Yeah, I'm glad FOB took that award home, great guys.

yep...Fall Out Boy is badass.

It was for a film, so I'm sure he's since washed it off.

I love how as soon as it ends Loder and Norris talk it up like it was an amazing show. I've seen some shitty VMA's, but this one was probably the worst.

too bad they didn't sound too hot during the pre show.
oh and for shits and giggles, who won video of the year, and who "closed" the show.

True, they don't sound particularly good live....how did Slim Thug and Paul Wall sound in the preshow?

Green Day won best video, Kelly Clarkson closed

Hammer wishes he had half the energy that 50 has. Did you see the way he was pacing back and forth with the occasional near the crotch grab? AWESOME! !!!1!1!!!! I am SO glad i'm not the only one that thought this.

Thought it was funny that Beyoncé didn't look like she wanted to be anywhere near the other two. And how 'bout the way Paulina Rubio removed Lil Jon's arm.

I was really hoping that 50 Cent/Game video won, then they'd get up on stage, shoot each other, then that'd be two down. Acutally, I was hoping Katrina would make a return appearance and take 'em all out.

The same thought crossed my mind as soon as I saw they were nominated.

for whatever reason i liked the fact that this year they actually let artists play one full song instead of a melady of 3 songs. (and the rock songs weren't all bunched together like last year.

Oh...and I gotta say...it was surprising that Puffy mentioned B.I.G. He hardly ever does that.

And one more thing as I finally see the beginning when Puffy made his entrance...I noticed that a lot of 80's snippets were played. It's funny how that music seems practically Beethovian in comparison to the majority of the shit that's out today.

Either that, or he's planning to sample them...

that was hilarious. He is one ugly mfer.

for those that watched the pre show, did Kurt Loder look out of place this year? (he called the rapper Young Jeezy "lil jeezy" and he kind of got pissed at him.

I think it's time for him to hang it up. He turned 60 this year!

best things:

--shakira's performance
--beavis & butt-head
--killers performance
--green day performance
--THE SHOW LOOKING "REAL" AND NOT HAVING THE FAKE FILM GRAIN

thats what i was saying!

also didn't P puffy diddy daddy farty licky (Lewis Black) mention that Joel Madden (good charlotte) and Hillary Duff are to rock what Beyonce and Jay Z are to rap? I'm sorry, sure I listen to Duff, but thats not rock music by any means.

I wouldn't consider either of them rock.

I'm 25 and I can't stand that crap. Besides Shakira and Green Day, the rest of the "music" suck. I just wish that someone put back the M(usic) on MTV. And I also can't stand P Dildo and his self-indulgent crap. He is the most succesful un-talented "artist" I have ever seen.

I was laughing my ass off with the Paulina Rubio thing, and was expecting that the 2 other girls from Destiny's Child began to brawl with Beyonce.

As for the rest of the show, Lohan needs to eat something, Duff should go back to the dentist and remove her veneers and dump that no talent boyfriend and Ashley Simpson should just dissapear. R. Kelly was competing for the worst lip-synching award, also known as the Ashley Simpson Memorial for worst performer. I was glad to see MC Hammer. If it wasn't for him, Kanye, Jay-Z, Snoop and all those other rappers would not have recieve those sweet endorsement deals.

Like Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon:
"I'm getting to old for this"

When Jermey Piven was up presenting I kept imagining him having an Entourage moment and going into his agent's office in the morning and firing him for having him do this show.

what did fat joe say about 50 and what was 50s response?

Do you think "the kids" realize that all these artists are up there because their record companies pay MTV to "nominate" them? That the only reason we keep getting bombarded by all this complete crap is because MTV makes a killing from record companies? I have 2 kid, one is almost 3, the other is 6 months. I will sit them down (when their age is appropriate) and have them spend a day listening to music that I grew up with so that they're not brainwashed into thinking that "music" (calling it lightly) today is any good.

Can we please stop saying "Yo", "Wassup" and "yeah", etc? Perfect example of what I'm talking about is when those 5 guys in white suits came out (no idea what "group" they were). They all pranced around saying those words.

All that said, it was worth watching for Green Day and Shakira. You could have shut it off after Shakira and not missed much. No idea what Shakira was singing about, but she can sure speak my language.

Why was My Chemical Romance given like 1 minute to do their song, yet you have 50 talking to everyone for like 5 minutes. And thats realy what it is.

I thought the most laughable thing all night was that guy that is suppose to be the best Freestyle rapper in the world (he was with Knoxville) and he does his rap and it was like they asked me to do some rap. I mean, it couldn't have been worse.

As bad as the music is nowadays, can they AT LEAST make a rule that you can't lip sync, that you actually have to perform your music live?

I will now light myself on fire.

There was a lot of ridiculous stuff this year to laugh at, but at least it was somewhat entertaining. The last couple VMA's have been so bad they're practically unwatchable.

Wet Kelly Clarkson was kinda cool

Kelly Clarkson all wet was the best part

Payola has been going on for a LONG time. It was going on when the artists you're going to expose your kids to were being played on the radio as well... it's how the industry is. Unfortunately, MTV has turned into the end-all-be-all for the younger generation... kids learn how to BE from this insipid station, and no one is doing anything about it. It's unfortunate, but that's just reality these days... there's no escaping it I'm afraid.
