MTV Video Music Awards
by
I have so little interest in music videos and the current crop of "super star" singers that I managed to completely forget the VMA's were on this weekend. I'll watch the Oscars and the Emmys (coming up on the 16th) because those are real award shows. But this? A cable channel giving out awards? How cheap must that feel?
If any of you actually did watch, feel free to write something in the comments and I might promote it up here (with credit of course) if there's something worth writing about. If you want to read all about that, feel free, there's plenty of crap about it on the 'net.
Take a look at the top winners (via Variety) and tell me if this isn't one big joke.
Video of the Year: Rihanna, "Umbrella," featuring Jay-Z
Male Artist of the Year: Justin Timberlake
Female Artist of the Year: Fergie
Congratulations, especially to Rihanna...whoever you are.

I completely agree with Kanye West on this one - this was an insult to all the people who were nominated and especially everyone who won awards who worked their ass off just to be at that show. If Spears wants to do that, she should have to earn it by putting out a new record now and getting some respect back for her waning professional skills.
And let me make this point exceedingly clear: I've got no problem with her performing even though her personal life is a train wreck. If she can still sing and put out a good album that sells like they used to, she can sing and dance up there all she wants and resume the life she left behind previously. I've got no problem with that.
But this free ride? What a joke.
