So I was on the MTV message boards poking around and it seems alot of fans are really pissed off about last night. Anyways, go to their site and look through some of the stuff. There are a few people who mention that U2 was robbed and their performance was the best of the night. So I take back all the whole MTV viewers are 14-year-old girls who have no taste in music. Some of them are pretty damn cool!

wow! i just went there, and people are REALLY TRASHING the awards! a lot of people are voicing support for U2 as well, saying that U2 and Alicia Keyes were the only really talented musicians there. you guys should go take a look... hopefully, MTV staffers are reading the messages, and will finally get the hint that the majority of people don't like synthetic music!!!

i think a good portion of mtv viewers have taste. but that's not the majority.

In several reviews by major newspapers U2 is singled out as a bright spot in an otherwise dismal show

I also read a bunch of reviews that stated that U2 was definitely one of the best performances of the night-
I am feeling a little better about the whole thing now.

Wow. If Mtv read half of that they'd give some serious thought about last night's garbage...

Glad to know there's still some sanity out there. Thank you!

I think that was MTV's point. Have U2 perform later in the show to force people to watch it.

Wow I like what this person said:


"Nsync? Best Group? I think not"

**** The first thing Nsync should of done when they accepted that award is to apologize to hard working bands such as U2 and Dave Matthews Band that actually put all their blood, sweat and tears into their music. I'm sooooo sick of these brats getting awards for doing nothing at all. They don't write their own music, don't make up their own dance moves, and (this is the worst of all) they don't even pick out their own freaking clothes for the love of god. I wonder if they have someone follow them to the bathroom to whipe their backsides for them. It just sad that hard working groups that have struggled to get where they are today are upstaged by a bunch of little kids that have older men and women do all the work for them while they take all the credit. It's pathetic! *****

Yep, exactly.
