MTV Video Music Awards

I know I am a little late on this one as the awards aired two nights ago, but they are still on my mind and certainly continue to be the talk of the entertainment industry. So much happened at the show, I don’t even know where to start… Kanye, Janet, Russell, Taylor², Jay-Z, ROB, Madonna, Kristen, etc!!!

OK, lets start with the Michael Jackson tribute. Did anyone else notice the professional dancers/choreographers (from So You Think You Can Dance) who joined Janet on stage when they danced to her and Micheal’s song Scream? I saw Chris Judd, Laurie Ann Gibson and Tyce Diorio. Their moves were so crisp, sharp and amazing that I couldn’t help but clap at the end of the performance. I thought the tribute was great and the whole crowd was on their feet remembering Michael, his music and his unforgettable dance moves.

Next was the ‘Best Female Video’ Award and you (should definitely) already know that Taylor Swift won.  And, while she was on stage giving her speech, Kanye West took the microphone out of her hand and started talking about how Beyonce had the best video ever. The crowd, the viewers, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner (who presented the award, while wearing an adorable Calvin Klein suit) were all completely stunned. Kanye gave the mic back, the crowd then booed and it looked like Taylor was saying something, but the program cut out to the next scene, so I couldn’t really tell what happened afterward. After the stint, anytime Kanye’s name was mentioned throughout the night when he was nominated for an award, the whole crowd booed… as they should have. It was great!

The next and BEST part of the evening was when Rob Pattinson (my future husband), Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner came out on stage to introduce the trailer for New Moon. Did anyone else notice that Rob was completely wasted? He looked totally hammered and out of it. Also, what did Kristen whisper into Taylor’s ear before she began speaking? And, if you couldn’t tell, it definitely seemed like Rob and Kristen were into one another by the way they kept locking eyes and leaning into each other…. UGH… and just to prove my theory, take a look at this picture below of the two of them. He is is pulling her tightly into his body and she is also leaning in. I wonder what a body language expert would have to say… oh wait, i don’t want to know. I am totally devastated like every other 13 year old in the world!!! Oh well, I guess I am not going to be Edward Cullen for Halloween anymore. I am definitely returning my Vampire Costume. LOL… ugh I can’t talk about it anymore.

Moving on to a lighter subject, the acts.  Other than the Michael tribute, I really enjoyed the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys collaboration, Beyonce’s routine (couldn’t stop dancing), as well as Taylor Swift’s performance.  I thought it was cute how Taylor sang throughout the subways of New York and ended at Radio City Music Hall. Very creative and different from MTV (thank God). I also really liked the song that Lady Gaga performed about the paparazzi, but she might be a little too weird for me.  Her outfits and her face and her choreography were really out there and she is kinda starting to bug me.

At the end of the night and one of the most touching moments was when Beyonce won the ‘Video of the Year’ award for Single Ladies and told the audience about how she remembered when she was 17 and won her first MTV Moonman. She then brought out Taylor Swift so that she could also have her ‘first’ moment. It was a very cute and touching little ending to a totally drama filled and fun night.
