My, How The Mighty Have
Fallen!
Ok, so another MTV Video Music Awards have
come and gone. Great, now it's gonna be six months of everybody here at
school copying the every action of the "Video Of The Year" winner (which
was Eminem and, come to think of it, everybody already copies him...s***..now
it's just gonna get worse!! AWWW f***!!!). Funny thing about the VMA's,
they use to be one of the only watchable things on MTV..but not anymore.
Now they have that TRL feel to them, which makes me sick naturally.
This year's VMA's were a train wreck from
the word "go". Starting with the terrible audio on Papa Roach's' performance...continuing
all night with the two guys from In Living Color who never amounted to
jacks*** (Shawn and Marlon Wayans) stepping all over each other and just
flat out sucking as hosts...and ending with the absolutely pathetic performance
from NOFX.. err.. Green Day... err... awww s***, what's there names???
Oh yeah...Blink 182. yeah, that's it. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic!!
Seems to me the formula for the VMA's is
pretty much; "Take a legendary venue, set up some gluts, grab up a comedian
or two and give 'em mics, fill the joint with Celebs and teeny boppers,
add a bunch of performers and presenters who won't be remembered in 7 months,
mix in some people that the older
generation can like, add water, serve
cold" Who cares if it sucks right?? MTV doesn't. They still get mad cash
from it and they probably hook another couple hundred thousand people into
the mindnumbing stupidity that is their daily programming.
Of course, don't get me wrong...the VMA's
have had some really cool things happen over the years.. But every time
the jackasses at MTV put on a show like this years, it just soils the cool
stuff that's went down. Need reminded?? Let's review real fast...
1.Sting showing up on stage with Puff Daddy
for the "I'll Be Missing You" tribute to the Notorious B.I.G
2. Nathaniel Hornblower wrecking shop on
REM triumphing the case of Spike Jonez for best direction in a video...(for
those of you who don't know..Hornblower is actually one of the Beastie
Boys {can't remember which one right now} and he was upset that REM's 'Everybody
Hurts' had beaten the video for 'Sabotage' in that category.)
3. Howard Stern...Fartman. 'Nuff Said.
4. Micheal Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley...once
again, 'Nuff said
5. (A note: This doesn't mean I like this
artist..but I found the performance quite interesting). Marylin Manson
performing "Beautiful People" to end the '97 VMA's.
Now, this list is just a short collection
of things I've personally seen in my VMA viewings over the years, and I
will say this...you can add a highlight from this years VMA's to the list.
Tim C from Rage Against The Machine f***ing up Limp Dicks acceptance speech.
That, ladies and gentlemen was beautiful television.
I'll close with one final thought. Christina
Aguleria and Fred Durst doing that thing they did was the most disgusting
thing I've ever seen. If I didn't already hate Fred Durst I would have
after being subjected to that!!
Of course, that's just my opinion and I
could be wrong.
