Here are the performaces. -- (link) - Spawn Aug 26, 07:20 5 1
- Wow...Bruno did Gorilla. Interesting choicew. -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 07:28
- Ugh...Jennifer Hudson...why??? -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 07:22 3
  - I think she's great, but she was unnecessary in her performance. -- nm - pmb Aug 26, 07:25 2
    - I have never liked her. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalk board for me. -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 07:27
    - I was wondering if she was coming out. -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 07:27
[deleted] 1
- here too - and right now it is only about 70*F. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 07:24
I am surprised by the number of adults that watched the VMA's last night. - Krusty Aug 26, 07:05 55
- Bitching on Facebook? Say it isn't so! -- nm - Qale Aug 26, 07:25
- They are the Grammys with the possibility of something actually interesting happening -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 07:21 2
  - So completely meaningless with a 50% greater chance of someone falling off the stage. Got it. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:22 1
    - That's about right ) -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 07:27
- I watched Dave Grohl's 'Sound City' docu last night. -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 07:18 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - I enjoyed it. -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 07:19
- I might tivo a repeat. I can't get videos to play online. (I was watching luther last night. priorities, guys.) -- nm - amanda hk Aug 26, 07:16 2
  - Tivo would be a useful. There's lot of filler to ff through (Kevin Hart bombed, the awards are pointless, too many commercials) - ty97 Aug 26, 07:28
  - They aired it over and over. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:22
- First time I've watched in years. The production was the definition of chaos. WTF was that? - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 26, 07:09 1
  - I also wonder why they even have a VMA's if they don't show videos anymore? -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:17
- Performances are always good. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:08 29
  - I only saw 2 performances, Gaga and Timberlake. I really liked both of them. nm -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 07:13 2
    - Timberlake is just really impressive. I thought it was also very cool how he performed over just about every inch of the arena. I also thought Gaga - pmb Aug 26, 07:16 1
      - I know of several inches I wouldn't mind him performing on. -- nm - Qale Aug 26, 07:26
  - From whom? Do you know who any of those people are and do you listen to them? -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:10 25
    - JT, Thicke, Katy, Macklemore and Bruno Mars. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:12 24
      - You listen to those people/groups? Katy Perry is on when you're driving? :-) - Krusty Aug 26, 07:14 23
        
        You can't get into Bruno Mars? That dude is right behind Timberlake for me. - Jim Aug 26, 07:16 11
        
        I don't know his music at all. I think if I drove I'd listen to the radio and possibly like more popular music. - Krusty Aug 26, 07:19 10
        
        Macklemore had a great performance. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:20 9
        
        Pass. I like real hip hop. That Can't Hold Us song is pop. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:24
        
        It's one of the few rap songs I like. -- nm - pmb Aug 26, 07:21 3
        
        It's barely rap. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:23 2
        
        That's probably why I like it. -- nm - pmb Aug 26, 07:25 1
        
        :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:26
        
        Guess I'll have to look it up...what did he do? Same Love? -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 07:21 3
        
        Same Love is what he preformed last night, which was a nice choice. -- nm - Qale Aug 26, 07:28
        
        Thrift Shop, Ceiling Can't Hold Us - oblique Aug 26, 07:22 1
        
        duh, nevermind. You were referring to the VMAs -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 07:22
        
        Sadly, XM Hits One is on almost all the time in my car when the kids are with me - oblique Aug 26, 07:16 8
        
        yay!! -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 07:24 2
        
        It's quite surreal driving him to an all weekend travel soccer tournament while listening to showtunes the whole time - oblique Aug 26, 07:25 1
        
        Is he the one that was in the production of 'Godspell'? -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 07:27
        
        nice. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 07:23
        
        Dude! - Spawn Aug 26, 07:21 1
        
        I can't seem to get mine to appreciate the genius :) -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 07:22
        
        Haha. :-) You're raising you're own little Znufrii. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:20 1
        
        I agree with Spawn though, generally I like some of it. Imagine Dragons, Bruno, Macklemore, Fall Out Boy, stuff like that - oblique Aug 26, 07:21
        
        I own 2 or 3 of her songs, even! -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:16 1
        
        There are a lot of people I will watch perform, that I do not love their music. - Spawn Aug 26, 07:17
- I think a bunch watched for nsync reunion. -- nm - pmb Aug 26, 07:08 12
  - The 10 seconds of my life! - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 26, 07:10 1
    - Do we get to put in our own adjectives? - nubby Aug 26, 07:14
  - Which... when did it suddenly become cool to like *NSYNC? Even at the height of their fame, people considered them a guilty pleasure. -- nm - nubby Aug 26, 07:09 9
    - Dirty Pop! -- nm - Qale Aug 26, 07:29
    - The boy bands have made a huge comeback. NKOTB, 98 degrees, Backstreet Boys are successfully touring again. The Wanted and One Direction are doing - pmb Aug 26, 07:12 2
      - So many women on my FB freaked about seeing NKOTB on tour this summer. - Krusty Aug 26, 07:13 1
        
        My wife was one of them... -- nm - spamlet Aug 26, 07:18
    - When Justin became the biggest star in all the land. -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 07:11 4
      - "Hlaf the moonmen I have, I got with those guys over there." - Spawn Aug 26, 07:13 3
        
        Agreed. He's one of the few who grew up and just "got it." He was definitely on the tool-bag course when N*Sync was at their peak. - Jim Aug 26, 07:14 2
        
        Anyonethat doubts him should watch last night's performance. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:15 1
        
        Word. -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 07:17

Other VMA observations: Taylor Swift looked good and not annoying. But she still was annoying ol' Taylor Swift when she spoke. - ty97 Aug 26, 06:54 11
- I didn't notice. Did they even cut to Taylor or Selena at all during the show? -- nm - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 26, 07:01
- Not sure if you saw the preshow, but Selena speaks like a pro comparefd to Ariana Grande. That was difficult to watch. - MDH Aug 26, 07:00
- I don't know...saying that One Direction should shut the fuck up was pretty annoying. - Jim Aug 26, 06:56 8
  - she looked like she was saying it to someone behind her, so it may have been completely unrelated. who knows, that event is ridiculous anyway. -- nm - colin Aug 26, 07:20
  - I can't *stand* her. my amigo who has a daughter who's ten, is like, "she's great; there are much worse role models." yeah sure. - celine d. Aug 26, 07:11 5
    - Taylor Swift of 2 or 3 years ago was a gracious, pretty wholesome star who wrote songs that really spoke to teenage girls. But the constantly writing - pmb Aug 26, 07:15 3
      - Aside from all that...she's a mediocre singer and musician and her lyrics are juvenile, at best. - Jim Aug 26, 07:18 2
        
        She actually has a very good singing voice and if she made more mature choices with her songs she'd be impressive. I don't know if you've seen any of - pmb Aug 26, 07:24 1
        
        I lost track of the thread. I thought we were talking about Miley. Agreed on Taylor Swift, but for her younger audience, they were right at that - pmb Aug 26, 07:27
    - Just because you can think of someone worse, doesn't make her a good role model. -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 07:12
  - Maybe she was saying it to Selena? -- nm - nubby Aug 26, 07:05
Sitwap: 800 Bronies gather for My Little Pony convention in British Columbia....(link) - Walt_Disney Aug 26, 06:47 2

okay, i have no video at work and all the news stories about Miley last night are video - what did she do??? -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 06:34 23
- Giant... teddy bears... -- nm - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 26, 07:03 1
  - She also played the good girl to Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines performance. -- nm - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 26, 07:05
- This is also a perfect two-picture summary -- (link) - ty97 Aug 26, 06:47
- Nothing Madonna didn't do (better) before her. Attempted to be shocking and sexy. - ty97 Aug 26, 06:40 19
  - a) She's trying too hard to show she's grown up and b) it was over the top. She pretty much did everything but give him a happy ending. - pmb Aug 26, 07:06
  - The biggest thing for me is that Miley is not, IMO, sexy in the least. -- nm - Jim Aug 26, 06:48 11
    - I just watched it. I've seen worse. I agree that she's not sexy and you can't twerk if you don't have an ass. It's really the only requirement. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 06:59 4
      - People like MIley and Lohan and Bynes should really study Drew Barrymore's career - Jim Aug 26, 07:08 3
        
        My suggestion is always 'that child star needs Natalie Portman's parents'. Kudos to Drew for getting it together though. - Diva Aug 26, 07:15 2
        
        She could be...but what she learned (that these other girls need to learn) is that we don't really know about it. - Jim Aug 26, 07:20 1
        
        yeah - and beaver shots. -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 07:22

      - so...it's the VMAs? :) -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 06:50
  - This link has a brief description below the video -- (link) - ty97 Aug 26, 06:41 5
    - ah. thanks! -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 06:42 4
      - I actually think the creepiness factor of her and Robin Thicke was the worst part. -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 06:43 3
        
        Robin Thicke is creepy on his own. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 06:48 2
        
        My daughter showed me some twitter post about him that said "Robin Thicke looks like the somewhat wealthy neighbor down the street that keeps asking - pmb Aug 26, 07:04 1
        
        Ew! Funny! -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 07:16

That Timberlake boy can put on quite a show. I'd venture to say he's going to be very successful one day. -- nm - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 26, 00:05 4
- If he works hard and keeps his nose clean, he could be a nice second tier performer some day. Not a headliner, but good for collaborations. - Was Bar Was Aug 26, 06:09
- That Bieber kid could learn a thing or two from him. -- nm - GregW Aug 26, 05:53 1
