2008 MTV VMAs

[corianderstem]

I really like them this year!!!
Lil wayne holy crap he makes me hott lol

Oh, hon. I wasn't feeling my age since my birthday, but you just made me officially feel fucking OLD.

I'm going to watch the opening just to see whatever Brit Brit is supposed to be doing, and then go do something else.

Bruce got a shout-out tonight. And while I don't love pop music, I grew up with Britney on my TV so I couldn't help but be happy to see her. She looked smokin' tonight... I'm glad she didn't perform, she's easing her way into things.

Britney won Video Of The Year, Pop Video of The Year and Female Video of The Year, all for "Piece Of Me". Well deserved, cause no other video was talked about as much this year. Hopefully next year she pulls out a classic Britney performance and rocks the VMAs like she did from 1999-2004. I have a feeling she will. I also have a feeling "Blackout" will make a clean sweep at the Grammys this year in the Pop/Dance categories.

The performances all bored this year. WTF - why was Christina lip syncing!? She barely danced, and her new single is shit.

Now, I gotta go watch Entourage.

^ i'm sorry sir her new single is good.

I don't know, i still love rock and stuff but ever since like i've got older i've listened to rap and pop a lot more because it's what everyone listens to at my age, we get down to it. like y'all got down to Madonna and Micheal Jackson. Dont feel old, feel like hey ya i got to see these amazing people in there prime. that's how im gonna feel in 20 years.

I really enjoy a lot of pop music - it's the hip hop/R&B stuff that's so popular that I don't care for. Occasionally there's an artist or song that I kind of dig, but in general, I don't like Lil Wayne, Ne-Yo, Flo-Rida, Weezy Jeezy, T Bone Pain, or any of those whos-a-flooze-its.

 

[love_u2_adam]

Lil wanye is just soooo hot tho!!!
Lol T Bone Pain?! lol
I gave up on caring about new music, i just hate the Jonahs brothers and Miley whatever

 

[Zoots]

^ I just googled Lil Wayne to see how he looks like. I don't see the appeal.

If I have to guess....it's because of the internet. The kids with good taste in music...they can d/l what they want whenever they want....they can watch whatever video they want - past, present, future - on youtube whenever they want. I'm guessing that changes the business model for businesses like MTV and VH1.

Hmm great point! I suppose it's true. Is Kurt Loder still working for MTV???

Creepy guy with the teeth right?

He'll never leave

 

[corianderstem]

Wow, that little opening sketch was 500 kinds of lame.

(Although I did chuckle at the line about lunching with Jeremy Irons and the Jonas Brothers, because ha ha ha - random!)

 

[love_u2_adam]

^i thought that too.... like wtf where did that Seth guy come from.. he isnt a musician!?!?

^ I just googled Lil Wayne to see how he looks like. I don't see the appeal.

Dude Dude he makes millions and millions i see the appeal


Omg and my little brother watches this dumb drake and josh show and the drake kid got sexy.

 

[corianderstem]

That was Jonah Hill in the sketch .... but to guess Seth Rogen really isn't that far off.

 

[love_u2_adam]

ohhhh... they look a like just i get names mixed up... the seth dude was in pineapple and both were in superbad... stupid crap

 

[namkcuR]

Jonas Brothers are boring. They are just what Hanson was a decade ago, except that Hanson was much better.

More old VMA clips:

YouTube - Guns N' Roses - MTV VMA November Rain with Sir Elton John

Am I the only one who thinks Elton John looks kind of pathetic here with GnR?

YouTube - Slash feat. Michael Jackson - Black or White (MTV 1991)

Michael Jackson live performances pointless. He lip sinks the whole thing.

YouTube - Alanis Morissette - Your House (A Capella @ VMA 1996)

 

[corianderstem]

Demi Moore must be the oldest person on this show by a good 30 years.

I turned on VH-1, and all they're showing is a screen that says "why aren't you watching the VMAs? We are." and then showing little peeks of what's going on live.

It's kind of weirding me out. I know they're owned by the same company and all, but sheesh. Three channels showing the same thing? Is this necessary? Why do they feel the need to air it on all three networks just in case? Is there some weird cable company in the country that shows MTV2 but not the other two?

The best thing on "music" television lately was 80 hours of the 80's on VH1 Classic last weekend.

Brit looked good.

I think I'm just really old.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Britney is the new Britney.

That is exactly how I felt watching the VMA's last night. I had no idea who half of the artists were.

 

[cell]

I need to remember the better days


YouTube - U2 - Please (Live @ Mtv Video Music Awards, 1997)

Thanks for posting this...

 

[RedRocksU2]

Lil wanye is just soooo hot tho!!!
Lol T Bone Pain?! lol

Please tell me you are kidding!

omg. I hope my little girl has better taste.

The show last night;
Unbearable to watch.
The host....horrible.
The direction of the whole show ...ridiculous.
what the hell happened to my favorite award show????????????

 

[RedRocksU2]

btw, sorry for screaming. carry on.

I agree with Carlos. I flipped the channel because I was so disappointed with the whole show. From A to Z it was terribly disappointing. It looked like it was being filmed in a big warehouse by ameteurs. That host was really awful. Lil Wayne needs to wear his pants the proper way (I just HATE that look with the pants hanging off their asses). Even Kanye was dull and emotionless. It was tasteless and boring.

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I didn't watch the VMA's this year for two reasons

1. It didn't interested me
2. I knew they weren't going to mention U2 in any way shape or form (and honestly that's one of the few (if not the only) reason(s) why I watch a music related awards show)

 

[Carek1230]

Richard Brand was on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonite and they were hilarious.

 

[Bonochick]

The only notable thing was that Britney finally won a VMA. I guess she never had before.

Really? Wow, I find that really surprising.

Same here. I would have figured she had tons.

 

[U2isthebest]

Same here. I would have figured she had tons.

They said before the show, that she's been nominated 16 times but had never won. I was surprised too.

Russell Brand.

 

[pgv]

I just watched the repeat of the VMA's, I thought Russell brand was brilliant (even if the audience didn't know what'd hit them) but the whole show had SUCH a staged, awkward feel to it. Katy Perry covering Madonna?!

 

[love_u2_adam]

Please tell me you are kidding!

omg. I hope my little girl has better taste.

lmao well i have a huge thing for black guys and darker skinned lol
I like probably would never date someone like that because he's kinda a drug addicted and i'd want to change him...

 

[Bonochick]

It's okay, Kayla, I have an inexplicable crush on him as well.

How did this happen????
