VMAs were a bit of a bore


The VMAs were rather tame this year by several accounts. It’s hard to top Madonna making out with Britney and XTina, when James Blunt wins two awards and The Black Eyed Peas get “Best Hip-Hop” for the abominable “My Humps” you know you’ve got problems.

Despite the lack of memorable moments the VMAs weren’t entirely predictable. Both Shakira and The Red Hot Chili Peppers won consolation prizes, and many of the top awards went to unexpected artists.

Performances by Beyonce, Shakira, and Justin Timberlake were said to be decent, but not incredible.

Is it possible that the “MTV Video Music Awards” have actually become boring? The live broadcast from Radio City Music Hall was a night of shout-outs, praises to God and numerous calls to “make some noise.” But there were very few shocks and no iconic moment from the awards show that just a few years ago found Madonna and Britney Spears kissing. The only thing that came close was Lil’ Kim presenting in a prison uniform. – Boston Herald


Where are Eminem and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog when you need them?

Despite Shakira’s ever-gyrating hips, Justin Timberlake’s SexyBack and the obscured image of a naked midget, last night’s MTV Video Music Awards had about as much spontaneity as an episode of Cribs. – London Free Press

    Abit of a bore! I’m never watching another awards show again. They suck. Celebrities are so accesible now. It’s just not exciting to see them on awards show.

    Sarah Silverman.. yes she was AWESOME! I loved how she made fun of her but not enough to really be bad… and she also made fun of anorexia a bit etc just in general. Liked it.

    I can see the problem in a nutshell. Look at the list. Its all hip-hop and rap. And not a real ‘band’, like that actually plays instruments and writes actual music, in the bunch.

    But I guess mtv never really was about rock. No wonder their awards show bites.
