Well, after some computer issues I have to thank the great MAILO for fixing my computer and making this blog possible. I guess it better be good, right? Well, I’m not making any promises.
P.S. My album review of Deer Tick’s The Black Dirt Sessions will be delayed to tomorrow afternoon.
—————————–
FINAL THOUGHTS: I’m really not the BIGGEST fan of watching award shows, but I’m glad I did this. Performances were good, personalities were gooder. Overall, a success I suppose. For MTV standards anyway. The big build-up between Kanye and Taylor is getting old; even though I though Aziz was ridiculous. Here’s to the next award show!
8:15 – Okay, I know you’ve alllll been waiting for it. Well, Michael and I (the biggest Kanye fans ever) dubbed the performance “aight.” Something was lacking, but I’m not sure what. Maybe because it wasn’t as epic? He’s claiming he’s changed, maybe toning it down a notch is part of that. Ha! Right. Anyway, I think the best performances were Usher, Florence + the Machine and Kanye’s cleavage. If his new album is anything like this song, it seems like it’ll be a good mix of 808‘s and everything before that.
8:08 – Oh man, he’s ridiculous! I love him … AND KANYE! … EVERYBODY SHUT UP!
8:08 – AZIZ! He’s going to announce Kanye!
8:06 – O M G … Hahahaha, “a-thank-ya” … Lady Gaga! Oh wow, she really IS wearing meat! Well, Flo is definitely gracious. “I never thought I’d be asking Cher to hold my meat-purse.” Okay, Gaga. You win. Self-promotion much? Okay, Gaga, I hate you again.
8:05 – Cher is such a diva and shameless at that! She’s still the shit! Video of the Year, bitches! Here it is … Come on, FLO!
8:05 – Hellz yeah, Cher! Work it, girl!
8:04 – EEEEEK! Sugar Ray shout-out! See? SEE!? They’re still relevant!!!
8:04 – OMG … Is it Kanye !? My heart just skipped a beat! Cognaaaaaccccc!
8:01 – I think every gay man and this straight girl is looking forward to “Burlesque,” starring Cher and Xtina Aguilera.
7:59 – The finale!!!! I’m gonna laugh if something breaks and he starts bitching out the techies while he’s still on stage … He did that at the show we were at, hahaha!
7:58 – MTV has officially ruined yet another aspect of life, aside from music and the dignity of attention whores … The Griffith Observatory.
7:55 – All these kids are ruining Griffith Park! Ugh! Anyway … Okay, so back to the original ORIGINAL thought … Why can’t the upcoming performers perform ON AIR so they can be exposed? Robyn’s awesome synthetic, pulsating beats would’ve made the world explode. I assure you … Are we officially over Linkin Park?
7:54 – Okay, back to my original thought … Emma Stone! I love her … I’m getting distracted way too easily. Okay, so she’s an idiot too. I love her lithp!
7:53 – Can we just address this “upcoming artists” performing during commercial break schpiel? They shouldn’t … oh my God wait … Can we talk about how big an idiot Justin Bieber is!? He just proved it on national television. The stage is UP FRONT!
7:52 – Michael just told me that “Grade A” commercial is totally me. Don’t hate on my (not so) hidden love for Natasha Bedingfield.
7:50 – Pee break!
7:48 – “SWIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BEATS” Oh God, did he just say “hash tag” … I hate Twitter. By the way, follow me on Twitter at SaraForETS 🙂
7:47 – OMG ROBYYYYYYYYYYNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! (She’s the girl who looked like an elf who was humping her mini-stage) I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT ALL NIGHT! Most anticipated moment for me (other than Kanye) I FRAKKING LOVE ROBYN! Her triple album is set to be one of the best of the year!
7:46 – Hayley Williams does NOT look the same (read: good) with her hair like that. Michael is a slut.
7:44 – Hayley Williams … I love her. The younger generation’s Gwen Stefani, I like to say. Did you know tonight is the first time B.o.B. and Hayley Williams met? They never met before this! Technology these days can really do things, right?
7:42 – This kid [Bruno Mars] needs to release his album … He’s going to explode.
