seems i have so much to rant about today, i hafta double post. and i'm not even gonna rant about why mondays suck. amidst the hoopla, the massive amounts of confetti, and the teenage girls screaming their faces off, the muchmusic video awards were handed out last night. and i will now nitpick details because that is what i do...nitpick things to death.

they aired a disclaimer b4 the show and after every commercial, claiming the event was live, and even with their best efforts, some things may offend some viewers.
with that said, jamie kennedy smoked pot on screen. and the CROWD CHEERED. slightly perplexing and disturbing at the same time.

one of the more popular celebrity couples out there (not you britney and whatshisface...no one cares about u), rob and amber, aka romber, decided halfway through the show that they needed to head up to the second floor. they promptly took the elevator, where ed the sock gave them the verbal thrashing of a lifetime (i'm exagerating). one flight of stairs wouldn't have killed those two would it? after all the physical endurance challenges they went through on survivor and amazing race...they SO could've done one flight of stiars. okay, maybe they didnt know where the stairs were.... at least thats the excuse i use to take the elevator. i'm digressing.

onto the boisterous fans. during the performances, everytime a camera panned onto the crowd, the fans would look into the camera and start waving, while the performance was going on behind their backs. strange. i guess thats what happens when you have ppl like ciara performing, ppl naturally get bored. in fact, during that performance i was more fascinated at the traffic lights changing overhead. (i must admit, ciara was OK...still i was slightly bored).

a fan also decided to run onto the stage during the black eyed peas performance. the peas usually call out local b-boys/girls to the stage during performances so i thought this was all part of the show. until the fan got smoked by two huge dudes in security t-shirts. funny stuff.

the loudest cheer, went to the backstreet boys. i was SLIGHTLY surprised because only half the crowd was cheering (the women). the other half, uncomfortable with their man-hood refused to cheer due to the fear of being laughed at if they got caught on camera.

in other surpising performance news, ashlee simpson did not lip sync. instead, she sucked. REAL BAD...she must've made up her own key halfway through the song. she tried to cover it up by throwing a hissy fit all over the stage. the fans were somehow singing along, proving once again that if you're popular, fans will eat up whatever crap you feed to them.

most memorable line of the night for me: "i got soul, but I'm not a soldier" - the Killers. they also brought out a black choir, which was a perfect way to end off the show for me. no complaints here, in fact, i may just end up buying their album.

happy mondays to you too
