2005 MTV Music Awards (Pre-Show)
The first interview of the night was Usher who was heavy on promoting his new record label, Us Records. How creative. Now, I've spoken about this before but I must say this again. Why do urban artists feel the need to name their companies silly and self promoting names. Ill Nana Entertainment? Us Records? Slip and Slide Entertainment???
Sway interviewed celebrities after allowing them to drive their pimped out rides onto a rotating platform. (why does "pimped out" sound so old and corny now?) The first interview-ee was The Game who stepped out of his ride wearing a ghetto zoot suit and baseball cap to match. Did I dare see a butterfly tattoo on his face? Hey Game, how you doin'?
Next up was Omarion who was wearing a (gasp!) leather jacket in August. Let me remind you that they were in MIAMI. I noticed that O had his baby hair slicked down something awful to either disguise his huge forehead or hide his premature balding. Not a good look on both counts.
MTV'S fashion consultant, Coltran and Diddy's baby mama informed the viewers that the show will simulatneously run a contest called "Diddy's Fashion Challenge". I suspect Mr. Diddy wanted to use as many opportunities as possible to drive the point home that his new name will be "Diddy."
While Madonna was not present, MTV ran a sneak preview of her upcoming dvd titled "I'm Gonna Tell You a Secret". I love you girl, but I think the secret is out. You're gonna re-invent yourself AGAIN and judging by the preview the look will be futuristic and the sound will be that of a digital age. You will probably have the RZA produce your album...
Rock group, My Chemical Romance, arrived in a Brinks truck and one of the members made some stupid comment about wanting protection due to the east coast/west coast beef.
Mike Jones, Slim Thug, and Paul Wall (my personal favorite from that camp) peformed during the preshow, and proved to everyone that we are indeed in the midst of a new ice age. Is it just me or does Mike Jones always look like his top lip is sunburned? Someone should send him a case of blistex...
Now the commercials - my favorite was the Gap jeans commercial. Michelle Williams sounded great singing Al Green's Let's Stay Together, but I could've done without all the celebrity crotch shots...
While Kelly Clarkson looked cute in her gorgeous dress, her interview was quite boring. You can tell the interview is tired when the camera pans to a view of the Miami skyline.
Alicia Keys looked pretty and I loved her hair but her dress was very unflattering. Probably the wrong color. It was puke tan.
Ricki Martin. I almost don't want to say anything but I must be open with the readers. He looked so washed up it was horrendous. Come on, tattoos Ricki? Bare arms and spiky hair? It's so reminescent of Vanilla Ice's reggae comeback. I honestly think he's trying to come back at a time where he can cash in on some of the reggatone money. I mean, isn't it obvious? Fat Joe and Amerie on his first single? I'm suprised he didn't get Nore.
Soon to be jailbird Lil' Kim, drives up to her interview with Sway in a 2005 Phantom Rolls Royce which she claims was a gift. The stereo was blasting her latest single "Put Your Lighters Up" and she mentioned her album drops September 13th. Her nose and lips aren't the only things changing these days- her voice is getting soft and high pitched. Hmmmm. Reminds me of someone...
Jamie Foxx told MTV his album is "dropping right in your mouth" November 15th. Now this is the best news I heard all night!
The G Unit interview soon followed and 50 Cent proved what I always said about him. He is one dumb motherf#$%@#! When asked what the audience should expect from the G Unit performance he said "we're doing a melody". I'm sorry Mr. Jackson, did you mean "medley"?
Destiny's Child was the last interview and I don't have much to say about them except that Michelle talked more than usual and I think they're finally giving her the shine that she deserves 10 minutes before they officially disband. How cruel.
Well that's it for the pre-show. Stayed tuned for my re-cap of the 2005 MTV Video Awards...

Thank you for the re-cap. I myself have not had the chance to see the awards yet. From what I hear it was quite the circus. My man R. Kelly did his thing, with his trapped in the closet performance of course. Honestly that's the only thing I want to see (I love him, even with his bladder problem). Oh yeah is it just me or does money really make a person attractive. Jamie Foxx looked really good, except for the unusual dryness of the lips. Nothing a little Blistex won't cure.
