What’s up y’all!
It is that time again. Here is today’s run down…
The VMA’s were hosted by the British born Comedian Russell Brand who very well may have been funny, but I could not understand a word he said. That is until he told the audience to vote for Barrack Obama. From that point on he was alright with me. All the HYPE was around Britney Spears opening the VMA’s and to my dismay, it was ALL HYPE! Britney just introduced the real opening act…Rhianna.
Side Bar-Is it me or does Britney have the worst weave job this side of the Pacific Ocean??! Brit, if you are out there, my cousin Nee-Nee can hook you right on up. Just remember to bring your own hair…
Rhianna showed her tail last night. That lil’ sista is all of that…even if she can’t “really” sing! She opened the show performing her hit Disturbia, rocking feathers and thigh boots. The girl is BAD!!
Jamie Foxx being his comedic self introduced the Best Female Video which went to Britney Spears. Although, I think it was a travesty of justice to give her that award, I was happy for her.
Side Bar-Why was Jamie bustin’ on T.I.?? Okay, the real question is WHY did T.I. have on a red VELOUR blazer in the freakin’ summer time??! FIRE YOUR STYLIST!! Nuff said…
The Jonas Brothers performed their latest hit on a make shift Manhattan stoop, playing a tambourine and electric guitars until the walls came down and they ran to the stage and performed in front of a sea of sexed crazed teenaged girls. The performance was brilliant but the attire was a hot, nasty, Little House on the Prairie mess! Give Laura Ingalls daddy his clothes back!
The sexy swimmer Michael Phelps introduced Lil’ Wayne, Leona Lewis and T-Pain while his theme music (Jeezy’s, “I Put on for my City”), played in the background. Leona looked great and her dress was FIERCE. In fact, it was FIERCER when Beyonce wore it on the red carpet 3 years ago. It must have been a classic. T-Pain always looks a mess and it would be more shocking if I saw him looking good so his attire was indeed appropriate. Lil’ Wayne performed half naked (as usual) with his azz out and a red hanky in his back pocket. The performance was full of energy but the fact that his pants were beneath his azz, took away from the greatness of the performance because I (like everyone else) was wondering if this was going to be a great blooper moment.
Side Bar- My thug homies told me that Wayne’s attire is how jokers roll when they are locked up (in the penitentiary) and looking for some action. Hmmmm…I’m just sayin’…
Okay, this has nothing to do with nothing but what the heck was wrong with Ciara’s hair? She looked like a Diana Ross female impersonator from the 60’s. Nuff said…’cause I love me some Ci-Ci!
And the laugh of the night went to the best dance video….losers. Nominated were Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Danity Kane and the Pussycat Dolls. And the winner is…the Pussycat Dolls! I guess now that Chris Brown no longer feels threatened by Ne-yo, he will start a “beef” with the Pussycat Dolls. Don’t worry Chris, I doubt if they take the time to write a dis’ song about you.
My apologies, the laugh of the night went to the Kid Rock/ Lil’ Wayne performance. It was going so well until Lil’ Wayne started feeling the spirit and thought that he was a soloist in the church choir.
Side Bar- Lil’ Wayne if you are out there take heed…Kid Rock is the only no singing Rapper out there that can sing and get away with it. Nuff said…
Lastly, the performance of the night went to my FAVORITE rapper, Kanye West AKA the Louis Vuitton Don. In fact, I have to retract my last statement. Kanye is the only non-singing rapper that can sing and get away with it. His performance was ON FIRE!! However, I am a bit biased towards people from Chicago. GO OBAMA!!
Overall, the VMA’s were horrible and a waste of time watching. The highlight performances were the beginning (Rhianna) and the end (Kanye West). The crap in the middle was just that. Not only were the awards that were given out a bit biased, it seemed like a Young Hollywood “Has Been” Convention. From Britney winning Video of the Year to Lindsay Lohan introducing the best dance video, it is a wonder I didn’t change the channel thinking that this was a rerun from the VMA’s 10 years ago. Whoever produced this crap had a HORRIBLE idea when they decided to tape the ENTIRE show on the Paramont lot. Needless to say…somebody’s head is going to roll. Get your resumes ready people. I suspect a vacancy at MTV real soon.
Holla back!
Peace,
Sony
