MTV is painful to watch!     Reminds me of how bad of a state music is in right now...Axl please show up!!  At least there are lots of underdressed chicks...that's a plus.   

[zakas80]

awesome performance from beyonce

[gun]

awesome performance from beyonce

I have to agree there...and I loved the thigh highs! 

[MrBrOwNsToNeR]

so ridiculous performance from beyonce 

[SkiX]

Why can't any guy there sing?

[DunkinDave]

Why can't any guy there sing?

If you've ever been to a rap concert, it's just the rappers shouting the lyrics along to their studio tracks.

It's terrible.

[gun]

Ok this is why I hate MTV now...this shit that calls itself "KING". ?How many times can someone restir this cesspool of lame crap before the American youth realizes it is worthless??

Yeah me too man.  These guys could come out and take a dump on stage and still win an award.  WTF happened to music!?

**Sidenote: When I said I liked Beyonce's performance I was strictly talking performance...not a reflection of my musical taste.

Well here's to hoping rock gets back on top in the next few years

[mega_music]

WOW its quite in here (crickets chirping)
So how has the show been, performance wise? How was Christina Aguileras new song?

Right, I started watching like 10 mins ago, so I have no clue I assume it was bad

[christina_rose]

she didn't perform yet. I don't believe she did anyway.

I didn't catch the beginning but so far it has really been crap.  These performances have blown.  Shakira and Beyonce's were done well but not my type of music.  Christina I haven't seen yet but she is definitely talented (and hot), not so much my taste for music but at least she can sing.   

[XpyroX]

I totally forgot this was on, until a friend told me.  If I hear that stupid Panic! song one more time, I will shoot the TV.  Hopefully they don't play it before Axl's on.

Oh hey, I like A7X.  Good thing they won, or I would've shot the TV

[SkiX]

A7X won something... I like 'em
Oh god they are doing some werid Fallout Boy stalker-esque video... ugh' who would want to follow them

[bazgnr]

Anyone else completely underwhelmed by the My Chemical Romance performance?  The way they were hyping it was ridiculous, in my opinion...

[warrocks]

who was the band that open for guns won? I have no clue 

[SkiX]

who was the band that open for guns won? I have no clue?

Avenge Sevenfold... omg how can you not know them?!

[DunkinDave]

who was the band that open for guns won? I have no clue?

Avenge Sevenfold... omg how can you not know them?!

They're a generic-sounding rock band just like every other band that's been showcased tonight?

[warrocks]

Avenge Sevenfold... omg how can you not know them?!

no way!!!  --------------- I've heard one song and that's it. I don't give two cents.

 I'm not watching the show by the way. I'm here just waiting for ..guess who? lol

[gun]

Not to give anybody shit but I haven't heard anything impressive. ?These bands wouldn't be worthy to be an opening act for a "real" band. ? Peace...just my opinion.

[agropolus]

can somebody please give me a link where I can watch it? I'm watching MTV Brazil but they have a delay over the broadcast in the USA (about 10 or 15 minutes late)

[gnr1967]

Al Gore is on MTV.  Interesting to see him on this show.   

[comaknight]

John Norris seems to have borrowed his wig from the local off-Broadway production of Oliver Twist.

[-Jack-]

Did anyone see the look on Christina A's face when she lost out to Kelly Clarkson? Wow. What a jealous bitch!

I hate her music video too. What a poser.. she deserved to lose. (Not that I like any of the choices.. but at least Christina didn't win. Haha.)

[dodger girl]

and her songs are always written by Linda Perry.. at least the song she sang today "Hurt" is

anyway, I liked when The Raconteurs sang "Internet killed the video star" hahaha

and Justin Timberlake being the puppy of Jack black lol!!

[Booker Floyd]

Its easy to focus on the negative, so Ill go with the positive (although I didnt see all of it, or even half):

The Killers were terrific.

Jack White rules, and playing with Lou Reed certainly doesnt hurt.  The house band gimmick was odd, but pretty cool. 

Justin Timberlakes performance was pretty good.  Hes aping Michael Jackson as hard as ever, but he at least does a decent job with it.

Al Gore was a pleasent surprise.  His recent popularity has been remarkable and hes acheived a strange celebrity status that I havent seen with any other politician.  If hes truly interested in another run, hes in a great position to launch one.

Jack Black did a good job.  I should be tired of his schtick by now, but I cant help but enjoy him.

Havent seen OK Go yet, but Im assuming they did a solid job as well.

I wasn't a big fan of most of the VMAs (not that I was expected it to be good).  Al Gore was a pleasant surprise however.  I think he's trying to reach a younger audience.  The Killers were okay - nothing memorable, but better than the rest.  I also liked seeing that guy from ZZ Top. 

[D]

AFI are the biggest bunch of fags Ive ever seen.

They beat the Red Hot Chili peppers?

Give me a fuckin break.

Sad day for music.

this shit sucked.

I was almost ashamed to see Axl be apart of this shit.

[mornintrain]

Kanye got shafted last night.

[Eric]

This was horrible-I'm 34-is this stuff entertaining for kids? The 90's this show was great-even 80's-it was at least watchable-2002 was the last show I've seen for obvious reasons-it's a rap award show now-unwatchable-it's sad to see what MTV has become-where are all the rock bands for the future? How did the Chili Peppers video not win? Pink was funny-all drunk

its entertaining for a majority.

but theres a minority like myself. who want rock n rollllll

[Alan]

so generic that no other band on the mtv list sounded like them, seriously get a fucking clue, you may hate them, their music and their image but that doesn't make the a generic band.

look around music today how many of the new bands have extended guitar solos and song structures that have some variation to them. i mean someone who taped an entire ozzfest show thought burn it down was 3 seperate songs.

if avenged sevenfold are generic then every other band on the face of the fucking planet would be.

[Malcolm]

I watched most of the show and I thaught Shakira was very good,Killers were ok...rest sucked

[Megaguns]

Im gonna watch it simply for the perve factor. luv the hot chicks. Volume down with some gnr playing in the background.

When is it on free to air tv in australia?

[Alina]

When I watched the VMA , I had a feelings that I want smash the TV .?
Axl was light in the end of the dark tunnel !?

[bazgnr]

You have to admit that - like the song or not - the Ok Go / treadmill performance was a lot of fun to watch...

[Captain P?l]

i didnt see it all.. but the part i saw was when the band that won the ringtone of the year award did his speach..

MAN, you won the ringtone of the year! not the best band!!! long speach indeed...

[metallex78]

I thougt that was quite odd too.

What a sh*tty state music is in these days if that show is anything to go by - really bad rap/hip hop and emo crap. What's with all the crappy emo fags haircuts? They look as bad as Duran Duran did back in the 80's. Is that what's supposed to pass as rock these days?

[-Jack-]

I disagree... I thought it was pretty bad.. they didn't even really "preform" in my opinion.

But each to his own!

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I liked the Raconteurs, & adding Billy Gibbons in there was great. Liked the Killers also ( what's up with those bad moustaches?) Other than that  & the appearance of the great one I felt the rest of the show was unwatchable.
