mtv video music awards 2014

this yr's vma ceremony will be televised tomorrow at 9 pm eastern time. surely the producers are salivating for another chance at sparking controversy like w/ miley and robin last yr. queen bey is the most nominated artist & will be given the video vanguard award. the show's ppl are already hyping up her performance which will probably be 10 years long just like justin timberlake's last yr.

will u be watching?

Jay and B gonna file for divorce on live television, you heard it here first

With a lineup including Beyoncé, Usher, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Sam Smith, Iggy Azalea, 5 Seconds of Summer and Maroon 5,

iggy azalea fell off the stage, unfortunately it was during a rehearsal and not the real show

In intensive care

B takes off ring and throws it mid-song.

What song, independent women?

"Shake It Off" guest verse

so far the highlight has been trey songz misreading the black keys' name as "the black eyes"

Ha. When he said that I was thinking of a DC Dischord band of that name.

Was Jay-Z watching Pharoah imitate him?

XD

Taylor Swift's mid-song rapped portion was kinda meh. She and Lorde high-fiving later in the audience was better

At least her delivery of the spoken word word bit wasn't completely unbearable.

"completely"

earlier portion of the song was kinda catchy

I read two sentences and then went "NOPE"

wow that site is still going

btw this was super boring and the best pre-Beyonce performance was given by... Jessie J

i mean, that's probably true but i'm still going to say i prefered usher for the novelty of usher now being the old dude giving off a "whatever happened to real music by real musicians" vibe at the vmas

noted this elsewhere but becky g was zero when "you make me wanna..." came out

beyonce redeemed the whole enterprise for me, i loved how what initially seemed like an aimless medley, pratically ambient bey turned out to be setting the stage for an unprecedented degree of I AM WOMAN I AM ALL THINGS that made everybody else look like T-Mobile pitchpersons

except for usher slappin da bass

choosing to only focus on her new album was brilliant, too. justin timberlake did a career retrospective and all it did was reveal him to be an old fart before his time

Free Jesse Helt! (homeless guy who accepted Miley Cyrus award has turned himself in to authorities)
