That's the way I feel about RN. I love Alright, though. I never tire of the song or performances.

Lawd yes!
I like Alright but as a performance it's a snoozer.

I hate how she cuts the good songs like Miss You Much short

midiscover said:

or when she cuts whole songs from set lists. she's really bad at cutting shows short in smaller markets.

ehuffnsd said:

Yes, and she tends to cut "Alright" a lot.

daPrettyman said:

black cat gets cut alot as well.

ehuffnsd said:

I forgot about that one, but yes, it does.

midiscover said:

I remember watching MTV as a kid and the only reason I watched was for them

I vividly remember the premieres for Black or White, Remember The Time, That's The Way Love Goes, If, Again, Jam, You Are Not Alone, Together Again, Got It Til It's Gone, Go Deep.....the list goes on and on


and if you think the premiere of Scream wasn't an event.....slap yoself!

I remember it just like it was yesterday!!

Janet and Mike forever!!

...MTV royalty Janet Jackson will kick off this year's VMAs with a musical tribute to the life and career of her brother Michael Jackson. The man who helped shape MTV from the beginning and provided many memorable VMA moments, of course, deserves to be honored at the top of the show.

I still hate them

They did Janet and Mike wrong!

midiscover said:

Isn't it weird that MTV USA burned their bridges with Michael in 2002 THEN fucked things up with Janet 2 years later?


Hmmm....


I say MTV USA because the UK and Japan outlets have always shown them respect

bboy87 said:

what did they do to Mike in 02?

bboy87 said:

They bit the hand that was feeding them! They really wouldn't be shit with out those two! And what they did to Mike wasn't funny....at all!!

Thats why i dont fuck with MTV anymore, They threw Janet under the bus and now they have a list called the VMA's Landmarks

15 names and Prince, Michael and Janet is not listed

ehuffnsd said:

They announced the were giving him the Artist of the Millineum award and was to be presented by Britney Spears, so Michael goes and gives a speech then Jimmy Fallon came out with a replica of the statue they gave Michael and said "Apparently they're giving these out to everyone backstage". They had it on their front page the next day that Michael was given the MTV Artist of the Millineum award then took it down shortly after and said that it was a misunderstanding: Michael wasn't given an award and that they simply was giving him a cake and that "thing" They also said that Michael's people must've told him differently.

After his passing, they recanted and said it was in fact the artist of the millineum award they gave him

banks said:

That's crazy as hell.

midiscover said:

his relationship started to sour in '91 when they said they got a fax saying his people demanded them to call him the King of Pop then had that impersonator (that guy who choreographed Rhythm Nation with Janet) and mock the whole thing

Janet had a great relationship with them until the whole Superbowl incident

I'm still wondering how Justin came out of that smelling like roses....

banks said:

Is Madonna listed?

bboy87 said:

Didn't they try to turn it into a birthday thing for MJ? If I remember correctly, the broadcast was on his b'day.

daPrettyman said:

yep

they said they were just trying to give him a cake and that statue as a gift

the shit didn't look right at all I still can't watch it because I start to cringe

Michael was pissed off and refused to leave until he got some kind of clarifaction or an apology

bboy87 said:

yes

bboy87 said:

Really?!?! When I watched it live, I really thought MJ had it confused.

banks said:

I'm not surprised

bboy87 said:

yes she defines the VMAs, but it's a total back handed compliment
[Edited 9/10/09 14:50pm]

bboy87 said:

They also just posted the seating arrangements and they have Janet sitting right next to Beyonce

bboy87 said:

Who's Justin? The blue-eyed white guy?

banks said:

It makes me wonder if MTV didn't pay her very well to do this tribute. Not to mention, they need a big draw to get their ratings for the show up.

Not to mention that JJ may be using this as a launching pad to revive her popularity.

I just don't want to get into it, lol. It's just business.

They don't pay performer's to do these show's
