@g — this is what I commented on Lil’ Mama yesterday: “@jadedsweetie — I’m sure I have no idea. I believe she was asked about it afterward and she said something like, Jay-Z’s song about NYC moved her emotionally to get on stage. I, personally, think that MTV should put seatbelts on VMA seats for all attendees.”

was anyone else confused with little mama jumped on stage with JayZ and Alicia, or was that just me?

@Michelle and others…
What do you think MTV do?? They know who is going to win BEFORE the show. Not through votes, but by viewership & popularity. I don’t think Kanye will ever win a VMA if he hasn’t already – i dont think they will want him back even if it means more viewers.
—
But its Britney. Britney was going to win an award even if it was Gimme More. Of corse it was pre-taped and probably before a show. But then again her hair isn’t always that done-up before a show, so it may have been done after a concert or something, but dressed up like that for the speech to be all like “On tour ya’ll”
—
Brit is probably the one guest they always want. Well she is. But she is probs the guest that doesnt RSVP. Not until the last minute. Hence why the promo suggests, well she probs will attend considering she is nominated 7 times and is filming a promo. But she doesn’t show!!! Hmmm… it was prob Brit being Brit and all like, nahh im not in the mood. The girl is a diva ya’ll.
—
But – my opinion is, as much as i love the VMAs. Some of the awards are given out purely on who’s performing and attending. They dont want all the winners phoning in via satellite. I mean after-all, all they are about is the viewers & getting there money from sponsors etc…
I don’t know, but do the celebs or some get paid to attend. I mean would Brit really attend without getting $$$ from it. Brit these days isn’t the Brit from 2000 where she was on every show promoting herself. She doesn’t need to and she’s also a Mum now. I know that doesn’t give the excuse to just make the album, do a few appearances, OKAY SHE DOES HAVE A WORLD TOUR but ya know. I just imagine MTV pays some celebs to attend and that can wager the outcome of some awards.
—
Either way, congrats on the award Brit!!! Heres hoping the Grammy’s acknowledge you. I still think Unusual You needs to be released or should have before the closing date of Grammys in order to be nominated. It is a Grammy worthy song.

I find MTV very predictable. I don’t personally believe that Green Day is overly relevant to the kids anymore and that Kings of Leon easily would have won (isn’t the VMAs based on voting?). Why do I tihnk this? Green Day was able to be booked and willing for the promotion, KOL weren’t (they were in Canada). I think MTV does this often…

Pink’s performance was the best of the night. Her voice is amazing and that she could sing live while doing the trapeze/high wire tricks was incredible. Highlight of the night for me. I could’ve done without Green Day. #kanyeisadouche

Oh and as for Britney, wouldn’t they have had to send her the trophy ahead of the award show? So I’m thinking that even though they made it seem like she was going”live” from wherever she was, I thought maybe that part was pre-taped the day before or something.

I got on facebook almost within 5 minutes of Kanye’s stunt last night and it was already blowing up with posts… there really is something to be said about being able to watch a live show and chat about it with hundreds of others while watching… it actually made the experience a whole lot cooler… BUT ANYWAY… I really liked this year’s show. The performances were all amazing and the opening and finale performances just brought the whole thing home. I felt like it was MTV’s way of honoring one of their biggest stars and they definitely pulled it out.

Also I think Kanye is a douchebag… seriously I was hoping someone would have either bitch smacked him or whacked him over the head with their statue… because that would have been hysterical.
And Beyonce is the shit, seriously that was the most selfless, graceful thing I think I have ever seen her do on camera
Taylor Swift deserved her award and was humble enough not only to NOT bitch smack Kanye like she should have, but to come back out and then thank B for giving her the second chance to speak.
And J-Hova better be back for awhile because that performance was hot!

Yeah Pink’s was amazing right. She does all that in concert more than once too. With the sheet materail aswell like in her performance last year. She performs Sweet Dreams Are Made of This. Trent you should see her in concert!!!!
—
Australia loves her. WE can’t get enough. She grossed in Australia alone something like $60 million for her tour. Broke so many records. Can you believe she set the record with the “I’m Not Dead Tour” and then re-broke it DURING a recession with her Funhouse Tour. ALL LIVE.
—
I know a lot say Beyonce is the hardest working person in the business. I believe Pink is. She promotes her work so hard. Everyone only sees Beyonce working in the US. But Pink promotes it world wide and puts so much effort into her shows. I dont wanna get into the whole, whos better & more talented. But i’m just saying i hate how everyone says Beyonce is the HARDEST working person.
—
Good ol’ Britney by the way. But who can be bothered flying after a show to NYC, attending a long awards show with press & media. Maybe attending an after party, flying back to some other state and do a performance the next day. WHILST celebrating your sons brithdays. Trent, you do realize it was Jaydens b’day the other day and Seans was today/yesterday for Aussies. She wanted to be with her babies. But congrats to her and she looked nice.

