Alright now everybody. Aren't we being a little hard on Miss Naughty Girl. My only problem with her apperence was here hair b/c it was too much over the top. As for her loverman, he difinitely was big pimp2 in for sure.

I had to leave the room for a few minutes..who was that group that performed towards the end of the show that were all wearing colored nighties? They looked like a cult. I liked the song though.

them polyphonic spree-cats....they creep me out, too.

Yeah that was freaky! He thought he was Jesus or something!
The show pretty much sucked! I liked Alicia Keys and I liked the Christina/Nelly song but thats about it. I think Outkast would have been alright if they didnt have all the signs in the way.

Her hair is TERRIBLE here - who curled dat shit?!! whofarted


Ditto. Tonight was definitely not a good hair moment for her. During her Stevie and Lenny Jam segment, she just said fuck it and threw some water in it to make an attempt at looking good. So, she thought. But her attempts failed badly.

I read on a few different message boards tonight that a lot of folks thought the Kerry girls WERE the Bush twins, so who knows who in the audience was actually booing who!

Those Kerry girls looked PISSED.


Makes sense - anyone who'd be in the pit @ an MTV show is a fucking moron hammer



Yep!

When I first heard the booing begin, I actually just figured that the audience was merely confused and thought the Kerry daughters were the Bush twins because when Carson was first introducing that little segment - and all the daughters - if I remember correctly he did say the Bush girls' name first, so I figured the short attention span, not-listening-very-closely MTV audience just glommed onto that and totally missed his ALSO mentioning/introducing the Kerry daughters.

However, I then figured the booing would die out after the audience realized who was actually up on stage but the booing continued anyway.

I haven't seen that part yet but I'm betting the water/natural curl look is 100 times better than this "press & curl for cousin Hazel's wedding" shit looks. Where in the shit was her hair person?? disbelief

This is a great thread.


MTV is really getting worse and worse. There are a lot of talented artist now and that's the only reason I watched this years. but this production was absolutely sad. And it was sad because of the artist themselves.


USHER???? i have tried to defend this dude;s actions to peeps who have hated on him for 5 years now but This time he took the cake for being an a**hole.

1. getting mad at the audience for yelling LUDA LUDA ( ludacris) during his speech.
This guy actually told the audience " this is my first time up here, so let me take my time."He had a visibally pissed off expression on his face just because they weren't yelling his name
2ALSo .Did anyone see the post show with him dominating the interview not letting Alicia keys or the interviewer talk ALicia had to actually SAY "CAN I TALK OR ADD SOMETHING " to shut this ego maniac up. . Alicia's statement to Kanye West explains it clearly. "This guy is out of control"

The Senseless self promoting is out of hand.


LL? I know you have an album coming out I don't need you to tell me in the middle of an introduction of an artist.

Mase? WEEEELCOME BAAAAACK!!!!! WTF If he had said those words one more time i was going to shot the t.v.

I absolutely hate Nelly's music so I won't comment on his performance because of my Bias,,,smile


I actually like Kanye WEST's music and productions but he should've left Chaka stay home. She has obvioulsy not been singing in awhile and sounded horrible.


Outkast,, Gave an unispiring final performance also. It really looked like Andre didn't even want to be up on stage. Also i'm getting tired of them performing separately .

The Positives
Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder gave a really energetic perfomance of Higher Ground . I was just waiting for red Hot Chilli Peppers to come out also. That would've been great.

But judging from the under 18 year old Pop music crowd they probably wouldn't have known who they were. Did you guys notice that mostly no one even turned around to looked when they turned the Spot light on Stevie? Something tells me they didn't even know who he was. He might as well have been apart of the studio band.


The second positive.

That Prince had nothing to do with it. I'm glad he's decided to stay clear of the VMA"S

Kanye West, i dont really understand the craze but whatever, and Chaka, oh my god, keeping searching for the KEY, its probably buried under your drugs.


This really hurt my heart the most. cry But I'm still sticking to the story that either she couldn't hear the music or the piano player switched keys on her at the last minute as a mean practical joke. In any event...cry

Alicia Keys + Stevie Wonder + Lenny Kravitz = A Perfect Mess.

Where the hell was Lauryn Hill? This was the only reason why I was really tuning in.

I thought Dave Chappelle was supposed to be the host of the ENTIRE show like other hosts...this would've kept my attention.

Was the audience booing the Bush daughters or the Kerry daughters? If it was the latter, that makes since...it was in the f%@ked up state of Florida.

Omarion sucks.

Who was that guy suspened in air who, along with his band, was dressed in rainbow monk robes?

Was the guy from Yellowcard actually crying on stage? I promise you it's not that serious.

I'm glad the Olsen twin took the advice of her stylist and wore white 'cause Lord knows if she wore black, we would've really seen how emanciated she really is.

After seeing Ursha makes me even more happier I paid only $0.78 for his album. Note: YOU ARE NOT THE ANSWER NOR FUTURE OF R&B.

The opening was very unnecessary and went on too long.

Overall, I give this year's VMS a -6

It was embarrassing. He's supposed to be so close to his mother also. I can't believe she hasn't checked his ego.
He was being out right rude to Alicia and the Mtv interviewer. I'm glad Alcia called him out on it though.

It was sad.

