They probably got booed the same reason Linda Ronstadt did: people came to party and listen to music and didn't want to hear about politics. I saw the replay last night and it was about 50/50 boos vs cheers.
I think it is a sad state of affairs when we can have over a page about the VMAs without a single hot chick picture.
The boos were for whom? http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/30/candidates.daughters/index.html ...The boos seemed to die down and cheers took their place toward the end of the segment, when the Kerry daughters took back the floor and encouraged people to support victims of Hurricane Charley, which devastated portions of Florida earlier this month.
I think they got booed because people are sick of MTV shoving the election down their throats. I'm sick of all this rock the vote crap. It's good to vote and I'm politically active, but MTV went over the edge last night. Especially with the whole ending to that show with the voting banners and signs and crap.
whew, thank god cnn came in a cleared that one up. They should all be booed anyway for being ugly and b****y.
Get the hell out! Don't stay through that storm. If you need a place to crash, you can stay with my family or at my cousin's in midwest Georgia. You don't want to deal with a CAT 5. Trust me. A 4 is bad enough.
This is the impression that I got. Nobody in that crowd wanted to hear Carson Daly pimp the electoral process. They wanted to see someone's t*** fall out of their dress or some fake lesbo smooching. I agree that the rock the vote crap is completely r****ded. As if MTV's target demographic is even old enough to vote. You play Hilary Duff and Ashlee Simpson all ******* day and then expect their fans to hit the voting booths? I'm quite sure I'd rather Avril Lavigne and B2K fans stayed home. MTV has sucked for forever, but you can usually count on the VMAs for at least one "Holy ****!" moment. This year was pathetic.
Why the heck did I even ask this. I forgot there for a second that MTV live crowds are idiots. I remember one time when Eminem won an award he called out Moby during his acceptance speech and said something like, "I will hit a man with glasses", and then boos started to rain down from the crowd. After literally 15 minutes, Em won another award or did a good performance and then the crowds gave him cheers again.
