it was funny on the red carpet they were asking about justic but no body knew who they were

Who was asking about Justice?

I saw a yahoo! news story this morning that said "brittany bombs due to paunch." (or something to that effect.) Has the whole world turned in to TMZ. Here is a girl who got famous at 16 for the simple fact that everyone wanted to imagine themselves banging some scantly clad jailbait. It's now wonder that she is screwed up. This whole thing is gona go the way of anna nichole and then the news stories will say "what happened to this once bright star?" Her music is obsolete, and not what anyone realy cares about anyway. The VMA's are obsolete. Let's all take a day to listen to music thats worth a damn and stop giving these people attention that they dont deserve. seriously.

does nobody care that LED FUCKING ZEPPELIN are getting back together?!

"does nobody care that LED FUCKING ZEPPELIN are getting back together?!"

Last time I checked, Bonham was still dead.

i dont care

The 'party in the suites' idea is a good one, but horrible for network tv. Inevitably they would switch the show to a most of the time interesting show happening in one of the suites...just to switch back into something that would just slow the mood to molasses again. The featured performances(Britney, Chris Brown, Linkin Park) didn't compare at all to what was happening in the suites which they only gave you clips of. Maybe if they didn't do it live and just edited everything into a 'best of', it would have been a much better show(which is apparently what they are going to do). I also don't even know why they bother going live, since anything interesting is probably edited or cut away with the 5 second delay...

i only know im getting older when i just dont know any pop songs or singers. i watched a bit after curb yr enthusiasm ended...i think mtv is trying so hard to advance traditional media but it comes off as a total wreck...especially live.

how was the new new curb episode? i haven't had hbo for a year but need to get it again.

oh, im new to curb but i thought it was fucking hilarious.

i also dig that sex show tell me you love me...minus the 65 year old woman giving a blowjob to her husband.

It's freakshows like VMA's ands MTV in general that promote pop culture, and make gods out of these pieces of trash. Brittany, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Michale Vick, DMX.. WE allow them to do the things they do by watching this trash.. I say illegally download their music and seed it as a protest... don't pay for their lifestyles or support their crap on TV.... Kill your idols, kill pop culture and boycott MTV..

jamie foxx made jennifer garner so uncomfortable. it was brilliant.

so bummed peter bjorn and john didnt win!

wow. was michael vick at the VMAs?
i didn't seem himbut i was switching around channels...
did he bring any pit bulls?

It's also a damn shame that they used almost all of Justice's album as the cut-in and cut-out audio for presenters and commercials. It's a fucking shame no one knew them. Mark Ronson was there, but only like 3 people knew him. Fucking MTV. Justin Timberlake actually said something worth noting: "MTV, I challenge you to play more videos." Well said, Justin.

Fucking MTV, just a damn shame what you've become.

The VMAs were the biggest crock of shit ever. Complete waste of time this year.

"The VMAs were the biggest crock of shit ever. Complete waste of time this year."

just this year? that phrase refers to at least the last 15 years of the programme.

who has a tv these days?

The VMAs were actually good this year. The suite parties had great music like Serge from SOAD singing "Holiday in Cambodia" with the Foo Fighters. Without a host, it was much looser and friendlier.

"who has a tv these days?"

I'm sorry you can't afford a TV and basic cable. Next lifetime, study harder in school.

or just go to columbia, like vampire weekend did...

Zeppelin is getting back together? Bullshit.

How exactly is SOAD covering "Holiday in Cambodia" on MTV a good thing? Does anyone remember another Dead Kennedy's song called "MTV get off the air"? Why didn't anyone invite Jello Biafra to the VMAs!?!

Alicia Keys single-handedly made sitting through this shitfest worth it.

Alicia Keys did a good job of bringing at least a minimal sense of decency to the proceedings after that 15-minute cringe-fest (starting with Britney's pitiful performance). I also appreciated her cover of Freedom '90, but she came up short of the George Michael version, even with the choir behind her.

I thought Chris Brown and Rihanna were pretty dope.

last night proved MTV is as relevant to music anymore as Britney Spears...last night was disappointing and sad....mark ronson was seriously the only reason i was watching and fall out heroes won best group and they beat the white stripes on which universe is fall out boy considered a better band than white stripes do people really think they make better music than them that was the equivalent of rage losing to limp bizkit. and i cried a little when they were playing holiday in Cambodia the worse thing about that though was people in the site looking bored and confused cos they didn't know the song.

"jamie foxx made jennifer garner so uncomfortable. it was brilliant."

By far, the best moment. Made the whole thing worth watching.

The best bits were the things that didn't make it to air: Tommy Lee and Kid Rock getting into a fistfight during Alicia Keys performance, Foo Fighters doing Prince's 'Darling nikki' with Cee-Lo on vocals, and Lemmy doing beer funnels with Josh Homme. And the Justice afterparty at Beauty Bar was the highlight of the weekend but that goes without saying.

You can watcht that Foos performance here though:

I read this good kanye quote in the washington post this morning (I'm visiting my parents in DC) about brittney's performance. "Man, they were just trying to get ratings, and they knew she wasn't ready and they exploited her."

it's so true man. They knew she was gonna look ridiculous but they didn't care, it's good TV. It's pretty fucked up how nobody can leave that girl alone.

and for this guy:

"I'm sorry you can't afford a TV and basic cable. Next lifetime, study harder in school."

First of all, the guy was saying "who has a tv these days" because you don't need one. The VMAs are streaming in their entirety online and whatever else you want to watch isn't hard to find. so fuck TV... and fuck school. Those kids who dropped out of high school just figured it all out way before the rest of us.

(I'm late to the party, but whatev...)

Ben B.: Assuming for the sake of argument that MTV was confident Britney's performance was going to be laughable, how was inviting her to perform wrong? They didn't force her; quite the contrary, she no doubt wants to get exposure in order to build a buzz for her upcoming album and the tour that will probably follow.

Kanye said what he said just to get on MTV's case because he thought MTV didn't give him enough airtime. So he exploited Britney more than MTV did.
