I'm stunned.

This is.. uh... we don't play this tune... gonna be f*cked up!
 
I'M not stunned, I totally expected it. This IS MTV, the shit music network after all. I'm surprised U2 were even nominated, or Incubus. Did you see the look on Bono's face? He was laughing and pointing! Did you notice the reactions by Bono and Edge when those guys with the weird hair and bloody bulletholes in their heads were on stage? I think U2 are just as disgusted by this crap as we are.

Nooo!!! I started beating the crap out of my pillow when they won. Damn it! Why? WHY?!
 
I dont think I have ever been so disgusted watching anything on TV EVER! I sat there and said ANYONE nominated but N Stink! God, what has happened to the music industry??!! It is VERY sad! A bunch of teeny boppers put together by a fat millionaire who do not write music, do not play instruments and actually sing maybe 1/3 of their songs live in concert, how on earth do they beat out people with real talent. I'am not just talking U2 here. I cannot wait for N Stink and Back End Boys to go down the tubes. They wont be anywhere 20 years from now except working at a 7-11
 
Which award?

Disgusted. Livid. Catatonic. Fuck.

I find it amusing (and I think U2 did also judging by their reaction) that they got beat by a video that was a complete rip-off of the PopMart concept, which incidentally, was criticized by the US media to no end but now it's great because N'Sync is doing it and they get great ratings for MTV
 
Well... we can always pretend that they're giving nsync those awards now because they're not going to give them any later tonight. Right? (Ahem, cough, cough.)

I know I did- you have to consider the source here. U2 is the best but that's not what this is about. They are putting on a show their airheaded fans want to see. Like I said I'm surprised U2 were even nominated.
I'm only watching to see U2, if I survive that long! Where's the smilie for 'puking?'

I was talking to my mother on the phone when NSuck beat U2. I didn't realize I was so mad until my mother asked, "Who are you yelling at and calling bitches?"

I knew it would be all downhill from there.

No offense Bonochick, my point is they are popular now but 20 years from now they wont be making music or alot of money. I was just using the analogy of going from making millions to working a convenience store is a pretty big drop.
 
Actually, I was just as disgusted in 1998 when the Spice Girls were winning all the awards over U2. I didn't watch another awards show until now.

I think we need some perspective here. MTV is viewed, for the most part, by the teen-aged crowd. Naturally, the network will want the NSYNC's of the world to go home with the goods. That U2 was nominated for these crap awards actually made me cringe a little. I liked it better when U2 kept their distance from these "pop" acts. The Grammy's are all you need to worry about, and I think we went 3 for 3 that night. Jackass is the only redeeming quality MTV has.

Bluey SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!

Anyway, I saw it coming. I mean, as many people have brought up here, it's M-feckin-TV, crap-central. I mean for crying out loud, MTV is about thiiiis far from giving out an award titled "Best Hooter Shots in a Video". I really hope the boys don't feel bad about this and I hope they realize that MTV is just full of shit.

Actually we should be happy. Did we actually wanted U2 to win? Sure, a couple of years ago it was sort of prestige winning an MTV-award. But nowadays when you know that there are mostly 10-year old popkids who are voting, didn?t you see this coming?
I know, maybe I?m just bitter but, I?m not surprised at all.
But I must admit, it IS pathetic "losing" the award to a fakegroup... but hey, it?s MTV!!!
 
But the fans only vote on the viewer's choice award. the other ones are voted on by who knows who? After last night, I think its a bunch of old white guys who gave NSync awards to please the girls so they still watch and that Marmalade whore crap because they're horny old men and aren't getting any action at home.
