bigjim25

I heard somewhere that Beyoncé had the best video of all time. I'm rooting for either one by Lady Gaga

Dragon Tattoo

Bad Romance for the win.

Rypro 525

Am i the only one wondering why 'airplanes' is nominated for best male video? if they wanted a B.o.B video for the cattagory, why not pick "Nothin on You" instead.

Sessioner

Who the fuck are those people?

Seriously, tho, who are they? I guess I'm the wrong demographic for this show.

Rypro 525

The lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars is Jared Leto (lead in Requiem for a Dream, been in a bunch of movies) Can't help ya on the other stuff

MrSmearkase

I'm watching some of the White Carpet coverage, and I don't know a lot of these people, and those I do know of, I couldn't pick one of their songs out of a line-up.

flashburn

Man, looking at the nominations reminded me how current "Popular" music has to be the worst it has EVER been. Either that or I'm just getting too old. It's probably a bit of both.

Rypro 525

I actually had to look up 2 of the top songs as even i had never heard of them

boredsilly

I know who plenty of these people are, but I can agree with you on the "too old" stuff. This show makes me feel like a geezer.

Rypro 525

hell if i make it through Chelsea Handler's "comedy" or the Beibs singing, i'll be amazed.

Rypro 525

wtf? Kesha just said that she is litterally wearing a garbage bag from home depot as a dress

Rypro 525

and eminem opens the show

boredsilly

Oh, this is kind of hard to watch.

Rypro 525

has anyone found any of this funny?

FantasticVSDoom

Something about Lady Gaga that makes me want to smash stuff... And I dont even mind her music all that much.

boredsilly

I think it could be because you view her as trying too hard? I dunno, I sort of like her, in spite of her music.

FantasticVSDoom

Obviously Im not the intended market for this but wow...

Rypro 525

is Bieber lip synching?

dx23

Justin Bieber has to be the worst act ever on that show. And I'm pretty sure that kid has sucked cock.

Joeboo835

of course he is, no one actually sings anymore. And people don't seem to care, which I will never understand as long as I live.

Rypro 525

i loled, when he talked, he sounded like his balls have inded dropped

Rypro 525

when did Usher start doing Autotune?

boredsilly

I've never approved of it, and never really understood it, save for when an act is doing a lot of dancing. That makes it slightly more understandable, but still not ideal.
