Well, as a lot of people know, the VMA's were on MTV last night. And you know I gotta post some comments on it.

Jamie Foxx was cool. Some of his jokes were not funny. They would show shots of the crowd sitting there looking hella mad. But the into opera meledy was funny though. I still can't get over the opera singer in the mini skirt singing "I don't think you ready for this jelly...my body is too bootylicious for ya babe..." As the night went on, Jamie's jokes kinda faded away, well, the laughs anyway. Some were funny, but not all of them. I cracked up at the part when Will Smith told him that he enjoyed his performance in Rush Hour 2! That's the most insulting insult- getting mistaken for another comedian!

I enjoyed Missy's performance though. That metal head statue was interesting though. It kinda gave you that "feel" that you get from watching the video to "Get Ya Freak On". I'm glad that Nelly Furtado was a part of the performance too- the remix is hot! Ludacris and Trina did their thing too on "One Minute Man". But it was touching how Missy dedicated her performance to Aaliyah though. The image that they showed of Aaliyah on the large screen was beautiful. She looked like a true angel.

On the Aaliyah tribute, with Janet, Timbaland, Ginuwine, Missy and Aaliyah's older brother Rashaad, you can tell that everyone was a bit full when they were speaking, especially Janet. The fan letter that she read was very touching too.

My most favorite part of the night had to be when Michael Jackson came out and started dancing like only he could at the end of Nsync's performance. As a fan of Nsync, I was a bit disappointed with their performance in this year's VMA's. It just doesn't compare with last year's performance. I still love their "This I Promise You/Bye Bye Bye/It's Gonna Be Me Medley" from the 2000 VMA's. The part when they dance behind the flat screen TV's with their faces on them was the most unique part of the performance. But I digress...

A comment on Alicia Keyes' performance: wonderful! Pure talent! And the best part is that she sounds just as good live (if not better than) the recording! The choir with their prison jumpsuits made it even better.

Question: Why was DC3 dressed like they were Pocahontas??

The whole entire reason that I even tuned in to the awards show was to see Britney Spears perform her new song "I'm a Slave 4 U". I remember hearing it in the VMA promos and it sounded like she hooked up with The Neptunes or something- it has their trademark "space quality" to it. I read on the Right On/Black Beat Message Board that she was gonna have these boots on with metal chains on them, and she was gonna have three tigers walking around her in a circle. But she did handle a snake, which was a bit exotic for a stage performance, but cool nonetheless. I would like to have a snake as a pet, but knowing my Mom, she would try to get a pet spider or something(she hates snakes, I hate spiders). But anyways, the song is hot, and I'm looking forward to seeing a video for that song soon. As much as I complain to my buddy Simi how I can't stand Britney anymore, I'm beginning to change my mind about her after watching MTV's Diary too. Simi would be proud of me. :P
