MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS 2011

thanks to the ever lovely team at MTV ASIA once again for inviting us and having to prepare such a nice buffet spread so early in the morning, we went to the live screening of the MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS 2011 direct off satellite all the way from the nokia theatre in los angeles to the MTV Asia headquarters.

mother monster once again stole the show without having to do much. she had traded wild and crazy fashionista for drunk and masculine when lady gaga joe calderone opened the show with her latest single 'you and i'. and prior to the performance, joe calderone was making all sorts of comments bout gaga which left britney spears all wondering who the hell was on stage and the biebs looked obviously bored of the entire thing, well, he could have just skipped the awards, me thinks.

so you might have already read/watch/realised that our favorite beyonce knowles announced her pregnancy on stage, and both katy perry and nick minaj were looking like idiots with their crazy outfit which, obviously, they are trying to take over the gaga's throne of being the most outrageously dressed, and congrats nicki, was reading off twitter during the live screening that someone said and i quote 'nicki minaj is wearing the left overs from all of gaga's previous outfit'. i cannot agree more. she looks like  walking garbage.

and yes, in case you haven't already figured it out, i do not like nicki minaj.

another highlight (for me at least) from this year's show was the fact that they got one of my favorite brit artiste, jessie j as their in-house entertainment and BOOOOOOOO, that girl deserve more than that! but i guess it's good publicity for her since she is still new and all that people were tweeting and asking about who that crippled woman seated on stage who were belting out 'price tag' (sans b.o.b), 'do it like a dude' and covers of cee-lo green's 'fuck forget you' and tlc's 'no scrubs' amongst others. tyler glenn (of neon trees, of course), who was not invited to the show, approved as he tweeted on his twitter account heh heh i also like how positive she is towards the whole thing when at the pre-vmas, selena gomez asked her how she were cause of her injured foot, she said something along the lines of 'instead of feeling sorry for myself at home, i decided to get on a plane and come to los angeles for this gig'. KUDOS!

i say, COME TO SINGAPORE!!

anyhow, love the britney spears tribute, love the fact that lady gaga joe calderone presented the award to her. and love those kids doing a medley of britney spears songs.

also the tribute to the late amy winehouse by russell brand was rather interesting, seeing as he did not screw anything up and it was clearly an emotional one for adele who was sitting in attendance looking all sobbish and cute. tony bennett came on stage and showed a video of him and winehouse singing a track off winehouse upcoming album, in the studio, it was beautiful.

big toes and thumbs up to bruno mars for that musical tribute to amy winehouse with his rendition of valerie which was beautifully done, both vocally and the choreography. i believe amy was smiling when she saw that. (:

the other worth talking about performance was by brit queen, adele who did such a perfect performance of someone like you.. words cannot describe how perfect and flawless it was. was truly <3.. AWWW.. what made it so amazing was the fact that it was an absolute stripped down performance with just her vocals and a backing instrument. that was all. 'nuff said..

also, that impromptu performance by kanye and jay-z was phenomenal though i thought they could have done a better song off their watch the throne album. i would have thought that song with beyonce would have been a wiser and better choice to promote watch the throne and 4. well, just my 2 cents. heh

okay i think i have been too long-winded ha ha

so in any case, congrats to katy perry, adele, lady gaga, britney spears, nicki minaj and justin bieber (nonetheless), foo fighters, beyonce and beastie boys for those moon mans. also, congrats to tyler, the creator who bagged the best new artist award, though i still have no idea who the hell he is heh heh

before i go, have i ever told you that i do not like hate the cast of jersey shore, and especially snooki? okayyy, that's all, for now..