Karma is a bitch. I really enjoy reading about all the backlash. I don’t wish ill on people, but Kanye deserves to lose a few fans. Even the usually sweet Kelly Clarkson tore him a new one on her blog.

loved pink!!! best of the night, my opinion. beyonce also got some brownie points from me. i’m not a huge fan of hers but after her performance last night and giving the mic to taylor, she def. gained points… i also thought Jay-Z and Alicia Keys perfomance was amazing. i love how Jay-Z acknowledged Beyonce and pointed at her in the beg of the song. I would love to see those 2 perform together. i have to say that these were one of the best VMA’s i’ve seen in a long time. i never watch the whole show and last night, i watched it from beg to end. i usually dont like russell brand but i think he did a good job. he was entertaining and not very disrespectful….

also, just to be a nit picky bastard, for the record Kanye drank a bottle of HENNESSY all night…which may be a good excuse for his douchebag behavior, even though he’s usually a douche. Taylor should be sending him a bouquet of flowers this morning because this puts her further on the map and made her more so buzzworthy and all anyone can talk about tonight as well as today, had it not happened people would have thought, oh how cute, good for her and thats it…I actually am a fan of hers but she’s nothing special at all, and then she went on to sing in a mediocre way, one of which she always has and always will…although the concept was super original and cool, her vocals are always freaking lacking…so she should thank her lucky stars it happened to her and she gets the sympathy for his actions as opposed to man, taylor really sucks live…and I know it would be really hard to sing live and well under those crushing circumstances but her vocals were on pare with how they usually sound, traumatic event aside

on another note, although fans have their say, they should not have a say as to what is REALLY considered the best videos for each category other than a peoples choice award. Artists should not be given those types of awards because they have annoying 12 year old fans that constantly vote for their favorite artist, when other more deserving artists should win. If anything fans should only be able to vote in order to figure out what videos should be nominated. Single Ladies took a very simple concept and created a dance revolution unseen since the macarena and for that it should have gotten best female video, as well as video of the year which it won. It seems stupid that a video can Win for Video of the year and not win for female video of the year…it makes no sense, isnt it technically considered the best video?????and she is a female so it should go to her…Both Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson should not have had those nominations, especially because Britney Spears was shut out of that Category altogether when we all know that Circus and Womanizer were killer compared to Taylor and Kelly. Although this entire situation isn’t all that serious, it makes you wonder…Do the majority of people that watch music videos or MTV even know what Taylor Swifts music video is like? As a huge music fan and even a fan of some of Taylors stuff, I have personally NEVER watched the video for which she won that award for and I know that I’m not alone in this, so why is she so deserving of her award. Kanye was absolutley right about his rant, given it was not his place to showcase his opinion on stage, well other than maybe him coming up to the stage to accept his own award but still, come on, it’s common sense that Beyonce deserved that award and if nothing even Britney who wasnt even nominated should have won that award. As for Gaga, it was her very first VMA’s and she owned it, people have been saying her outfits are too outlandish and whatnot, but isn’t that was pop music is all about, it’s about dressup. When we see ridiculous outfits on designer runways we ask, why do they make that? who on earth would ever wear that? And now, when we see those outfits our first thought is, thats so Gaga…she wears Art and therefore she IS art. She knows exactly what shes doing and although I love me some Beyonce her performance was nothing compared to Gagas…Gagas had everything that one could imagine doing, whether you like her or not she had you captivated, I can guarantee that noone changed the channel when she was on the screen and thats what a true artist is, so props to Gaga for holding her own on her very first VMAs.

Wow. I’m totally stunned by Pink’s performance. I don’t really listen to her music, and I don’t have MTV or anything, so I don’t see videos unless I look for them online….. But DAYUM… that was a beautiful song and her ability to perform the way she did AND SING AT THE SAME TIME – just blows me away. That was awesome. It’s hard enough to sing and dance at the same time, but doing what she was doing – wow.
I didn’t like her costume, but her performance totally made that not matter!!!!

I’m also glad you caught the fact that once again Britney disappoints her die hard fans and decided to not show up for a show that could have been a staple in her already huge comeback. I do not understand her team and those that have a say in what she does…Just because she shows up at the show doesnt mean she cant celebrate her kids birthdays. The VMAs are basically her time to shine and she blows it for the second time. if anything it needed to be the perfect opportunity to showcase her talent and why she “deserved” (even the she didn’t) the awards she won last year. She brought her “A “game with the Womanizer and Circus videos and her noms were proof of that so it was her time to showcase it through performance. I’m baffled by her too much and thats just such a let down
