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 ali_wildgoose and I 45 minutes to speed through the show.

And Russell Brand was great.

I didn't think she was that dour. She had a whole bit where she was like, playing RockBand backstage and Russell was all, come do your introduction! Unless they meant her reactions to his jokes. I got the sense no one was laughing, as when Jamie Foxx went out to present the first award he was all, "Wake up wake up!"