I Totally Don't agree with any of your comments but alot of ya hated it last year and I Loved it also. I Love this music and I love basically the performances and Beyonce looked Gorgeous as did Christina . They have Gorgeous bodies. Diidy true his Mohawk I didn't like and J-Lo looked crappy usually Prettier. I like all the Rap so it's all Cool. I liked as I did last year Christina, I liked Ludicris and all the rappers Lil Jon and alicia Ruled as did Outkast. lenny is a Babe. I liked the longer hair. But he's Hot. very sexy man... anyway, I just love this stuff I wish Prince was there but he Probably hates them anyway... Anybody down with USHER??? WHY he's Great also... Rappers excite me so if ya Hate them ya a Fool. Marilyn Manson looked Wild with his Eyelashes. Cool show...

Agreed.
I have a feeling I should stop watching now.

However...
Lenny should have spent a little more and bought the rest of the Michael outfit.

(Maybe he's just an angel in training?)

Why was Nelly constantly trying to mount Christina from the rear?
Can't she sing anything without the vocal histrionics?

Jessica Simpson reminded me of somebody's "twitchy" Stepford-wife.


Instead of the Jimi Hendrix part, Dre3000 with the new haircut, should be considered for any Ike Turner roles that come up.

My grandparents taped this show for me so I look forward to seeing this hot mess of an award show. I would normally want Prince to show up on the VMA's but I am so glad that he stayed far away from that crap. Prince is a very smart man.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

to see some parts of the show. Well, It made me even
sicker. Ugh, so sad to see the state of pop music today.

[okay peoples--i hereby dub this the official feedback thread for the VMAs, in order to keep the forum from being flooded with multiple threads about it. have at it, ya'll--Dansa]


Well I know there will be many rants on MTV and the VMAS...so heres another...

First of all lets start with MTV, first rule if you are going to throw a Bash like this in Miami, invite some Latin Artists since they Latins make up most of Miami, its just respect, and No JLO dont count, and Marc Anthony was there by default.

Second thing lets talk about the WHY's?????

Why does Good Charolette exist?

Why does Bruce Willis look like he was kidnapped?

Why is Mase back?

Why hasnt Someone beat up Lil Jon yet?

Why cant Usher leave his shirt on and Sing Live without a clip track thats in synch with him.

Why is Usher's head so far up his ass?

Why Paris Hilton around, she ain't hot, shes famous by default.

Why is Tony Hawk winning an award?

Why are all the Videos nominated for DANCE video, either Rap RB or Pop videos?

Why do I have to hear about LL's new CD so much?



Now Lets talk Performances or what they called performances?

Ashlee Simpson is horrible, case closed, shes A low budget Avril Lavigne riding her sister and wishing she was Alanis

Usher I have nothing to say, but the Ego will catch up and then you will find yourself alone

Terror Squad this is why Rap gets no respect and only sells to kids with no attention spans

That Rock performance, whoever those groups were, basically this years one hit wonders, rock is about sounding different.

Kanye West, i dont really understand the craze but whatever, and Chaka, oh my god, keeping searching for the KEY, its probably buried under your drugs.

Jessica Simpson, look your not Joe Cocker STOP ALREADY...I like your voice but you need serious training in HOW to sing.

Christina Aguilera and Nelly well Im not a Nelly fan at all, and Christina annoys me as a person (fake), but i dont really have anything bad to say about her, vocally she is strong.

Alica Keys and Stevie and Lenny .....I know alot of people were hoping for Prince on that Guitar but that will probably never happen. Alicia I love U and U are a ray of Hope and Light in a dismal so-called musical world. Lenny well hes just Lenny. And Stevie, well its a shame that the audience of teenagers HAVE NO CLUE on your genius, they are surely the BLIND ONES in more ways than one.



Now just about some people and wardrobe and all that stuff

OK now just some fun stuff,
The Beastie Boys, thanks for not changing, Im not crazy about you but i give props.

Jayz its a shame you retired when U finally were starting to actually get creative.

Beyonce, I love that outfit, but how come if Mariah wears it shes a slut and if U do its Hot.( and dont tell me Mariahs not hot)

Shakira good to see someone Latin in MIAMI????

PUFFY, bad hair day i see.


Well let me close this out on a serious note. MTV u look more foolish when U try to redeem yourself and tack on a Ray Charles tribute on to a show that featured SOULESS RB and Empty shallow music.

I look back 20 years and I see a show with Prince, Michael, Stevie, Lionel, John Mellencamp, the Eurythmics, Jovi, Duran, Depeche, Cure, AHA, etc....and 20 years later that SHOW STILL IS EXISTING.....Im sorry to say that none of what was there tonight will be there in 20 years....Well Stevie will be...and Alicia.


evillol to all of what you said.. I was thinking most of the same things while watching it.

My one big question, was WHY ON EARTH was Bruce Willis there??? And he had this look, like I am so cool to be in this room...

And I said the same thing about that one group that was on stage.. I cant' remember their names, but that kid couldn't hold a note either to save his life.. and Chaka.. WTF?? She couldn't keep on tune to save her life..

In total, as usual a total dissapointment!!!! disbelief

I missed it. Would you say there were any MTV "moments" this year?

Examples of past "moments":

2001 - Britney performs "I'm A Slave 4 U" with a boa constrictor.
2002 - Justin Timberlake's debut as a solo artist, performs "Like I Love You".
2003 - Madonna/Britney kiss.
