Foo Fighters!! Fall Out Boy!! THE MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS Hits Vegas, Baby!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
I’ve been letting TiVo store up “Real World Australia,” so I’ve missed a lot of promos and the MTV Video Music Awards has snuck right up on me while I’m waiting around to watch “Big Brother” and “The 4400.”
This show used to be as much about comedy as music. Over the years its hosts have included the likes of Jack Black, Chris Rock, Jimmy Fallon, Ben Stiller, Dennis Miller and even (if one goes back far enough) Eddie Murphy. No longer, I guess.
These days it doesn’t carry as much heat for me. It’s just an opportunity to see what the kids were listening to since I let my Rolling Stone subscription lapse. Fitting Sense. Justin Timberland. Pee Daddy. Connie West. Ratings are down, one hears. The number of categories has bene reduced dramatically and the kudofest itself has been cut back from three hours to two.
One hears also Timberland’s fellow Mickey Mouse ex, Britney Spears, might stop by to show off her latest wig? Oh, look, Jennifer Garner has popped by to plug “The Kingdom.” Paris Hilton is demonstrating she still hasn't grown a personality.
The show is being held at the Palms in Vegas tonight. I’m now watching Hayden Planetarium, who plays the indestructible cheerleader on “Heroes,” acting as greeter some sponsor’s lounge. Kurt Loder turned 62 on May 5. Yikes. MTV News’ John Norris, now pushing 50, disturbs me; he has dyed what’s left of his hair blonde and I think he’s wearing mascara.
Take up valuable bandwidth with your predictions and reactions.
9 p.m. Sunday. MTV.

First, how trivial and cool.
-
I love trainwrecks
-
What a trainwreck!
-
Yikes!
-
AS IF I WAS SURPRIZED. AS MY HUSBAND, SAID "SHE IS A LOT THICKER THAN I REMEMBER."
-
... on people's faces was priceless.
-
No matter how hard they may try to reverse their downward spiral, MTV just can't seem to realize that they've lost the kids.
-
Holy f*ing crap. They need to bring her out for 5 minutes at every awards show.
-
Wow, that was painful to watch her bomb so badly. regardless if her material was good or not the audience just wasn't having any of it. ouch.I give mtv credit for trying something different with having no host and having musical artists perform in hotel rooms but I have a feeling this is going to go down as a huge failure.
-
I was hoping she would disappear after that love fest for the reality tv contestant.
-
This show is a trainwreck, there's a handfull of people who are actually famous in the audiance, sarah sucked and britney is fat. This is the worst production I've seen in years
-
mtv doesn't even begin to represent what the kids are listening to anymore. it's become cliche at this point to call the network a dinosaur that has outlived its usefulness. even snl is playing hipper music these days. best advice is to check out a record store from time to time (or itunes, or hypem.com) if you want to stay semi-current with music.
-
this and the teen choice awards are unwatchable. "here ya go, congrats on your 'choice movie hissy fit'! how cool is this? a surfboard!" "Uhh... i'd like to thank the fans for watching my movies..." goddammit.
-
she almost fell two times. she had a potbelly and her butt was sticking out like elvis's final 77 performance. it looked like the rehearsal, rather than the real performance. she kept watching every step she made, like she was counting the steps. 1, 2, 3 step. 1,2,3 step lol.
-
beyonce got fat too!!!!
-
What's with that annoying way of showing nominees MTV???
I feel like I'm using the Mame emulator or something.
I wanna press F5 to insert a quarter and F1 for 1 player. -
You see the wife is now six weeks prego and has taken to watching tv on a habitual basis despite repeated pleas by me to continue her workout routine. those have fallen on deaf ears I'm afraid!so with that in mind she's watching this suckfest as beyonce is accepting her award. I'm playing civ4 on my work laptop and WOW this show has changed ALOT from just five years ago. ten years back and I don't even recognize it. 15 years ago (when I was 17) this show had MAJOR clout. I can remember people basically shut their lives down to watch it.no longer clearly because its obviously lost ALL credibility.and herc, as for real world oz, that's even worse. it's absolutely boring and a complete waste of time. but of course the wife is following your lead by filling up the at&t fiber optic cable dvr with those episodes. it makes me long for a new season of engineering an empire on the history channel with peter robocop weller hosting.
-
From the constant commercials that MTV is airing they have apparently decided that everyone on the channel should be as much like Paris Hilton as possible because all I'm seeing is shows full of spoiled rich air-head-acting white girls.
-
because the vmas are a freshman 15 in action. evidence: brit is still fat, jen hudson has gained AT LEAST 15 pounds, and beyonce's legs are the size of the oak trees in river oaks here in houston. I also think sara silverman looked a little hefty. but her jewish jugs keep me semi-interested.oh and her britney jokes just weren't even close to funny.lastly, the mtv "video music awards" should air on BET because me and my fellow white folks get no cred on this show any more...sob sob...
-
They could have at least shown the VMA's in HD. They have previous years on the MHD channel. But they're showing storytellers instead with bruce springsteen on that channel, blah!
-
and the network just might maintain some sense of credibility. shoot, I'd even settle for headbangers ball w/ricki rachman and yo!mtv raps with dre and the fat guy. sometimes I really miss videos.as such, props to JT for telling mtv to play more vids.
-
As they say in Montreal. I've seen better attempts by first time drag queens.
