So I sat on my couch last night - Iphone in hand to watch the VMA's ready to tweet my heart out. I was originally going to go to the awards but unforeseen circumstances kept me at home on the couch.
Let me get the plusses out of the way before I say what I really thought of the show. First thing - the VMA's were in BROOKLYN!!!!! That was great in itself. The second plus was Justin's "concert". He gave me all of my life in his segment. While I agree that he didn't quite deserve an award named after Michael Jackson, he sure was going to get up there and earn his keep. N'Sync was on point, and that performance was just about on the level of Beyoncé's Superbowl performance - and it saved the VMA's - from Miley Cyrus.
I don't know who keeps telling Miley what she is doing is okay. I never thought her twerk-tivities were cute at all. My biggest question is why didn't mister camera-man cut to Paula Patton when Miley was grabbing Robin Thicke's man meat. All of these reports that Paula Patton was okay with that performance, I think is a big fat lie. All I could think is "This is gross" and "Paula is waiting for Miley back stage" (I actually tweeted that one).
Lil Kim looked like a Muppet baby, ASAP Rocky looked like a waiter, and by the time I got to Katy Perry, I was so mentally exhausted with how bad the VMA's were this year, that I couldn't even pay attention.
I don't understand what Lady Gaga was doing, and why she was a mermaid, but it's Lady Gaga. I had to repent to Jesus after Kanye's performance because I cringe every time I hear Yeezus.
Le Sigh -
Maybe they will do better next year.
