The only group I care to see is Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and I figure they will either go first or last since those are typically the biggest performaces.


I hate to have to sit through all of those dang commercials waiting for a random viewing. On an off subject note, why are the awards so early this year? Normally they happen a week later, not the tail end of August.

1) You are probably right, that'll probably be the final performance. I don't think a schedule is made public, though.

2) They made it earlier because last year was so close to the 9/11 attacks, so I suppose it's a respect thing.

Well, first is crap, then crap, followed by crap, then with a whole lot more crap, and then hopefully Springsteen.

i hope they get bruce and company out of the way as soon as possible heh out of everyone on the list, he doesn't seem to fit in. but hey, if you are a fan, you are a fan, nothing wrong with that.

anyway, this isn't the order (haven't been able to find anything about that), but here is everyone who is performing:



Ashanti
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Sheryl Crow
Eminem
The Hives
Ja Rule
Nas
P. Diddy
Pink
Shakira
Justin Timberlake
The Vines

No Britney performace this year? Shame .

also, ashanti will be performing with fat joe as well. also, we could "possibly" see j-lo and ja rule (oh no) do aint that funny remix.

I swore I saw Sheryl Crow listed as a performer, but then she mysteriously "disappeared". She's not mentioned in some of the promos, so what gives?

here are the presenters
Christina Aguilera
B2K
Brandy
Bow Wow
Clipse
Sammy Hagar
Enrique Iglesias
Anthony Kiedis
Avril Lavigne
Linkin Park
Kylie Minogue
Nelly
P.O.D.
David Lee Roth
Britney Spears
Usher
American Idol Finalists
American Idol Judges (Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson)
Carson Daly
Kirsten Dunst
James Gandolfini
Kate Hudson
Johnny Knoxville
Heath Ledger
Brittany Murphy
Mike Myers
NSYNC
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
and Busta Rhymes.

Could have sworn they were going to let The Osbournes do something. Oh well.

They probably did, before Sharon Osbourne got cancer and all.

well according to this link
http://www.mtv.com/news/polls/vma_preditions_2002/
they are going to make an apperence.

I was just going to watch this show out of habit, but looking at that list of performers and presenters, the only person I'd really be interested in seeing is Kirsten Dunst. Oh well, it's repeated so much, I'm sure I'll see it eventually.

Springsteen is supposed to perform first from a remote location in NYC.

Is it even worth watching without her annual striptease?

how about this thread on the up to date thread on the vma's. also if you dont get mtv or just dont feel like getting off the computer (or uncensord language) click here to view the thing live. http://www.mtv.com/onair/vma/2002/co..._preshow.jhtml

Dr DVD,
