"Shana's Comments on the 2002 VMA'S"

Countdowns: 3 days til Lenny Kravitz and Pink in concert; 7 days til Jay-Z in concert; 31 days til Michelle Branch in concert.

Song of the Day: Work It by Nelly and Justin Timberlake. Oops! My bad. J to da T.

SHOUT-OUTS TO KIMI AND KAI FOR SIGNING THE GUESTBOOK!!

SHOUT-OUT TO KAI FOR HOOKIN' ME UP WITH THE BOOTLEGS!!

WARNING!! THIS WILL BE REALLY LONG!!!

OK. First of all MTV sucks. Their pre-show was not as entertaining as it has been previously, Kai should have won in the Last Fan Standing Contest(presenting with *NSYNC and then giving the award to Michelle Branch...This entry would have been SO much better had she), and the post-show was lame AND 15 minutes long. So again, MTV sucks.

So to quote Miss Nelly Furtado...."where do I begin"???

Jimmy Fallon- Homeboy's skit of all the performers was SO FREAKIN' FUNNY!! My favorite was Nelly and Avil Lavigne. Too bad he didn't stay that funny through out the show.

Ludacris(pre-show)- Can I do a concert in the middle of New York traffic and then walk all over the cars in front of me? By the way, you shouldn't perform songs that are a duet and your partner is not there. Where was Mystical? Oh yeah. In jail.

Avil Lavigne(pre-show)- Avil please sing the RIGHT notes to your OWN song. It makes for a more pleasing performance.

Britney Spears- Didn't she look like the reject female member of the Village People? And speaking of the Britster, wasn't everyone hoping *NSYNC would win Best Pop Video(No Doubt won) just so you could see her and Justin make faces a la Teen Choice Awards? That would have been so priceless! And how come we couldn't see her during Brillo's performance? DAMN YOU MTV!!

Michelle Branch- That dress was not cute. And then she topped it off with eyeshadow that me and Kai have now referred to as "With Russia From Love".

JC Chasez- Again with the damn bucket hats! Honey please, STOP IT! I am of the theory that he had his hair cut and some one took a big ass chunk out of it and fucked it up and that's why he is rocking them so hard core. And enough with the two shirts!! BUT, they were sleeveless so I will stop. By the way, why was he being a human billboard? I went to the site and it's not even up yet. FINALLY, why must he rock the ugly pants?!?!?! I thought I finally gotten rid of them when he came out in a nice pair of regular jeans. But then I see the back.

Justin Timberlake- What was with the big fuzzy hat? Well at least it wasn't the hat he stole from the bum on Central when he was here. I was not impressed with his performance. It was weird though to see him without SYNC!! And was he LIP SYNCIN' to his own performance? I KNOW you can sing you you damn lyric nazi. You FINALLY get to have the damn spot light only on you and you fuckin' lip sync. What a damn diva.

No Doubt- Gwen: Did your dress get next to a shredder on your way to the show and you decided to leave it like that? Adrian: Thank you SO MUCH for puttin' on some clothes. Granted, they NO WAY matched but I can accept this one small step.

Mary J. Blige- This and will always be my girl but she wears some of the most UGLIEST SHIT! It was like some space monster skin suit. I can't not explain it but trust me. U-G-L-Y!!

Outcast- Some one should really regulate what they wear out in public.

Eminem- Why was he, as well, lip syncing? I do appreciate him being behaved if only for a little bit.

Christina Aguilera- Why does that girl insist on dressing like she is trailer trash? Wasn't it great when she had to give Eminem the Best Male Video Award? The MTV execs must have been having a shit feast when they realized what they did. Hmmm...come to think about it they really weren't on the ball this year. Haha!! That is always fun to watch.

Triumph The Insult Comic Dog- I love the Conan O'Brian Show and I LOVE this dog. Nothing was funnier last year than him fucking with J-Lo's big, cranky ass. Anyways, I was so pissed when they cut off his skit. Damnit, Eminem. Moby was having fun, why couldn't you?

Pink- Her performance kicked ass but why can't she stay dressed either? Her telling everyone she was drunk was hella funny.

Ja Rule and Ashanti- I have now come to accept that when you get one you get the other. Their little (and by that I mean short) performance was cute. Ja Rule was dressed so nice too! But, you know when that happens, it's only a matter of time before he starts taking them off which he did. I did not think it was cool that MTV decided to combine all of the major hip hop acts into one performance(with the exception of P.Diddy).

Brittney Murphy- Does anyone else think she is medicated?

J-Lo- Yeah she won. Big deal. She thanked everyone but she should have been thanking P.Diddy for introducing her to the wonderful world of studio magic. At least she wasn't showing off Ben Affleck.

Shakira- Does this girl kick ass or what? Kai was highly amused by her outfit. Especially the "ass tassels".

TLC- I was damn near tears when Chilli and T-Boz came out. They were right when they said it was a reality check. It was so weird to not have Left Eye there. She is really missed.

Carson Daly- Damn. MTV is slowly but surely getting him off the network. I am so mad that Jimmy Fallon didn't get to parody him!!

Usher- His he now a permanent P.Diddy dancer?

P.Diddy- Only Diddy can throw down over the top performances like that. Hey! Where was Ben Stiller? And who was the little white boy groovin' on stage with him?

Pharrell Williams- How come he didn't go sing with Justin? And does he realize that hat he ALWAYS wears makes him look like a truck driver?

Sharon Osborne- Wasn't it great when Ozzy asked what P.O.D. meant and she said "pod"!!

The Vines- If one of my band members hit me with a guitar it would be on. and finally....

Guns N Roses- Where was Slash?

Ahhh....I love a good award show. Please leave all comments, good or bad, in the guestbook. More laters...
Love, Shana =) '02
