i have never missed a vma's...until now. :-(

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

jess! i think paul wall just performed!

and omg beavis and butt-head are going to be on omg

― maura (maura), Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:38 (twenty years ago)

I think we can all predict how this is going to go. "Wacky" celebrity pairings, lame jokes, blah performances. I'm going to watch the preshow to see if everyone's all waterlogged though. Miami during hurricane season was sure a good pick!

― Candicissima (candicissima), Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

what happened to gideon yago's voice!

― maura (maura), Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

hahaha, yeah, pretty much. i do want to see what r kelly does.

― maura (maura), Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

SOMEONE HAS TO GIVE ME A PLAY BY PLAY

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

dude, there is no way that fergie and i are the same age. she looks thisclose to retiring to boca.

― maura (maura), Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

she's our generation's charo

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

True that. She needs to lay off the tanning beds/sun. Jessica Simpson is right behind her though. Sunblock is your friend, ladies! You can't be fresh and brown like me!

― Candicissima (candicissima), Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:50 (twenty years ago)

it could be a bottle tan, you know

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:50 (twenty years ago)

Ricky Martin with Fat Joe and Amerie? Oh. No.

John Norris apparently gotten bitten by a shark and thrown up on before going on air.

And I read enough tabloid gossip online (yeah, let's not debate reliability) to know that both of those chicks are hardcore tanning bed aficionado.

― Candicissima (candicissima), Sunday, 28 August 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

ADDICTED TO TANNING

i have to leave work so i am home in time for the big show

ps ricky martin is the new george michael

― maura (maura), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:04 (twenty years ago)

I'm home so I'll probably do some play-by-play. I mentioned in the "Trapped In The Closet" thread that R. is supposed to debut a new chapter on the VMA's, which is reason enough for me to stay tuned in.

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:05 (twenty years ago)

Last year's VMA thread was fairly classic.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:05 (twenty years ago)

The thread might have been the only thing enjoyable about watching the show.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:06 (twenty years ago)

:-O

xxpost

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

I think Rihanna is lip syncing a little but her ass is talking for real.

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm kind of uncomfortable with Ashlee being blonde again.

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:13 (twenty years ago)

Is that Beyonce doing the background vocals on that song? And one of the dancers looked like Kelly Rowland (which I know just isn't true).

― Candicissima (candicissima), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:14 (twenty years ago)

riannah's performance is pretty... amateur... like a club med show...
is it sure that kels shows up ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

what the hell is john norris wearing?

― nervous (cochere), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:16 (twenty years ago)

is john norris the ridiculous guy in pink with sunglasses ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:16 (twenty years ago)

shit, you guys weren't kidding about Norris. a bedazzled purple tanktop! (xpost!)

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

KELS !!!

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

Did you see the look on that girl's face when he tried to shake her hand? "Nuh uh, man!" The crowd was definitely keeping their distance.

― Candicissima (candicissima), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:19 (twenty years ago)

where? all I see is Sway in military garb talking to Lil Kim. (xp)

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

ashlee is blonde and hilary duff is black...wtf is going on?!

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

well, not black black

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:21 (twenty years ago)

wtf indeed, did Duff kill the whiteness inside!? (xp)

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:22 (twenty years ago)

haha god i really should be packing

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:22 (twenty years ago)

where? all I see is Sway in military garb talking to Lil Kim. (xp)

It was the cut after SuChin finished talking to the Hilton sisters and Scott Storch. That was like pimp slap row.

― Candicissima (candicissima), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

i can't wait to see his performance... one of the only reason why i may not go to bed right now (it's 1.30 am over here...). (x post)

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

pardon me, Tha Duffsta (xp) (haha i'm packing too! the VMAs will keep me from filling boxes for at least a couple hours)

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

i own too much crap!

i feel so divorced from american culture right now

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

i would have thought kels arrival would have been a hight profil all bling one like snoop and all instead of the "let's sneak in anonimously" he did...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

the way they have people driving right onto the red carpet is actually even more contrived than last year's pre-show w/ people arriving by boat.

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

Is that Gwen Stefani or Hatchetface from Cry-Baby?

― Candicissima (candicissima), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

not all people are as warmhearted as we are to potential pedophiles

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

this year they do both : boat + car... next year what ? helicopter ? skateboard ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

fools...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

Vacuum tube.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

Is that what Ashlee always sounded like? She's got some bizarro Cyndi Lauper thing going on...

xpost MTA Bus!

