VMA's....the return of Britney?

The much hyped Video Music Awards premiered last night and how many of you were as underwhelmed as I was?
For a show that has a history of scandalous moments, ground breaking performances and funny host show monologues, this years VMA's, left me feeling like a one night stand...empty and unsatisfied. This was suppose to the 25th anniversary...where was the celebrity beefs, the lesbian kissing,...the Kanye backstage hissy fits? Though after promising to never grace the MTV stage again after not leaving with a moon man at last years VMA's, he came back this year to close out the show.....guess you do need them huh Kanye? Who the hell do you think is buying your albums?
The show was hosted by a virtual unknown to American audiences...Russell Brand.For most Americans, this and the commercials, were the first glimpses they had of the British comedian and British MTV host.



Known for his outlandish behavior ( he was fired for coming to set dressed like Osama Bin Laden after 9/11) and publicized & self confessed background of Heroin, Cocaine and Sex Addiction, I guess MTV thought he would be great for the VMA, but his British Humor fell on deaf ears. The only joke that was consistent through out the whole show was his constant berating of the Jonas Brothers and there commitment to virginity by wearing a promise ring. This cause our own American Idol Jordin Sparks to say when she got on stage to present:


" just wanna say, it's not bad to wear a promise ring because not every guy and a girl wants to be a slut, OK?"

Everyone needs to just CHILL-AX!.....they're jokes!Though Brand was trying as hard as he could to be crazy and outrageous, our resident crazy celebrity Britney Spears, was doing all she could to keep the crazy under wraps! She looked great in a beaded short dress and was coherent in her speech. She looked like the old slutty Britney that we grew to love....(we are not big Britney Spears, fans, but it looks like she is doing well...finally)


I am sure that there are those who would like to see her drugged out and acting crazy in a Walgreens ( Adnan Ghalib)...because that's where the money is, but when you are a mother...its not cute.
Christina Aguilera performed at the show, started off with an interesting remix of "Genie in a Bottle", Having just had her baby, this was probably not the best outfit to wear, making her hips look huge...reminds me of those Mommy Jeans



One of the better performances was Paramore with Hayley Williams great vocals, and Pink, who took to the back lot, with pyrotechnics and a little slide down some white fabric from a second story building

I was surprised to see Danity Kane there .....and without Day 26 or Donnie, riding the coattails....I am still shocked to see Aubrey O'Day, still in the band....I give her till the end of the year and she is going to do a Beyonce.


And my favorite group from America's Next Dance Crew..."Fanny Pack" won the competition to present "Best Dance Video"!

After seeing them robed of the ANDC Title ( the wack ass Super Cr3w Won) it was good to see them on stage and getting thier due.