-
How did they miss Rilo Kiley or The Gossip or LCD Soundsystem or Sufjan Stevens? Leaving personal musical tastes out of it, over the past few years they all have had buzz and you've missed because they aren't major labels. Same goes for radio, come to think of it. Oh, and way to go Justin Timberlake. You mocked the award with that fake smile and called out MTV. I admire you despite myself. I've switch to Football, by the way.
-
and the kiss & make up with Paris the Heiress? Bleh. On the plus side maybe they won't let her back into Canada since she's obviously back in the states. Hope springs eternal.
-
although I don't know what a trajeek is but wow britney sucked. I've never even heard that song and I could have lip synced it better than she did.good news boys--the wife has changed to giada delaurentis everyday italian from the food network. she's got a big head but of my what a set o'cans!
-
Her jokes were hysterical -- for the 'average joes' sitting at home. Of course she wasn't going to get any responses from the audience there. The new generation of 'celebrities' are all way too sensitive to take jokes at their own expenses.
Can you imagine a 'celebrity roast' like they had way back when, only for these new starlets? First joke out and the 'guest of honor' would be calling lawyers for slander. The whole lot of them need to learn how to laugh at themselves again. -
hey, remember when Eminem did that awsome preformance of "the way i am" on the VMAs? In fact, remember when jim carrey dressed up as this biker dude and stayed in character even when accepting his speech? remember when you actually gave a damn about MTV and didint watch it only because you wanted to comment on how bad it was on the TalkBack?
-
What a poorly produced show! The lighting is bad, there's too much open space in front of the stage and no one can get up there... Then they cut away to people at parties instead of a bunch of performances on stage. Britney's little number was terribly uninspired, and she didn't even get some kind of proper entrance. 20 minutes in and it's just plain boring. This show used to be a big deal. This'll get the worst ratings yet...
-
Yes, the room, full of half-wit music execs, couldn't be bothering to look up from thier text messaging, but what did you expect?
-
It's not worth it to sit through 59 minutes of shit for 1 minute of Foo Fighters. Fuck this.
-
For best reality something or other - My Life on the 'D' List. She's got an Emmy, while Jackie Gleason is still waiting for his first. Something ain't right there.
-
You could actually her her bombing, the room was silent. The last time she was on MTV (for the movie awards i think) she was great and everybody was laughing. I love sarah but I think she uses too much celebirty material these days instead of just making jokes.
-
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
-
INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL FUCK
-
Kingdom of the crystall skull???!!??? will jar jar be in this one?
-
...is an idiot. I though you guys were smarter than that. Shame on you.
-
Both are SO over, easy.
-
Tahnk you to Linkin Park for kinda/sorta making this show watchable
-
A grown man filling a TIVO with Real World? In 2007?
-
You're a little girl!
(someone has now INWOsuxRED) -
Who the fuck watches the VMAs? They are easily as uncool, choreographed, boring, and just a knob job for talentless hacks as the Grammy's at this point. Fall Out Boy, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake? It would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic. It's literally an excuse for the worst "musicians" in the world to gather in one place and pretend like they have any semblence of talent. We shouldn't be dignifying this bullshit with coverage.
-
not so little anymore!
-
Only set to music.
-
Mad Men isn't. What the hell is going on with Mad Men? Why did Don pay his brother to go away? Whats up with that.Has the Soup ever gotten a talkback?What other shows aren't getting talkbacks? How bout that Randy Moss?
-
Nice.
-
Here are just some of the shows I'd like to see talkbacks for:
Cheaters
Vacation Home Search
Real World Australia
The Hills
Judge Judy
Vintage "Austin Stories" from mtv 10 years ago
E! News Daily
Regis & Kelly
Engineering an Empire w/Peter Weller
from here on out I'm open to suggestions... -
http://www.aintitcool.com/node /33376
28 talkbacks and counting! not to mention the threads posted in AICN's Zone (and beyond)!
-
hollah at'cha boy son!there is a never-ending list of hot topics generated from the awesome show cheaters. and to think it comes outta dallas no less.I even think we can all figure out a way to blame bush for people cheating which I'm sure harry will jump all over!
-
I'm very excited for corporate America to continue to pay the bills to get the radio stations to play this garbage. If I could only find a station that would have a playlist of less than 8 songs!! 10 songs repeated constantly is just too much. I wnat the 8 and only 8 most popular songs of the week to assault my senses.
-
A lot of cable nets have been having a identity crisis lately. It's not just MTV.
-
http://www.sirius.com
deus vult you will get your cheaters post when you earn it (or create it in The Zone).
-
...in the last year, was an episode of Run's House. I did however watch all of RW:Denver online, which is a mistake ratings-wise for them to have available on their website.
-
same time as, "Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq" the James Gandolfini show on the men and women who came back from Iraq w/ missing limbs.
-
I actually went to the vma's about 15 years ago and it was awesome...
now it is horrible and yawnful...
and who are these tools?????
this hotel concept almost works ...but the train was coming fast and empty v couldnt get out of the way quick enough -
the only good episode of Cheaters is the one where the host gets stabbed. Please don't give Herc any ideas about the Hills.
-
is Herc drunk?
