Hey, fam. I've just gotten thru the VMA's, and as promised, I'm gonna tell y'all how it went down... and down... and down.
You know what? If you want me to break this down for you, plain and simple: this show was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overhyped. And damnit, they got to me too, especially when I blogged live from MTV when they announced the nominees on TRL. It has been no secret that MTV, in terms of their awards ceremonies, has fallen off, and I guess this year, by creating new award categories that make no sense whatsoever, they're trying to recapture the essence they lost back in, say, 2003. I say, if they wanna get it back to how it used to be, for next year's show, bring back Chris Rock to host, and stop putting these bullsh*t celebs on the show (like the Laguna Beach/Hills whores and those losers who were announced the Best New Artist category). And how about actually PERFORMING ON THE ACTUAL STAGE? I know this is Vegas, and they wanted to have that "party like a rockstar" mode goin' down, but it was annoying watching the camera go from suite-to-suite. I mean, sh*t, let whoever's gonna perform do it on THE ACTUAL PROGRAM, and save the other sh*t for an aftershow or something.
But let me stop going off, and get into this recap. I'm going to put the show's highlights under three categories, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. But to start things off, there's one performance, which, the very first time I saw it, I hated it. But then, f*ck, I had to go and watch it two more times-- and it grew on me. My personal opinon: it's aight, but she's done better (2003 smooch with Madonna ring a bell?) So I'll let y'all decide whether it was good or not.
And....
IT'S BRITNEY, B*TCH!
WAS THAT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE'S D*CK SHE GRABBED?
THE GOOD:
-- Rosario Dawson, as usual, always looking lovely. She will ALWAYS have a permanent spot on my WILF list.
-- Chris Brown's performance (ignoring the fact that Rihanna hijacked it to stab us in the side her with "Umbrella" once again). No wonder he chose to do his little Michael Jackson/"Billie Jean" tribute, because the entire time I was watching that, I was thinking, little boy, do you know I would f*ck you? THEY NEED TO STOP MAKING THIS BOY LOOK SO DAMN FINE.
Gotta give it to him... the dancing was on point. JTim was right, he IS putting you to shame.
-- Shia LeBeouf from Transformers (he presented "Best Female Artist of the Year" to Fergie [YAY!! The Dutchess is a hot album]). He could sooooo get it. There's a rumor going around that he's been seen running around with Rihanna (YEP), but let's hope that's not true.
-- Even though I said I did not prefer the hotel suite perfromances, I DID enjoy watching Kanye and T-Pain perfrom "The Good Life" (only because it allowed me to hear yet ANOTHER song from the CD I'm gonna buy on Tuesday) and Cee-Lo's rendition of Prince's "Darling Nikki"-- at least, the lil' snippet I caught before the cameras went to something else.
-- Alicia Keys' performance. This almost went into "the bad" category, because, 1, I am not a HUGE fan of the new single "No One" (she sounds off-key), and 2, NOTHING can top the performance she did with Lenny Kravitz and Stevie Wonder some years back. BUT, she redeemed herself while performing "Freedom". Plus, she was the only on-stage performer that I was 100% sure was singing LIVE. She gets big-ups for that alone.
THE BAD:
-- Sarah Silverman. WHY is she still allowed to come to any MTV awards show? Her type of humor really doesn't go over too well at these type of events (although, I must admit, that Cee-Lo/Kanye/Jewish people joke was kinda funny).
-- The fact that you hardly even knew Beyonce was even there. This was NOT her time to shine.
-- Why was Nicole Scherzinger there? Seriously, who cares about her? She's not even the hottest PCD anymore.
-- Kanye's glasses. STOP WEARING WHITE GLASSES-- it's not chic!
-- Gym Class Hereos won Best New Artist. I like them, but damn, I was hoping that Amy Baby would take that one. Don't tell me y'all don't like her now just because she got a lil' crack addiction, now! Let HER deal with HER demons. Amy Winehouse is still dope as hell.
-- Dr. Dre came out of the batcave join the festivities! However, he gets a BOOOOO because he taunted us by saying, "Detox album coming soon!" How LONG is it taking you to detox? Don't play with our emotions, n*gga-- just hurry up and DROP THAT SH*T!
-- Timbaland and Co.'s show closer. Y'all know I LOVE ME SOME TIMBO. But I have to keep it 100, this was really lackluster. First of all, why was he dressed like Usher and Ne-Yo pieced together his outfit? Secondly, his entire arsenal of collaborators were there with him, but no one really delivered. Justin came close while performing "LoveStoned", but almost doesn't count.
THE UGLY:
-- The entire "Quadruple Threat" category. I mean, really, now, WHAT THE HELL? What does THIS have to do with making a hot video? What, was this just to make Beyonce feel better because the only award she won was for that sh*tty "Beautiful Liar" song, which we ALL know should've went to Gwen Stefani and Akon? Oh, right, wait... Bee didn't take the "Quadruple Threat" award home, either.
-- Kanye and 50 presenting together. No wait-- Kanye and 50 presenting together AND posing similarily to their Rolling Stone cover. Come on, give it up, we all know this is a big f*ckin' scam. First of all, the entire time Kanye appears like he's trying to hold in a laugh. You know, I almost bought into this bull and bought the magazine-- but I said, "f*ck that sh!t, I don't need a magazine to tell me which album I'm gonna get.
-- Rihanna took home "Monster Single of the Year" AND "Video of The Year." DAAAYUM, Bee and 'Ye! I know they were PI$$ED. First things first: that "Monster Single" award was really a no-brainer, but "Video of the Year? Come on, that video (which is what we're supposed to be judging here) sucked monkey balls, we all know that. Aww well.
-- Did Nelly Furtado dye her hair blonde? ICK!
