jlh | Better than last year but really, is that saying much? (Reply)

So I was watching the VMA's on a big tivo time delay because I hate ads, but I ff'd through so much shit that I ended up watching it live.

Someone needs to tell John Norris that he is too old to try to look like the 5th member of Jordan Catelano's band. Wearing eyeliner once your eyes have done that post-40 sinking into your head thing is not a good look.
I want to be at the Foo Fighter room party.
Britney was really not good. I don't know how many Ativans she had to take to get herself up on that stage, but she had that deer-caught-in-the-headlights look. She had a bad wig (and we all know it's a wig, so be like Cher and make it a good one), a sparkly bikini that her stomach wasn't ready for (talk about a bad side angle), and boots she didn't look comfortable in. She wasn't singing but she didn't really dance either—there was a great shot of 50 Cent in the crowd clearly watching one of the dancers on the poles. She just tottled around on her boots and had the male dancers lift her up.
Sarah Silverman was awesome, though.
I know that 50 Cent and Kanye were supposed to be all tough but I thought they just looked adorable, especially when Kanye went up on his tip toes to be 50 Cent's height.
I don't really understand that dress Beyonce was wearing. She needs to thank the lord for tape, though, as that thing was barely covering her breasts.
Chris Brown was beyond amazing. That MJ quote? I adore him as a performer. I just wish his songs were more interesting.
Who is this Kelly Sweet person and why does she think it's interesting to sing "Dream On" sounding like Enya?
JT's constant calls for MTV to play videos rules me. Especially when he's saying it after the girls from the Hills have just given him an award.
I still want to be at the Foo Fighter's party.
Whose bad idea is that Tila Tequila clusterfuck of a dating show? Those lesbians are going to kick those straight boys' asses. Please.
JT and 50 Cent are my new favorite thing.
What the hell, Tommy, with the cat calling your ex? "Tommy, stop it!" That was KLASSY.
Anyone else think that song in the Pepsi ad—the one where the logo is a giant beach ball and the world is an outdoor concert bouncing it around—sounded like "Bohemian Like You" by the Dandy Warhols?
Are we glad Linkin Park is back? I can't decide. I mean, they have like, taken notice of what's happened in music since they were around, but I was never into them in the first place, so.
You know, I really love that Fall Out Boy isn't all about the lead singer, because then I get to sit here and think he's adorable in his little hats.
What I want in a room party is to see the bed behind the singer. Also, Rhianna + FOB = awesomeness.
I love that Alicia Keys is hot liek woah AND fully clothed. Also OMG that "Freedom" cover was fantastic!
Did Tommy and Kid really get into a fight?
Every day really IS Dre Day.
How great was the whole Timbaland thing at the end? How great is it that Nelly Furtado and JT are all, sure, I'll do a medley for Tim!
