....Wow....
That's really all I can say about the show.
From on-stage circus acts to somewhat scary outfits, I think it's safe to say that this show will go down in VMA history as the biggest.....well...hot mess.
But I must admit. The "hot mess-ness" of the award show last night made for great entertainment on Twitter and Facebook.
{Shameless plug of the day: Follow me on Twitter! www.twitter.com/JMarie823 :) }
Here are some of my high (and low) lights of last night's show...
THE ULTIMATE HIGHLIGHT OF LAST NIGHT'S SHOW...
1.) One word.
Or should I say "color".
PINK.
Homegirl was AMAZING! How many artists have you seen get on stage and perform a trapeze act?
I'll wait..... ^_^
The idea was sheer genious, and to see it actually performed had me floored the entire time.
You go girl :)
2.)Janet Jackson. No. MISS Janet Jackson.
That was the best MJ tribute to date. She performed her heart out for her big brother, and I think I speak for everyone when I say we all felt it. It was so powerful, and you could see her emotion towards the end of the performance. Although I wish Chris would've performed too, this tribute was outstanding nonetheless. Glad to see her back on stage :)
3.) Russel Brand.
He's the kind of host/comedian you watch with one eye closed tightly, cringing the entire time.
And I love it.
His rawness. His uncut material. His awareness of American politics. All of this combined makes him a great host, and VERY fitting for MTV.
And it doesn't hurt that I find his accent and long, messy hair rather...sexy. ;)
4.)Waleeeeee.
Anyone who's read this blog before knows I am a devout Wale fan. I love everything about him from his music to his fashion. So to see him perform before and after every commerical break was a DEFINITE highlight for me. :)
I have another highlight, but that'll come later....
Now onto to the NOT so high-lights of the show.
FIRST AND FREAKIN' FOREMOST.
1.) Kanye, Kanye, Kanye.
There's no blaming it on the alcohol this time. Your behavior was beeeeyond unacceptable. Taylor Swift works very hard on her music and worked very hard on that video, and for you to come and ruin her moment because you thought Beyonce should've won was....tasteless. Immature. A disgrace. The list goes on.
Yes, you have a temper, and yes, we all know you throw tantrums occasionally. But that is no excuse. You're talented, accomplished, and your music speaks volumes. But before all of that, you're a grown ass man. And she is a teenager. You completely ruined what was supposed to be the happiest moment in her career. Her life.
Not only have you embarrased yourself, but you've embarrassed us as a people.
Thanks for the apology blog, but no thanks.
**sigh** I could go on about this clown.
(I'm not gonna post the video....Ridiculousness)
2.) Way to kill what little bit of a career you DID have, Lil' Mama!
Who died and made this chick Queen of NY? Who gave this chick the authority to come on stage with the great Jay-Z and Alicia Keys? This was an ultimate FAIL.
When I see this picture, I can't help but laugh. I think I laughed so hard at my TwitterFam last night that I cried. Thanks to Fabolous, who created the Trending Topic #lilmamais...people were going in on her ALL night. Hilarity.
#lilmamais Jay-Z's hypeman, she just got there late.
#lilmamais the one who gave Kanye that sh*t tonight.
#lilmamais picking out her bowtie for larry king.
#lilmamais at the bar w/ Kanye talkin' bout "You know we fucked up right?"
The list goes on.
What possessed her to do such a thing? Who knows. Maybe it was her uncontrollable love for NY. Maybe she felt like had some part in MTV since she's a host on ABDC. WHATEVER the case, her career is ruined, and she'll forever be known as #lilmamais....and not Lil Mama the rapper.
smh.ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE:
In the midst of the chaos, Beyonce managed to create THE biggest highlight of the night.
Reflecting on the time she and Destiny's Child won their first VMA award, Beyonce calls Taylor Swift back onstage to "have her moment". The crowd went wild.
And so did I.
Some blog sites are saying it was a publicity stunt, for the purpose of saving face, but I don't care.
It was admirable. It gave me chills and a new love for that girl. Gon' 'head, Bey.
Best and Worst Dressed for the night.
Beyonce. Love this look, love this color. Super plunging neckline. Showing off those great legs. **Two snaps for you**
This is a really nice look for Alicia. This dress was sooo cute! And the shoes worked. It's always nice to see Miss Keys in something a little more feminine.
This suit is a nice look for Taylor Lautner. Very handsome. GQ.
I love Fefe Dobson. I'm not even gonna lie...I forgot about her for a minute. But she showed up and showed out last night in this fly rocker chick outfit. **Peep the shoes**
Two words. Regal indeed. Love this dress on Nelly. She's such a beautiful gal, and the detail on this dress really brings out her gorgeous facial features.
Katy Perry never disappoints me.
Cassie, Cassie, Cassie. I think you're a gorgeous girl. But that MIGHT JUST BE where it stops. The shaved head isn't cutting it for me anymore. It just isn't. And it might be helpful for you to figure out what you want to do with the side of your head that DOES have hair. Because a ponytail just isn't working. The shoes don't compliment the dress, and the dress is, in my opinion, not really that hot.
J.Lo. Are your arms okay?
I love this dress, but Stephanie Pratt is giving me much "Aubrey O'Day" with this ensemble and I'm not sure if I like it too much.
Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. You're such a free-spirit. You do what you want. And you dont' care what people think. And I respect you for that. I'll leave it at that.
The VMAs are over, but I'm sure peole will be tweeting about it all month. And I don't mind. Nope. Not one bit. :)
