Let's talk about last night's MTV Video Music Awards!! There is plenty to say!!
The white carpet was different but nice... I liked the look of it but pity whoever had to clean it up after the fact!
I was really looking forward to watching Chelsea Handler host the show! Apparently, she was the first female host of the VMAs! Huge feat! The problem I had with her last night is that she did not bring the funny that's she's famous for! Her jokes were dry and borderline racist! I love her but I didn't let that cloud my judgment. She bombed as a host! She should be pleased that the Nielsen ratings favored the show! It was the most watched VMAs in 8 years! I still love her show 'Chelsea Lately' and will continue to watch.
Moving onto to the fashion. There were lots of hits and misses but Lady Gaga knows how to steal the damn show! Like she always does! She's always dressed in something outrageous that will have people talking for days! Who else would have the guts to piss off PETA by wearing a get-up made from raw meat including the head accessory of a slab of meat? NOBODY but Gaga. Did you see the hooves she had on at some point in the night?! This woman is an alien with superpowers to be able to walk in those Alexander McQueen bad boys! She also pretty much swept the awards! She won in every she was nominated she was nominated in! It is clearly her year! And what about Cher? Isn't she like 90? Damn! How does she manage to outshine the younger bitches with that bod? We all need to drink from the fountain of youth that is Cher!

Onto performances. Most of them were just so so... Nicki Minaj and Will I Am (in black face, wtf?) fizzled on the pre-show performance. I was left with a blank stare after they were done! Eminem and Rihanna (who should fire whoever styled her) were underwhelming! Lip synching was the order of the night! Justin Beiber did his thing and I must admit that I too have the Beiber fever! He can't do any wrong in my eyes! Mine is a healthy adoration unlike some of the people out there! Usher was amazing in his dance moves but no one could escape the fact that he was lip synching as well. Taylor Swift's much publicized diss/forgiveness song for Kanye was boring and kinda ridiculous! So you were wronged a year ago.. time to get over it!! Urggg....hug it out with Kanye next time and please don't subject our ears to that mess! B.O.B and Hailey from Paramore were ok.
The performance that took the cake for me was Kanye's closing song/rap! OMG! Kanye is many things (pompous, whiny, arrogant, talented, creative etc etc) but that performance left me wondering, was this his way of saying I don't apologize because I am who I am - a douchebag, an asshole, a jerk off! Let's just toast to me and all those like me out there! Hilarious! Some people called it genius. Judge it for yourself...