-
Look Herc, I love AICN. I've never talked down about it, despite being heavily influenced by the numerous malcontents who haunt the talkbacks. I've been reading aicn since 2000 and stuck around through the terrible hosting years. I've told numerous other folks to read it and they've turned here since then for their movie news.DOESN'T THAT COUNT FOR SOMETHING?I've begged harry to move to rackspace for hosting the site despite me personally hating that company. I gave up annoying mori for his inconsistent modding and mod rules. I've even invited all you guys to houston and our FIVE alamo draft houses no less than a dozen times, and despite the closest one to austin being in katy which is not even a full two hour drive not a single aicn staff member has EVER taken me up on the offer!WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT MAN?!?lastly, The Zone scares me. always has, always will.
-
What does Supernatural have to do to "earn" a post? It's a favorite among many of the AICN community. Throw us, and the show a bone Herc. (Or at least give it and Smallville a combo post.) And by the way... JENSEN ACKLES FOR KIRK!!!
-
Nobody watched Mad Men when it started, and nobody was interested in talkbacks before they saw the show. That talkback is no longer valid, because someone posted "last" in it. IT CANNOT BE USED AGAIN! I wouldn't have watched it if it wasn't OnDemand, and I suspect others are playing catch-up, or need a reminder that there is still some cool TV on till all our favorites come back. The Zone has never been worth the hassle. Also, you should look into tinyurl, because this website won't support links to itself.
-
Greco was stabbed during the filming of an episode.[3][4][5][6]He recovered and came back to the show shortly afterwards. Jack E. Jett, served as a fill-in host briefly after the Greco stabbing incident (and hosted the episode with the incident itself), and several episodes were filmed where Greco hosted, but other personnel led confrontations. The stabbing incident was ranked number two by E! Entertainment's 101 Craziest TV Moments program.
-
I thought it was pretty funny when joey got stabbed. although I'd love to claim it happened here in houston on clear lake I'm pretty confident it took place at a lake in dallas.the crazy part of it was that joey is far from a navy s.e.a.l. and yet thought he could stage a marine boarding party complete with cameras, mics, lighting but no ar-15s w/grenade launchers or laser sights.
-
I only caught the show once or twice. I couldn't get into it b/c it didn't show any hot, rich, slutty 19 year old UT freshman girls getting drunk and high on 6th street and then going back to their dobie tower dorms to make out and play who can have their first squirting orgasm...clearly without those elements no show is watchable however.
-
MTV might as well host the Porn awards as well - they don't show porn and they don't show music videos so they have about equal amount cred in both fields. On a "God I'm Old Note" - I can remember Madonna doing Like A Virgin at the 85 Awards, I believe, and thought it was by far the coolest thing in the entire world. Now, I see the Foo Fighters on the show and wonder how many people even remember Nirvana existed. Dave Grohl you rule, but I don't think you can save this show.
-
Seriously.
-
pennsy: k-fed, who was once the laughing stock of their pathetic union, has come out smelling like a rose. and to think he's gonna actually get custody of those two kids because he can do a better job raising them than she can!wrath: I'll do you one better than madge--I remember dan akroyd and bette middler wearing the astronaut uniforms at the opening of what I want to say was the first ever awards show, but I'm not 100% sure. if I was born in 75 and virgin was 85 then I was only 10 at the oldest. but wow the show used to be awesome. and now its a total joke.
-
right now. I always love how that guy posts at like 2am when there's an actual conversation going on between three normal people and after you make your post he comes in without warning and says, in all caps no less,WHAT THIS TALKBACK NEEDS IS TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.personally I think that guy deserves his own talkback.
-
think that Jamie Foxx is kind of a douche? (I'd venture to argue that even Jennifer Garner would agree.)
What the hell was with the ADD-inspired cuts to random hotel rooms? You'll have to forgive me for (thankfully) not joining in on the action until 10.45.
Also, does anyone NOT lip-sync their songs anymore? -
while having a Slusho or six.
-
I give her props for that. The room on the other hand wasn't feeling her. Knowing Sarah though, she'd have a witty comical response for my comments. That's Sarah for ya.
-
Like Godzilla size? The view would be nice, but too many people would die with hard-ons.
-
Apparently they're re-running the awards again...Britney was fucking horrible. She looked drunk/stoned/bored out of her mind. At least most of her performance involved just walking around the stage instead of dancing.
And goddamn I love Sarah Silverman and her vagina impression. -
But I've had Music Choice in my home for 15 years and haven't listened to more than 15 minutes straight ever. It's just a cloning of the broadcast channels anyways. Except the Elvis station or the Dead Head network.
-
LMAO.
-
Talk about gluttons for punishment; the rerun of the VMA's is going on right now. May as well alienate every last person who thought MTV would take the first baby step back to relevance.
-
It's already rerunning again. what a bunch of lying douches. look it sucked the first time, nobodys gonna watch it again, and anyone who didnt already see it has heard how bad it sucked and they wont bother either.
-
Word.
-
Time to get that Rolling Stone subscription renewed. Dummy. Timbaland. Timberlake. Uma. Oprah.
-
Read the entire post next time.
-
at Silverman????? LMAO. Anyway, she tanked. HOW was that witty??
-
Did you seriously call him funny?
-
First. Ok, no, I'm not. I'm delusional. Now buy my book!!! www.anti-christ.biz
-
I heard that. I felt bad. Then I laughed out loud at her Britney-Spears'-vagina impression and jabs at Madonna, Paris Hilton, FIfty Cent, and Jewish people in general. =witty. Love her.
-
I don't get jokes.
-
And I for one agree! No more reality shows! NOW!