7:37 – Now, I’ve heard of Deadmau5 and have wanted to hear his stuff all along but I’ve definitely been lagging … Have to say I’m really digging his stuff here at the VMA’s.
7:36 – Eminem … Wow, Sophia … Hahahaha! Chelsea cracks me up.
7:35 – I’m going for Kid Cudi for Best Hip-Hop Video … Let’s see ….
7:34 – Sophia whats-her-name … She’s so hot … But her accent is ridonk! “B.O. … ” hahahahaha!
7:28 – Florence and the Machine wins the award for Art Direction! Yaaaaaaaay! You go, Flo!
7:23 – Okay, so Drake is one of the best new artists of the year and I tried to avoid him but I can’t. Someone get me this kid’s album. Also, why would you put a music veteran in the performance of a new artist? Sure, she’ll draw attention … But Mary is straight up upstaging him.
7:18 – I may lose a friend with that last post … I love you, boobookins! We can cohabit this world on different sides of the music spectrum! P.S. I frakking LOVE Mark Hoppus, bee-tee-dub. I hope that show makes it!
7:09 – Maybe she’s trying to be the bigger man, here? Now I love Kanye, I don’t hate Swift. I think the whole thing is played out and yes, Kanye brought it up, but if it were anyone else, would you care so much? She’s taking advantage of the situation every bit as much as she claimed him to. … Anyway, who is she referring to here? This seems a little over-acted. Well, more power to her!
7:07 – This is embarrassing for her.
7:07 – Here’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for … Just want to say … TEAM KANYE!
7:05 – VMA Pop Video … Wardrobe change much? … I hate her. It’s one thing to make a bold statement. It’s another to not be able to carry it out.
7:04 – “Kaysha” … Hahahahaha! Jane Lynch is sooo old, but I love that dyke!
7:03 – Chelsea, what the hell? Hahahaha, Gleeeeee!
7:03 – Chuy <3
7 – Sway’s voiceover: Performances by … Taylor Sw-[Commercial] Michael: … I guess she got interrupted again!
6:57 – Amazing. That girl kills. She’s playing in L.A. in November and you better believe I’ll be there!
6:53 – Florence + the Machiiiiiiiiiiine! This girl is amazing! She should’ve been my Album of the Year of 2009! My appreciation caught up with me too late, though. She’s actually singing! The first artist of the night to do so, it seems like.
6:52 – Auto Tune makes everything fun … And Chelsea Handler funnier!
6:45 – Eminem … Understandable … I just wish the VIDEO awards went to music videos that were creative and awesome, not just popular songs. That’s MTV for you.
6:44 – Nikki to’ it up on Kanye’s “Monster.” Best Male Video …
6:43 – “Oh my gossssshhhhhhhhh!”
6:41 – This Ursher performance is really cool. Visually pleasing to the eye … I have to say, though, he can’t dance like he used to. Where’s Ne-Yo?
6:39 – Um … I really like this song. Work it Ursher!
6:38 – I hate Ke$ha. Is she drunk?
6:31 – OMG that little black girl to Bieber’s right is totally upstaging him! That girl is *z-snap* FIERCE!
6:29 – Biebs! According to Michael (of L.A. Adventures and Drinkcast fame) this performance is on so early so all the kiddies can get to sleep afterwards. He’s totally lip-synching, btw.
6:28 – Kim Kardashian … Give that girl an Oscar.
6:26 – VMA for Best Rock Video – UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH! I looooaaaaathe 30 Seconds to Mars. Douche-bags all around.
6:25 – Flo + the Machine … I hate that she’s on MTV now … But I hope she wins!
6:15pm – OMG! I made it! Okay, first post! Lady Gaga for Best Female Music Video? I can dig that … In the words of the great Ruben, though … “What is she trying to be, a peacock!?”
So some thoughts on the pre-show festivities … First of all, I can’t believe Sway is still around. He needs to get rid of the hat. It’s old, it’s gross and it kinda makes me afraid of what he has under there. Second-of-ly, Will.I.Am showing up in black-face is one thing, but Snookie!? Really!? Is she trying to make a stateme- … Oh, that’s just a tan.
Sara….stop hating on my taytay!
