Full disclosure. I turn 34 in a few weeks. So naturally I watch the VMAs every year as a sort of attempt on my part to comprehend the popular trends in pop culture. And each year I noticed that in the 12 months between shows I realize how much further I am from it than the year before. It's now to the point where I literally sat there and had no clue who about 90% of the people were.
Some thoughts from a man in his mid-30s....
- Nicki Minaj is the most WWEish celebrity in the whole damn industry. She's cut promos on like every single female celebrity.
- Miley Cyrus tries too hard. Way too hard.
- Kanye for President. Ladies and gentlemen...this is Exhibit A when you allow a celebrity with a god complex complete control over his decisions. You know why Daryl Hall never got out of control? Because he had John Oates pimp slap the f*** out of him if he tried to go off the reservation on their blue-eyed R&B soul style.
- Nipple.
- I'm really out of the loop with pop music. It all sounds like it's being done to create the audio equivalent of an ecstasy trip.
- Taylor Swift and her army of six foot models. I'm glad us tall, skinny white girls can join together and make music videos that have more CGI than a Michael Bay film.
- Bieber's back? And crying onstage? Chris Brown did it first and he's still a pudwhack.
- The ads for MTV's shows. Holy jeebus. A series adaptation for the movie Scream? And Wes Craven died today. I'm hoping it's not caused by the show.
- Where are you Kurt Loder? I need you. I miss you. Loder's deadpan "I'd rather be having my penis shoved into sausage casing than being here and having to ask Courtney Love another question" demeanor was always welcome when someone tried to be too cute. Hell, bring back Tabitha Soren with you. She always looked like she was saying something nasty under her breath when Steven Tyler got too close to her tits.

I'm glad Kendrick won video of the year as part of the Taylor Swift Wreckin' Crew. Shame he couldn't be there tonight. Moment of the night: Nicki Minaj shooting on Miley Cyrus. Yes, cred gained by calling out the 90 lbs white girl after thanking your preacher in your acceptance speech for an ass video.

You mean by far the most interesting and natural feeling part of the night? Hate Yeezy all you want, that was an incredibly interesting and weird speech...and people are going to talk about it for a LONG time.

Nicki was just being real. 90 lb white girls shouldn't talk shit about her if they can't back it up.

Is that all backing up is these days?

Meanwhile, on the west (pun unintended) coast feed, Kanye's been rambling for 15 minutes, lots of contradictions, people cheering him being a jerk, and wearing a cheap looking beige t shirt while being prided as a fashion icon. Aaaaand, he's running for president now. Oh, the debates will be amazing.

Because he had John Oates pimp slap the f*** out of him if he tried to go off the reservation on their blue-eyed R&B soul style. You mean by far the most interesting and natural feeling part of the night? It's the most interesting thing of the night because of who Kanye is. Kanye's always gonna go out there and do something that forces you to react. The rest of them have managers, agents and PR people who will never let them go out there and ramble on about the negative consequences of branding while married to a woman whose family is more of a brand these days than an actual family. He's a walking contradiction. And a narcissist to boot. But because he's completely unfiltered, people see it as refreshing and candid. I'm sorry. The guy goes out and talks how he 'died' just so other artists can now have the platform to say what they want to say about other artists. Gag me with a pair of leather sweatpants. Dude got drunk and interrupted Taylor Swift accepting an award a few years ago because he's close with Beyonce. And I thought it was hilarious at the time because award shows are simply designed to bring celebrities together to celebrate celebrities. Winning and losing awards shouldn't be life or death for these folks. Kanye didn't deserve the heat he got from that. I like Kanye when he's not trying to act like he's the voice of a generation. But he's got so many people blowing smoke up his ass, his ego is only bound to grow larger and larger which, I suppose, makes him even more intriguing.

On Miley's finale now, has anyone ever tried too hard as much as her? Even Eurovison is telling her to tone it down.

If Nicki flashed her boobs on the show it'd be trending for days. Miley tried to shock the world by doing so and flopped cause she has none.

I saw a tweet that summed up Miley tonight. It was something along the lines of "Miley Cyrus is a 22 year old, but acts like she just learned what young people like from Yahoo Answers".

So apparently Miley shows some tit and smoked a joint. Won't someone think of the children!?....ah forget it, who the hell cares?
She's more forced than Ahmed Johnson opening the door.

The Minaj nonsense and the Miley boob thing were absolutely staged so that people would actually talk/give a f*** about an awards show that hasn't been relevent in roughly 15 years

Miley tried to shock the world by doing so and flopped cause she has none. Not to mention Miley been flashing hers every chance she gets. I get that after her childhood of being a Disney robot she wants to explore life on her terms. However, it's like if a porn star flashes her tits. We've seen it. Now if Katy Perry or Taylor Swift did that...