-
Not funny or witty in the slightest. Every punchline could be seen coming from the state over and her delivery could not have been worse. It was flatter than she is.
-
Did she really say that?
-
Do you think MTV will still be around?
-
she lip-synched it. (Barely)
-
Would have been funny is that amp they threw at the window broke it.
-
Daring MTV to play videos again. That was cool.
-
SNL could literally replay Britney's performance and it would get laughs. Silverman was hilarious...to the viewers at home. But that's just how stuck up and in another world the people in attendance are.
-
Seeing the Britney Spears thing. Wow, how unsexy can a half naked woman be? According to her, i'd almost go completely gay, if it weren't for hotties like Hayden Panatierre, Vanessa Hudgens, Kristen Bell, and many other actually atractive women out there. My god, Britney Spears looked like your local desperate stripper soccer mom. She now came up with the term MILNTF (Mom I'd Like Not to Fuck). I did hear Kid Rock punched Tommy Lee. Too bad Paris Hilton didn't come along and beat both their pussy asses up. That'd be great TV. I also heard Gym Class Heroes got best new artist. They are ok, but can you really call them new or even original. I don't think ripping off 80's tracks should win you awards. That goes quadruple for P. Shitty.
Seriously, MTV is so out of the loop. They create a celebrity rap show. Why do we need this? We don't need celeberities trying to rap, especially when we have actual rappers that can't even rap. Teach 50 Cent some rap skills or Gwen Steffani for that matter. They need more help in rapping than Perez Hilton. Hell, Perez Hilton can't even suck a dick properly, and he's gay, so why teach him to rap. MTV is just full of whining cunts, spoiled bitches, and awful music. Please don't praise Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Besides Courtney Love runing Nirvana, Dave Grohl ruined Nirvana just as much as her. If Kurt Cobain were here, he'd beat Dave to death for sounding like a fucking wuss these days. Foo Fighters were as good as their second and third albums only. After that it all went to hell. If anyone regards Foo Fighters as real rock still, has mental damage. Their new single is pure shit. That's all I really care to say. Fuck MTV and Fuck all it's praisers, clones, replicants, replicunts, and tweeners. Hope you all die soon for the greater good. -
The room with the Foo Fighters, Serj singing the dead kennedy's song, CL guesting on Darling Niki, whatever, it rocked. Can't say much for the rest of the show, but the Foo Fighters are amazing.
-
remind me of Aerosmith now, in that it just feels like a bunch of old men hanging out at a high school party.
-
Why does that no talent skank even bother with that stupid mic? She can't sing live we all know it. Not foolin anyone skankney. Rhianna looked hot, and keys, and only caught the hottie from heroes flippin channels on the pre show. And whats with that tool news guy tryin to look all hip and young with the dyed hair and eye makeup...lol!!

Did Kanye West lose again and started crying on stage?
by derlanghaarige
I didn't watch it, sorry.
-
And I watched the AFI Awards.
-
a fight that should have happened in 2002.
-
2 kids later, her body has suffered..and her music continues to inflict pain
-
all enjoying your award show?
-
"if not someone should tell her face..."
HAHAHAH Silverman kills me...that crazy jew broad! -
zati1, yes, Jamie Foxx is a GIGANTIC douche, and has been for a few years now. DerLanghaarige, yes, Kanye got shutout from all 5 of his awards and pitched another fit in front of a bunch of reporters and supposedly will never come back to mtv again, whatever that means. I know this cos i just read the story on yahoo.. :)
-
apropos of nothing, that The Fratellis kick all kinds of ass. I don't know, are they considered cool by the young kids today? Are they "indie" or "corporate?" I liked their song in "Hot Fuzz" and downloaded the album on iTunes and listen to that shit all the time....
-
ROCKS!!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hUMB_HaH_0I -
A celebrity roast or shooting the shit at a poker party. But at the VMA's?... Not so much. Same goes for Chris Rock at the Oscars. Listen, it's not that these "celebs" have no sense of humor - they are probably cracking up inside - it's just that they can't show their emotions, for fear that the reaction camera that might be on them, and then they'd look like insensitive douches on national TV (Q-ratings and all that shit). Or maybe they are just in fear of being "put on blast" themselves. One way or another, I think tonight's reaction(s) will mark the beginning of a new era of cruelty-free awards show hosting. Oh, and Merrick sucks.
-
Why in the hell would Mtv let that girl go out on stage like that? She looked 15lbs overweight with most of it in her stomach and she moved liked she had arthritis or something. Who ever is in her camp, please grab the wheel - The girls' a wreck...But I still want to fuck her though.
-
You'd think they would have learned their lesson after the most boring mtv movie awards earlier this year! just tragic! i felt as embarrassed for her as i did for britney!
-
suddenly I am very thirsty.
-
It's mindblowing. And I get that they don't play full videos anymore, but at least let your performers do their whole songs.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmQ8cp7W1Ic
Wow, did that sux.... -
for the faux Jackie Harvey faux review.
-
And why Britney's performance was so lackluster
http://tinyurl.com/2aqvmj -
sigh
-
And I see that it has the typical fans that follow crap programmed for 12 year old girls. Great.
-
Actually I think MTV is failing to capture the tween audience. Look at the popularity of Disney's High School Musical franchise. MTV is still stuck on rap and R&B, when sales in these two genres have severely declined over the past couple of years. Not only did this VMA signal the end of Spears' career, but also that of MTV's.
