Justin's VMA Performance - Page 2

My first thought when I saw Christina was WHOAH! Showing enough skin there! Seriously, with the top pulled up and the skirt riding that low... WAY too much. I'm also wondering if she got implants. I know she's just incredibly skinny so where did those come from? She kind of reminds me of Paris Hilton sometimes. The whole "It cost a lot of money to look this cheap" look.
*Okay, reducing bitch factor*

MTV just strikes me as more derivative and self congratulatory every time I watch it. Did it seem to anyone else that the show was kind of a retrospective of rock through the MTV era? First there was The Hives with some guy doing his best Mick Jagger, then Justin came out and tried to do Michael Jackson, then Guns&Roses did their little come back performance. It was the 70's then the 80's followed by the 90's. It all left me with the feeling that there's nothing truly new out there... Especially not on MTV.

Anyway, I think pop music is finally falling by the wayside and people are wanting more than catchy tunes and a good dance performance. Therefore, I don't think Justin will go too far on his own.

Killarney-
Yep, she went to N.A. She did go to Rochester when she was younger, but her mom moved the family to Wexford because Christina was having so many problems there. The same problems seemed to occur at N.A. Hmmmm....

I seriously encourage everyone to watch the Behind the Music when it comes on VH1 again.... I laughed my ass off the whole entire time at everything she was saying.

I think she did her fair share to deserve some of what she went through.

I do feel sorry for her in a way. She needs to "find herself". She's been a manufactured product trying to fit an image ever since she was a little girls (she was on Mickey Mouse club, etc.). She never had a chance to be a real kid and find her own identity. Someone probably said to her last night, hey Christina, tie this scarf around your boobs and let's cut this denim mini skirt in half and she went right along with it.

COULDN'T AGREE MORE.

That awards show was boring. He was boring *yawn*. And I like N Sync in general, but I thought he was less than riveting. Far less.

I have to say though that the album will probably do well. If the music industry can convine ANYONE that Avril Lavigne or Shakira are "punk" then they can sell this.

Omg.....exactly. I mean, Shakira, punk??!! *shakes head in disgust*

The thing that galls me about Christina is that she *does* have a beautiful voice. I'd listen to her if she wiped off the pounds of make-up and ditched the white trash gear and was just a skinny, ugly white girl singer. I mean, it worked for Fiona Apple.

I too was disappointed by the VMAs - it was quite boring. I watched the Diary episode for the VMAs where Justin was talking about how hard it was preparing for the performance so I have to admit I was expecting a lot more from his performance. I thought the backdrop would go up, and there'd be more people and that was the warm up preformance. But he is a pretty good dancer - he reminds me of Usher - kinda like he's trying to be him but since they are both heavily influenced by MJ, I guess that is to be expected.
I like Shakira and all but I did not enjoy her performance.
And what was up with Micheal - was that an award or not. I looked in the papers and there was an artcle saying he thought it was and award but MTV say's there's not artist of the millenium award.

Hahaha, when I saw Christina, I was like-Oh My God!! She's orange! Thats not right!

Then I decided that she has to be a drag queen-thats my theory.

Other than that, I was bored by the whole spectacle.
