MTV either shows videos late at night or early in the morning. VH1 is just about as bad. And MTV2 (which was created to show videos that MTV didn't) is on the verge of being like them.

I always wonder why people complain that MTV doesn't show enough videos, but BET shows too many.

MTV doesn't show hardly any videos. The channel is called MUSIC Television, yet, there is hardly any music. Pimp My Ride, Cribs, Next, Laguna Beach, The Hills... NOTHING about music. Real World and Road Rules have been on for as long as MTV has been on the air. All those other shows can GO!

On another note, Timbaland looks like a stuffed ham in that suit. He was supposed to be a bodybuilder these days, but he looks like he is putting that weight back on.

WTH did J.Lo have on in the audience?


My observations as the show progresses:
*Lil' Kim ain't so "lil" anymore!
*I SOOOOOOO have a crush on James Blunt! He's a cutie and that accent...! I heart him!
*Is "My Humps" a BEP song or Fergie's song? If it's Fergie's song, why are those other bozos on stage and why didn't they allow her to give shoutouts FIRST?
*Chris Brown's cute self has a slight speech impediment....
*I was thouroughly entertained and intrigued by the treadmill performance. Who are those guys?
*Beyonce was good....Not great, but good.
*Her and Jay are cute together.
*I am pleasantly surprised to see Jay and Nas sitting next to one another!
*Who is the LAME chick that is telling jokes throughout the show (the one who said Paris is fat)?

The lame chick was Sara Silverman...I think that's her name anyway. She's Jimmy Kimmel's girlfriend.

I think that they both were there to support Hype. Or it could be because Nas is now employed on Jay's label...who knows?

The treadmill guys are Ok Go. I love that video.

My Humps is a BEP song. London Bridge is a Fergie song. Anyway, if it wasn't for Fergie, the BEP would not be where they are at today. Adding her was the best thing they ever did.

Sara Silverman was very wack. If I was Paris, I would have knocked her. And she goes with Jimmy Kimmel?

Another issue: Did anyone see 50 and LL together? They were there because LL is doing his next album (supposely his last with Def Jam) with 50. And he was complaining during the preshow that Def Jam isn't the same and they are not promoting (take that up with Russell and Jay). He is the GOAT and he has lower his standards by working with the devil (aka 50)? WTH?

Ok, so I see that the VMA's are coming on at 9pm, and I wanted to see who opened the show. So I check it out before I go out. Ok, so I see that it's Justin Timberlake, so I look and listen cuz I still have yet to hear this song Sexy Back. So I'm hoping that he sings the song, which he doesn't for the first song, and then he starts singing a 2nd song and I'm like I hope this is it, which it turns out to be. So then this porker looking dude comes out and I'm like who is this...So I take a closer look and I see that it's Timberland. I remember in a previous post that someone said that he had porked up, but I wasn't ready for that at all. My mouth was hanging open for at least 30 seconds. So what did Tim do gain all of Missy's weight that she lost. I mean that suit around the booty area didn't look good at all. I am still in shock of all the weight that he has gained.

All I can hear in my mind is Little Richard from that Geico commercial going "mashed potatoes and gravy"....yeah ole Timbo has had his fair share of mashed potatoes and gravy....

MTV is supposed to be for music videos- music television.

BET is supposed to reflect programming for African-Americans, and yet all they have to show is music videos. I have a hard time believing there is no programming of even slightly greater significance that they could showcase.

Both channels suck.
