Who the hell is Chelsea Handler? She sux!

Lady GaGa won some kind of award and thanked the soldiers who came with her. Justin Bieber sang some song I never heard of.

Those are the only ones I recognized so far! :rofl:

Oh--- and some guy came up on stage wearing either a jock strap or bikini underwear! Too funny!

2. I love Chelsea!

I think she's doing well. She kept walking around too much in the opening though.

There hasn't been any performances I've liked yet. I haven't liked the VMAs in recent years.

4. What's the connection between MTV and the music industry?
I seem to recall them running music videos years ago but that's been awhile.

5. Wow, Lady GaGa won another award and did a complete wardrobe change!
Pretty incredible considering how elaborate her costumes are.

10. Taylor Swift seems like a really nice person, but holy shit - what a pisspoor artist she is.
Pure suckage. Up there with Carrie Underwood, Celine, Beyonce, Paula Abdul, and all those other engineered-by-demographic-analysis shitstains in terms of suckage quotient.

17. I'm not watching iit, but evidently it was an "I forgive you Kanye" moment?
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/39137858/ns/today-entertainment/
Taylor Swift absolves Kanye West at VMAs
The singer delivers a poignant and powerful ode about West at the MTV Video Music Awards including the line: "32 is still growing up now ... you're still an innocent."

9. Not the only one, but you might very well be the only one with a brain and sense of self-respect
and taste.

18. Is there a single performer or nominee on this show that actually plays a musical instrument?
I guess since MTV doesn't actually play music videos anymore, they don't need awards for actual musicians.

19. I remember watching part of the VMAs last year and everyone was using AutoTune
I mean they did all these mash-up songs and they'd all be singing auto-tune. Jamie Foxx is the worse of them with Rihanna not much futher behind.

Which just shows that if you have a good look and can dance you can auto-tune your way to a #1 song. Who really needs skills/
