Everyone that knows me well knows when I am low on money. I stop going to Barnes & Noble on a daily basis, stop visiting the most amazing thrift store ever a.k.a. Boomerangs in JP (or “02130 shout out to H-Block” as I like to call it), and when people call my cell phone I become outraged. Read: HOW DARE YOU TRY TO SEDUCE ME INTO USING MY PREPAID CELL PHONE MINUTES? The ‘Everyone I Know’ refers to the perhaps 5 people I speak to on a regular basis which includes you, yes you reading this blog. Seeing as only 4 people have the web address it looks like I need to send someone an email come tomorrow morning.
But when the MTV Video Music Awards, broadcast to millions of impressionable unemployed 22 year olds, runs low on money the whole damn world can tell. What the F in the slingback, back-alley-performing, Jonas Brothers promise ring, who the wild wilderbeast is Russell Brand having ass s*it was that last night?!?! Someone answer me! That was the most low budget production I’ve ever seen. Russey Simmons from “Run’s House” does a better job entertaining me with strange noises and his perpetually ashy lips. Quick comments:
- Britney you look good girl, but the drugs have taken their toll. Notice they were playing your very first hit “…Baby One More Time” (“Hit Me”/”Domestic Violence 101 Anthem for High Schoolers” during your opening. We’ll never have old Britney back, I was more pleased with seeing your C-Section in inappropriate pictures on TMZ. Now sit down.
- Paris. I don’t believe you actually do anything with Benji Madden in a bedroom besides pick out his clothes.
- Rihanna, you are not a good performer. You are a pop creation, and my insatiable appetite for catchy songs is the only reason why I support you on iTunes. And yes, you did swagger jack Fefe Dobson.
- Jordin Sparks, shut the hell up. You and Jennifer Hudson annoy me for different reasons of course. Well, no actually its for the same reason. I hate you both. If I ever saw you in the mean streets of Boston I would kick both of you in the knees and run. See you at Faneuil Hall bitches!
Without big names stars coming out (read: yes Beyaki we all miss you), MTV seems like it is digging at the bottom of the barrel for ‘named celebrities’ to make appearances. Who the heck invited Elise Neal? And I’ll be damned if LL Cool J and Katie ‘Lipstick Lezzy’ Perry were not performing in a dark corner during the commercial intermissions!! And WHY Sweet & Sauteed Jesus was the auditorium the size of the one at my middle school? MTV, you need more people. There are too many youtube videos up of select performances, so I’m going to hit you handful of folks with an old school video, one that I thoroughly believes is a true reflection of real music and entertainment.
Give it up for 3T featuring Michael Jackson circa ’95
