As has been the recent tradition, the VMAs sucked this year. But this year they reached an all-time low and here’s why.
5. Scattered Performances:
Was it just me or did it feel like there was too much s#!t going on at once. To have 5 different venues and cutting in and out of performances was a bit much for me. Half the time they would cut to a performance and the person would be in the middle of their song. It was just too much. I like stuff simple. Whatever happened to the award show with one stage that everyone used together? Keep it simple stupid!
4. No Host
Where’s Chris Rock when you need him? (Don’t say he’s making a movie because his films are downright horrible.) One of the only things he does well is host the VMAs. I just want someone to hold the show together. They could’ve even brought back the Wayans Brothers who were horrible in their own right, just let me see something cohesive.
3. The Finale
No offense to Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, or Timbaland. Even though they have collectively ruled radio for the past 12 months it still was not enough to close the show! It was a bit lackluster for my taste. The VMAs should go out with a bang but instead they went out with a flicker.
2. No Surpises
Remember when the VMAs were filled with random surprises. At any moment Madonna or Michael Jackson would randomly show up. Yeah… those were the days. When I watch the VMAs, I want to experience something that I wouldn’t see on any other show. The could’ve wheeled out Whitney Houston smoking on a crack rock or Celine Dion flying through the air in one of her Cirque du Soleil contraptions (For God sakes, they were in Vegas). Give me something MTV, DAMN!
1. Britney Spears
Do I even need to say it? She was the epitome of the entire show… all hype and nothing to back it up.
