VMA'S!
And the show begins!
Rock band of the night, Green Day, sets off the night with a great performance which I thoroughly enjoyed. But then, Diddy comes out and it's all downhill from there.
Just kidding. I honestly think Diddy did a good job. I especially liked the Biggie tribute. It's good to see that after all these years he's still honoring the late great hip hop legend and because of that, no one will ever forget him.
Speaking of hip hop legends, Kanye West, who is on his way to achieving said status himself, was one of the first winners of the night. He and American Idol's numero uno winner, Kelly Clarkson split the first category Best Male and Best Female Video.
Ludacris performed soon after with a live band and dancers from "all over the world". Both Luda and Bobby Valentino looked great in their suits but I'm just happy Bobby V didn't wear the belt with the big buckle he seems to have grown fond of.
Diddy makes an announcement that "anything can happen" at this awards show and to prove it, he took off his Jacob watch and hands it to a lucky audience member. I'm suprised a fight didn't break out right then and there...
Next up Diddy talks about his fashion challenge and announces the nominees: Usher, Kanye, and Snoop for the men - Eva L., Amerie, and Gwen S. for the women.
Snoop and Gwen will go on to win the $50,000. Gwen is "probably" going to donate hers to the Orange Co. Hosp. (How do you say probably? What if she changes her mind? I'm sure the hospital is waiting for their money now that she's said it on live television. I you watch a re-run and MTV has bleeped it out, we'll know Gwen changed her mind.)
To take a step further to prove his earlier statement that "anything can happen", Diddy and Omarion break out in an impromptu dance contest that was far to brief to hold my attention. But, lo and behold! Uncle Luke and his infamous booty dancers come out and show the MTV audience how it's done in Miami. The dancing was vulgar and very risque and the camera caught Kelly of Destiny's Child saying, with a disgusted look on her face, "What is that girl doing?"
To which my reply was, "Nothing your girl, Beyonce aint already done and you and your girl Michelle aint already tried to do."
Then comes my favorite performance of the evening- MC Hammer comes out and everyone goes bananas! Veteran (as far I know, Jay-Z was the only veteran in attendance lol)and newcomers alike stand up and enjoy this legendary entertainer. Yes, homeboy is wack as ever NOW. But don't try to act like you wasn't trying to do the typewriter back in the early 90's... I thought so.
Unfortunately, Hammer was still rocking that corny banadana. Come on. Some things are better left in the 90's.
Keeping in time with the dancing theme, the dancers from the movie, Rize, exploited their talents by battling on stage- Clownin' vs. Crumpin'. A little girl came out at the end of the performance and killed it though. I really enjoyed seeing such a young lady tear up the stage better than the adults.
Well folks, this post is getting long so I will end here and continue on another post. Be sure to check back for the remainder of my re-cap because there is much more to tell.