-
Emo wankers.
That is all.
-
seen... Britney spears can hit me BABY ONE MORE TIME... OOPS I DID IT AGAIN in my pants! and EVERYTIME I splooge i get TOXIC jism all over my keyboard because IM A SLAVE 4 my hand and I beat it like its MY PREROGATIVE. Please GIMME MORE of that sweet sweet Britney.
-
I want to punch their faces in. I hate fucking emo kids and their emo music. The worst thing is is that I see older people getting into their music... thats just not fucking cool. Leave the emo lameness to the emo teen angsters.... Can anyone else here really picture these fucking emo bands going on tour in 40-50 years from now playing their gay emo hits to the older crowds? FUCK NO... its not like it is where genesis, and Van Halen, and pink floyd can come back and tour and still fill out to max capacity anywhere they want. But i guess time will tell... PLEASE SOMEONE FUCKING SHOOT ME IF THAT HAPPENS
-
she has pretty hairy arms.
-
her vag? It'd be like a Brillo pad!
-
...should be absofuckinglutely ashamed of themselves. MTV is a vile network that has done nothing but fill the coffers of souless hacks and make mockeries of the concepts of talent and taste. If you watched this "awards show", you just gave them an undeserved ratings bump which will only help keep them on life support that much longer. The MTV network should be unplugged.
-
...sell-outs. Seriously, the notion that anyone can book the Foo Fighters (aka Dave Grohl's Vanity Project) as a way of trying to save the face of their event or promote some sort of rock-credibility is ludicrous.
-
Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, and P Diddy wouldn't be allowed in the building, much less be in a be a primary focus of all stories about the show.
-
she weren't a dirty jew.
-
Time to get fitted out for that mumu, love.
-
Your being gentle on Jamie Foxx. The guy is an obvious cunt.
-
Was Chris Brown's performance - THAT guy is the one to watch.
-
Didja see the expression on Fiddy's face, watching from the audience? He was like, "Wha thuh fuuuu....?!" Hilarious!
-
... IS hairy! Why are people from the hottest place on the planet (the Middle East) the hairiest people on the planet? You'd think the opposite would be true.
-
The white trash side of her has finally taken over.
-
MTV Sucks. Music Is Dead In The Mainstream. MTV should just curl up and die.
-
... and Silverman's pretty funny.
-
While I wouldn't necessarily count her out for weight-issues alone, I WOULD because I make it a policy not to screw idiot clusterfuck white trash mothers.
-
only thing i think justin timbarlake and i share in common is that we both want more music videos on mtv instead of the reality crap they keep force feeding us. although i don't watch mtv. but last night i caught that part of the show and thought he was right about that.
-
The show was hosted by Dr. Dre and Ed Lover. T-Money also appeared on the show doing wacky characters. Fab Five Freddy hosted on Saturday Nights. I miss those days.
-
I'd do her "Larry the Cable Guy Style" I'd git r' done flip her over and git r' again.
-
for Justin Timberlake (which still makes it a fairly low level) for talking shit on crap reality tv seconds after the vacuous bitches from the Hills handed him his "award". It looked like he paused a bit before saying "...we don't need to see... the Simpsons on reality tv." If he would have said the Hills instead, I just may have let my girlfriend have back her cd player. Instead, ot will stay locked away, but she can have one JT song as a ringtone now. Good day.
-
making fun of Britney is like Booing at the Special Olympics. (Do people actutally find her funny? she's retarded)
-
For those of you who have never actually lived with a real woman (mom don't count) through one of these, a woman's weight can fluctuate dramatically. Throw stress into the mix, and a Jennifer Hudson or a Beyonce can easily fluctuate 10-15 pounds - especially since they normally carry a bit more love on 'em than a walking stick like Christina Aguilera or a little Canuck rat (and I use the word lovingly - you know, like the rat in Ratatouille) like Avril.
-
Let's jsut hope they don't find Britney dead on the toilet in her mansion........

Real World Sydney, is easily the worst yet (just like the VMAs). However, I did see a scene in the last one that had me laughing like nothing else I've seen on TV in at least 6 months. This one dude went to apologize to his roommate for calling her a slut (even though he didn't start the fight) and he said something like this: "I'm sorry I called you a slut, I shouldn't have done that. That just comes out when I'm angry. I'll say stuff to women like you're a slut, you're a whore (the girl starts balling right about now as he's counting the insults on his fingers), you're a cunt, a twat. You know, I just say these things. But this was a REALLY good talk. A REALLY good talk." His delivery was perfect, especially the REALLY good talk part. I don't know whether he was being clever or stupid, all I know is that I could not stop laughing for five minutes straight and tears were rolling down my face. Funniest thing on TV since Cartman made Scott Tennerman eat his parents.

I think people missed the point of Britney's performance. It was an avant garde piece in which she was commenting how the paparazzi turns hot young sexpots into bloated drugged out zombies. Her performance is laughed at today, but years from now people will be reveling in the true genius of Britney Spears. It was quite clear that her performance was far too deep for those souless morons at MTV.
-
In 2037, to mark the 20th anniversary of Britney's death (auto-eroto-porkrindo-asphyxiation), Federal Express will offer holographic imagery of the legendary singer. Would-be purchasers will be able to vote for images of a) Britney in the November 2003 Esquire magazine, or b) Britney in the 2007 MTV Music Video Awards. The result? Well, impossible to see the future is, but not THAT impossible.

