An Uneventful VMA
>> Sunday, September 13, 2009
So, I'm not really a VMA patron. I never watched it as a teenager. In fact, last year was the first time I actually sat down and made an evening of watching the pre-show and awards (at which I was thoroughly disappointed because of Russell Brand's outrageous remarks).
But, of course, I am obsessed with celebrities and their luxurious, fantastical lives, so I must have all the 411.
Here are a few VMA thoughts from tonight's show:
*Russell Brand is (still) a loud, offensive skank. We know Obama is president, thanks. And we don't need his British help promoting the terrible healthcare plan. But, then again, its probably safe to say he has no idea what the plan entails - just riding the Obama bandwagon like all the other supporters.
*Lady Gaga? Music - rocks. Person - freak. Arrives in a decorated neck brace, continuously makes out with Kermit the Frog, splatters blood all over her white outfit and crazy face, changes into a catsuit that covers her face (freak) and then wraps a bird nest around her head. Crazy girl is trying way too hard.
*Kanye West is a douche. An inconsiderate, rude jerk. Taylor Swift deserved the Pop Video award, and Kanye can suck it.
*Beyonce is super classy for giving Taylor a chance to have her moment. Diva? No. Dynamic.
*Jack Black praying to satan? What was the purpose?
*The red carpet pre-show was a total disappointment. Isn't the point of the pre-show to see all the stars and what they're wearing? They featured less than a dozen celebs! So sad.
*Back to Beyonce. KILLER performance. She rocked the house. I HAVE to learn that dance.
*The Michael Jackson tribute was rather disappointing, as well. I was expecting a kick-butt memorial, but was actually rather bored. Boo to that. He was a freak, anyway.
*Kristin Cavallari: super skinny. What is her secret?!
*New Moon trailer: I don't get the hype.
*Yay for B Spears grabbing an award. Boo for her not performing (or showing up).
All in all, I was pretty upset that I sat for hours watching the VMAs. Apart from the Kanye/Taylor debacle, it was relatively uneventful. Someday, though, I'll be there. In the audience, but I'll be there.
