MTV Video Music Awards- 8/28/2005
R. Kelly Joins Lineup at MTV Awards
NEKESA MUMBI MOODY, AP Music Writer NEW YORK - The MTV Video Music Awards have been defined by stirring performances, shocking surprises and sexual shenanigans. Now the network has booked an act that might provide all three elements in one performance — R. Kelly. The chart-topping R&B singer was named Tuesday as one of the performers at Sunday's awards show in Miami. Kelly, whose latest album, "TP.3 Reloaded," has sold more than 1 million copies, created buzz this summer with his five-part song, "Trapped in the Closet," a mini soap opera about infidelity. The 38-year-old singer, known for his sexually charged material, also faces multiple child pornography charges in his native Chicago stemming from a three-year-old case that allegedly involves a teenage girl. The case, which has yet to go to trial, hasn't hurt Kelly's recording career: In the interim, he has released four albums that have sold more than 1 million copies each and charted several hits. Still, the MTV Video Music Awards may be Kelly's most mainstream performance since his 2002 arrest. Kelly is set to join a lineup of performers that includes Kelly Clarkson, Green Day, 50 Cent, Shakira, Mariah Carey, The Killers, Kanye West and others. The hip-hop mogul formerly known as P. Diddy — now just Diddy — will be the host. The performers, presenters and Diddy will each receive a $26,000 gift basket courtesy of the network. Included in the goody bag: an iPod shuffle, a two-night stay at The Inn at Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina courtesy of Auberge Resorts, a two-year VIP Blockbuster Online membership, a Dooney & Bourke travel bag, Jose Cuervo limited-edition tequila and an Americana Couture T-shirt bejeweled with Swarovski crystals. ___ On the Net: http://www.mtv.com |
Although I know "curiosity killed the cat", RRrr is enough to make me tune in and watch...:p
|
I am going to have to miss this. :mad: Rrapist Kelly and the liege lord of the G-g-g-g-nit on the same show, though. I just wonder if Vivvy A. Fox will be there, looking a fool.

Are they gonna card everyone in the audience? Is he allowed to be around minors??

Pics from Pre show
Dang!! I'm looking at the Pre-show on MTV. I think Ciara looks pretty. DANG, Bobby Valentinos is LITTLE! Goodness!

I didn't realize how SHORT Bow-Wow is compared to Ciara. I personally think her dress could have been a little longer.
|
Hillary Duff??
Was that Hillary Duff in that U-G-L-Y dress? Was she trying to hide how skinny she's gotten?
I just want to say that dress is terrible!!! |
Lots of observations where does one start?
So far, Piddy is wack! Rara actually looked pretty good, but I think he was living out a acting dream. Ashlee and Jessica Simpson :rolleyes: , why does Jessic seemed to be getting more skanky? Kanye get over yourself :mad: More to come... |
overall, i wasn't impressed with the show...at all :rolleyes:

Me neither. I'm still waiting for the surprises Diddy promised. A few thoughts... How in the devil did Snoop won best dressed? Even Joe Camel (Jay) and tore-up 50 was looking better than him! Even Lil' John! Dear Mase: I saw you showing up with 50 and now you're with G-Unit. You had a lot brownie points when I was in college and you were with Diddy. Whatever ones you had left are gone now. I'll give them to Kayne. To me, Rrr was looking kind of retarded doing all of the parts by himself ! Mama Jitterbug said he looked funny when he was doing Kathy's part. What he did, was that part 6? Dear Ashely and Paris: Why did ya'll let you sisters (Jessica and Nicky) come out the house like that? They looked bad and they will be getting clowned by People when I get my issue on Saturday. Dear Diddy: Were there some stipulations on you hosting the awards-my girlfriend be a part of the preshow, Biggie tribute, constant change in Sean John clothes? Was it me or when Grandmaster Flash started playing Atomic Dog that Diddy was going to start hopping or that Shaq was going to appear hopping? Also, wasn't Kelly Clarkson rocking it out on the end? That's all for now...maybe more tomorrow. |
I want R. Kelly to just please stop it I say!!
|
Rrrra had on some serious foundation.
I thought the show was whack. |
I didn't even recognize Lil Kim.
|
My impressions..
For the first time in i don't know when Lil Kim didn't look that bad (for her)....
RRr looked like he needed to be having that convo by himself in a white padded room with a designer straight jacket perhaps. Diddy, Sean whatever the hell your name is beat it already...he was irritating. Biggie is gone let it go man. I did kinda enjoy them bringing Uncle Luke & Hammer out. Never liked Hammer's music but gave him credit for his high energy dancing. Ashley and Jessica....skankelous. Jessica grates and now i can add her sister to the mix. Loved Kanye and Jamie..."She' gives me money..when I'm in need.." I think this was my only fave part. I would watch again just to see this and I am done. and I concur with Jitterbug on giving Snoop best dressed..please Jay or Usher should have gotten that one. |