or dressed in a suit. Something really conservative. She needed to show class instead of trash. I think there's some truth in the story that MTV pulled Britney's planned performance. After the superbowl I can see them overreacting and seeing something as potentially controversial when it probably wouldnt have been. Criss Angel had been working with her and they had been seen together so it makes since that they had something planned for her performance. Would like to see Criss comment on this...and Tommy Lee.

agreed. He's an incredible dancer. But if you want to dance, be a choreographer or a back-up dancer. If you want to sing, then SING. If you're so talented then you should be able to do two things at once. i know the moves are compicated and it takes alot of effort but I would rather hear live singing with some heavy breathing then pre-recorded tracks. Why even have a mic attached? Who do you think you're fooling? Its like the mic is a fashion accessory now instead of what its supposed to be used for- SINGING. Gifted dancer but his songs are still shit. There are very few transcendant pop songs that even come close to songs like Benny and the Jet or Billie Jean but I think Rihanna's Umbrella is one of them. Not on par but carrying the torch. Feel Good by Gorillaz is another one and maybe a cpl songs from Timberlake and Keys. So when does the Timbaland/ Dr. Dre workout video come out? By the way, I respect all of you.

Paris, Britney, Lohan etc. all need to get together and start doing shows in Vegas

MTV is the only one I don't watch anymore. I still watch Nickalodeon ,VH1, Discovery, and Spike ( Yes, I use to watch it when it was TNN )But it just astounds me how those channels can keep an audience member for 2 decades and MTV couldn't. All in all MTV sucked the day they cancelled Hairbanger's Ball. I've only caught tid-bits here and there over the years. But one new low came when one time I was channel surfing and they had a show on called " The End of Rock " or something. Then like a year or so later they had a new special called " The Return of Rock". It kind of showed how MTV loves to think they influence the music industry and what people listen too. All in all MTV has been going downhill since Woodstock 99.

You know, you can't program for chicks between the ages of 11 and 16 for almost ten years straight and expect to still be relevant. Try peeping some demographics sometime, there are way more people over the age 20 out there than than there are under. Naturally, cuz there are more generations of people who grew up on Rock/Hip-Hop/pop even people as old as 70. But also because there just aren't as many teenagers these days as there were during well, the baby-boom. There aren't even as many as there were when MTV started in the 80's and back then you could see videos by Bowie and Tina Turner and the Stones i.e. there were more kids but the programming didn't try to be "young" and "hip" It just tried to be good. A band like the The Police or The Clash wouldn't even get air-time on MTV these days. The first couple Real-Worlds were cool cuz they had people in there that were 27, people with actual careers. Now the show only casts under 24. And they wonder why the it sucks. What else are a bunch of 18-21 year olds gonna do but sit around inside all day and drink? See, MTV just kinda said "fuck you" to all the "old" people back 1999, and even the kids from back then have moved on and joined the rest of us. Yet MTV still caters to the high-schoolers and now they are the ones that seem old and lame. Fuck YOU MTV.

Time fame. Now she just soled out. Damn!
-
Yes, she has a big ass, and I'll take her big, beautiful, fine ass any time over those emaciated skanks like Paris Hilton who are always shaking their bony asses all over the place. Plus Ms. Keys is actually TALENTED!!!
-
they wouldnt have been heaving mudballs at Carson Daly's head calling him a pussy. That would have never happened to Mark Goodman...
-
but RW-Hawaii was moderately interesting and some people seemed to think that TRL wielded real power at the time. You know, this decade really has no identity. There's not even a decent name for the shit. Other than 9-11 this just feels kinda like the 90's part II. You look at any other similar ten year period 57-67, 67-77, 77-87...a world of change over the course of each. 87-97? Things seem to be speeding up/slowing down depending on how you look at it. 97-07...uh, wtf...like, can you really compare it to 77-87? Those were two different worlds. Especially compared to this last ten year period. Like, if you traveled back in time ten, shit...even 15 years ago and somebody asked you what it was like in "the future" could you honestly tell them it was much different? If somebody from this year came back to say, 92, 94, 97, or even 99 and showed me clips from 07 I would have been shocked, not at how different it was, but by how much it was the same... only...lamer. I would have started planning a serious Sarah Conner-style strike on MTV, Hollywood, fuckin...everything. I don't but alot of it is MTV's fault. sorry I'm rambling, but yeah, Mark Goodman could kick Carson Daly's ass... even now...and he was the the biggest puss of original VJs. JJ Jackson could fuck up Carson Daly...and he's dead. He'd Zombie-fuck Carson Daly's ass into butter before he could say last call.

Insist on watching and advertising shitty tv just cuzz it's tv. I wish herc would focus on tv, but if tv is slow write a movie review or something. I don't need posts bout bionic woman or real world or big brother. Give me news that is worthy of the collective greatness that is aicn readers.

Some thought. 1)The entire show was horrible, from production design, to booking the acts, to software packages, to the director's choice of what to show and not show in the crowd. 2)The budget and payroll for the channel is huge!! Those "reality shows" are not cheap, and if they just showed videos the audience size would be the same and the overhead would be nothing. And why is Sunjin Pak still with the channel? Since the Viacom buyout in 1989, they have never let a female work on-air for longer than 5 years, and she's been there, what, 8-10 yrs. And she was weak to begin with. The BET awards on the sister network are far better. Now, I will say IMHO part of the reason Mtv is so bad is because they see the channel as a companion to Nickelodeon. Nick is aimed at 5-11 yr old, Mtv=Teen TV. And it's not working. Instead they should try to be the little sibling to Vh1 Classic, or the non-Nashville version of CMT Pure. Those two channels at least have 75% of the programming connected to the music buisness.-----later-----m

Idiocy reigns supreme.

