The VMAs have been getting worse as the years go by. This year was better than last year, but not by much. They should stick to all(well, most of) the performances being inside. I think they're trying to be all different and hip, but it never works out right. I like the more traditional style award shows, MTV should stick to what they used to do(the radio city music hall & all that).
I'm so glad Tokio Hotel won the best new artist! It was so unexpected, I thought for sure they were going to be beat out!! |

^^^ Tokio Hotel
 It was a little boring. Brand was a bit talky,and bit British. I liked Kanye west's performance. I loved Rihanna's sampling of the numa numa song.I thought Lil' Wayne's acceptance speech was gonna be all incoherent and hilarious...:sigh:.Congrats to Britney,she was boring though. |

Britney looks normal again!
Russel Brand's much funnier when he has a script in front of him that's written by somebody else. =/ |

Rihanna's performance was weak as well as Kanye's.

I only watched the clips on mtv.com cuase I dont have MTV but Jonah Hill (sp?) and Britney Spears were my favorite! I thought the host was very annoying and should be shipped back to the United Kingdom....

I dunno if it was my tv but did the audio seem a little off on some of the times? Like for the Jonas Brothers performance, them singing was pretty low. Rihanna's performance was so terrible. I think Christina Augiler's performance was the best, I liked how she brought back Geenie in A Bottle, it was cool to hear again, in a different way. |

Okay, I'm watching The Most Talked-About Moments on the MTV website now... and yeah, Rhianna's performance kinda sucked. I liked how they used Seven Nation Army, though.
And wow, Russell Brand was just weird and over the top. And I wish he'd just brush his hair. =( Edit: Oh, and Christina Aguilera's performance was amazing. There is a reason why she's one of my favourite artists of all time. |

MTV has gone downhill and gets worst every year.
I stopped watching anything MTV related when those retarded reality shows started to invade and the music video shows started to lessen. as for the awards i didn't see it but just went though some highlights on the mtv website Russell Brand while all out bad ass looked out of place in the awards and the script was weird too. The only thing worth mentioning was Brit's come back and Xtina's Performance (i just adore that Genie in a bottle intro). i would buy the single if she turns remakes the song like that. Edit: Just watched Rihanna - Disturbia/Seven Nation Army never heard the song before but the performance was pretty good. |

I cannot believe fanny pak won...kaba modern should have won! the fanny pak's guys are gay, they should at least try dancing like guys for once. fanny pak cannot dance as if they were in a battle, they use too many props. kaba modern should have damn presented that award! and to the crowd of the preshow...wow i didnt even hear a lot of screaming. I love the part when lupe fiasco said "i love kaba modern." i was hell ya!!! KABA MODERN FTW!!!
Worst host of the year...russel brand was too perverted. and about the promise rings...wow. so inappropriate, parents of the jonas brothers were probally pissed at him. basically...WEAK VMAS! |

Fanny Pak is awesome; stop being a hater. And try to be more tolerant while you're at it. 2. There've been other VMA hosts who've been just as controversial, namely Chris Rock (who was amazing) and Shawn and Marlon Waynans (who weren't so awesome). Learn how to take a joke, too =\ |

I didn't really mind the jokes that Russell Brand had, since like Carrie said, there have been a lot more controversial ones before him. I was mainly ticked off at the fact that he wasn't funny. I mean, his jokes were alright but his timing was just off.

LOL @ Katy Perry. I was like...girl, PUT SOME PANTS ON! We know you kissed a girl and all and you're probably rebellious, but I think losing your pants on the red carpet is going a bit far.
The only reason I know Russell Brand is from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. And obviously he's affiliated with MTV so, the host choice wasn't that strange to me, he just wasn't that great. |

I don't think that's Mockney =\ I mean, not as blatantly obvious as Lily Allen's. Whenever I've heard him talk, he's sounded like that.

Hmm, I guess it would only be mockney if it was actually an act eh? Yeah I thought it wasn't as bad as Lily Allen but still a possibility.
I also thought Rihanna's performance of Disturbia sucked. Girl has kick-ass outfits and can put on a freaking good show, but she doesn't fare well live. EDIT// MTV makes movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Juno. Do you really think that properly educating the delicate minds of young people is their top priority? |