Aight y'all. I'm out. Let me know what you thought of this year's VMA's, especially of the two performances I posted.
WHO LOVES YA, BABY?
-- BREEZY

I did not like the way the show was setup. That cutting into the middle of performances was a bad setup. But let me say this Chris Brown killeeeeed it. As far a dancing and performing this dude be that beast.
Well Breezy at least you were able to (1) view Brit Brit's performance more than once and (2)enjoy something about it, that try as I might I can't imagine.
Brit's career is over and MTV's needs to be too. Lucky for them everyone is focusing on Brit's flab/drab performance because the overall show was far more hideous than anything Brit did. It was a disjointed mess and everyone responsible for that eyesore needs to be job hunting this morning.
When did MTV stop playing videos? I just noticed it for the first time a week or so ago. I wanted to see TRL because the MTB4 guys were going to be on there and found that oddly it comes on during the day when everyone is at work or school and they don't run repeats. While I was searching I just noticed that videos are rarely shown. Why are people still making videos? For the internet?
man britney was a great beginning for such a lame ass show! the suite performances were better than the actual show if they woulda played them entirely! alicia keys was still off key and straining, chris brown is the ultimate swagger jacker, even tho he was cute i dont kno why niggas were all on him and shit... dr dre didnt look right with all that muscle, i liked the rock performances better than the "urban ones"... must i go on?damn, mtv fuckin up!
-Damn is Britney pregnant again?? LOL.
-Rihanna has some of the best legs in the game! I could see myself
skeetin' on them too lol.
-You know its too bad Amy Winehouse is all coked out because I would've
loved to see her perform tonight.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LMAO!!!!
Alica "Sexy" Keys, always looked good, and that ass is DAMN!!!!
Brittney Spears man that way the highlight of the VMA, it gave me a hella laugh. When you see it again look when the camera view 50cent, and Rihanna in the crowd, they are looking at her like WTF!?!?!?
i never use to like breezy's blog'n but she has grown on me..i still want to know what she looks like.
Damn sorry once again for the mistakes :)
FIYAH......... YOU STRAIGHT UP TRIPPIN WHEN YOU SAID THAT OMARION COLD PUT CHRIS BREZZY TO SLEEP ON THE DANCE MOVES!! CHRIS WILL MURDER HIM..................... MURDER HIM!
man this show was way better then years past, except for britney and the sarah silverman is not funney now or ever i think it awesome, the vegas setting was perfect it was like a club setting and everyone seemed to be having a good time, ill watch the grammys if i want something serious, it would have been banging if chris did the remix to umbella at least. Gym Class Heros is a awesome band they desevere to win new artist, look them up,i just wish kayne didnt have a sissy fit, u still cool man 50 wasnt nominated at all
the MTV Awards only lasted 5 mins. that's how long Chris Browns performance was. the rest was a waste of air time.
and oh yeah, MTV, PLAY MORE VIDEOS ! ! ! its Music TeleVison NOT Reality TeleVision ! ! !
did ne body catch 50 play Beyonce when she tried to give him a cheek to cheek b4 she accepted her award??
Them awards was gabbage. Everybody was lip synching, even some rappers. Britney spears ended her career effectively. Kanye is a fag. The only thing that would have redeemed the awards is if the "white on white" violence was caught on camera.
Breezy you better look good, cuz i hate u.
whats up with that 'id fuck CB' shit??? thats some Female R.Kelly kinda shit. Since a guy cant make them comments(which is fine), ONLY fine girls should be able to make 'R.Kelly' comments.
Now I just remembered why I dont come here nomore. Good thing u seem to have a couple fans tho.
i only got one thing to ask y was ne-yo not nominated for anything like damn
I've been layin back reading your shit for a minute...and its safe to say, that you really have the best blog on this site. AND you have good grammar! lol. I agree with everything you said about the VMAs...I didnt even watch the shit. Keep doin ya thing!
Those two 'losers' who did the Best new artist were responsible (Seth wrote Superbad and starred in both, Bill starred in both) for the best two comedies of the year (Super Bad and Knocked Up) so I'd say retract that statement.
did ne body catch 50 play Beyonce when she tried to give him a cheek to cheek b4 she accepted her award??
Posted by: Raush at September 10, 2007 11:36 AM
No he didn't. The girl gave her the mic right at the time she was going to give him a kiss on the cheek. that was all! 50 didn't do that!
can anybody tell me why the fuck lil mama decided to come dressed as a fuckin baby....i mean we know you a touchdown, but at least act like you aint!!!
amy winehouse maN AMY CRACkhOUSE BEEN ON DRUGS she's okay but she like everybody else in thew industry is on fucking drugs she did'nt make that track rehab for nothing yeah she's on crack and heroin.
britney's gay whoopee we been knew that pretty much everybody who worked for disney turned out to be a junkie or a freaking queer or lesbo.
dr. dre's new cd detox fuck dre love his past work was a bug fan of nwa, eazy, the doc, and the deathrow era but I'm sick of waiting on his new cd.
rihanna's hot don't like her musuic but she has a nicer body if jigga's fucking her more powere to him I would.
Lloyd, T-Pain, Ne-yo, DJ Khaled, T.I, Common, and R.Kelly should have been nominated for something and performed because they been running this year. And Nasty Nas just cuz.
I like how MTV fused Rock, R&B, and Hip Hop together. I think they did a great job. I loved the show!
MTV's definitely fallen off completely with the garbage they continue to broadcast. As for the MTV Music Awards, Britneys performance was horrible from the lip-synching to the choreagraphy. Sarah Silvermans was a bad choice to pick for hosting with her wack ass dry-humor. The only best thing about the show was Alicia Keyes and Chris Browns perfomance. Justin Timberlakes right about one thing, they need to play more damn videos.