It tells you something that I didn't even know (nor care to know) that the VMAs were on last night. Too busy watching tons of NFL football.
MTV made a concerted effort to make their channel one exclusive to teens and early-20somethings. When they did that, they bled out the entire generation that had grown with them from Day 1. (First mistake).
They also shifted their programming from music-influenced to entertainment-centered. They focused on reality TV and their own programming and are now relying exclusively on soap-opera type schmaltz.
One question: When's the last time you remember seeing a LIVE performance on MTV, of any type? You know, a concert. Not something lyp-synched and choreographed. -
decade and how it makes it painfully obvious how this last period doesnt hold a candle to the last ten. 87-97 was really the Slacker generation and was the closest thing weve had to the counter culture even though it was more in line with the late 50s surfing rebellion where a small percentage just dropped out of society and disreguarded the social clock. In the early 90s, their was still a desire for protest like the 60s because of Desert storm but it was fairly lackluster. Now, its all about the tweener dollar and advertising and marketing have been perfected. So much so that I think there is a record amount of media trauma and kids now have suffered from it. More celebrity obsessed than ever. Of course, some 15 year old will come on here and tell me I have it all wrong and that the war really is a priority. The real power of youth and revolt has been undermined now and there is more of a manufactured identity and MTV has now become part of that machine. At least in the early 90s their was a real youth culture that was spawned on its own and the music and the politics all contributed to it. Now, the culture seems to distract from the politics. TRL is an example of that in a way. Its a true music democracy so if everyone voted for Slayer one day or RATM, they would be the number one video on MTV. But noooo, they vote for the flavor of the week and whatever is fed to them instead of liking what they like because they really like it not because its what happens to be thrown at them day after day on an endless loop. I have some friends that work for MTV and theyre clueless. They only care that's its hip to work there when really its laughable. I tell them to quit and they think Im crazy. MTV could really become a force again but they would be less profitable because of it and in America in this day and age that it is unacceptable. I mean just bring back Headbangers, Yo MTV raps and Unplugged and overnight it would be a better channel. Its sad really. Yeah, and youre right WONKA...Nina Blackwood would fuck Carson into submission with a strap on then throw him to Dre to eat him. THat's Yo's Dre btw. By the way, I respect all of you.
-
and Im going to start proofreading before I post. Sorry, Walter B.
-
This was the greatest, most original show on MTV. Does anyone know how to get episodes of this? Does anyone know when MTV will ever produce something like this again? Those three guys were GENIUS!!! The fact that they all don't have HUGE careers is a travesty. The New Orleans voodoo episode might be the funniest thing I have ever seen on television. BRING BACK BUZZKILL!!!!
-
Rubbish. It is ironic that MTV choose Las Vegas. This is where Elvis ended his career. MTV took over a hotel. big whoop. What happened to MTv at the Met. Why did they dump the presenters. Did anyone see John Norris. Talk about being dressed in the dark. At least Kurt loder didnt show. Loder is at least 70. not being ageist. Why did Britney bother to turn up. She is a bit like MTv fat bloated and pointless, kind of like Chris Moyles. what sort of a rubbish name is that?
-
I agree with the other posters who question why Herc feels the need to cover anything from that abortion of a channel. "MTV" and "cool" are not words that ever belong in the same sentence.
-
The hotel format was unique, and got rid of the whole having to intergrate rather obvious clash of personalities. Britney was somewhere else though, she was so out of it she couldn't be bothered to lip snyc half the time. Sliverman stunk, she only had about five minutes to fill thank god and it seemed like 50 Cent didn't find presenting an award with Kanye West very amusing even if Kanye did. Foos's (and their room) were awesome as were Timberland/Lake, that Brown guy is an excellent dancer but needs someone to write him a decent song and sing it for him. When are people going prentending to be Micheal Jackson and come up with something new BTW ? I pay for MTV as part of a package, i hadn't watched it since the movie awards, they do need to sort out their programming but how they can compete with something internet ?
-
is too much for me. Who says men can't do two things at once.
-
Should have won vid of the year. I watched the show and I don't even know which one won...sad show. But his stock for me upped when he said to play more vids. Will never happen but still good to hear.
-
Is that on MTV or MTV2? I don't really know. I just know the rest of MTV sucks.
-
She gave the audience in the theater and at home exactly what they deserved. Utter disdain and throw away jokes she spent no time on. I hope she made a million dollars and left when she finished. Why is MTV still on the air?
-
She's like Adam Corolla, but with tits.
Vulgar, one of the guys, and kind of unattractive and hairy.
Bu-bu-but she has tits and says a lot of inappropriate things, so she MUST be funny!
She ain't no Mitch Hedberg. -
To qoute an ex-uk fan at the premiere of her awful movie she can stick her come back up her arse. Her sister is the one to watch. She seemingly has more talent.
-
after all he came up with it. Seriously. MTV is his idea.
