oh nev mind i havent heard the new one
i was thinking of soldier

lol

"we want to show this incredible new technolgoy that racks all the tweets having to do with the VMAs"

lol minaj is doing the song with william

bieber is swagged out tonight

swagswag -- gonna go grab snacks @ the store now brb

i thought his personality would be way more in line with his music and that one youtube where he walks into the door.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

will they have subtitles?

beib's swag coach is earning his pay

will i am dude. what the fuck

uh is will in blackface??

god that song licks the biggest nuts

the saltiest

Minaj looks like a Jetson and Will I Am looks like he is in blackface or his hair is photoshopped in.

he looked like a gay judge dred

what the fuck do the cowboys start 9 linebackers?

lol that's gonna happen a few more times

I'm not even sure what channel MTV is

there we go

thank god

lol

kanye is too much

kanye is playing for the cowboys?

McNab and the Skins are up 3

that video was totally worth the budget, kanye

no salary cap

lol

maybe they'll have Kanye perform w/ Taylor

this is the logical climax to the Week The World Gave The News To Pastor Terry Jones. i mean the twitter jockey is just sublime.

I hear Sleigh Bells

Gaga looking as normal as i've ever seen here.

"it looks great"

lolll @ this whole thing

i mean, that was cool by gaga for blasting DADT, but just... sway... i feel bad for him

"cool. great. thanks for serving you guys. and everyone else. enjoy ke$ha and eminem."

cheers piscesx

i really loved that taylor's song was all

haha yeah taylor swift got murked, peace out

Gaga beats swift/kanye for me for realizing there are more people on the planet than Kanye West

her "we were born that way!" entertaining jane lynch made up for her "THANK U GAYS FOR IMITATING ME" annoying Ellen

deal with it

how many times can you apply that meme to this thread, let's make it a contest

anyway Taylor's song was more "you eated my cookie but it's OK because you're still kind of a kitten yourself, bless your heart you crazy diamond"

hey shiply guess what

http://knowyourmeme.com/i/000/052/812/original/Deal_with_it_dog_gif.gif?1275684729

the opening video was a really unnecessary limitation of context, but I'm all for Taylor showing sympathy for older kids as well as younger kids

Kanye talking into a vacuum cleaner about how its his privilege to be an asshole was more engaging though

thought it was overkill for them to BOTH play new songs about it, would've been okay if it was just one. i wonder if they heard each other's songs at all in advance.

i don't know if Kanye's was ABOUT IT, but certainly OF it

can you even be "you eated my cookie" while being that patronising? i haven't seen the kanye song but that's not the vibe i'm getting at all

I want Taylor to write a song about how a high school principal has feelings too

I know you think he's after you
But do you really believe he wants to be here toooooo

there was not enough katy perry.

yeah i think since she was one of the big performers at the movie awards in June they didn't want to have her perform on this one, but a "Teenage Dream" perf woulda been good

it was so weird having basically the biggest pop star of the moment relegated to presenting an award for 30 seconds. i don't even remember what nicki minaj said at all, which says A LOT about katy

Earlier in the night, the Best Rock Video award went to the diffuse, dull “Kings and Queens,” by 30 Seconds to Mars. If Mr. West had been planning to jump out of his seat at the announcement of one of this night’s winners, that would have been the one, and yet not a peep was heard from him from Caramanica's NY Times piece

Yes

But maybe picking on dull rock at the VMAs is too easy

"Kings And Queens" is a beautiful video, tbh. Its Donnie Darko/Warriors/BatForLashed concept is def hella played out, but the art direction and cinematography are gorgeous.

i don't know what the video has to do w/ any of those things except i guess Warriors, but yeah, it is a good video (and a good song imo). is Caramanica a butthurt Muse fan?

I was surprised how humble and polite Jared Leto was after seeing his on-stage shtick in their Closer To Edge video

Closer To The Edge, I mean.

It's the poll that had to be made:

Best/Favorite Performance on the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards POLL

oh god, NO, if that would mean we'd have to hear jared leto sing a touching song about it next year.

i wasn't gonna be all pedantic about that line because it's just a lame & obvious joke at the end of the article, but since it's been re-posted & otm'd twice now i'll just point out that a. kanye & jared leto are bros and b. if you think that kanye would ever strike down a self-involved super-pretentious musician who made a hilariously overwrought and pretentious music video, then i'm not sure you really know who kanye west is

I'm not sure any of us know who Kanye West really is

he's a misogynist riddle tweeted by a megalomaniac enigma and smothered in charming autotune

It’s okay, life is a tightrope
32 and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You’re still an innocent
Time turns flames to embers
You’ll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too...

funny, i heard that as "ambers," not embers, and assumed she was dropping in one more kanye reference just to be cute and clever.

on paper, that song reads awful, like some bad collegiate singer-songwriter crap, but i thought the actual performance was moving.

i also liked how kanye's response, in addition to being, "you think i'm a douchebag? well, yeah, i AM a douchebag, so what?," was also, "you think you know how to sing off-key? well, get a load of this."
