I saw the awards last night too, and once again it was a joke. I never expected MJ to be there in the first place, but I was curious about what was going to happen in general. I thought the whole sound stage look of that main area was horrible, they did way better stuff on their back lot.
It's a good thing that Britney seems to be getting a little back to normal, but I feel like her awards were pity awards, and a ploy to get at least one controversial person to their show. We all know the ratings have been going down and they are trying to get them back. Well, not like that.
Furthermore, I hardly knew anyone on the show, I'm out of touch with today's artists and they all seem to be doing the same thing. And is it me, or are they getting younger every year?? The host's joke about MJ was not only directed towards him, also Madonna. Funny how they did have to use those 2 when referencing to MTV's old glory days. The whole world knows they wouldn't be where they are without these artists. It's just the popular thing to do, to make fun of them. I think most artists are above that. Hell most artists that are worth their salt weren't even there. It's just another event for people like Paris Hilton to get another paycheck by showing up and for that Wentz and Simpson to make sure everybody knows they're married and having a kid. I just can't take it seriously. Everybody is there for the after parties anyway.
Award shows are just not the same anymore, anywhere. That goes for MTV, the Grammys, The Oscar's, etc. I think the explanation is the decline of both industries. The quality has gone down, music isn't the same anymore, and everything is so damn corporate now, it's sickening sometimes.
Oh well, just my 2 cents. Or I guess that adds up to about a dollar.
