7:18PM: i'm watching the pre-show right now...and nelly furtado is lit!

7:29PM: damn, common is lookin HOT.

7:49PM: damn damn, PHARRELL!!!!

7:59PM: oh britney. when are you going to sing, like you used to on star search? what's up with your lackluster performance? are you high again? or are you just going thru withdrawal? did you even practice for this performance? and why are you re-using moves you used a few years ago with that python? you totally look uncomfortable on those heels, maybe you should try dancing in flats. or better yet, just say no to drugs. what a hot mess...and i'm not talking about her physical features.

8:01PM: i absolutely despise sarah silverman. she's not funny and crass, and why the fuck are you mentioning britney's kids into your monologue? you have no class at all. get off the stage please.

8:20PM: JT's 1st win! woohoo! love how he served mtv 'i want to challenge mtv to play more videos!' damn, break me off o piece o that...

8:29PM: kanye and 50 face to face. i didn't realize 50 was that tall. i can't tell if these guys really hate each other, or if it's just a marketing stunt.

8:30PM: beyonce wins...but she can barely make it to the stage, it's so cramped! this production is way too big for the palms. mtv was crazy to host it here...

8:43PM: the 1st real performance of the night: chris brown and rhianna. their performance was HOT! they totally should have opened this show.

8:53PM: oh yes, break me off o piece o justin.

9:34PM: common is performing in 1 of the suites! but mtv only shows him for 30 seconds...DAMN YOU MTV!

9:43PM: jennifer garner and jaime foxx. jaime is messing up his lines and jen is trying to get him on track. when jen announces the winner she says, "gym class FALLOUT"??? i'm guessing she meant gym class heroes who are in the fallout boys suite...yet another example of how mtv is messing up this production. whoever is the producer is so getting fired this year...

9:58PM: YES! they just mentioned that JT will be on stage soon....WOOHOO!

10:03PM: JT gives the best performance of the night. how fitting that trainwreck brit opened and the star jt closed. aren't you sorry you cheated on him now, brit?!????


overall, this show was a hot mess with a mixture of screwed up performances, bad audio, bad cueing of the stars, obviously drunk presenters all in a room that is way too small for this kind of production. i understand mtv was trying to re-format the vmas with having different performances in suites, esp since that palms room was way too small to hold this type of event, but common...use your heads when planning this. isn't it obvious this is going to be a logistical nightmare?

anyways, the only things i liked about this show were chris brown/rhianna, JT, timbaland, and the few shots of pharrell and common. love them!
