2008 VMAs

What a difference a year makes, eh Brit Brit? Also, is it really a step up for Pete Wentz to basically be like, a VJ?

Oh Russell Brand and your poor misguided attempts to break America. Well, I thought it was hilarious, and I wish I could send you a text to tell you so.

Other than Xtina, I didn't see any amazing performances. Paramore sounded like their record, and the Jonas Bros are annoying, and Pink's song was lame though the coat was cute, and Rhianna's song went on way too long though the dancing was good (choreographed by Wade Robson?), and I didn't even watch Lil Wayne or Kanye because please, but LL Cool J doing Going Back to Cali was pretty awesome. Hence, it took [livejournal.com profile] ali_wildgoose and I 45 minutes to speed through the show.

And Russell Brand was great.

I thought Russell was hilarious as well, but you could tell the audience didn't quite know what to do with him.

They were SO not laughing. But I think they just didn't expect him to talk about the things he talked about.
