Finally got around to watching the VMAs

To put it in Tim Gunn's words, "I was underwhelmed." Lady Gaga looked and was generally great all around, she is someone I would love to spend time with as long as there was no annoying entourage, and Taylor Swift was talented and gorgeous. So much for the good parts. Chelsea Handler, whom I usually find amusing, was just boorish and lame. Her jokes made me uncomfortable in a not funny way, just coming off as rude. Lindsay Lohan looked awful in her little skit at the beginning, with that mullet/ bangs hair that is going around and some odd mushroom-shaped dress. The performances all seemed to take a back seat to the annoying stage lighting, and the Mickey Mouse head DJ- WTF? So that is what the kids call cool (or is it 'sick') nowadays. That was the dorkiest thing I ever saw, and an embarrassment to rock, techno, rap, ANY type of music. It's good that Lady Gaga and Eminem took the big awards, but baffling that a relatively interesting year for pop music should culminate in such a disappointing award show. MTV, you blew it this time.