-
Is the music of today so bad as this show made out? Let's hope some real musicians come through in the next couple of years to save it. MTV just showed the world how NOT to make a television show. It's so shockingly awful that it's close to comedy. It was actually funnier than anything Sarah Silverman could ever say.
-
Keep 'em comin'. Especially the ones that mention jugs, bush, vag, or titty-fuck.OK, so no one's mentioned titty-fucking, but here's hoping...
-
Silverman's abridged summary of Spears' career was very poignant. Spears' performance was akin to watching George Wendt perform a tap dance. But what the hell do you expect from a chronic boozer whose self-indulgent behavior begs for self-destruction? I'm sure she retreated to her trailer park, popped pills, sucked down some furniture polish and then blamed everybody else for her lousy performance. Not unlike MTV, she's dead but isn't quite aware of it.
-
Silverman's minute was her apology to Paris Hilton. On Silverman's scale, that was a sell-out. And the audience knew it. And that's why she lost them, and there was only a smattering of chuckles. She needs to apologize to us for apologizing to Paris.
-
Dane Cook is not. But nobody...and I mean NO FUCKING BODY will EVER hold a candle to Bill Hicks. Ever. In conclusion it was nice to see the fall of Britney. FINALLY.
-
Last night I took a break from some writing work, so I relaxed by watching a few YouTube videos I keep bookmarked. A few of those were some old BEATLES clips, which once again only served to ram home the point what utterly talentless shit the music world churns out today -- certainly when it comes to the "stars" of MTV and what they think is good music.Seriously, one moment I'm watching 4 guys in their prime who could write their own music, play their own instruments, could harmonize perfectly and do it flawlessly LIVE...and then the next minute I'm looking at pop culture and magazine queen Britney and clips of her Awards Show disaster, a person who is SUCH a joke that I can't decide whether to laugh out loud at the thought of her squeezed into her stripper briefs and actually thinking she looks sexy that way OR crying uncontrollably over the fact that she's STILL making raking in millions for being hack-like trash of the lowest order.What I loved most was an MTV commercial that someone had uploaded...which was running PRIOR to the Awards show...that trumpeted her forthcoming apprearance. Assorted quotes fade in and out on screen, the last one being the standard over the top hyperbole "She's back, bitches!"Yes, Britney -- you were back and now forever gone. All because you were utter SHIT on stage. My favorite moment in her performance occures when she tries to take a turn and actually wobbles and screws it up, as if she's completely drunk or drugged up and doesn't even know IF she's supposed to turn at that point. And her face just shows this utter vapid look that screams out "Oh wait...maybe I step here. Fine, I'll do that. Now I'll just stand and let them oogle me 'cause I look so damn sexy tonight." I swear, it's completely pathetic. My teenage neice -- heck, your daughters or you neices -- could have danced better just getting up there and simply winging it.Which brings me back to the YouTube BEATLES clips and Britney. Watching the Beatles take the stage and actually PERFORM their music was exhilerating. Because they knew it was THEIR music and because they actually felt a responsibility to put on a PROFESSIONAL performance. Which is something Britney and too many of these so-called modern "stars" have completely forgotten about.Which brings me to hoping MTV actually FIRED some people today. Seriously, what the fuck? For all the money you spent putting on this show...hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions when you take into account running ads and throwing parties to entertain the "stars" and all that crap...haven't you ever heard of this thing called A REHEARSAL? What, you're telling me NO ONE from MTV sat down and said "Gee, maybe we should see just WHAT the Britney opening number is going to be like to see IF it's good or IF it still needs some adjustment."But did they do that? No. Or if someone did, then he/she deserves to be hauled into an exec's office today and have their ass canned on the spot for approving such a truly vomit-hurling show. MTV's time has come and gone much like Britney. Hopefully some bean counter, after this whole disaster, will finally realize it's either time to pull the plug entirely and use that money far more wisely OR someone will get smart really, really fast and realize "Wow! We really DO have utter shit people running this place! Let's clean house immediately and start FIRING these incompetent morons and get back on track, so we CAN make money again."
-
Even Alicia Keys, who usually puts on good performances, was kinda boring. The best part of the show was seeing the Foo Fighters, and we barely saw that! I went on MTVs website and watched the whole Foo Fighters set! I wished they headlined the show! They had Serj Tankian from System of a Down, Cee-Lo from the Dungeon Family, Queens of the Stone Age, Motorhead, AND THE MIGHTY MASTODON! If they had those guys play on the main stage, they would've shitted on every other "Performer" there! Oh, and they should've had Kanye on the Main Stage too. I hope MTV ceases to exist.
-
She basically called her a whore again.
-
..The Killers, The White Stripes, The Shins? Any number of actually good acts that could be highlighted. Sorry but Foo Fighters are so fucking bland they make my eyes bleed. Fall Out Boy is like N-Sync for wanna-be emo punkers. And the rest of the show was like the BET awards. Seriously, MTV is strictly about marketing synergy, getting ads to young viewers. The only thing sadder than that is the fact that anyone thinks they are actually going to change it. There's too much money to be made by whoring themselves out.
-
FUCK YOU to the people that run it.
-
I don't generally like the Foo Fighters, but I liked the bits with Cee-Lo and Serj (I was surprised by Holiday in Cambodia)
But I did not see Lemmy. What song was he on? -
was pretty neat. They should consider doing something in the studio and see what happens. They showed some nice synergy.
-
okay, so maybe the show sucked, but what did you think of the announcer? It was me, so be gentle ;)
