I know this was weeks ago, but I wanted to post my review anyway. The video awards this year, how should I say ... was boring. Except for Beavis and Butthead, they were entertaining, but the awards portion was boring. Ever since they moved it to Miami, it's been boring, boring, boring. The stars coming in the boats, and 3-D like stage, even with Diddy hosting it, the awards were boring. They were predictable, the performances were subpar (sorry, Jaime Foxx, but I saw you lip-synching most of your performance with Kanye). Nothing surprised me. All the hosts read from cue cards, everyone wore similar clothing. It was just boring.
I miss those days when the show was broadcast from California. Where the stage was just a stage and a curtain. It seemed like you could do so much with it for some reason. With the 3-D stage, it's like you can't hide anything and surprise the audience later on. Also, the stars came in outlandish outfits and tricked out vehicles back in the day. There's only so much you can do with a boat. I miss the good'ole days.

Hey--I'm right there with you. That was the worst VMA of all time. Why? Because Sean Coombs was a powerfully lame choice of host. It's not like he's known for his humor or oratory skills...At first I thought I was just getting too old tto care about the VMAs. But, no. They just sucked.
i think my all time favorite MTV VMA was '96. the smashing pumpkins opened it with "tonight, tonight."
also, oasis was performing live too. so that may explain why i liked it.
i've yet to see this year's VMAs. but if B & B were on, i'll deffo check it out. haha.
