LIVEBLOGGING the 2011 VMA's: Yeah, I Didn't Know They Played Videos, Either.

T-minus 30 minutes until the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards air live from LA. My friend Mike mentioned that everytime the VMA's are OUTSIDE of NYC, it's awful. I would like to co-sign on that.  We know that Lady Gaga and Katy Perry will be the only ones to win awards tonight, so let's just be okay with that now.  I'm looking at the list of performers and nominees and it's a who's who of..."WHO?!"

There's just something about VMA's of today that suck. It's way too predictable and....yeah, MTV plays about an hour of videos a day. It seems like they shouldn't be able to do it anymore. I'm shocked they just don't have "reality" awards for their shows along with VH1's shows and the shows on CMT that make it obvious that they're turning THAT into garbage as well.

Wanna place a bet at how many "Jersey Shore," Justin Bieber, "Gaga is crazy," "Teen Mom is our guilty pleasure," "Twilight" mentions will go down?! 15 a piece...or maybe 10, since there isn't a host for the show.  We'll see :)

It's 8:40pm, I have a few things to post. SPOILER ALERT: Jay Z & Kanye are going to perform. Also, according to the Huffington Post, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine had some beef with the VMAs and tweeted about it last night. His tweet:

" the VMA's. one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I'm drawing a line in the sand. fuck you VMA's."

Makes a valid point. 

MTV then tweeted this ZINGER!:

"@adamlevine Soooo you'll be tuning in at 9/8C tomorrow right? (BTW, bonus points if you TwitPic your 2004 Moonman!) cc "

My response to MTV (though no one cares what I think):

"@MTV Should probably prove him wrong before you start with the Zingers. 2004 MTV is diff than 2011 MTV. "

I despise it when people pretend they are what they aren't and then are dicks about it; MTV.

Just wanted to throw these goofs out there before we get started in 15 minutes :) READY?!

8:54: *SIGH* Everytime I watch one of these preshows...man...the lack of talent BLOWS MY MIND. Makes me miss Loder and Norris so much! How about we get back MTV Circa 2000?! Also, LMFAO look DIRTY. Like, they need to invest in Colgate and/or Crest like yesterday.

8:56 PRODUCTION VALUE STINKS. Britney's here and apparently, there's a tribute, but they spent 30 minutes with her.

8:58: So are they REALLY announcing people this way? And why is it that EVERY YEAR "GAGA WILL MAKE HISTORY?!" Katy Perry looks a mess, go back to the black hair...

9:00: Let's go! In the spotlight it's someone smoking...Gaga in reverse drag?!

9:01: Ugh. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

9:03: Why do people insist on consistently cursing live on air. Do the networks not even warn them anymore, "Just do what you want, we have censors"

9:04: This is the reason why I don't like Gaga. I think she can really sing, but she does too much most of the time. Show your talent not the extras, girl.

9:05: So, what I heard earlier is OFFICIAL. Beyonce is pregnant with her first child. Mazel Tov to she and Jay-Z.

9:08: Why was that so historical?! She smoked and cursed like the dude from "Grease" for 5 minutes before she erratically performed. She has this message about being yourself, but she never is!

9:09: Kevin Hart is so effin' funny! And he was about to get booed for critiquing Gaga.

9:11: MTV's audience obvs doesn't find him hilarious

9:13: JESSIE J!!! I *heart* her

THIS THING IS GETTING WEIRDER....

9:15: Best Pop Video goes to the ROBOT, Britney Spears. Duh. LOL They're having a tribute for her...

9:17: LMFAO...Rick Ross painting!!!

9:21: This is a great tweet from Carson Daly: Carson Daly
