VMA's; minute by minute commentary

Britney Spears' performance
So her first performance since.....she went crazy, I guess. It was...decent, I'll say. First of all, the costume? Yuck. She was wearing...basically a sparkly bra and underwear with knee-high boots. She could have kept the top if she had put some pants on. Her butt was jiggling the whole time. So Britney isn't as energetic as she once was. Although I was never a huge fan of hers, I always gave her props for putting on a good show. Where was the enthusiasm, Brit? She literally walked from dance block to dance block. It was almost lazy. She did have a couple of cool moves, but they in no way made up for the fact that she was so obviously lip synching it was painful to watch. At some points she didn't even move her lips...like there wasn't even an attempt at looking legit. All in all, I'd give her a C for effort....I mean, the chick's been through a lot. Keep practicing, Brit.

Sarah Silverman's opening monologue
Crazy as usual. I usually laugh at her coz she makes me uncomfortable;although, she just told one joke that made me crack up: "So I was backstage, and I saw C-Lo. I asked him if he had encountered any racism. And he gave me this really weird response. He said, 'I'm Kanye West'." Other than that funny joke, same 'ol Sarah Silverman.

Alicia Keys presenting
Ummmmm....where has she been? She is way too shiny.

Nicole S and Eve presenting
Where has Eve been too? Nicole looked stunning as usual.

Kanye West performance
I just love him. I don't care what anyone says.

Rihanna award
Her dress is gorgeous. It's a hot pink number, and I want it.

Maroon 5 performing
Adam Levine is just so yummy. I'm disappointed that this was just a "filler" performance, and we only got to see like one minute of it.

Justin Timberlake award
I honestly can't tell you what award he just won. I'm too busy staring and drooling.

50 Cent/Kanye
The little face-off they just did was hilarious. For those of you who don't know: both Kanye and 50's albums are dropping on Tuesday (9/11). 50 has announced that if Kanye outsells him, 50 will retire. They're not even talking to each other.

Beyonce award
She won 'Best Collaboration' with Shakira. She looks beautiful as always, but I don't quite know how I feel about her toga-inspired dress. Her boobs are about to pop out.

Chris Brown performance
One word: DAMN! This dude can DANCE! I am in awe of him. Rihanna looks beautiful too.

Justin Timberlake award
Again, I just wanna crawl through the TV screen. His comments about Chris Brown being young are funny.

Ludacris not going on stage
So Fergie just won an award, and she couldn't make it. The presenter (I don't even know who this kid is) just jokingly invited Ludacris onstage, and Luda declined! C'mon, Luda....I don't see you winning any awards.

Pamela Anderson
Same as always.....at least her dress was some-what modest.

Kanye performance (new song)
Never heard this song before...don't really like it, but Kanye is still always fun to watch.

Rihanna performance
I love her little punkish, Madonna circa 1985 inspired mini-dress.

Nelly presenting
Ummm....holding a beer and can barely get his words out. Classy.

Alica Keys performance
I don't like her headband thingy. I miss the Alicia who used to pound the shit out of a piano. I don't really like the little gospel group in the background. Wow, this just turned into a church gathering.

Jamie Fox and Jennifer Garner presenting
Did anyone else just see the tech guy like push Jennifer down the steps? Anyway, Jamie Fox is crazy, and Jennifer looks gorgeous as usual. hahaha...Jamie is cracking me up.

Best New Artist: Gym Class Heroes
Probably the only award these guys will even win.

50 Cent performance
If you're trying to promote your new album, why would you perform "In Da Club"? Promote your new shit!

Mary J. Blige
Mary, I don't like your blonde bob. Sorry.

Dr. Dre
Wait, he's presenting an award? So they had a presenter present a presenter? Weird. Dang I thought he was performing.

Rihanna--Video of the Year
Wow, this is Rihanna's year. Really love her hair!

Young Joc and Diddy
Diddy: "It's not over til I saw it's over." Man, this dude is just full of himself in general.
Young Joc: "Don't go nowhere!" Mannnnnn, bad grammar is sooooo cool!!!

Nelly Furtado/Timbaland/JT
Nelly Furtado: gorgeous

Laser lights are hurting my eyes.

Timbaland: Wow, I never realized how buff he is. :)

JT: O.....M....G. Britney Spears, wtf the fuck were you thinking let him go???!!??

"Give It to Me": I was hoping they'd all perform this song! Well.....that ending was abrupt.

And so is mine.

Jumping on the bandwagon.....

So I've seen this little diddy on at least two other blogs....figured I'd join in as well.

THE RULES: Elaborate on the words below kids!

Accent – British and Australian accents make me melt....especially when I'm drunk. Yeah, especially when I'm drunk.

I Don't Drink – whiskey. Whiskey makes me act like a burly man who wants to fight everyone. I am, in reality, the opposite of this facade. Once this past summer at a bar I was trying to impress this guy I know. I asked him what shot he wanted, and I thought he said, "Anything with whiskey." I almost gagged at the thought of it, but I'm a "guy's girl" right? I can handle it, right? So the bartender sets the shots in front of us, and the guy says, "What's this?" After the bartender replies that's it's Jim Beam, the guy looks at me angrily and says, "I said anything but whiskey!" Oops.

Chore I Hate – pairing up socks. I never come up with an even number. I find socks I didn't even know I had.

Pets – I have a 6 year old Shepard/Boxer mix, but she lives with my parents. I miss her!!

Essential Electronic – My laptop. I don't know what I would if I couldn't check Facebook every five minutes. I'm serious. It's sick but true.

Perfume/Cologne – I've been wearing Clinique "Happy" since middle school (I'm 21), and I'm okay with that. You find something you like; you stick with it.

Gold or silver – I'll say silver colored....it can be silver or white gold; I just don't like gold colored things.

Insomnia – when the TV's not on

Job Title – student....this semester I'm a student teacher....also, server aka my tables' bitch

Most Admired Trait – sense of humor....anyone who can make me laugh is a-okay in my book!

Kids – I obviously like them if I teach them; however, teaching is the BEST form of birth control!

Religion – is not something that is important to me....at all.

Siblings – 1 full brother, 2 stepsisters, and 1 half brother

Time I wake up – as of now, 5:30-6, and it suuuuuucks!

Unusual talent/skill – I can make a 3 leaf clover w/ my tongue. :O)

Vegetable I refuse to eat – olives or mushrooms

Worst habit – biting the skin around my fingers....it's a compulsive habit

X-rays – ummm.....well, I busted my chin open when I was three or four, but I have no idea if that required an x-ray. If it didn't, then my first one was when I was about 15 or 16. I had chest x-rays because I was having trouble breathing. Turns out, I was just having anxiety attacks--yay!

My favorite meal – either wings and beer or spaghetti and meatballs
