    Why's that. I thought that MTV is usually left-leaning.

    That show needed a host.


    Chapelle would have been great.

    I like how they got all the rock bands to do one quick set. Very nice of MTV.


    My favorite part of the night was when Outkast performed.

    I liked when Andre got to his final set to do Hey Yeah!

    He said, "and for the one millionth time......my baby dont mess around..."


    That was pretty damn funny.

    Over all, the VMAs havent been good since 1994 maybe?

    The best VMA with out a doubt was the 1992 VMA.

    MTV is basically Nickelodeon with more boobs these days. As long as teenagers have expendable income, MTV will have advertisers, and as long as MTV has advertisers to pay their salaries, MTV will exist. Sometimes they do something just to appear "edgy" (I think that's the word the ad execs use), or something to make themselves seem relevant, but for the most part all they really are is another distribution point for the sale of consumer/pop culture. They're selling lifestyles, fashions, social consicience, pore cleansers and pop icons, and they're rakin' in the bucks, one teenage allowance at a time.

    But, it's a nice channel for watching nubile boobs. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, boobs.

    Well, I chose to watch other stuff, so I'll have to catch one of the many replays. I've only seen a bit as of now, I enjoyed my man Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips making a brief appearance. I also caught Lenny Kravitz, Alicia Keyes, and Stevie Wonder performing Higher Ground, that was bad ass.

    VMAs too tame for MTV crowd


    Super Bowl fiasco causes network to tone down show

    By MICHAEL D. CLARK
    Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle

    It took seven months, but we now know who the biggest loser is following Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" at Super Bowl XXXVIII: the MTV Video Music Awards.


    For its 21st anniversary telecast, the VMAs left the usual host cities of New York and Los Angeles for Miami, where celebrities arrived at the American Airlines Arena on yachts.


    This is the show that Madonna inaugurated in 1984 by writhing on the stage in a wedding dress while singing Like A Virgin.


    In 1999, Lil' Kim arrived wearing little more than a pastie above the waist. MTV was also the producer of Super Bowl XXXVII's halftime show and their tentativeness following the Jackson fiasco was evident.


    By comparison to past VMAs, Sunday's three-hour performance was like American Bandstand with A-list guests.


    South Beach fashions were the most risque part of the evening. Usher hit port in a white suit, smoking a cigar, and Houston's Beyoncé arrived in a gold lame hot pants-blouse combo.


    How buttoned-down was the broadcast? One of the most daring moments of the night was a thank you to fans for supporting a recent stint in rehab ... by Mary-Kate Olsen.


    Oddly, the lack of outrageous action made the moonman awards seem important. Rapper Jay-Z was the big winner.


    His controversial video for 99 Problems won four awards, including rap video, direction, editing and cinematography.


    "I was trying to push the envelope ... and this is my reward," he said.


    Jay-Z sat next to girlfriend Beyoncé and could be seen kissing her mother, local fashion designer Tina Knowles, as he walked to the stage to accept the best rap video award.Beyoncé returned the hip-hop salutation as she accepted best female video award for solo single Naughty Girl. This is her second consecutive year taking the category.


    Other winners included the collaboration between suave R&B singer Usher and rappers Ludacris and LiL' Jon on the top-10 single Yeah, which took best male video and best dance video. The viewers choice award was taken by rock-rap group Linkin Park and its video for Breaking the Habit.


    Outkast's hit single Hey Ya! took the video of the year honors as well as best hip-hop video.


    No Doubt (best group single for It's My Life) and Maroon 5 (best new artist in a video for This Love) also went home with awards. In the end, however, the choir robes of gospel-pop ensemble the Polyphonic Spree best represented these low-key VMAs.


    Can't wait for next year's Super Bowl halftime.

    Their pushing the whole voting thing made it all the worse. The end set with Outkast seriously annoyed the crap out of me.

    did anyone hear hoobastanks' lead singer???? holy sh*t, that was embarassing! his voice was shot, and it actually cracked real badly a few times. no wonder he was trying to make the crowd sing the chorus.

    didn't catch too much more that that though.

    I have no respect for people like him.

    If you are talentless and can't perform for **** on stage, then I just can't respect you. Even before the VMA's, he had a live version of the sing which was equally bad. How do these people get into showbusiness initially when they sound like that on the demo tape or whatever?

    This post is pretty much right on. The only part you left out was the part about sexin' up the pre-teens. Gotta get 'em having sex as soon as possible. Just use protection and everything will be alright.

    I didn't even know they were on there. I didn't watch because MTV will show it every hour on the hour for the next month now. Did they get booed bad or just enough to hear some boos?

    THE BOOS THAT ROCKED THE VOTE: KERRY DAUGHTERS RECEIVE RUDE AWAKENING AT MTV AWARDS
    Sun Aug 29 2004 23:36:31 ET

    MTV, ROLLING STONE and the rock and roll establishment -- past and present -- have cast their vote, and their man is John Kerry.

    So on Sunday night when John Kerry's daughters were announced to speak at the annual MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS, the MTV youth were expected to welcome his daughter's as pop culture princesses.

    Instead, in an era of the unexpected, the daughters of the Democratic candidate were met with cheers -- AND JEERS -- during the live broadcast in Miami.

    From the moment Alexandra and Vanessa started speaking, the boos outweighed anything close to cheers, and the reaction turned worse when the daughters asked the VIACOM youth to vote for their father. So shocked by the reaction, the taller of the two daughters tried to 'shhhhhh' her peers to no avail.

    Glad to know I'm not the only person disturbed by this trend.

    wonder why the Kerry daughters got booed... I don't like their dad's politics much myself, but that's no reason to boo somebody. Or was everybody expecting Alexandra to wear something see-through again and she didn't do it?
