Man, the VMAs used to be the shit when I was growing up. Finding out who won the coveted the Best Choreography in a Video mattered. Watching Britney walk out on stage wrapped in a large albino snake to fascinate and terrify turn-of-the-millennium youths was a moment.

And now to get the usual posts out of the way, pop music sucks, pop culture sucks, I hate mainstream things, I don't know who modern musicians are so they're unimportant, yadda yadda, the pre-show starts in a hour. Obviously everything's subjective, but I do wish more music was represented here. It leans towards mostly pop and hip hop, there's plenty of great rock stuff out there...Oh well, it's all good. Eh, it is what it is. That's why I just look forward to the R&R Hall of Fame every year.

Miley's outfit would be better suited for someone with an actual curvy body.
If only it was Kate Upton...

I told them. I told Nicki and Taylor, I got this shit. No one saw it coming.

I'm viewing this as a wrestling show.
Nicki opening the show two years running. She's been trusted by the top brass to get the crowd pumped, but hasn't gotten main event push.
The payoff to the Swift/Minaj feud is a reconciliation, putting both over. Some quick patchwork to salvage the initial botch by Swift some months ago.
Macklemore performing outside. Can he get back to the top of the card?
Miley Cyrus taking some knocks at herself. She was getting some Bo Dallas heat, but can she turned it into New Day heat?
We'll see by the end of the night.

Well, at least this is reminding me that Andy Samberg still isn't funny.

Britney Spears is a vet of these awards. Her ability to perform without being carried is in question, so they've stuck her into a speaking role tonight.

Miley's not too bad as host so far.

Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson could be the next great duo if they continue collaborating, although Uptown Funk began to wear out its welcome towards the end of its push.

Apparently they weren't many people's friends, as that movie bombed pretty hard.

I mean, it was the #1 song for 14 weeks. Hell, it's still in the Top 20 right now. Still. I mean, it's a damn good song, but overkill might be an understatement.

The Weeknd finally getting the attention he deserves. Working hard on his craft, Can't Feel My Face is him working smarter, and its paying off.

By the end of the night, we will have surpassed the 1 million mark for Taylor Swift dancing GIFs.

Other than her performance as Sugilite, I'm not much of a Nicki Minaj fan.

Nicki and Miley going into business for themselves, trying to get an angle going for The Grammys. The top brass aren't going to approve of that, look for them getting jobbed out to a returning Janet Jackson.
