2010 VMA's

9:00 - am i the only one who isnt on the eminem train? i get that he's overcome a lot and blah, blah, blah... i'm just not a fan. and GREAT! there's rihanna. one of the worst live singers i've ever heard (besides taylor swift). i'm ready for the opening to be over.

9:06 - hahaha. lindsay and chelsea interaction will always be great. the cheesecake factory line was great. and chelsea as gaga is great, too. the dove trick obviously didnt go off as planned.

9:11 - i know chelsea's thing is making fun of celebs, but sometimes i just find her obnoxious. i know a lot of my friends (evan, jessi, meagan) will be mad at me for saying that, but i just dont think she's that funny. sorry... =(

9:14 - best female video: kesha's video wasnt that good, so i hope she doesnt win. i cant stand taylor swift so i hope she doesnt win. i'm pulling for gaga because her videos are always so creative. it goes to gaga! woo! and she's wearing the shoes! the alexander mcqueen alien heels!

(side note: the dj's disco mickey mouse mask is awesome)

9:24 - jackass guys on stage. knoxville is hot. i can't help it. HAHAHA the giant antiquing hand was fantastic. ok best rock video.... i want florence and the machine to win i think, or paramore. it goes to....... 30 seconds to mars. that's cool i guess. i downloaded that video because it was free on itunes one week. it's pretty cool, actually.

9:28 - biebs is performing. it cracks me up how little he is. pretty sure he's lip synching. probably just wants to make a good impression since this is his first vma performance. i get it. focusing on the dancing and performance aspect rather than the singing. we all know boy can belt it out. i'm guessing the reason for having the pre-school dancers is to make justin look normal sized. pretty sure he's just trying to look cool with his drum playing cuz it's obvious that he's not that great. he just bangs around on them. oh well. it's over. decent job, biebs.

9:38 - usher. of course they have to put him and bieber next to each other since they're bff's. i dont know about anyone else, but i'm ready for timberlake to get off his acting high and put out another album. i'll take JT over "ursher" any day.

9:44 - i LOVE katy perry's dress. LOVE IT. idk that other chick. she looks like when kelly from the office dressed up as the chick from the fifth element. anyway.... eminem left already. typical.

9:52 - i must say i prefer chelsea handler in these little skits rather than her live stuff in front of the camera. the skits have been pretty funny.

9:53 - YES! florence and the machine! it's funny that this album came out over a year ago, but this song is just getting big cuz of the "eat, pray, love" trailer. either way, at least her music's out. her voice is outstanding.

9:57 - what an odd segue from florence to a commercial. travie mccoy....?? ok and now n.e.r.d. and ciara just appeared. hmm.... unfortunate timing, cuts, or just awkward in general?? pharrell is diggin on ciara hard. i mean, i get it. just sayin.

10:04 - i love that kesha and katy perry keep getting announced next to each other cuz it just shows how similar their songs are. i'm guessing gaga will win. and it goes to............ gaga. i get the fashion is important, but maybe the outrageous dress could get some practical shoes so it doesnt take an army to get her onstage. ok she just read my mind and apologized for being slow moving. apology accepted.

10:08 - ugh. taylor swift. not. a. fan. i really hope she's investing in voice lessons cuz i just think her voice is so weak and untrustworthy. i am not a fan of country music, and i dont listen to her music unless forced, but i think she's a better songwriter than a performer. i'll just have to wait this out... blah.

10:21 - is it sad that i'm more excited about justin timberlake presenting drake than i'd ever EVER be about drake performing? and by the introduction, it seems that JT missed being in front of a live audience. new album, please, JT.

10:29 - umm, evan rachel wood and chris evans making out all over some perfume? jeeze...

10:33 - i like chelsea's shoes.

10:35 - best hip hop video. i guess i'll vote for jay-z just cuz i think he could have someone kill me if he wanted to. eminem won. he's not there.

side note: i'd like to let everyone reading this (all 3 of you) that i've never watched an episode of jersey shore. i'm very proud of this.

10:42 - b.o.b. w/ hayley williams but i'm more excited about paramore. that's her element. i hope they pick it up with something fast but old school. maybe "pressure" or somethin else from the first album...?? no. that's ok. she's still awesome.

10:54 - biebs wins best new artist. BFD.

10:55 - emma stone!! yay! linkin park? hmm, didnt see that one coming. i'm being taken back to my sophomore year of high school.

11:04 - cher!! in "THE" outfit. lady gaga wins video of the year!!! yay for her! nice little impromptu song except my step dad came in to talk to me and i missed it. but he saw enough to say, "is that lady gaga? i dont see what the big deal is.... i think she's a freak." typical. i'm so glad the coming generations are increasingly more open minded.

and now.... seeing as how i could care less about kanye west, not because of the taylor swift thing, solely because i'm not big into rap music. so i'll probably end the blogging here. although i am curious to see the crowd's reaction after he's done. perhaps i'll stick around.

ppl applauded and started chanting "kanye" so i guess he's back. about time. taylor swift backlash is in full effect.
