Dear MTV,

Thanks for giving us probably the worst VMA's ever. And not to sound harsh, but the first two hours felt like reverse segregation. I would say to fix this, find a new host and put the camera on more people than just Jamie Fox, Usher, and Beyonce. The only saving grace was Kelly Clarkson.

I was very embarrassed for RKelly.

That performance was brutal.

I don't know, but I think every Tony Award winner should take a tip from Ludac...? (however you spell his name) and accept as he did "It's about damn time!"

Such class :)

yep, yep. Damn! I was going to spell that way too but figured I'd be wrong.

Why did he choose to lip sync? OH MAN. I still don't get what he was doing!

I could never understand that popularity of I Believe I Can Fly. Flat, whiny, flat, flat, and flat. And whiny. And that was on the RECORDING. I hope no one ever had to hear it live ever.

It was worse than a Sondheim night at Rose's Turn!

LOL

Good thing I forgot they were on. I watched The Notebook instead (and fell in love with Rachel McAdams AGAIN).

Terribly manipulative film, but it still made me cry.

Rachel McAdams is my new girlcrush. She's so so pretty and actually a good actress!

did anyone find it enjoyable how many empty seats there were?

I went and there were not that many empty seats... until R Kelly's performance... then everyone went out to get drinks. Anyway, the fact that there was a hurricane two days before the VMAs definitely impacted the whole weekend experience. Last year, it was crazy everywhere. This year, it was easy to get reservations at restaurants and there were a lot less people in town.

hmm... it just looked like there were hardly ANY people in the mezz. But w/e.

I have no doubt there were less people this year thanks to Katrina. It may also have been b/c the rows in that section are rather wide. I don't think that looks too great on camera. I haven't watched the show yet, so this is only from my vantage point (I was to the right of the main stage).

I was curious whether or not any of the cursing made it on air even with the delay. After 50 Cent's performance, he or the other guy he performed with (not sure of his name) yelled, "Fat Joe, you are a pu..." or something to that effect. After that, a bunch of people rushed the stage and about 12 police officers followed. Was any of that shown?

The highlight of the show was Kelly Clarksons ending. Green Day deserved all those awards. Their awsome.

did anyone actually like Kelly Clarkson's performance?

[PJ]

Posted: 8/29/05 at 7:53pm

Vocally she sucked. Plain and simple. But her energy and stage presence were incredible.

[BroadwayGirl107]

Posted: 8/29/05 at 7:55pm

Wasn't she the only one there who even attempted to sing live?

I thought Kelly had guts - she played rocker chick and for the most part was in tune and when one is screaming that's the most one can hope for....a HUGE departure from where she came from - good for her!!

It really was the worst VMA's I think I've ever seen.

I love Diddy as much as the next person but he cannot host a show like that. You need a comedian, someone who can keep the show flowing. Diddy can't do that.

Kelly Clarkson will ruin her voice right quick if she ever tries that again.

R.Kelly. I'm still trying to figure that one out. What the hell? He's gone like Bobby Brown crazy.
