Just wanted to start a thread about this possibly HOT topic. Of course, I have an ulterior motive to this, as I'll be blogging Daddino-style on Thursday as the awards show occurs. Click here for more info, if curious.

So, let's see some predictions, people. I'm putting my money on Robbie Williams. It's all about detachable buttock muscles.

The only thing I need to know is that Britney Spears will debut her Neptunes produced new single, which "promises to be absolutely amazing" according to Mr Tim Finney...

― JoB, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hype...

― JM, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I will be there, you know. It's 3 blocks from my house. We're on a mission to kill off Gwen Stefani.

― Ally, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You horrible woman, you go off to carry out this necessary and right task and don't invite *me*?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You're totally invited, I mean obviously the more people for me to dictate tasks to the better, but besides you'd be good company.

Could you find out if the new No Doubt album is done before you kill her? I really want to hear whant No Doubt cranked through The Neptunes would sound like.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is there anything the Neptunes *aren't* producing these days? I have this vision of eight million bands crowded around their studio going "PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE make us hip!" and them just chucking out random DATs of abbreviated bass squelches through the windows and telling the assembled hordes to go away.

My site's been updated - check it out! (And lemme know if you have trouble loading the site, or if the layout's a bit screwy, or you think I'm a pretentious dolt, or you think I'm an underrated genius.)

― David Raposa, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Listen, I got nothing against the site, it's fine, and I got nothing against self-promotion, which is great, but this is like the 807th link you've posted in the past two days to your own site on IL*/FT. What's that about?

― Ally, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, it's supposed to be Freaky-Trigger sponsored, from what I recall w/ various chats with Mr. Ewing - I was talking w/ him about perhaps dragging other FT on board to blab about the videos & stuff, but I realized that it was too big to pull off in such short time, so I'm doing the whole shebang. Not that tenuous association w/ FT justifies my "push", of course, but yeah.

That was my last promo post about it, though, so I'll just hush up about it.

― David Raposa, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, I mean I'm all for the idea of it being FT sponsored or what have you but a link daily, sometimes more than that? It's almost making me not want to read it in spite, which would be too bad. But that's just me, and I'm like that.

― Ally, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Chalk it up to youthful enthusiasm and exuberance & shit. My bad. (Should I be worried that I'm really excited about doing this? Like, terribly excited? Golly...)

If you do plan on reading it, though, I hope this doesn't mean that your blow-dart plans are kaput.

― David Raposa, Wednesday, 5 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Clarification: "I'm A Slave 4 U" will be "amazing" for reasons not necessarily related to quality. I can be amazed in many different ways.

― Tim, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So what are your thoughts now then? Mine: Britney needs to learn how to sing live before I start calling her Miss Jackson.

― Ally, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, Britney was fine. 10X better than J. Lo (who I SWEAR was being "backed up" on her singin'). The song is pretty damn good, if my not-so-keen-on-pop ass says so. I'd love to hear what the critics will say about her scantilly-clothed form.

If 1000 situps a day could do that for me, I'd be on my back right now.

― David Raposa, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and while I'm here, recovering from my ordeal, I'd just like to pay respects to Mr. Daddino, whose commitment and tenacity in completing his MTV blogging project should be lauded and praised for years to come.

― David Raposa, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Watched the final 90 minutes or so; will catch up via popshots and MTV's constant rotation of reruns, but did anyone else think the Mick Jagger intro came off like an explanation/justification to the MTV audience of who this man is and why he "matters"?

― scott p., Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The N Sync name checking every pop artist visually was brillant . ( Rosenquist, Haring, Wesselman, Schaff, ) A pun that deep deserves points .

― anthony, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

All I'm sayin' is I ain't never seen either Britney or Janet actually blow a joint live.

Britney's song sounded like Paula Abdul, btw. You decide if I mean that as a compliment or not.
