For whatever reason, I went to bed earlier last night than I had in previous nights, and woke up completely exhausted and knackered. MTV is sooooo draining.

Performances of the evening: 'NSync (if only for the set), Britney (because I think her song is BANGIN'), Staind (although who knew what song that was? I didn't).
Big oops to: J-Lo & Ja Rule (someone tell her she CAN'T SING), Missy Elliot (Why even bother doing a medly with "One Minute Man" if you aren't going to do your bit? And why didn't they do the mix with Jay- Z? Bastards), Mudvayne (I bet their mothers are wishing they'd breastfed NOW), Sheryl Crow (sweetie, don't speak)
There is something deeply wrong with me as my most-anticipated movie after "Lord Of The Rings" is the Chris Kattan movie.

Worst moments of the night for me, btw: Andy Dick, that "interpretive dance" that was only funny for the bizarre split second that Chris Kattan appeared to be trying to snog what's her face, the Mariah commercial.

Linkin Park's performance killed the spark of goodwil I was cultivating for them. If they turned down their guitars JUST A HAIR, they'd be brilliant.
The Mariah commercial had me ROTFL, mostly because I will never forget how much of her ass is hanging out in the video. It's kind of amazing. Britney lip-synching disappointed me, but one thing that got me riled was the morning radio show I listen to making fun of 'NSync for lip-synching. YOU GIGANTIC TOOLS, ANYONE WITH A BRAIN COULD HEAR THEM GASPING FOR BREATH AND ABBREVIATING PHRASES. Fair enough if you don't like the music, but don't make up reasons to hate. Of course, they liked Britney because she had the puppies on prominent display.
Note to Dave Popshots: "hit me" is slang for "call me". "Baby One More Time" doesn't actually have anything to do with S&M relationship games outside of a pun, which actually makes the songwriting even more brilliant in my mind.
oh, actually, the best moment of the show was when jaime foxx got the crowd all hyped for jay-z, only to have the spinning platform display MOBY! (with gwen and eve.) what's worse, for seemingly an eternity, they were doing a plug for m2! SO MUCH BETTER THAN JAY-Z. the u2 fuck- up was pretty good too.

Observations: 1) Celebrities can not do comedy skits. Worst example being Mandy Moore, Jess Simpson and Dream. 2) Staind are the most boring band on planet earth. A hybrid of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. At least Linkin Park make anger and misery sound like fun. 3) P Diddy is an alright bloke. 4) Jay-Z is cool, because he went out and sang for the fans. 5) N'Sync stole the show, though the MJ bit was extremely bad, why did the 'king of pop' have to ruin everything, with a bit of lameo dancing? 6) The presenter was bad. 7) Yay for the Ramones. I enjoyed the show, though it was very creaky with far too many breaks, but knowing MTV they will edit into a sassy hour long complilation.
I must read Dave and Ally's blogs.

Either Fred was rippin' off my pithy observations (cf. Mary J. Blige), or we're on the same freaky-deaky wavelength. But, then, were we on the same wave-length, he'd realize the brilliance of "H to the Izzo." Not to belabor the point, of course, but damn, Fred.
Both Fred Durst and P. Diddy make crap videos w/ gratuitous guest appearances, too. I think Fred (Durst, that is) just wants to be a playa. (Dear God, Durst must've been on E last night, giving a shout- out to his BABY, and talking about peace & love...) (Fuckin' hippies...)
Fred Durst frightens me still with his camoflauge act. WHERE'S YOUR RED HAT?
and my comments on "h to the izzo" weren't meant to be taken as a criticism. it was just amusing to hear a group of THOUSANDS (maybe hundred, i dunno) keeping up with lines "fanizzle my schnizzle" or whatever the fuck it is (or at least trying to.) as far as ease of use goes, it's not exactly, "because i got high."
"to my son, dallas, wherever you are..." surely everyone knows about this kid of his, the product of one of his layovers in...well, guess.
Isn't it "fo schizzle my dizzle"? I ask because that particular phrase has been stuck in my head ever since last night, and I'd like to know what it actually is so I can brag to my non-pop-culture- freaky friends about it.
