Top 3 of the Week: Things That Annoyed Me at the VMAs




1) Kanye West--Get Over Yourself
I never liked the guy and never will. Clearly, his intent was to get on the front of the Yahoo homepage, and get the whole country Tweeting about his unnecessary call up to the stage to proclaim that Taylor Swift did not deserve to win Best Female Video of the Year, Beyonce did (Beyonce later won Video of the Year, which may have explained her loss in the female category...not sure if MTV ever awards both to one singer/band). But Kanye, who loves drama, had NO business getting up on stage other than to just see his name in the press the next day.



2) Lady Gaga Took it Too Far
Talk about someone who craves attention, Lady Gaga's outfits Sunday night went above the call of making a fashion statement. No, no. No fashion was involved when she tried to obnoxiously steal the attention with her over-the-top, dramatic and quite frankly, unflattering outfits. I normally respect Gaga for having her own style, but her outfits last night were so inexcusably ostentatious that I actually lost respect for her.


3) What Have The Awards Become?
Between every extraordinary performance and outlandish behavior on TV, the Video Music Awards should just be called "Music," because no one watches the videos anymore thanks to MTV never showing them, and in turn, no one cares who wins the awards (except Kanye West, apparently). So we are left with the performances to be entertained with, and if last night was an indication of what the VMAs stand for, then they should just call it a damn concert.

Ur so right about MTV never playing videos in the first place, so we don't even watch them to begin with. bring back the music, MTV!

Kanye's stunt was absolutely bogus-- what a rude, obnoxious thing to do. but, alas, JeremyJ's right--- Kayne's music is still the bomb.

I'd rather Lady Gaga's fashion statements, albeit unusual and ornate, because it's at least fused with her persona. A persona that is crazy crazy talented. Better than Shakira and Pink who wore the SAME dress.

and Brooke did NOT watch the show.
