It's VMA time again and you know what that means...
Highlights and not-so-highlights according to moi. So let's get right to it:
- Lady Gaga opens the night with a win for Best Female Video. No huge surprise there. As usual, her outfit is over the top, but that's what we expect. You know what I think would be an even bigger shocker? If she showed up next year in a pantsuit and sensible shoes.
- Out of all the nominees for Best Rock Video, I only recognized the name of one group. This makes me think that I'm too old to be watching MTV.
- Justin Beiber takes the stage and Maddie appears out of nowhere. Coincidence? I don't think so. I wish I could tell you something else about his performance, but she has planted herself in front of the TV and I can't see a thing.
- Ke$ha may not irritate me so much if she had a real name.
- Usher knows how to work the crowd and the dance floor. And his abs (which are unfortunately covered up tonight). For the record, I think he and Chili from TLC should get back together.
- I recognized all the nominees for Best Male Video, which makes me feel a little less like Grandma Moses.
- Confession: I love the song Billionaire.
- As much as I enjoy Chelsea Handler, I will never let my child watch anything she does. (She was out of the room as soon as The Bieb exited Stage Right.)
- Justin Timberlake! Now there's someone I recognize without any help from Google.
- I think my favorite performer of the night may be the Mickey Mouse-esque DJ.
- I didn't understand all the lyrics, but Taylor Swift's (somewhat off key) performance seemed like a big 'ole middle finger directed somewhere in the vicinity of Kanye West's seat.
- Another Confession: I watch Jersey Shore. Religiously.
- Justin Beiber wins! Too bad Maddie is already in the bed. I wonder what his mother thinks about him listening to Chelsea Handler and all the other vulgarity.
- Cher is still rocking the black leather jacket and...not much else. You have to hand it to her though; not many 112 year olds would have the nerve to do it.
- You know what this show is missing? Pink. Swinging from the rafters.
- And the night ends with Kanye. I don't have much to say about it, other than the ballerinas did a beautiful job. And that I'm appalled that he wrote a song to apologize to Taylor Swift and littered it with the word d*****bags.
- Man, I'm glad this night is over.

If only Kanye was as good as so clearly thinks he is. Seriously? His song was AWFUL and he can't perform.
I only watched the beginning and end. I love Chelsea Handler, but thought she was horrible last night (pretty sure she really was high)... did she get better as the show went on?
I hate Justin Bieber. But you already knew that.
The rest of your assessments made me laugh out loud!
I totally failed at emailing you. I'll take my laptop to class tonight and do it there since I won't be listening to my professor.
Totally missed this thanks to a late soccer game.
Bug likes Beiber, too...I'll never understand it.
You make me laugh :)
Darn...how did i miss Justin Bieber. I actually have never heard him sing.
I thought Taylor looked sooo pretty. But, I agree her voice was off.
I am glad to be back at your blog :)