― Candicissima (candicissima), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

that john norris guy actually hurts my eyes...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

ashlee's lack of a nose job just feels so willful at this point

― strng hlkngtn, Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

I've actually got this on mute while listening to the radio, so I just kind of keep glancing back at the screen with every new arrival, asking myself "what's the likelihood of this person saying something ridiculous I should turn the volume up for?"

(xp yes ashlee's shnoz is owen wilson-level courageous)

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 28 August 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

hi Ned !

i think the amount of water being splashed on her was just the same as dunking one's head in a pool.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:26 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I just decided that this was not worse than 2001's VMA's. It was likely among the 5 worst MTV awards shows, however.

― billstevejim (billstevejim), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:28 (twenty years ago)

Last year's show was 1000X worse.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, that last bit might've come out sounding snotty, which was not my intent. I'm a guy! I don't know anything about make-up!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

"Jerry" is totally my new hero.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

Billy Joe Armstrong to thread.

― PeopleFunnyBoy (PeopleFunnyBoy), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:33 (twenty years ago)

And I'm not a punk, either!

-- billstevejim (tummlerandsolomo...), August 29th, 2005.

if you're counting the MTV Movie Awards here you're totally wrong.

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

Wait a minute, who hosted the 2001 VMA's again?

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:50 (twenty years ago)

The Wayans Bros, who make up 3.9% of America's black population.

― Cunga (Cunga), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:57 (twenty years ago)

HAHAHA I just shit a brick Cunga!!!

― joe schmoe (joeschmoe), Monday, 29 August 2005 02:58 (twenty years ago)

Wayans Bros were 2000.

Jamie Foxx was 2001, also the year "Lady Marmalade" won Video Of The Year, JLo & JaRule perform "I'm Real," & OMG Britney Spears holding a SNAKE!?!?@!?

― billstevejim (billstevejim), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

That was only 4 years ago?!

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:10 (twenty years ago)

9/11 really changed everything man.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

2001 was funny! Y'all are smoking crack. "Now she's J Lo, but I remember when we used to call her 'hey, ho!'"

― Candicissima (candicissima), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:14 (twenty years ago)

Jamie Foxx was 2001, also the year "Lady Marmalade" won Video Of The Year, JLo & JaRule perform "I'm Real," & OMG Britney Spears holding a SNAKE!?!?@!?

You're right, but didn't they host the movie awards in 2001 as well or something?

― Cunga (Cunga), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:15 (twenty years ago)

Wayans Bros were 2000

I thought so. That one was embarrassingly unfunny.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:16 (twenty years ago)

Can someone tell me when MTV became BET?

― joeschmoe (joeschmoe), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

When people started realizing that black people were the only ones making good popular music.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:29 (twenty years ago)

Jamie Foxx was 2001, also the year "Lady Marmalade" won Video Of The Year, JLo & JaRule perform "I'm Real," & OMG Britney Spears holding a SNAKE!?!?@!?

awesome.

how come daddy yankee sounds so fucking amazing on record but anemic and badly constructed here?

― anthony, Monday, 29 August 2005 04:09 (twenty years ago)

first repeat, and fat joe's g-unit dis is gone, replaced by a surreal seven- or eight-second long audio dropout.

and then as soon as he announces the award winner and missy approaches the stage, they cut the live audio again -- i think they did this in the original broadcast too -- and go full up on the recorded missy track.

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Monday, 29 August 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

I hate being on the West Coast and not seeing anything live anymore. Watching Dane Cook bomb like the WMD Rummy's been looking for was arguably the highlight of the show for me.

― Cunga (Cunga), Monday, 29 August 2005 04:37 (twenty years ago)

check the AP photo slideshow. apparently only 15 people were in attendance that night.

did hillary duff have like hella plastic surgery or something? she looks waaaay different

― mang, Monday, 29 August 2005 06:43 (twenty years ago)

I was sad the Bow Wow - Billy Joe faux smooch should have beaten out Madonna and Britney's moment

― joe schmoe (joeschmoe), Monday, 29 August 2005 11:50 (twenty years ago)

hillary duff got new teeth.

