2008 Video Music Awards nothing but a Britney Spears pity party!


last year Britney Spears was the butt of the jokes concerning the lame MTV music Awards. This year was nothing different. The MTV awards honored an undeserving Spears 3 moon men including 'Video of the Year' for a song that was a moderate hit at best, and a video people barely recognized. Last year it was Rihanna, who Britney introduced, that laughed at the pop star, this year it was Chris Brown caught on camera laughing hysterically when Britney was given 'Video of the Year'.

Can you say, "all credibility lost".

Even Britney looked baffled. If I were her, I would have given the award back and said, "I'll comeback for this one next year, after my new hot ass album and video drops, when I actually deserve it".

As far as performances, the cheesy studio lot performances stole from the shows swagger, and it was only P!nk who was able to make it work for her and give the performance of the night. Though terribly overrated, Lil Wayne, with Leona Lewis and T-Pain, delivered, but it was TI who really showed how a hip hop performance should be done while giving Rihanna a chance to redeem herself after a stiff opening performance that would have been legendary had it been Beyonce, who has the talent it takes to match if not outshine the fantastic staging of that 'Thriller 2009' show introduction.

Kanye West what are you doing to yourself? Stop trying to be T-Pain, and dick riding Lil' Wayne. Please stick to rapping and leave the singing alone.

Chris Brown what were you thinking? I understand urban artist feel the need to dick ride Lil Wayne these days, but how do you think the director of your video feels when you say someone else deserved to win? That was tacky.

Ultimately, it was the side performances like Lupe Fiasco, Fanny Pack, LL Cool J, and the underrated Katy Perry that kept the show almost from sinking.
