MTV Video Music Awards 2008 – 25th anniversary?
Thank you so much. Thank you for all the love. I’m here tonight to celebrate a very important birthday, the 25th anniversary of the VMAs. This is the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and it starts right now. – Britney Spears, opening the show.
Sunday night’s show was mostly a joke. A political-musical joke.Yes, Britney Spears looked amazing, yes, there were many performing spots, but the show itself was really a big joke.
Russell Brand used his speech to convince people that Barack Obama is the right next American President, suggesting that “the retarded cowboy” (George W. Bush) was just a big mistake.
He also referred to the McCain-Palin pregnancy scandal, saying that republicans are the safest way to avoid a pregnancy. “Wear a condom or become a republican”, said Russell.
Image credit: The DailyMail.co.ukI still don’t see the connection between music and politics, but hey, it’s probably because there is no connection. But in America, everything is possible!
Russell also “joked” about the purity rings worn by the Jonas Brothers, and Jordin Sparks defended the boys saying “no everybody wants to be a slut”. I have to agree with her. America has enough problems with teenage mothers. That doesn’t mean every teenage should do what Jamie Lynn Spears did.
Anyway, I liked Rhianna’s performance, Disturbia. Too bad she sang too little, but she compensated that with her dancing skills.
The Jonas Brothers were the best, I loved their performance.
Britney Spears had won 3 awards: Best Female Video, Video of the Year, Best Pop Video all for Piece of Me. I personally don’t think she deserved them but hey, they needed a star and all they got was Britney Spears. It’s ok I guess, at least she’s not a train wreck anymore, the way she used to be just a year ago.
Pink performed “So what” outside the parking lot, her performance was incredible. Fire, stunts, explosions and rock – she had it all.
Mommy, Christina Aguilera performed a techno mix of her biggest his, Genie in a Bottle. This way she promoted her upcoming greatest hits album.
Among winners, we have:
Chris Brown – With You – Best Male Video
Lil Wayne – Lollipop – Best Hip Hop Video
Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day – Best Rock Video
VMA’s were BRUTAL last night. worst i have seen. Only shining moment was Rhianna performing.