― maura (maura), Monday, 29 August 2005 12:15 (twenty years ago)

And she's on the coke/meth and red bull diet.

― Candicissima (candicissima), Monday, 29 August 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)

Why is MTV still trying to cram Snoop Doggy Dog down our throats? Didn't he lose any cultural or musical resonance 12 years ago?

― PB, Monday, 29 August 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

I think you might be slightly mistaken.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 29 August 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

also: Was it just me, or did Diddy announce Dane Cook as "Danye Cook," as in Kanye West?

― PB, Monday, 29 August 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

wtf was this mess.... Shakira's ass and Kanye's Golddiggers saved this bitch. And somebody send 50 and Fat joe to marriage counseling. Next year let Lil Jon host. If it gotta be bad, at least make it Crunk. Ahh Skeet Skeet skeet!!!

― badabing, Monday, 29 August 2005 19:29 (twenty years ago)

how great were the mtv commercials with the gum guy and hairy palms, best part of a terrible show

― mg, Tuesday, 30 August 2005 02:16 (twenty years ago)

As a host, Sean Combs makes an excellent music business executive. May he return to that role. I promise I won't miss him.

I ended up muting most everything except the award announcements and the performances. Paris Hilton bantering with some 16-year-old rapper about jewelry? The Sisters Simpson talking about the dirty south? Rappers (yawn) cussing out other rappers?

Spare me.

― Lyra Jane (Lyra Jane), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 02:19 (twenty years ago)

they need to get rid of the huge audience format that they stole from the European VMAs. just go back to NY, have a small pit of screaming idiots, and have a new host that actually has charaisma.

and send hilary duff to my house as soon as possible...

― JD from CDepot, Tuesday, 30 August 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

Still my favorite thread:
M V A

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 04:31 (twenty years ago)

The dissing between 50 and fat joe goes further back. To make a long story short, Jah Rule got one of them notes from the police that says u have to stay like 50 ft away from 50c. 50 also got police protection because he felt threatened by jah. 50 denies everything ofcourse.

― Snow, Tuesday, 30 August 2005 09:52 (twenty years ago)

the fat joe vs 50cent goes back ages ago. it started wiv th whole feud between ja rule and 50cent. then last yr ja, jadakiss and fat joe recorded New York and it was released on R.U.L.E. it was a diss againt 50cent and west side. so then recently with Piggy Bank 50cent hit back. and the first they have heard of fat joe on the situation since New York was at the awards. and apparently 50cent and Gunit tried to jump fat joe as he was walkin off th stage but was stopped by security. so that is why 50cent lashed. coz he was held bak by security. but it still all about the 50 vs ja situation. its annoyin all the dissin sum1 get there fukin guns and shoot the other or somethin it is all stupid and such crap now!!

― Missy MissY, Tuesday, 30 August 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

G UNIT IS TERRIBLE
JUST LISTEN TO THE LYRICS
HOW DO PEOPLE RESPECT THIS GUY
DOWNLOAD THE SONG
PROBLEM CHILD - STYLES P FEAT JADAKISS
THAT SONG PROVES WHOSE BETTER...CLEARLY.

― G Unit is wack, Wednesday, 31 August 2005 00:08 (twenty years ago)

What happens when an awards-show host promises "anything can happen" and nothing does? You face the wrath of one A.C. Nielsen. Sunday's excruciating Video Music Awards averaged 8 million viewers, down a staggering 22 percent from last year and making it the lowest-rated ceremony since 1997. And Gwen Stefani thought she was the night's biggest loser. Hardly.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

You people are retarded. =] 50 Cent kicks more ass then Fat Joe. His songs are way better. But this isn`t what this argument is about, so I`m done. But then again 50 Cent is stoopid for startin` all this sh*t in the first place, la?

― Alyssa Jones, Wednesday, 31 August 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

Don't know about his music but 50 sure does suck a mean d--k.

― kevin says relax (daddy warbuxx), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

I liked when Diddy stopped "conducting" the orchestra and even-less-explicably began "conducting" the crowd.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

Fuck you rap lovers. your music is lame and pointless. its all about rock!!!!!!!!!Green Day was totally the highlight of the moment!!!! but the vmas sucked ass! Go Green day!

― Sylvia, Thursday, 1 September 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)
