And more comments...
- So, T.I. came out for a performance and here's a tip: if you aren't lip synching, and have more than one person rapping, you can't understand a word that's being said because they are rarely in synch with each other.(See Public Enemy for tips on how to do it right...)
- Best Group Video - The Red Hot Chili Peppers should have won. The All American Rejects won. I guess as videos go, it was creative.
- The Raconteurs continue to shine amongst the drabness that is the awards.
- Ringtone of the Year - Are you serious? How do you decide who's nominated? Fort Minor won. I had no idea Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park was involved, but I still don't like the song...
- Panic! At the Disco performs in resemblence to their video. The singer's voice sounds really shaky.
- Jack Black continues his weak schtick. I really expected more.
- Best New Artist. Avenged Sevenfold wins and I nearly fell out of my chair.
- Kevin Federline's name is announced and the crowd is silent. No laughter for his skit with his wife either. People love to make fun of the couple, not be entertained by them.
- Best R&B Song - Beyonce wins for another repetitive song. Check up on it, work up on it, check on me, work on it. ...whatever.
- Hype Williams gets the Video Vanguard Award. Hype has directed some amazing videos. Busta Rhymes comes out and performs, as does Missy Elliott - who gets stuck in her tiny car.
- Sarah Silverman comes out and rips apart Paris Hilton. Hilarious!
- Red Hot Chili Peppers and Shakira were top nominees....has either won anything yet?
- Christina Aguilera performs and shows her vocal range. A great vocal performance, but more slow and boring appearances aren't helping this show.
- Lou Reed and Pink - this year's Odd Pairing Award goes to...
- Best Rock Video - I didn't know 30 Seconds to Mars even had a video. Green Day easily had the best video in this category with Red Hot Chili Peppers as a close second. But the winner is, AFI?!? Why do I even bother watching this show?
- The VMA's just aren't what they used to be...
- The Raconteurs are now playing with Billy Gibbons. Ah, now I remember why I'm watching...
- Tenacious D performed a song. Not their best, but entertaining.
- Viewer's Choice Award - Winner is no surprise - Fall Out Boy, who was leading in the category all night. I would have had more fun watching the cast of Jackass mess around all night.
- Al Gore - Is he going to tell us how he started the internet? Interesting environmental discussion, but I feel like I'm in school.
- The Raconteurs perform "Internet killed the Radio Star" - very nice.
- Video of the Year - And the winner is...Panic! At the Disco. Wow. I'm old. Some guy crashed the award, but I was too busy being shocked by who won.
- They're going to launch MTV Tres - Coming soon...Reality shows in Spanish.
- Axl Rose. Well, he looked better than last time.
- The Killers close the show. A new song that no one knows to close the show?!? How weak. Why not a mash-up like the old days? The end performance used to be the most anticpated and talked about part of the show. It's now become anti-climactic.
YAWN
