Eight out of thirteen aint bad. Lady Gaga swept the MTV VMAs, and even picked up the biggest award of the night: Best Video of the Year.
(Although she also picked up weirdest moment of the night when she won the big prize from Cher, while dressed in a meat dress...obviously causing all of PETA to mutually faint.)
Eminem had a great night with a great opening number (Not Afraid/Love the Way You Lie) and winning two award for "Not Afraid."
Jared Leto's "rock" band won Best Rock Video for "Kings and Queens." (Really...this isn't real rock.)
And for the non-shock of the night...Justin Bieber won Best New Artist. (But was he lipsynching?)
I give Florence+the Machine performance of the night for her tribal dance/epic "Dog Days are Over." (and while im talking about her...everyone should listen to that album in full. shes the best thing in music in a long time.)
I didn't love Taylor Swift's rather boring performance, but B.o.B./Bruno Mars/ Haley Williams with Paramore did a great trio performance.
This finally brings us to the end of the show: Kanye West. I could ramble all day about his Taylor Swift scandal last year, but I won't. Instead I'll comment on his tame performance this year. The whole show was building up to what could have been a very epic Kanye finale, but turned out to be a good colour-schemed mediocre song (which is what Kanye West's career is anyways.) The song wasn't very good (especially that random rapper that showed up halfway through) although the chorus was pretty good and very catchy. For no reason at all Kanye ended in autotune (making Jay Z cringe..."D.O.A.") and causing alot of confusion to the audience.
Overall, the award show was pretty good (better then usual) but I am NOT looking forward to Kanye's new album like everyone else is...
