So rather than give a bland review of the VMA’s I think my personal highlights and commentary are a little more interesting. Here are my top five entertaining moments with my spin on things:
1.) MJ Tribute – Madonna’s speech was longer than the actual performance. Good speech though. Did anyone else expect Janet to do more? I know I did. The tribute was HOT all around, I especially love the dance segment with Janet imposed next to Michael in Scream. Classic!
2.) Kanye bum-rushes Taylor Swift – WHY, where was security? We all know –and love Kanye’s antics– but he went a little overboard last night. This episode was entertaining to say the least, but Taylor Swift did not know how to react to his outbreak
3.) Lil Mama jumping on stage with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys – WTF! Again, where was security. Maybe now they’ll take her ass off of ABDC and put a real judge, with opinions that make sense.
4.) Pink’s Acrobatics – I really like her performance, although it brought back circus memories, but that was hard to do and I respect her for it.
5.) Lady Gaga – I just don’t know about this girl. I like her music — I even liked her performance — but her “style” is questionable. I think she creates a “I’m different” persona for the paparazzi, we get it you’re different! I think she’s trying to do what Madonna did in the early 90’s, but Madonna seemed more effortless, Gaga is just over the top.
The Twitter commentary from my tweeps during the show had me laughing, and made the show even better, here are some of my favorite tweets:
@MBtheREMIX If Kanye runs up on Serena, she’s gonna shove a tennis ball down his throat.
@HoneyMagazine where is Kim Zolciak for best new artist?!!!
@Busymom Lady Gaga better be careful. That getup might poke her face.
@cthagod The audicity of Lil Mama getting on stage with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys
