MTV VMA 2007

Last night I finally managed to watch the entire broadcast of the MTV VMA 2007, and I think it's amazing! Well, a lot of people may say that MTV is now full of black people and hip hop artists. Which is kinda true, but hey, the only constant thing in life is change, so.... I say embrace it instead of resisting it :P

So, let's start the gossip session
1. Britney Spears - well you all know what happened. She opened the show with her new song "Gimme More", but she was far from enthusiastic about it. I heard news that she was upset by some remarks before the show, but that's not an excuse for a professional, world-renowned performer! Also, she's really out of shape, which is understandable for a mother of 2, but she really should've thought of that before deciding to wear just bra and panties. The song itself is quite OK.... very Britney...

2. Chris Brown (with a surprise Rihanna appearance). Wow, this kid is really flexible. I mean, damn he can dance! His voice is just so-so, but his performances are amazing! And speaking of Rihanna.... she's everywhere! First she won "Monster single of the year" for "Umbrella" (ella, ella, ella....), then she performed with Chris Brown, and then another performance session with FallOut Boy, then go back to receive Video Of The Year award.

3. Kanye West - MTV actually took over the whole Palms Casino in Las Vegas for the show, and they have 5 separate rooms that partied simultaneously. The main stage, Kanye West party, Justin Timberlake (JT) & Timbaland party, FallOut Boy party, and Foo Fighters party. Kanye West rocks! Actually I'm not sure why I don't have any of his songs by now.... hmmm must put that in my reminder haha.

4. Linkin Park - Wow! Very very good..... btw they are coming for a concert in Singapore in November, but I don't think I'll be going. It'll be too crazy for me haha.

5. Alicia Keys - She looked amazing when she first appeared at the beginning of the show, but what's up with the crazy hairdo when she's performing? The new song is not great either.... and halfway through she switched to sing "Freedom" by George Michael..... for unknown reasons. (I mean, huh???)

6. Shia LeBouf - well he didn't perform (thank God). I just want to comment on his appearance. I didn't watch Transformer, so I can't comment on his acting skills, but.... everytime I see him I just don't see why people like him so much. Last night he appeared with a mustache, which is just ridiculous. And his comments are sooo lame. Plus the winner for the category he presented (Fergie - Female Artist of The Year) was not there, and his reaction was just..... unproffessional. I know that he's only 21 and inexperienced, but that's just bad. Or maybe I'm just judgmental. Whatever!

7. Beyonce - she also didn't perform but receive an award for "Earth-Shattering Collaboration" for her song with Shakira (Beautiful Liar). My God, she IS curvy (especially in that dress)!

8. Finale - Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, JT - The show closes with a combined performance from those 3. Each of them performed one song, then they sang 1 chorus of "Give It To Me". Now that's what I call world class act! Each of them has their own style and strength, and they're all good!

Overall.... very very entertaining. Well there are other performances that I didn't write here... there's just too many, and if I don't remember it the first time, then it's probably not worth mentioning :P
