it be about the music. If I remember correctly the show is not called the MTV Video Dancing Awards – so lip syncing is unacceptable and quite embarrassing. Then throw in Silverman, and Alicia Keys and you have a show that starts off like a Methadone clinic. Where were the sparks – the enthusiasm. Viewer’s choice winners Gym Class Hero’s were too busy pounding vodka cran’s to even see, or yet alone embrace their Moon Man. How fitting that it is a Moon Man by the way – floating hopelessly in space – out of communication range. “Ground control to Major Tom” should have been a 8 second clip – before they cut away to a commercial about another reality show no one will watch. Ms. beauty pageant – really?!
Moreover, I grew up listening to Video of the Year going to rediculous recipients – and their excuse was to give it to the best VIDEO of the year. So why did this year’s winner not even thank her director? Why was 50 even up there with Kanye as he did all the talking – oh and blabbering incorherent run on, grammerless sentences about our President doesn’t make you a political activist – or yet alone a triple threat. What happened to all the awards – because 6 of them is not going to cut it.
One last thing – I love how they let us rate Mastodon – who they labeled the Foo Fighters when they got their 10 seconds of glory. But don’t allow us to rate Britney’s blunders. They must already know that she would average 1/2 a moon man out of 5. This was the worst Music Award show they have ever done – congradulations! We will all look back and laugh at the white sunglass lunacy, and laugh – as we now laugh at White Snake/Winger videos. The end must be near – because music is the last thing they know or even focus on. They’re as fake as Time Square – what a perfect location for their outfit. My award goes to Ludacris – because I wouldn’t want to go up on that stage either.

THANK YOU AMERICANS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND YO!MTV I WANT MY MOOFOO.TIME WASTED BACK OR REDO THIS!

I LOVE AMERICAN TRAIN-WRECK SHOWS.THANKS MTV OOPS! U DID IT AGAIN.NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME

The Terrorists have won…

I skipped the VMAs and watched porn instead. The stars know up front they are going to get f**cked, the sucking is intentional, to “blow” is a good thing, and there’s always a happy ending.

This VMA was a complete joke! It had nothing to do with the damn music. The producers let everyone down and completely dropped the ball on this one. MTV is dedicated to MUSIC right? MTV needs to really get back into the music, not everything else, just the music!

“Switching between performances allows us to
Oooh look!
Shiny things!
Where was I?”

Priceless. Sums up the whole debacle perfectly !

imagine vma without britney…..maybe were gonne talk how boring that would be…and yey rihanna

well this was smugly clever.

and congrats on liking fellini…jesus can we get some writers?

Vinegar:

YOU’RE ALL A BUNCH OF FUCKIN’ SLAVES!!!

Iactully liked it. Its a show kinda like beauty and the geek. Its the show where you laugh alot at how pathetic the people are…Its was grade A comedy in my humple opinion. And am the onlyone who like last years? This years VMA SUKED , but did any1 else like last years one?

You don’t really need or want that lifestyle, it might hurt y’all slowly more…….Just tell him you
don’t wanna repeat something your not too proud of z7uas.
